My Story

by ~Jen~ in

jw
friends

i was raised a jw by very strict parents who, in my early teen years were physically and then later emotionally abusive all the while with my dad being and elder (and he still is).

i didn't want to be a jw then but my life was all about making my parents happy which started with me being baptized at 13. my parents constantly drilled into my head that most things were "bad" and i was "bad" i constantly did whatever i could to avoid being bad.

i had no life but then met a nice jw boy when i was 17. against my better judgement, i stayed with him and married him when i was 20. i didn't have a lot in common with him but he was really nice and was safe - he was a witness and even though i wanted to be in the world so bad i chose to be with him because he would keep me grounded, in the truth and away from where i really wanted to be because it was the right thing to do.. we were married for 7 years and have 3 sons.. for the past few years i've known that i did not want to be a jw even more and was sick of being fake.

Welcome..

you have done the right thing leaving JW's but it isn't easy coming to terms with the 'new you' all the real choices you have now

as I said to my mother I became an adult at the age of 44 when I left 'the truth' ! it is a weird feeling but a tad scarey at times

be kind to yourself

Two Posers For You

by Farkel in

jw
friends

here are two ethical posers:.

i. would you rather your children grow up to be successful or happy?

explain your answer.. ii.

happehanna

They really are posers........... we normally want the best for our children ................ if my child asked for my advice I would advise them to be happy and honest but I would not judge them and have not. One of my children choose to be successful by whatever means but after building up masses of material wealth (it took ten years) gave it all up to be happy and honest. The other child entered a top university fair and square has played by all the rules but has also rejected success and it's trappings to live a carefree life. Children at the end of the day become adults and they do what they see fit whatever we advise.

glad i decided to watch it.

i was afraid it would turn out to be a circus and i was very pleasantly surprised at how.

dignified and honorable it turned out.. thanks to the jackson family for allowing many to see all the good things michael will be remembered for as well.
