I am a 34 year old female that grew up being dragged to JW meetings. I learned enough of their point of view that it has haunted my life until now. I grew up thinking the birds were going to peck out my eyes and the eyes of my children if I wasn't perfect. Deep down in the pit of my stomach I always had a feeling that a loving God would teach the things that JW's teach, but was pounded enough through the years with there nonsence to be afraid to get out, UNTIL NOW. THANK YOU GOD FOR DELIVERING MY OUT OF THIS HELL ON EARTH. My mother has disowned me and my dad has been disfellowshiped for about 30 years. So for 30 years he has lived his life thinking that he is going to die because God doesn't love him anymore. Does this sound right to any one? It sure doesn't sound right to me. I am currenly trying to convince him that God does love him very much.
