Hello people, :)!

Ahh I suppose after posting a bit its time to say hello.

Hello people, all of you :).

Who am I, well I'm the middle child of my parents, who are ex jw's, so I'm not sure if that makes me one since they stopped attending jw occasions when I was 11, but having experienced being part of it, and having not enjoyed it I can say I class myself as an ex-jw.

I guess the real reason I found the whole being part of the jw's traumatic and unpleasant was that I happened to get really badly bullied at school. The main reason I was bullied, I was a jw, I was not allowed birthdays and Christmas. Its astonishing how unpleasant children can be towards others if they see them as different.

I know I always felt I was the outsider, even after my parents left the jw's, because I was still bullied with regards to the whole jw thing, the children at school just didn't want to let it drop. I suppose that children just happen to like picking on those they see as weaker than themselves, as different to themselves.

Lucky for me really when I left school to attend college, I got away from being referred to as a jw, I got away from the fact I was associated with it, and actually made friends with people who didn't care about me being an ex-jw.

I know that what I experienced is not very much, but then I was only 11 when I left. I suppose that sort of sums up who I am and how I'm connected with jw's. So really thats me.

Faery :D

Hi Faery

Sorry your experiences of being JW were so terrible. My background is the opposite as my family life got normal after we accepted the truth. Good to hear you now have a happy life with good friends :)

Littledreamfaery, welcome to JWD.

Imagine being a JW and the one white student in an all black school. Does anyone remember going out in to the school yard for the pledge of allegiance? Wasn't that fun? I should document that three years of my life; but, not today.

Welcome LDF,

You are lucky you got out with your family in tact! I was raised in the JW and left when I turned 18, I never got bullied for being JW, because I always told classmates that my parents were but I wasn't. Even in Kindergarten I didn't claim being JW, even saluted the flag.

I'm happy for you that you now have a life free of the JW cult!
