there was a recent thread about the oct 8th awake, on education for teen mothers.

i was just thinking about how so many were so caught up in the dubs for so many years, and at the time we probably would have all felt that the truth and spreading the good news was our passion.

so what is your passion now?

what makes you tick and excites your senses and captivates you?

i was going through my things the other day and i came across a journal i used to keep at quite a young age.

the mentality there is just scary.

i was quite the budding writer with my big words but can you see all the canned thoughts and phrases lifted from the dubs and dropped into my grammar and writing style.

i was raised a j.w.

for 20+ years and slid out of the back door in 1998(no-one noticed me slide) and when i went out into the big bad world i found i was completely naive and clueless as i had lived in a tiny shell all my life, for example i had never met a gay person and i believed every non member was evil and out to get me.. has anyone any similar experiences?how did you get the past out of your mind and move on?

do you still feel disadvantaged or do you think you benefited in any way?.
