Calling on people from school on Saturday mornings.

It doesn't sound like much, but I used to always have to pee during Saturday morning field service. The cargroup didn't want to break off to drive me to a restroom, so I had to wait. A few times, I had to go so desperately on those cold mornings, that I'd beg a householder to let me in to use the bathroom. I was a teenage girl at the door alone, out of view of the cargroup. Can you just imagine what could've happened to me? That was just humiliating! I now realize I had a urinary tract infection, more than likely, but my parents weren't into taking me to a doctor to get checked out. They just thought I was being a pain. It was SO humiliating that I still remember vividly, twenty years later.

Dismembered...ya bastard....I owe you bigtime! Yes they had weed in 76' !!!!

Virgochik...I'm a pee'er too. I've often used householders bathrooms....or I just peed on the side of the shed if they had one and were't home. Hey, I lived in Wickenbug Arizona fer gods sake, they pee on sheds around them part of the country.

Speaking of pee,

I'm aware of one brother that had very little bladder control. It was common and expected that sometime during morning field service he would yell to stop the car,

proceed to jump out and take a 'leak' at the side of the road, in the ditch, or behind a tree if one was available. I would imagine he had some medical condition that he

had not discussed with a Dr. He was so poor financially, I imagine he had never visited a Dr.

I wish I could give more details but that would definitely give me away considering how strange this brother is/was. I wonder about him sometimes, whether or not he's

still attending the 'meetings' He was sincere in his beliefs, but because of his strangeness the congregations that he's attended always treated him as an outcast.

Not my story, but we had a sister with irritable bowel syndrome or IBS------or so she claimed.

Anyway, like the bladder stories, this sis would yell she had to go and we had to drive her all the way home so she could go in her own bathroom!

Convenient for her cause she would come out pale and exhausted and announce she was through with service for the day.

Sorry this post may be kinda long...I discovered changing clothes in high school. Now note, my parents bought these clothes for me but I was not allowed to wear them to school. I had several humiliating experiences. When my parents found out I was changing at school (there was a girl that was studying to be a JW and she wrote a letter to my parents and I did not know this), my mom picked me up. I noticed she was acting different. I got home, my dad tells me to go to my room. I got beat with a paddle. Then my mom starting punching me, I fell, she then started kicking me. When that was done, my mom cut 8 inches off my hair. I was 15. Then they wanted me to tell them that I loved them afterwards.

When I was 17, and graduated early and started regular pioneering. There was an older man interested in me (I too had a crush on him, but he did not know and I did not know he was interested in me). I was young. He called me out of the blue when my parents were on vacation and told me how he felt. We never did anything. He came to my house to talk to my parents while I was at a volleyball party. He wanted to pay for an apartment for me, and make plans to marry me when I turned 18. After their meeting, my parents put the house up for sale. They had a goodbye party for us, everyone knew why we were leaving. At the party, I was dancing, trying to be happy in front of everyone. My dad comes up to me in front of everyone and yells at me for the way I was dancing (I am a goofy happy dancer, tryong to be funny, but I have rythmn), its all on film. I was so embarrased and humiliated especially the goodbye party was for us, and everyone knew why we were leaving the congregation! It was a huge scandal!

Today, I am 32 (same age as that guy was, when I was 17), and I am thankful I never married him but my parents showed no understanding, no emotion. I was so desvastated and hurt how they treated their only child. I was a good kid, just wanted to do normal teenage stuff. That is how I describe my childhood, pure humiliation! Oh well, life has been great for years now, now I can be a part of my childrens stable childhood, thats my reward.

Yes Highlander......you see alot of this treatment in dubland. Every hall seems to have at least one oddball. These oddballs become witnesses because the witnesses show them love and compassion at first.....to get their precious bible study. Once these oddballs are baptised, they are quickly ditched in many cases and live lonely dub lives. Sad.
