  Stupid things you thought as a JW

  by JWdaughter in

  ok growing up jw, i was clueless about how 'the world' worked.

  i had some weird ideas that took a long time to dispell.

  one that i got fairly quickly, and embarassingly was when at school, after easter vacation (still was that, then!

  my mother would never buy proctor-gamble products because it had a logo of the moon and stars.

  I forgot all about that. I think since I've left, my imagination has shrunk a little.

  That my children would never grow up in this system, or ever be a teenager. (oldest one left for college last month)

  That I was never worthy. That I didn't have the "right heart attitude" and my children would all die in armagedon.

  All of my friends from school would die. If I was a better dub, I would get them to the kh, and save their life.

  Afraid of what was on the radio in my car. What if I was listening to a wrong song, the big A came, and god would kill me.

  Thinking too much about death, and who would make it, and who wouldn't.

  I thought I was alone

  2. experiences

  i just could not believe it when i stumbled across this forum recently.

  i was actually doing research for my dad who wanted to see the world's viewpoint of the failed 1975 prophecy.

  he came into the truth less than three years ago and though my mom has been a witness since she was a teenager she never spoke of that particular time period to him.

  by Dogpatch in

  http://www.osce.org/odihr/16533.html.

  so, you say that jehovah's witnesses aren't "political" or take any part in the affairs of the world?

  http://www.osce.org/documents/odihr/2006/10/21654_en.pdf what does the watchtower say about "political" involvement?

  I knew this is the one place that would so understand how freeing this is for, not only me, but all of us here. My first born has left for school. He's going to UTI in North Carolina. I am letting him get a "higher education". Yes, I fought with my mom over this, but this is my decision. I am proud that he was able to go at age 17. (he turned 17 two weeks before he left) I feel that doing the paper work, and running around because I needed this or that, was a very liberating feeling for me.

  I know that the folks who live around us, really have no idea about what a big deal this is. He is the first one ever in our family to get more than a high school diploma. I am proud of him, happy for him. So I came here, wanting to celebrate with those who know that this isn't just him going away to school. It's living in the here and now, which we used to not do. Not waiting for some day to come, and save us from our poor planning. It is seizing the day, making our lives better, it is living our life the way we want.

  I just wanted to share. I feel giddy for him, and for me.
