continuation from part 2 (which is here: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5769422536966144/short-life-story-part-2).
so im 25, married, and my life seems to have ended when it should be in it's prime.
i have only two non jw friends.
Thanks PE!
Really well written. Thanks for your brutal nonesty.
I agree with LUHE above. I'm sure that the witness life causes stresses that manifest as OCD in many people. Obsessive conduct comes from high anxiety, and the society is a master at producing that!

part 1 in here: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5961287718666240/short-life-story-part-1.
so im 19, i decided to shut up and put all my doubts about god even existing to the back of my mind and just go along with it.
im sure things will be explained eventually, all i need is to humble myself and do more in "the truth" right?.
Thanks Pale!
Really appreciate you sharing your story.
Looking forward to more instalments.
there is a plethora of convention photos on my instagram this morning.
(a lot of my jw friends have forgotten i'm on their followers list) .
smiling faces standing next to convention posters with comments like 'nope, i'm not giving up.
GREAT illustration magnum!!
I wish I could give you two thumbs up likes! (But with an arm cut off, I'm only able to give you one!😉)

in a rare action taken by the senior leadership of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints, a disciplinary council was held for general authority seventy james j. hamula, and he has been excommunicated from the lds church..
I just checked lds.org and there are dozens and dozens of his talks and sermons there!
Just use the search field and put his name in.
He was indeed someone high up!

Perhaps he didn't wear his holy Mormon undergarments....?😉
in the spirit of some great life stories i've read on here i'd like to share mine.
sitting comfortably?

Thanks for sharing mate!
Looking forward to the next instalment!
if i'm tierd i fall asleep anywere so the meetings ect were no diffrent my wife would always try to wake me but im a deep sleeper.
karter .
I think that most of the speakers are asleep when they are at the podium!
the last episode of my story on thisjwlife is out now.
after leaving the cult of jehovah’s witnesses we learned even more eye-opening things about it.
then we applied the same scrutiny to the book that everything we ever believed was based on.
Just listened to it buddy, and I am honoured to say that SO MUCH of what you speak about mirrors aspects of my life!
Your comments and reactions to things. Your viewpoints and observations - well, we could be clones in many ways.
Great work!
more and more i see references to jw.org or bible text with the name jehovah into the status info of social media accounts of family members.. do they identify so much with the organization that they make an ass of themself?.
g..
Haha Chook!
I can just see it now! The next time the CO comes, brothers will be scrambling to prove to him how spiritual they are by showing him their tattoo!
