Sorry to hear about your childhood social life. I hope it's improved. I suffered a similar fate, but it wasn't because of the Witnesses. My mom is a narcicisst. It was drilled in to us from when we were small that we were "different" than other children, "better", because she was a diligent mother who fed us fish oil for our brains.
sounds like my mom. Not the fish oil part. I accually take fish oil myself as an adult, but i understand what you are saying. My mom was the biggest control freak and controlled my whole life, mainly out of guilt. I think that is typical for witnesses but I wouldnt call her 'typical' and I still wouldnt. I could go off on a tryraid, but i wont.
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. This board does move fast.
