My 4th grade teacher loathed me because I was a JW, I don't understand why some teachers hate us because alot of us don't want to be a JW, it's forced on by our parents....I remember my teacher telling my mom "We're all on the same boat" and my mom replied "No We're not".....and my teacher saying JWs are "fanatics"....it's turns out my teacher was right

Back in the 80's there were 2 boys, sons of an elder, in a wealthy witness family who played high school football in the next town over from me. They were even featured on an assembly and the elder facilitating the session was doing some mental gymnastics to justify why it was ok for them to play football, but not the rest of us. I remember being so confused. It still boggles my mind. They are now a financial advisor who owns his own firm and I believe the other owns his own construction company, so apparently they were also allowed to attend college, even though college was heavily demonized in the 80's. Apparently the financial advisor guy just gave a talk on the summer assembly that my Mom attended. Interesting career to have investing people's money for the long term when your religion says the world is ending any day now.

[@Livelifewell777]

My school days were exactly like you describe. I didn't have any JW kids that were kind to me even in the hall. There was one JW girl in the hall who was a year older than me and in my jr highschool. I ate all my lunches alone and sat by the principal's office so as not to get beat up after lunch, a lot of times I would be literally shaking by the principal's office. Not one stupid adult noticed me. One ofthe things that hurt the most from my memories was standing in line for lunch and that JW girl was always late getting in line, she would scan tge line for me and would come up to me with her minions of worldly girlfriends then bump me with her hip sending me flying out of the line. She would then say "I was standing here right!" I would have to go to the back of the line and start all over. I am now 60 and last year there was some invent at that school in that same cafeteria all those memories came washing over me I was surprised at how much it still hurts. On top of that the elders loved her she could do no wrong in their eyes, her and her sister. I was like this beat up puppy dog that kept trying to please the elders and everyone. I pioneered even went to Bethel but I was never as good in the elders eyes as this woman is still and she never did anything never even got baptized until her mid-twenties. It still boggles my mind. Also I love the fact that Jason did American School for the longest time I was embarrassed because that's how I got my high school education I hated it and I knew it was not a true education but I knew I needed something and that was all my parents would allow me. Even at that my dad never missed a minute remind me how much it cost him to pay for the school. Oh the good memories of childhood yes, yes they were very wonderful times😢

@@ronhansen8471 Where is your proof. Fake scholars that publish with "might" and "we believe" isn't proof. Taking a position and searching for anything that helps prove your point no matter how small, is not how anything works in real life. S & G were destroyed by God but he left no evidence for later generations to see (like all the other stories, Noah's Ark, Jericho, Manna, etc.), why hide it from us? Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt in the only place where they occur naturally. Jesus walked on water and raised people from the dead but yet no 3rd party verification of these miracles, wouldn't God want it to be published and seen by as many people as possible? Roman soldiers wrote letters and we still have them yet they never speak of the bible, older civilizations have clay tablets that record trivia but yet they say nothing found in the Bible. Pharaoh and his army were destroyed (and the plagues) and no recorded verification of it much less chariots in the red sea (maybe one or two over the years). Sure maybe the Egyptians didn't want to record it (unlikely) but the surrounding enemies would have, much less take advantage of the situation and recorded it. The Nile farm land is a prize they would have taken or tried to. 2000+ years and God only provides a book of letters we have no knowledge of who wrote them. M, M, L, and John were written 20 years apart, in that order, by unknown authors, and with each release the stories became more fantastic (also no first hand accounts). So it took God 80-100 years and each letter contradicts the others in many instances (so God is not perfect). The corner stone of Christianity is one scripture, John 3:16, why did it take 80-100 years to get this on paper and 400 years to ratify the NT? I was brainwashed and it takes years after you put away thinking in religious terms to accept that religion is just wishful thinking (show me proof someone in the Amazon rain forest could understand). Death doesn't care what we believe and all we have to do to prove our stories is to die - how convenient. The JW Governing Body say they have God's "Holy Spirit" just like all religion and yet none of their so-called holy spirit based predications have ever come true. Jesus's 1914 2nd coming that was spiritual (that we cannot see, again how convenient) has come and gone. We can't see it because it didn't happen at least in 1914. I'm just saying all the people that said Jesus is coming and that we are the generation that will not see death and gone into the grave. The "millions now living that will never die" have been confirmed all are now dead. Like I said Death doesn't care what we believe.

Cults teaches one to see everyone who does not believe what they believe as evil but The Bible teaches to love one another even the one who despises you. To put a child through that is mental and emotional abuse. How can a child process not wanting to be a part of life in school and it makes making friends difficult.

[@vaughnrobinson4042]

I tried at every opportunity to fit in. My father was a pioneer and elder so, of course, a higher standard was expected of me. I acted just like the other kids and never brought up JWs unless cornered. I suffered from constant fear of being caught acting like "wordly" kids. This caused me immense stress that just became normal. I was interested in extra-curriculars but was not permitted to get involved with them. Therefore, I gravitated to things that would naturally be hidden like drinking, drugs, and sex. If I was permitted to join the sports teams I may have been less inclined to get involved in that lifestyle. JW think by not letting their children engage in extra-curriculars that a protecting them from getting "into trouble". Most of the people I knew that were denied being able to engage in "wholesome" extra-curriculars chose to get involved in other activities that were not that "wholesome".

[@carolynwright3026]

I did not grow up a JW. But one theme I see is the rules around so many things with school, and friends is that isolation keeps you ignorant and afraid. JW know that if you start having fun association with the outside. You might want to leave the Organization. They no how to control for sure

The flag salute with harbor. There was a little JW boy in my class in second grade and his mom would come to the school and tell the teacher that he cannot salute the flag and explain why. My mom at the age of seven felt I should be able to stand up and explain it on my own. The problem came in that we lived right across from the school. My dad and mom we're not the best parents and would yell and scream and my dad had the mouth of a drunken sailor, his one day off was Wednesday. There were many Wednesdays when we would have to close the windows even though it was hot because of the swearing you could hear inside the room, the school I went to was old and we didn't have air conditioning. The teacher told me I was lying I was not a Jehovah's witness because of my parents. The JW boy in my class told me that Jehovah was going to kill me because I saluted the flag. I was in a no-win situation. I would try to stand with my arms at the side like the little JW boy and the teacher would come up grab me, slam my hand over my heart with spittle coming out of her mouth screaming at me in front of everyone. Yet she was super kind to the JW boy, who started taunting me telling me I was going to be dead. One day in totally frustration I punched him. I got sent to the principal's office nothing was done to him. I hatted school, I hated the meetings, mostly I hated myself.

Great talking points and I'm gonna be totally honest it was taking me back to my days in school in the 90s early 2000s. So much cringe! I just shake my head thinking about the awkward things I said and did (I was one of those that took the advice to "treat your school as your territory" VERY seriously) I also hated feeling different but the only way to mitigate that was to double down and like you Falon just kind of act like a snob about it....🤦‍♀️ I used to take my Bible to school and even studied with kids in the library 😂. Although.... I did have a cool "worldly" Aunt who is an OG punk and owned a music store. I worked there part time from age 11 to 17 and i loved it! I was surrounded by punk kids who treated me like their little pet project (always discussing what piercing on my face i should get 😂). I loved it and everyone was super fun and cool. It gave me a little outlet and when my mother wasn't looking I would dress punk and listen to bad music! (Queue: Offspring, Green Day, Bad religion, Nofx, Rancid etc.) Everyone knew I was a Jdub and no one cared. I even had boys i went to school with (mostly metal heads oddly enough) talking to my Aunt about wanting to date me. She would tell them "no Tara doesn't date she's gonna turn you down". One guy was like "I'll just become a JW then!" And my Aunt would just laugh at them 😂 Anyway sorry for the tangent! This video brought back sooooo many memories!!

My 5th grade teacher absolutely HATED JW's and treated me horribly, especially in front of the class. She constantly singled me out and humiliated me to the best of her ability. My favorite memory was when I went to a school assembly, it was to teach us the history of how Thanksgiving came to be celebrated. There was no singing, it wasn't a silly or 'fun' thing as much as a history thing (gonna be honest, I don't think it was very accurate 😂) anyways, she was only my teacher in the afternoon, my main teacher was a man named Mr Tuminella and was wonderful! He told me it was fine to go because it was just a history lesson. So I went. I happened to be in the very MIDDLE of the gymnasium. We had to carry our classroom chairs into the gym so we had something to sit on. She comes in about 20 minutes into the program, makes a bunch of kids move, makes me pick up my chair and follow her out, go to the principal's office and call my parents to tell them I was celebrating thanksgiving. Thankfully my parents saw through this woman and asked MY REAL teacher what all happened and he explained I asked what the assembly was about and he recommended I go. My Dad laid into this woman and asked her if she was singling me out because she was prejudice against JW's in front of the principal and she was sooo angry. Her whole plan backfired. She thought my parents would punish me and they backed me up! I was soooo afraid and thought I was going to get in huge trouble. I guess it should have told me something about who my parents really are. It's taken almost 6 years now. But both my parents do not shun us at all anymore and they go to all meetings and are sadly heading to their convention this weekend. But, they are still true to themselves! I have hope for them!
