Meg:
Just read your bio....My heart aches for all the pain you have been thru.
I was from Michigan, I now live in the Pacific Northwest. I was also raised in the "truth" myself...I have seen a lot of hypocrisy as well. I can't reveal who I am or my family will have nothing to do with me. You are among friends here.
Hugs,

I just read your profile:
I was baptized in December of 1993, when I was just 10 years old. I have been raised in the "truth" my whole life. It wasn't until I got engaged to my boyfriend of 3 years, a fellow witness that I began to notice all of the hypocrisy in the orginization. Even though my fiance and I had both been raised in the "truth" our whole lives, we were given nothing but grief about wanting to get married. Apparently neither one of us had enough hours in a month or had strong enough meeting attendence to allow us to get married in the kingdom hall or for that matter to have other witnesses even attend our wedding. We were completely shunned. Since this time almost 3 years ago, I have refused to go back. I am now in the process of getting a divorce which of course just shunns me all the more. I am working on starting my life over which I find very hard coming from this background. And it really is starting your life over when every single friend and family member you have ever known is now shunning you.You are in the right place. Welcome!
