I WAS A JW AND I D/A MYSELF.

I HAVE SINCED MARRIED AND HAD TWO WONDERFUL KIDS, MY PARENTS ARE STILL JWS, AND HARDLY EVER SEE MY KIDS. I DO NOT REGRET D/A MYSELF,MY PARENTS ARE THE ONES MISSING OUT ON THEIR GRANDKIDS,

I WAS ACCUSED OF DOING SOMETHING AND THE BROTHERS ACTED LIKE THEY DID NOT BELIEVE ME, I TOLD THEM THAT THE ONLY ONES WHO MATTERED,WAS ME THE OTHER PERSON AND GOD. AND TOLD THEM THAT I WAS NOT GOING BACK HAVING EVERYONE THERE THINK THAT ABOUT ME,AND LOOK DOWN ON ME,

WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON THE ABUSE THAT GOES ON, I WAS ABUSED SO WAS MY 4 BROTHERS. EVERYONE IN THE CONGREGATION KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON , AND NO ONE DID ANYTHING ABOUT.THEN WHEN I MOVED OUT ON MY OWN MY BROTHERS COMPLAINED ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON, THE BROTHERS SAID IT WAS JUST KIDS MAD AT THE PARENTS,I AM ONE OF FIVE KIDS.THEY ONLY HAVE ONE CHILD LEFT IN THE TRUTH.

ANYONE WANTNA TALK ,PLZ GET BACK WITH ME.

Hey TT

I feel bitter too, about things that were happening at the hall (or halls) I had been to. Been a JW all my life, and it seems that things get way out of kilter and nobody (a) either notices it or (b) wants to do anything about it, all the while saying, don't worry about it, Jehovah will take care of it. I, personally do believe that Jehovah notices all things, but he also made us free moral agents with the ability remedy things on our own. The problem is,...if you attempt to remedy anything, you're considered "moving ahead" without Jehovahs direction.

Welcome to the forum.. For what it's worth, as the one of seven boys, I was beaten to the point of hardly being able to walk when our father was turned loose on us. OUr mother was equally violent given to hitiing us with anything she could get her hands on. I was the only one to confront the violence at age 14 and backed down my father who thought he would beat me for skipping out on the Sunday Watchtower study and public meeting. Two days later I left home permanently and was eventually DF'd for "disobedience to my parents". I'm sure the congregation servant got the "whole story"

Until I left the Witnesses, I beleived that corporal punishment was thee Christian way of life and "of God"! What a load of crap!

I hope you stay around and share more with us. It sounds like you've done well with your life.

Welcome. I am wondering, does your husband understand your history, the weirdness of the JW life? Does he ever comment on your parent's shunning?
