In school, I was always in constant fear that some activity was going to be done where I would have to speak up and say that I could not participate; like the flag salute, a holiday or birthday celebration. It was embarrassing and very humiliating to me, to be the only kid "not allowed" and to have to explain why.
I can actually relate to that. When I was apart of the witnesses I was only in it until I was 5, but when I went to school I was never aloud to stand up during the national anthem... I was never aloud to clour picture of santa, the easter bunny, etc, ect!
After my father got baptised, I would make a fathers day card but I could never give it to him, so I gave it to my grampy.
Anyways... It's a sad story and it is long lol but its alright, It was interesting enough to keep me occupied Thanx for sharing!
