19We're not Suitable!
by Gill inmy husband and myself used to be witnesses, but not for quite a long while now.
every last member of both our families are witnesses so i guess we're the proverbial black sheep, but we haven't been disfellowshiped or have me disassociated, just drifted quietly away.. my husbands grandfather, who is ninety-seven now, suffered a stroke a year ago.
he spent several months in hospital.

Wizard of Oz, will watch it every time. Like last night and it's on again now.
Fried Green Tomatos. altho it was out for years before I watched it the first time I really can watch it again
The only one I can't watch anymore that we watched over and over "Free Willy" I was so glad when my fifteen year old decided that whale just got captive to many times to watch him freed again.

Another sad, horrific story of parents gone too far out there... And why fire? I know to cover up the scene....but again why?
A couple years back a man in the area burned the family home. With his wife there baby, and her two older children. Made it seem like an accident caused by a wood stove. The fire marshall was suspicious. And in a random on-line conversation with a case worker that he knew up in Missouri the story sounded familiar to her. When they exchanged info the name of the dad was similar to one that had committed the same crime in her area. Turned out he was the same man. He had gotten away with the first crime on a technicality issue. He didn't get away with this one.

Ahh Xena, I learned to drive in a ' 65 mustang. My ex had it when we got married. it was a white hard top. Very sweet car and I imagine someone in his family still has it, they sold it around several times.

Raised in the Truth vs. New Converts
by prophecor inwhile viewing many of your experiences here, its strange to hear the problems that have resulted from many of you being in " the truth ".
i'm speaking with regard to those who've been in most of their lives and have never really known much else.
when i finally came in i had spent a majority of my life, doing the things of the world.

I can now see the terrible emotional aftermath of those of you who joined as adults - where you exercised your own free will. To have your whole belief system destroyed must have been devastating and discovering that you had been subjected to what amounts to a spiritual scam. FF wrote
I had not exactly thought to say those exact words but you are so right.
For me it was and has been a grieving process. I have talked many times on the subject privately with individuals but rarely in public. Thanks for the words.

In my instance, I learned the 'truth' as a young adult. my two oldest kids studied along with me over a series of JWs and years, My oldest was baptized the day I was. My husband eventually studied. he and our daughter were baptized at the same time. our youngest was the one born 'in the truth' he is also the one with the strongest opinion 'against' the wts. he's almost 16 and he can't believe 'we/I' "ever fell for the stuff". and we raised him as folks that were strong in the 'truth'. so go figure how he came so smart.
Then I have friends in California, the mom is third generation jw and her boys were wasting away in the wts. she says and I agree they the family and boys are thriving now that they have left the borg.
