I read your posts and want to say I'm sorry how you had been through. I would like to add some what I know because I was being involved with JW people in the past (I'm not JW belief but study their bible because I'm interesting to know about their beliefs) because I went same school with them. I raised to know alot about them...
Oh really! I am accepted through it but Thank God! I accepted Jesus Christ now. It over now.
Liebling, True, the JW parents said the same things to teachers to not let their children to involve celebration like what you mentioned. JW children are upset and want to join us at parties... Some teachers feel bad for them and explained them why... and then give in let them enjoy parties without let their parents know. JW children kept themselves good what they did in school.
Yes, Right! I was very upset it. It not fair them good time! if I involed them. They would yell to me "YOU GO HELL WITH DEVIL"!! They always depend and got my brother is hard of hearing and interpeted me. That's why OHH NOO!!! I don't want listen it. I was boiled and angryed. I thought , God actioned like look through my parents did to me. I found truth Jesus Christ in 1990. God not kind it!!!
Of course I asked them why they are not allow to have celebration. They explained that celebration belongs Satan world.
EXCALTY!!! Whatever they are believed it....
I know how you feel because it happened the same to JW children at my school as well...
Yes, It truth! I understand other children are very suffered or accepted obey thier parents.
I not obey them for long times because I caught it many many things it not made sense. Sometimes they pushy too hard and hurt burn my arm because They cant stand of me bad damn it. They always called me SHUT UP!!! or punished ground room 2 weeks or a month. They hated accepted my truth! Also, They slap my face. When I question and not made sense them about public or Bible or etc whatever! EXPLAIN YOU READ HERE ABOUT DEATH WEBSITE!

They hoped me brainwash it. They believed different opionion. I told them sorry, I felt not right gut and not believed them period. They angryed and insulted terrible me down. They wanted me pay attention right! I won't it plus they won't learn sign language it. I was mad at them that they always depend my brother interperter for me. It called him abused for interperter. They would learn sign language and key commuicate with me not instead with him!
JW children have no freedom but they have to do is keep away from "Satan World".
EXCALTY!!!!
wow, I can't image that JW parents did like that to you because I know many JW parents whom I'm befriend with their children. They did not do that like what your parents did.
EXCALTY!!! They always picky and fussy it. They wanted me believed 100 with JW. I hided it felt not right long times.
Yes, they talked about Satan but did not threaten to punish their children over little things etc or abuse them etc. Alot of JW parents are good parents and worship their beliefs until you mentioned in your post... Yes, I know most parents are strict but not do like what they did to you. You are a first person, I ever heard from your posts here. I'm total surprised because none of JW parents like that.
Yes, I understand what you surpirised that. What depend they wanted our children punished the ground 2 weeks or a months or take spank the abused. They always YELL at me " YOU ARE DEVIL"!!!! I gasped it. I thought same God yelled at me "YOU ARE DEVIL". Soo, I cant stand it. They forced me read Bible every night. That's why many yrs, I thought God mad at me because I was sinned rebuked against God. Since, I ranaway married to former husband from away family. I was rebuked against my family. too, My sister was rebuked against family and God. When I am very happy you read my story thread JW.
Do you still contact your parents after that?
