Tater-T
born in attended meetings till JR High when Mom said Dad is not going to meetings we're not going to meetings.( dad was DF'f for smoking)
Partied like a Rock Star Played like and All Star , hammered like a Porn Star though High school..
Then after High School A void was felt, as all my friends were gone to college.. was reintroduced by cunning JW's looking to reindoctrinate former flock memebers..
Baptised in 84-85 Df'd in 87 .. left after one year of meeting attentance and had turned in reinstatement letter.. when I asked elder on JC if he had gotten it .. he shrugged and looked away and said "meh"
I walked out that door of the KH that day and said I serve Jah not men in an ORG.. and never returned..
so three years... regular pioneered and aux .. two trips to bethel on two week work deals as electrician
edit to note: but I still believed they had the TRUTH till a year or so ago... never researched ..
