That was funny... My nother is smart though she tells us all the time she never wants to rely on us for care when she gets old so she is covered by a long term care policy!!! NEVER will be her!!! She is going to make sure that she always a JW!! 4 life!!!

by ScoobySnax ini don't think i've made any apology for my leanings here towards jws, whilst i don't imagine most here will agree with me, i just think its good sometimes to redress the balance on this forum in a small way to let people who might be reading/lurking/ know that.. despite feeling messed up a bit in my own head about which direction i want/have to take in my own life, and despite many struggles as deep and traumatic as many have experienced here, i still hold jws as a group in the highest esteem.
i can remember what it was like to try and do the "right" thing and follow the way of the truth, it was bloody hard, and i fell down many times.
i always used to try and pick myself up dust myself down and start over again, sometimes with success for longer periods than others.

I can't disagree with that at all. I just wish that my family especially my mother would not look so disappointed.

Good Morning,
I found this site I guess about two weeks ago and I have been a gawker until now. I was raised from birth and baptised a JW when I was 16 and like some of you my family immediate and extended are still JW's. I don't know if there is any good in JW's or not I have become so confused about wether these people are brain washed or they are right. I don't know wether they are following the true religion anymore I dont know whether the end of the world is coming and I dont know that if it does come they will be the only ones in the new one. All I know is that my mother really believes what she believes and she raised me and my siblings the way she thought was best. was it? who knows. I know this though she is good. regardless. She gave of her time and effort to make sure that we had a stable foundation and even though I am scarred because of the looks and c riticism from other about choices I made and even though I am confused about what is right and wrong spiritually I know she did what she thought was best and for that I can say she is good. So there is some good in JW's. I am grown now and can make my own decisions about what is right and wrong. I teach my son how I choose to teach him. And like I am sure my mom did on occasion its guess work because for all the love we have for our children we just never know if choices we make for them is right. Would I ever raise my son as a JW? I doubt it. There is no way I will allow him to go through the same thing as I did. I will not allow him to have his actions questioned because whoever is questioning does not agree with them. He will always know that ultimately he awnsers to no man. Did she take that into consideration? No but I think that was because she was first generation. I have the information to make that decision she didn't. I have figured out that I need to do my unbiased research before choosing anything that will effect my sons life the way my life was. Am I confused about a lot of things? Yes. But I know that she is good. Anyways its good to meet people that can maybe understand me. It good to know that I am not the only h eathen out there .
