Corporal punishment and JWs
by YellowLab inhow many of you were spanked, beaten or in some other way physically corrected as a jw?.
my mother used to beat me with her hands, shoes, belts and various other items within reach when i misbehaved.
many times it was borderline abuse.. do jws teach to beat their kids into submission using physical means?

JWs and materialism
by YellowLab inbeen out of the "truth" for nine years now, with many family members and relatives still in.
while i was in, we were taught to be humble and put jehovah first in your life.
meetings, study and service were the most essential parts of being a jw.

Anyone interested in some old WT books / publications?
by YellowLab ini was cleaning my basement the other day and came across a box of old wt books and publications i stowed away after i did the "fade".
i wasn't sure if i should toss them, use them for fireplace kindling, sell them on ebay, or see if anyone here would be interested in them.
i haven't gotten through the entire box yet, so i don't have a fully comprehensive list, but here are some to name a few:.

Family stuck in "the truth"
by YellowLab ini often find it difficult to not be able to share some of life's important moments with other family members still stuck in "the truth".
i'm talking about the things that other people take for granted in this world.
after fading away 8 years ago, i still struggle with having to turn off my feelings around my family, or keep quiet about certain things they might deem as "worldly".

Life after the Watchtower
by YellowLab ini was just reflecting today on how wonderful it is to be freed from the watchtower way of thinking.
no more feelings of not being good enough and pressure to do more.
no more boring meetings to go to week after week.
