    I don't think it was so much what did I miss because "I" was a Jehovah's Witness . . . as what did I miss because my "parents" were Jehovah's Witnesses. Ignorant, superstitious parents, poverty, and Jehovah's Witnesses did not make a good mix for my life. I missed some basics like going to bed with a full belly.

    I think a lot of Witnesses engaged in sex, especially the teenagers. Sex aka immorality was the #1 reason elders have judicial meetings.
