Hi my name is Manny
I live in San Diego California. I was born an raised to be "Jehova's Witness" and I believe that being forced to: comment during the meetings by parents(which is encouraged by Brothers incharge of our congregation), or to no have any association with anyone in school or elsewhere(when young, we are told that they and very dangerous to be with), Basically what im trying to say is that when we are Kids we dont have a mind of our own. So now that im 18, I noticed that in our reunions in the Kingdom Hall, and especially during the 3 anually district asemblys, the main idea usually focuses on talking about "How to better the lives of Children, and help them become sucessfull JW's". I feel that the brainwashing of innocent children in this way is a form of child abuse. I, luckily am a smart enough person to be able to notice that this is A CULT completely filled with retards, and I personnally enjoy attending asemblys, why? Because while others enjoy taking notes on the lies being said by the person giving a speech, I enjoy to take notes on everyway the speaker contractics himself in his speech aswell as this written in the "REAL" Bible. Now, enough bashing on the poor little Brainwashed CHILD ABUSING Bastards (did I mention that i got baptised at the age of 10, unwillingly). I listen to heavy metal (please dont get me started on this issue), I play Guitar, my hair is spiked not exagrrated and have long sideburns. The Congragation administrators spoke with my mother about me and she said that im now 18 yrs and she cant do nothing about it and believe me she has tried, so they approach me personally. I didnt disrespect them in anyway i just listened, they said i couldnt go door-to-door with them or give a speech in the meetings until , I tame my hair shave my sideburns and so on. This ofcoarse i didnt do, but i didnt get mad. What got me mad is when I go out one night have a couple beers with my girlfriend passed out and got home in the morning, I did not have sex. Well, I got home my parents we in the living with two Brothers from the Hall, my exact words said out loud were "You gotta be fucking kidding me!!!!", well I got kicked out of my house, expelled from the Church, and above all it was announced to everyone in the Congregation. I was furious, but mostly hurt because instead of my family or the church helping me with my supposably DRUG ADDICTION that i didnt have but made everyone think I did, they ignored me and I was not allowed to associate with them. FUCK THEM I DONT NEED FAMILY LIKE THAT AND LESS ANY CULT LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!
I lived with my girlfriend, and I have been craving revenge ever since. I have been calling the Brothers begging for a chance to go and appoligize to my congragation on stage and explain why i want to come back, (hehehehehe------<evil laugh) they said they would think about it with the other brothers.
I want to ask you for advice on what i want to do, I want to talk about what I think about Being JW and talk about the abuse i went through aswell as being forced to be baptised and that i know for a fact that i not the only one that it has been done to, but that im the only one with the guts to say it. I want to talk about why this religion is a "CULT" , why it has contradicted it self many times and why it has been responsible for many deaths of innocent brainwashed children, all of this will be proven with facts not opinions.
PLEASE RESPOND TO ME!!!!!!! THANKs

Manny - forget the revenge thing. Stay away from the JWs. I'm sorry your parents are victims of this cult, I'm sorry for all the brainwashed, but now that you're out and on your own...move on.
Get a job or further your education, support yourself, make something of your life. At age 18, you have every right to choose how to dress, how to wear your hair, what clothes, choosing your own friends etc.....that's normal. Ina few years, you may want to think about settling down and being boringly conventional like the rest of us...of course, that's your choice whether or not you take that path.
For me, I found out that old saying worked best...."TO LIVE WELL IS THE BEST REVENGE"
Good luck...let us know how it's going |

My name is Christian Peper. Revenge can be a very good thing after, let me repeat this: after, after, after, you are strong enough financially, physically, and psychologically. The way you mentioned for revenge is a bit silly though. Wait till you are 100 percent on your feet then cost the cult a few thousand members through a counter cult ministry. Also, get your self together more so you can enjoy the good things in life like good sex with many partners and good pot. I am smoking a joint now and I am not afraid of anything. God bless. |

CP, While that is excellent advice, where the JWs are concerned, it is deplorable advice about the good things in life.
Promoting the use of illegal drugs as, one of the good things in life, could be considered as, an 'Accesory, After The Fact'. While there no laws about promoting the behavior of having multiple sex partners, it still has the potential of contracting an STD(AIDS, Gonorrhea, Syphillis, Herpes, etc.) |

Manny, my name is Carol. I spent 12 in a cult myself. The thing they all miss is they take the God they all profess and make him into an organization. Hes not. Im sorry for what you went through, but one day you will see the benifit of it, strange as that sounds. It will be hard for a while to not respond to the rest of the world as though they are those elders trying to controle you. Dont take it out on everyone. The one Jesus they all walk away from and make into an organization is the one person who can help heal their hearts. |

WOW Manny, sounds like you had interesting training.
I was also Put on PUblic reproof, after 12 years with an abusive non believing husband. I had 4 young children to support after he left me, and of course because I was not to be spoken too by any JW, I was basically on my own.
They discouraged higher education, so I didn't have a career to fall on either.
I never have smoked, or been a drunk, I have lived my life in integrity as I know it to be.
One thing I have to offer is this: Life is too short to be miserable. Life is a gift worth living well. Do the best you can to live a fabulous life, enjoy true friendship, and explore every belief system you can.
One interesting aside, My Grandmothers last name was Russel, her Grandfather was the illigitmate son of Charles Taze Russel, the founder of the Bible Students Society in Pennysylvania. He swore he never harmed anyone, but had divorced his wife after fooling around with a secretary, (MY 5th great grandmother)in the beginings of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.
It's all on line, even though he denied it. This was a religious Bible Study organization that has turned into a hideous cult. I am grateful for my training, and I will continue to learn as much as I can about how to become the best person I can be. I love my children so very much, and to me that is a testimony of a life well lived. Dividing up families is a CRIME!
Find friendships and create a new family, it will be very worth it.
May you be happy and well, be loving and forgiving, and don't be influenced by those who are hippocrates!
Blessings to you Manny, there is a whole world of wonder waiting for you. Honor your body, we only get one!
