Yes. But like many of us who were loyal, I thought this was part of the price we paid for having the truth and prospect of God's eternal blessings.

I was embarrassed being a JW while I WAS a JW.

It was painfully embarrassing as a kid. It's embarrassing that I chose to return as an adult. But I now swell with pride for having come out the other side despite it all.

Remember, I got "the troof" myself, LOL! It's three times worse for me... I can't say that I was born into it, LOL!

No I don't feel embarrassed.
I learned a lot about a "world" within itself. I have great understanding about a "group" of people that I never would have before.
It has shaped me to the person I am today.

They look at you like you must have lived under a rock or something..
well yeah.. we kind of did
