Great, but not so great story Cathy! Welcome and thanks for sharing.

Sincerely,

District Overbeer

Golly Gee Whiz...I just stepped away to use the "powder room" and when I got back (well; actually I did some laundry, tended to my dying garden and slugged down two pieces of questionable pizza I found in the back of the fridge)...low and behold...so many postings! Probably quite a few of you have stories much worse than ours...I may have even read them here...but so much in common. Now I'm gonna pretend I'm at the X-JW Academy Awards show (though I really prefer the MTV awards exceptin' for some of the X rated stuff...yes...I still do have some moral integrity contrary to popular opinion, mostly JW).

I would like to thank the following people for their kind words of support.

Yizuman, Euphemism, Lady Lee, SixofNine, little witch, happyout, stillajwexelder, drwtsn32, Swan, Waiting, Gopher, garybuss (you sly fox you...I am just finishing up "Armageddon Okies" and am pretty sore from falling off my couch after fits of laughing...you ARE the one and same who wrote those crazy wonderful letters aren't you?), candlestick02 (wow...you poor baby...I extend my deepest sympathy to you for the persecution you underwent as a result of your elders and what they have been taught by the Depends Club in NY!), Gamaliel, jgnat, gambit, onacruse & dmouse. So many familiar names; I admire you all. It's lonely coming out when you're by yourselves...but I don't feel so alone anymore.(tears of joy) (have to quit now...the band in the pit is drowning me out and I gotta leave the stage.) Cathy L.

Hi Cathy,

Thx for sharing your story. I'm glad to hear that your health is improving. It must be the demons making you better now that Satan the debil 'has you'. ;P

I wish I could come out as well. Some day.

Winston.

Hey, HE, did you check your PMs. Every time we hear someone's experience and it echoes our own, we know it isn't just us. We aren't imagining it.

Double Edge

Yup, HadEnuf....the borganization is busy every day, huggin' 'em in tha front door an' slappin' 'em out tha back door....that's their M.O......in my book, they're snake oil salesmen.....an' I've had a lot of fun "beltin'" 'em...

HadEnuf and Candle: Thunder and I lived through this bullcrap, I was an unbeliver who did more service than the pioneers, I studied three times a week etc. They were just so rude but I held my ground and I was so honest hearted had a chaste relationshop etc. Well I got Thunder and we are GOOOOOOOONe so maybe it was a good thing they treated us like crap go figure after the wedding they all attended

Candle if your still single look him up now

SheilaM: Fast foward in the story to a few years later when I was a good JW again. I was practicing, following, trying to 'learn' from what had happened. I still hadn't gotten it yet. Then I met someone ELSE. Hmm.. a repeat of the last story, except this time I became firm and vowed that I wouldn't lose out on happiness again. I had to go through hell and high water, but eventually this time I made it through. With someone else who loved me and just wanted me to be happy and who DIDN'T leave me to go through that hell alone. Now we're married!! x a million! (tears of happiness)

Found out years later -- after I had met my now-husband -- that the first boyfriend had gotten married.. AND divorced. He came 'looking for me' then, by it was too late...I had met someone else that I now loved and couldn't leave. That was sad. But, we make our decisions and live with them. I had moved on. He'll always have a piece of my heart though. He was a great guy and I wish him nothing but happiness.

Welcome Had Enuf

Your story left me shaking my head, not in disbelief, but in utter contempt of the shabby unchristian way you and your family have been treated. If I hadn't been through similar situations myself, and heard so many others echo stories that are a variation on the same theme, it would be hard to imagine anyone - let alone a group of people who claim to be God's Chosen People™ - being so cruel and abusive.

I'm glad you're here.

Love, Scully

Swan

Touching story, Candlestick02 . I am glad you are happy now. I hope your old boyfriend can be too.
