I had a Shit childhood! I was punished, violently, for anything that was classed as sinful. Meetings were hell, we were smacked pinched and had our hair pulled if we did as much as breathe too loudly.
My friends were vetted and were forced to listen to mother preach at them. We had to tell our teachers what we stood for. No holidays, birthdays or fun generally.
We had some form of bible study or meeting - EVERYDAY.
When we were very little, we were trained for meetings by sitting still on dining room chairs for two hours. If we moved or talked we would get spanked.
When we got older we had to study the watchtower in our rooms on a Saturdday afternoon. We were tested, if we got answers wrong we had to do it again.
We had to do a minimum of 10 hours field service, offer magazines and keep return visits. If our friends saw us we would be expected to tell them what we were doing, and offer them some literature.
I indoctrinated to fear Jehovah and the Devil. I was scared of everything in case the Devil and his demons got to me.
When I became a teenager my mother would check my sheets to if I was masturbating, and then ask embarrasing question if she thought I was. I was interested in photography and I once bought a photographic magazine and was acccused of buying porn, my mum sent me to confess to the elders, who told me in no uncertain terms that my mum was mad (they were right - she was!).
My mother would would throw out any "worldly music" on a regular basis, we had to listen to the kingdom melodies and the stupid "Drama Tapes".
My mother is psychotic, being a witness gave her a framework where she could abuse us with some degree of justification.
