A JW Kid Halloween Story

So unlike most JW kids, I grew up with Halloween for a good part of my childhood. This was because my father was worldly and decided we would have holidays. As I grew up and got further indoctrinated into the religion, the holidays stopped. So my first year without Halloween was a little awkward.

I showed up to school without a costume and was immediately asked what I was dressed as in the snide way people ask children without costumes on Halloween.

"What are you supposed to be dressed as?" She asked with annoyed disdain in her voice.

"I'm a Jehovah's Witness," I responded.

"What?" She asked as if she couldn't believe I said that.

"I'm a Jehovah's Witness," I repeated.

"You shouldn't make fun of people's religion!" She said. "They're good people!"

"I know," I said. "I'm one of them."

"That's disrespectful!" And she went off to report me until people around me began to speak up.

Eventually I showed her my blood card to prove I was actually a JW. She was extremely nice to me for the rest of the day. I told her that I appreciated the defense.

Years later it's a funny story but I felt like shit at the time.

PSA: If a kid isn't dressed up on Halloween, don't say a single fucking thing about it. You don't know what's going on in that kid's life. You're not the fucking Halloween police. Sit the fuck down.

When I was a child I was very often told that Armageddon would happen before I reached adulthood. What this essentially meant to me at the time is that I would lose just about everything I cared about, which was what few worldly friends I had and all my toys. This terrified me so much. Everything from "this system of things" was wicked, which I figured meant toys too. I brought this up to my mom and told her I was scared of Armageddon because it meant I'd have nothing. She and some elders in the congregation told me I'd be made perfect by Jehovah and wouldn't miss my toys so I could spend all day rebuilding and worshiping.

I cannot over-emphasize how much worse this was for my state of mind. I withdrew completely from just about everything. I stopped hanging out with friends. I stayed inside, read books, played video games. Just immersed myself in stuff I didn't think would be around much longer. I had to enjoy the things I wouldn't be able to anymore. I stopped applying myself at school because grades won't be important. Seven year old me, facing down the prospect of an eternal youth of servitude and manual labor, only cared about the things I'd be missing when they were gone.

A thing I love to do is telling prepper dudes that one of my disaster readiness skills is making stuffed animals. They never get it. Like, my dude, when things get very bad and we're all sharing overcrowded shelters, you're gonna want the power to comfort children. Trust me.

Jehovah's Witnesses Exposed by XJW Jordan Maxwell

[chameleon777-me]

I am pleased to announce that I was the role of Voice # 3 in a film titled 'Captivity - An XJW Short Film' made by @torontofilmschool graduate and former Jehovah's Witness Stephajn Szekely. I offered to be of help to him when I saw a post he made online asking for help in finishing his film and I'm very glad that I was able to help him finish a project that I came to learn means a great deal to him. Although 'Captivity' touches upon subjects that may be sensitive to some, it is a very insightful film to watch and I would encourage all to watch it. Anyone who is interested in watching 'Captivity' can view it at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emM-fEX1kmE&t=63s #actor #actorlife #voice #voiceactor #voice #performer #performing #entertainer #entertainment #keepalbertarolling #albertafilm #albertafilmindustry #alberta #film #filmisnotdead #religion #healing #healingjourney #recovery #recoveryispossible #relief #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalwellness #identity #selfworth #selflove #selflovejourney #selfcare #growth #love https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmpois-v1Pt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My Predictions for Caleb and Sophia

For the uninitiated: Caleb and Sophia are two characters that feature in short videos produced by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society intended to indoctrinate Jehovah's Witness children. They're two young children, siblings, raised as Jehovah's Witnesses and dealing with many of the problems growing up as one brings. For people raised as Jehovah's Witnesses, it brings back a flood of insane memories. I kind of can't help but like them. The kids go through things I went through myself, and as I watch I imagine what they're feeling in that moment. The things I would have felt. The thoughts and emotions I would have suppressed. If you're curious I recommend looking them up on youtube. Owen Morgan aka Telltale has a bunch of videos where he reacts to them and provides commentary. He's just one of many that cover the videos.

Whenever I watch a Caleb and Sophia video I always speculate how they end up. So here's my predictions.

We'll start with Caleb, since his story is one that easily could have been mine. Caleb is the Bart Simpson. He's a kind of rambunctious kid. He would like sports and video games if he was allowed, but he doesn't have those outlets available to him so it all becomes bible study and chores. He's given busy work at meetings and field service, and eventually he gets given "privileges" like working the soundboard and passing the microphones around at the Watchtower Magazine study or organizing and manning the literature counter. Eventually he'll make Ministerial Servant, which is the rank below Elder in the congregation and basically means he's being groomed for command. But thankfully he's never going to be an Elder. He's eventually going to be put in charge of the congregation's other rambunctious young boys, and will be responsible for studying with them and indoctrinating them into the Watchtower Society's beliefs. He's going to be seen as a role model and success story. His post high-school years will see him juggling his responsibilities with the congregation and working in a trade. Statistically window washing, but any given trade is likely. He'll apprentice under another Jehovah's Witness, possibly a relative, who is also likely an Elder who now holds his economic and social future in his hands. Now you'd think with all this going on, is Caleb happy? Well, that depends. He might genuinely be if he's kept too busy to really think about his life or what he wants from it and is too sheltered to experience anything more. But that's really difficult to do. Most JW young men get to experience just enough of the world to give them a taste, and everyone has a vice. Statistically it's porn and smoking. Chances are he'll get caught once, repent, lose his privileges, and then eventually make a slow return shortly after getting married. Caleb is getting married by 19 at the latest. He's full of so many hormones and urges if there's no release he's going to pop. So he'll marry literally the nearest non-related Jehovah's Witness girl roughly his age. If there are none nearby, he'll meet one at a convention or (scandalously) JWdate. Yes, that's real, and it's kind of an open secret because dating websites are not really what a JW should be about. Somewhere in the following years he's going to be working hard at his trade, trying to regain his status as a Ministerial Servant, and figuring out how to live with this stranger he rushed into marrying. Maybe they can make it work. Maybe they can't. I can't say. But kids will be happening soon. Eventually Caleb is going to hit a crisis moment where he needs to decide whether or not this is the life he wants. There's a roughly 66% chance he doesn't. He's got to make a choice. Does he stay in the life he has? Can he leave the Watchtower Society behind and still keep his family? That I can't say. I like to think his wife also has similar doubts, and through this their bond strengthens, they come to truly love each other deeper than they did when they first married, and leave together, sparing their children from the same life they were forced into. But doing that means they'll only ever have each other. Sometimes that's enough. Sometimes it isn't. His wife could divorce him, taking the kids and leaving him alone. He'll eventually find apostate material online and become fervently anti-JW, with only bitter memories among the ashes of a life that never had a chance to be anything but this.

Next we'll turn to Sophia. Some of my story for her is pure conjecture based on what I've seen from friends I grew up with. When I see Sophia, I see specific girls I knew growing up and I think of things they've told me about their lives. I don't have any experience being a girl in the Jehovah's Witnesses, but her story is one that I feel is honestly similar to mine just with her dealing with all of the added pressure of being a woman in a fucked up patriarchal clusterfuck like that. I'll have to make a part 2 for her, as Tumblr has a character count. I will reblog this post with that when I am done with it. Thank you for reading this far. I hope this provides some insight.

Ew. Found this under my blanket/stuffy bag while packing. Guess it survived the purge. #exjw #xjw https://www.instagram.com/p/CFFIvxenIqt/?igshid=1lrobh3t8us3n
