What of the child taught that homosexuality is a sin later understands that they themselves are in fact homosexual?
No winners in that approach.
i know a few family's who have left the cult but send their kids to a religious school because of the public schools teaching many times that homosexuality is ok. the bible is clear that its a sin.
there is no just love each other and its all ok. i don't believe in the bible or any religion.
i have a niece who came out as gay and i told her i don't care.

why are the leaders of the watchtower corporation modestly silent about this shame jehovah witnesses?.
all children jehovah witnesses potential terrorist?.
only not politics!

yes I see your point. Those kids are pretty young (12-ish?) to have developed an interest in such things on their own. Camping, canoeing, hiking and community service might be more appropriate if the aim was good citizens (Boy scouts/ Girl Guides) rather than Hitler Youth.

That picture could be from any peace loving country's cadet program.
Those youngsters are not going to become killers just because they know and understand the horrible potential of weaponry - I see some very reflective expressions and body language among a group of kids .
Ultimately their culture, society and home-life will mold their thinking and values regarding such fearsome potential.
Mental illness creates a wild card and Pit123123 makes a well known connection between JW indoctrination and elevated levels of mental illness -THAT is a cause for concern as he/she rightly points out.
long question, but very important.. i can use some help.
my daughter wants out of the organization and i need some advise.. here is my background in a nutshell.
i am fully faded for 10+ years.
Indian Larry - good to hear from you.
Your daughter is lucky to have such a great dad.
Thank you for arranging care by a professional counselor - she now has one true friend who is not, and cannot be, influenced by cult madness - a real comfort I would imagine.
A therapist is the perfect person to lend real substantive LEGAL backing to your daughters wishes for a life of self direction, freedom and individual choices.
Do you think that your daughter is aware that she has legally enforceable human rights? right to freedom of association, expression, speech and freedom to reject any religion without being persecuted for the choice? and without
Might be an empowering subject for both her and her therapist, as once a therapist records in writing a persons abandonment of their religion, it preempts all future ecclesiastic interference with the persons life.
Please research Norman Hancock - a Mormon who not only escaped Mormonism but won a large settlement for their violation of his right to be rid of them.
Hope you keep in touch - everyone here cares deeply about your dilemma and your daughters happiness.

my wife and i will be presenting in a class at the local university in a couple of weeks.
the class is about social media and psychology.
of course they talk about fake news and propaganda.
Gerrit Losch said that higher education was like putting a gun to your head (in English). Can't beat that for an us vs. them when the us is a lecture hall of university students!
I'll search around and see if I can find it.
not that i spend much time on the cult's website, but i like to skim through their latest propaganda to make sure i'm up to date with their nuttiness.
(and when i say skim, i mean just that.
the wafer thin, dumbed down content can be read in like 2 mins flat).. i just had to share my thoughts on the above piece of trash.. no.
Learned WAY more than that in kindergarten - and it was a helluva lot more fun than any stupid kingdumb hall .

May 22, 1969 Awake!
false direction to young people -" you will never finish school or have a career before the end of this system" paraphrased promise
propaganda designed to keep young ones working for WT as a future.
Like some of your audience will be, I was a teen in '69 and my grandchildren have now been to university and now enjoying their professional careers as teachers engineers....
Lying bullshit WT propaganda

a picture being worth a thousand words...and if you can backdrop your presentation with images...
Many people here simply can't forget the Wts horrible in-house art work they were exposed to as children... worldlies are always hoodlums or sluts, smokers, long hairs, unshaven,
Violence from god always depicted as the earth opening up, fire from the sky, cities collapsing on fire ... one member here still remembers her fear of the drawing of a girl and her bicycle falling into the void ...published when she was herself a girl with a bicycle.
the wt used to have a long page on the ico website listing all the data they gathered and what they were going to do with it.
their basic contact listings are there but thats all??.
whats going on??
ICO?
so i was talking with my husband about all the things the organization is doing ie.
hiding pedophiles, lying about what 1914 was etc.
so his response was that the nation of israel had times when they weren’t doing the right thing, but it was still gods chosen organization.. another topic we were talking about was disfellowshipping.
Spirits, angels, devils and gods always where, and still are only fictional characters of human imaginations.
There is nothing (excepting education) to stop the inventing of a god and declaring some as "chosen people".
