That our "message" was really that "our god is better
than your God and therefore we are better than you".
No wonder we are hated so much.

What Did You HATE Most About Being a Jehovah's Witness?

Being uprooted from a comfortable life at age 10 to go serve where the need is greater. A cong of about 6 old people. I spent 4 years without a solitary friend my age. Having EVERYBODY in a town pop 4600 know you are the Jovahs was a real killer. When we moved back home, I'd been forgotten. Could not wait to get out

Being a child growing up as a witness sucked; missing out on many good times and memories that other kids will be able to always look back fondly.
I look back, and instead of Santa, I think of going door to door Christmas day. Instead of participating in 10 minute birthday parties for those in elementary school, I had to leave the classroom, and try to explain to other kids why I wasn't there. Not that I had a defense, really.
Much of my childhood was stolen because of all the time spent doing WTS related activities.
That one reason I am determined to make sure my kids never have to go through that.

Going out in service on holidays sucked too. I HATED going from house-to-house on Christmas, Thanksgiving and especially, New Years Day. (many irate hungover people)
