I have seen so many stories here that invoke guilt and shame on innocents, What one important momyumental thing would you have changed if you had it to do over?
Mine would be not getting baptized.
If you had to change one thing you did while being a JW, what would it be?

That is the thought that came to mind when I saw the topic. I was baptized at 15 -- I barely even knew how to wipe my a** -- let alone make a life long decision.

I was about eight my mum had been *really* upset by some of the holier-than-thou *idiots* at our bookstudy. When we got home she said to us "I want to leave."
Being abrainwashed and terrifiedfaithful JW kid I burst into tears and begged her to change her mind so we wouldn't die at Armageddon - I think that was part of the reason she didn't leave - us putting guilt on her like that.
If I could have had that day again I would've a) had a hissyfit at the idiots at the bookstudy instead of just standing there crying, b) told her I refused to ever go back too.
