i am currently 18 years of age, although i am not the ''ideal'' christain boy, i have strong faith in jehova.

think of all the time and energy you wasted sitting in meetings, going door to door and refraining from making friends and having enjoyable association with non dubs.
think about how much of your finite life is lost to you because you were a witness.
think about how foolish you looked, hanging on to the false teachings and empty hopes for the future.
I second what Puternut said
as most of you know, cc and i moved here, two hours away from my home town so we wouldn't have to run into j.w.
family.
i've been walking in the neighborhood, been trying to lose weight.
I am sorry you had such a bad experience.
But like the others said: keep showing LOVE...be the good person that you are and that will rise up from the rest of her or anybody elses conclusions.
I don't think we can ever move away from people involved in the WTBS...Remember at one time we felt like them, even acted just like them, they have been indoctrinated!
Just show true love, that will make them think!!!
Hugs,

now we know what the problem is...
scroll down...
jehovah's witnesses"faith of our fathers: part one, were the early christians jehovah's witnesses?
I have heard that before too...I know of several congregations where at least 1/2 or more of the congregation were on meds...
If it were such a "spiritual paradise" there would be no reason for the meds!

I want to "thank" all of you for your get well wishes, flowers (valis) and gift baskets (Sassy)...hugs from several of you too!
I was disappointed that NO family members called me .
So all of your responses really meant a lot to me: thank you all so much!!!

he decided to come out of the closet.
in reality, he's a crossdresser.
and a peeping tom.
Welcome NoDenial!
I must say your "coming out" sure has taken a long time....geez...especially since you were the one that actually started the whole reason "why I came to this board a year ago"..
Puter: thanks for starting this new thread. I agree with you...and thank you for your sympathy!!! Please come and visit us soon: I need some support, can you say a prayer and throw some "holy water" when you are at our house so he will straighten up???? PLEEEEEEEASSSSSSE!!!
I love you,
