I repeat, you have not lived as a JW. You have not raised your child as one, you have not had to sign a virtual death warrant for your child by refusing blood!! You have not had to die as many of us have had to die.
You have not walked as we have walked!!!
Stop trying to justify yourself, it is not necessary.

Not another thread on this fucked up subject please!!!!!!!!!!!!
it is not necessary.
so very true. But then, neither is this. I'm beginning to wonder if we men aren't just truly better human beans. Then I think about Thomas Poole and Hitler and You Know, and I Know better.
Gravedancer,
I suggest that if you do not want to read this "fucked up subject" YOU SHOULD NOT CLICK ON THIS THREAD!!!!
Thereby your sensitivities will not be offended!!!!

I'm offended by all the offended people.
I'm not offended by Naeblis being offended by all the offended people.
IW,
I agree with you.
There are unique aspects to living one's life as a Jehovah's Witness that non-Witnesses will never fully understand.
Does a non-JW understand what it's like to have to tell your best friend that you can't go to her 7th birthday party, and that you can't even give her a birthday card?
Does a non-JW understand what it's like to have to leave the classroom while the other classmates stare at you, because you're not allowed to participate in Christmas activities?
Does a non-JW understand what it's like to have to go to bed at 11.30pm on New Year's Eve, whilst your friends are allowed to party in the street outside? To not even be allowed to watch the midnight fireworks on TV?
Does a non-JW understand what it's like to tramp up to strangers' houses, who aren't interested in what you have to say, in all types of weather, with the threat that if you don't, you will die at Armageddon?
Does a non-JW know what it's like to be the only pioneer in the congregation, meaning s/he has to often go on field service alone, make return visits alone, to get in one's hours, for no recognition other than to be able to put in 90-100 hours for that month?
Does a non-JW know what it's like to live one's life as if it is a temporary arrangement, not expecting "this old system" to last much longer, hence there's no need to save for a deposit for a house, have children, or even look after one's health properly?
Unless Julie or any other never-been-a-JW can give situations that are very similar to those I have described above, then they can never say that they really understand how JWs and ex-JWs think and have lived.
