Min,
I was none of those. Being of the mindset "bad associations spoil useful habits", I did not try to fit in with the world and unfortunately I did not fit in the congregation either. I had no friends for most of my youth. Because of a rumor that was spread about me, many thought I was weird and tried to avoid me or at best they were civil.
I happened to be thinking along the lines of this topic when I saw your post. Food at the proper time eh?
I was exemplary...anointed sister with all her children in the truth ..family with pioneers, Bethelite, MS husband....ok I fought for the underdogs but was kept under the thumb pretty much by lovely, funny, progressing MS husband who nobody believed was an absolute pig to us all at home....and then came the day when I'd had enough of our 'wonderful image' and couldnt take domestic abuse anymore ....my approval from the elders plummeted rapidly...friends and decent bros and sis were convinced I'd get help and fair treatment ....nooooo...didnt happen....so then they were told I was no longer a JW....suddenly not such an exemplary sister at all...

I was an exemplary & mature elder. Now, I'm a sexy bad boy. Maybe, I should have stayed in the cult.
Think About It
zealous and loyal - yes I am not shitting you
Truthseeker, nothing worse than being in no man's land! Talk about isolation!
I was the dirty, filthy, ex biker convert whose "experience" was related and embellished at many circuit assemblies. Contrary to popular JW belief, I did not carry a sawed off shotgun on my motorcycle nor did I throw dynamite into anyone's home, and I'd really love to meet up with the piece of shit that invented those lies.
I had no friends during the 20 years I was a JW. I now believe that was a good thing.

FF, at least you got a bird. Give the JWs the bird!
