1986 Toronto district assembly.. It was very hot ..I had 2 small children and was about 8 months pregnant. My husband and I were already having doubts as to whether we really wanted to raise our children in this life. We had both been born in JW families and knew the life growing up in it.. We stayed until the afternoon of the first day. It was the same droning talks spouting doom and gloom unless you stayed faithful. We looked at each other and said Lets get out of here.. and never went back again.. Best decision we made. And our kids thanked us later for not bringing them up as JWs

I am new to this forum, I have been disassociated for 30 years.. it was the best decision I made.. I suffered from extreme anxiety. and although some JW's were genuine.. there were a lot of not so nice ones.. most likely because they were raised as a JW and felt trapped.. My son thanks me that I chose not to raise him in this cult life and he is free to make his life the way he wants to.. There is nothing good about being involved with an organization like JWs
