    My first 20 years of abuse, indoctrination and torture.

    The next 20 years of confusion, pain and healing.

    Endless possibilities thereafter.

    (no, it's not all about the JWs)

    The story of most of us in 3 words:

    Born. Living. Death.

    -------------------------------

    P.S. I wrote "most"... some babies are born dead.

    Greetings the incredible wise Prins Vaillant ;)

    Born a JW. Still a JW even though I'm finding out it's crap. Trying to take a few people down with me, and trying to ask Chevy on advice to take people down with.

    Raised a JW from early age on by fairly strict parents which kept me fairly naive until I graduated high school.

    Eventually became a MS, married into a strong JW family, was on track to become an elder.

    Started doubting little things, then questioned bigger things, then realized it was all baloney and managed a long, quiet fade.

    I was born rebellious and raised JW, so I had a pretty horrible childhood. I started running away from home when I was 14 and finally walked away at 15, and I've been getting on with life's ups and downs ever since, with a lot of good luck and good help from (Worldly) people along the way. Whenever I'm inclined to piss and moan about things, I just think, however bad this is, it's not as bad as being a JW was! (Had to fiddle with the punctuation to get that down to three sentences. I think I cheated really.)
