Following the wrong pair of legs out to the KH parking lot, then not knowing how to get back inside. I was about 3.

Tying my moms belt to a chair while she was giving a talk, and her standing up and taking the chair with her. Laughing my ass off with the rest of the congregation. Getting the most terrible spanking you could ever imagine afterwards for doing it. 6 years old.

Odrade,
I know there is a terrible joke lurking in your comment somewhere!
Thanks,

Feeling like i belonged, but to what I wasn't sure, there were a lot of red flags but I ignored them, what an idiot I was.

I remember not being allowed to celebrate anything, birthdays, christmas, all those great holidays filled with fun and presents were taken from me. I didn't understand and felt cheated, I knew it didn't make sense to me.
It's one thing to be born and raised a JW not having ever expirenced wordly holidays etc, but when your a little kid and your world all of a sudden is swept up from under you, there is no gentle or easy way to understand or transition to a new way of life.

My earliest memory is falling asleep at the meeting and getting woke up as I was jerked out of the chair and taken to the bathroom to be spanked with a pingpong ball paddle. I was 3.
I hated the meetings. I always got spanked for either falling to sleep or wiggling around (probably trying to stay awake).
