I hate the fact that they couldn't talk about anything else than religion. They were always 100% DUB, 24 hrs a day.
Religion is only a small aspect of life. There are other interest in life after all.

Nothing... I would get up every morning & shine my halo!!!! I would look at my black eyes ( my hubby did) & feel so honered to be used by Jehovah-- to cover over my multitude of sins...Suffered so much when I rang the bells with my RA fingers.( but hey Christ suffered didnt he???/
Ok. So I was a fool. I wasted 25 years...But not really I still have a lot to laugh at.. No Fool like an old fool. THATS ME!!!!!!!
Loved being in Gods Organization -The Ark!!!! With the rest of the animals......So Happy they released me.........Thank you zoo keepers of Bethel------- -

Someone else said it -- going in field service and praying to Jehovah (hee hee) that you didn't run into a schoolmate.
Having my mother look at me whenever there was some righteous kid on the platform during assemblies/conventions like, "Are you listening?"

Being asked to accompany sisters on studies who had roaches and mice in their apartment. Always remembering to bring a head covering when conducting a study in the company of a brother. Feeling the pressure to get my hand up multiple times during the watchtower study.

I honestly cannot think of one thing I actually like about being a JW. Except for maybe getting candy from the lady sitting next to me.
But I would have to say the worst part about it is having this odd blockade between my mum and I. I cannot tell her certain things that I would like to because I would likely get in trouble for saying so. I have to lie and sneak off to friends' birthday parties if I want to have some fun for once. I would much rather tell her all the details rather than weaving lies and improvising.
She and I are going in completely different directions, and I feel bad that she may not be there for me later in life if she continues attending JW meetings after I leave the Borg. Cruddy price to pay for freedom.

Having to explain to a non-JW friend of mine why we would allow anyone to bleed to death without trying to save them with a blood transfusion!

CC, that always was a tough one. People would look at you like you just murdered your firstborn. The sad thing is, the vast majority of JW's would do just that. They would murder their own children because of what the organization says the Bible means........ ....Bloodguilty!!!!
