When I was a kid in the 60's and early 70's I heard talks about blood all the way up to the horses shoulders. Birds picking the eyes out all the dead people after the big A. I had a book showing children falling into a bit hole caused by a earthquake. Then the oral sex talks and the masturbation talks. No wonder I needed therapy. And don't forget the demon stories about how they get in furniture and other objects and how they can take over your body if you allow them in. The threat of dieing a horrible death because you didn't listen to some old guy in NY. Yes the WT Cult is innapropriate for yound children. Totally ADD

Innapropriate for young children? Scare tactics?
by The Quiet One ingods word for us through jeremiah page 128 '..his mother bought a ram and a ewe.
he looked after them, and the ewe produced two lambs a year, so the flock began to grow..."early one morning while i was still in bed," he recalls, "i heard them bleating.
when i finally did, i saw a pack of wild dogs running away from my lambs, which had their bellies ripped open.

Sorry you have to deal with this MrFreeze. Next time you have a chance to talk to them just blame it all on me. How there is this crazy Ex donut guy who has pulled you away from the cult I mean Borg I mean God's loving mind control people. That way you have a fall guy to fall back on. LOL No really those who are still under mind control will never really listen to reason. All you can do is keep going on with your life and show them you are doing very well. They are just looking for something bad to happen to you then they can all sit back and say see thats what happen when you leave the mindcontrol people of the Borg. Theirs is not a religion of love but of judgement. Take Care. Totally ADD

There are really TWO Watchtower Societies
by Terry inwith cedars release of leaked watchtower new light "adjusting" understanding of "who" the faithful and discreet slave is.....i am struck by something which similarly struck me back in 1967.in 1967 i had just been imprisoned.
being a male jehovah's witness during the viet nam war meant certain "issues" arose affecting a decision to respond to the military draft.i have told the story before.
but, i'd like go at it from another angle in view of the above mentioned new light about the fds fora different reason.it was first in 1967 i began to discover that there are two watchtower societies.let me explain why i say this and for what reasons.first of all, anybody standing in a kingdom hall or sitting in a seat at a vast international assembly saw people they would identify as all on the same page.

Thanks Terry. Just like Franz in his book COC cause me to remember what went on back in the late 60's and 70's you too have done the same. I forgot how young witness men were coach in what to say to the Judge and higher ups. How the WT was untouch by all this while at the same time a heavy load was placed on the shoulders of these young men. I remember how they would brag about how the WT did not sacrifice young men to go to war like other religions did. But they did sacrifice young JW men to prison and life time of a criminal record following them. At the same time they walk away unscathed proud of themselves that they showed others how much better they were than other religions. You are right there are two sets of rules that are followed. The cards are stacked against those who are JW and house always wins. Totally ADD

New member says hey
by jay dubless ini have lurked now and then, just decided to join.. my older brother and i were raised by our jw mom, but our dad was a non-practicing catholic.
so we went to the hall, but were considered "weak" witnesses, since our family still celebrated xmas and birthdays, to appease my dad i suppose.
as a kid, i loved these holidays.. anyways, when my brother was 17 (i was 13), he spent a few weeks with our cousins in ky, who are all gung-ho j-dubs, and upon his return, he decided he was going to be more "theocratic".

Welcome Elbear to this site. I agree with Hortensia. Get some help. Mind control is a very hard thing to overcome. Many people don't realize how powerful it is. So don't take mindcontrol lightly. It causes all kinds of problems when one wants to get away from it. It's kinda like a smoker try to stop smoking. They go through withdrawal because of the hold the smoking had on them. Mind control cults cause the same damage on their victims. Getting help from a professional goes a long way in overcoming these bad thoughts. You are a very brave person for what you are doing. Thank you for sharing it with us. Take Care. Things will get better. Totally ADD

Thanks for the imformation Satanus. Good part of my life I believe humans have been around only 6000 years. In my late 40's I started looking into what science had to say on this and as time went on between the flood account (which made no sense) and how longs humans have been around was the first big crack and help me get out of the JW world. I felt if the Bible was wrong on this what else is it wrong in. Yet millions of people hang their whole life on a book written by bronze age men. That is why LouBelle I don't think many fundamental christians will listen. Just like the JW's are under the influence of mind control so our the fudamentalist christians. Totally ADD
