  Obituaries...

  .

  here's a nice little side benefit of being raised a jw then leaving; having to search the obituaries of the local paper once a month hoping that your dad's name does not turn up.

  it's doubtful that any of my "family" would even let me know, so, i know it's morbid, but i look in the local paper each month and hope that i don't see his name.... j

  I'm sorry. That's just sad and makes me sick. Treatment like that can never be justified.

  Being a JW mother, I really don't understand how these women do it.

  by Dragonlady76 in

  2. experiences

  while reading through some threads, i sometimes wonder what my life would have been like if i had stayed a jw and had kids.

  i now have a 23 month old son, that's very active, i can not begin to imagine what torture it would be for both of us to attend meetings or go out in field service.

  i would be expected to keep him still the whole time without toys, snacks, books or any sort of distraction at all, except maybe the my book of bible stories.

  	When I decided to leave I remember telling my mom that "this religion only works for people who have both the husband and wife in same belief and that it doesn't work for people like us."

  I grew to feel the same way.

  I doubt many even had time to eat before the meeting.

  We didn't. Can't count how many times my kids were hungry on top of everything else.

  I hated not being able to let my babies be babies. I was encouraged to take them to the bathroom or hallway and spank them because they didn't want to act like statues. Makes me feel like crap when I think about it. No one tells me how to raise my own kids, but I listened to them during that time. I always felt like I could never do enough to serve them. I've always worked full time and as we know, being a parent is a full time job on top of that.

  Not to mention the snotty attitudes from high and mighty bitches who implied that I should have my kids completely under control with no problems during the meeting ("train them!"). And if I didn't, I felt the auora of, "well, we're waiting for the new system to have children" was lingering most of the time.

  I would cry trying to rush out and be on time, cry at the kh because they wouldn't behave be statues, and finally, once I got home, I was a hysterical mess in bed for the rest of the afternoon. After all, I wasn't baptized, so we were doomed since Armegeddon could happen any second.

  I know one thing....a huge weight was lifted after I stopped attending the kh.
