all of us have been tit-sucking jehovahs witnesses at one point in our lives, and we have been deceptively forced to give up our very own individuality to become one group united under, supposedly, god's only earthly organization.
just maybe, maybe throughout your much hated dull life, as a brainless witness, you weren't allowed to experience the necessities of life, such as satan's blaring rock and roll that you oh so always wanted to listen to, dressing up in those flaming hot name brand clothes lines, being part of a sports team, knowing what true bonding friendship and competition really meant, or chosing those friends you know would never turn you in for having that nightly drink at the club.
now that we know the real truth, and the damage has been done, what have you done to repair it?
Wow! there's some cynical people on here! You keep on believing in Love!!! All forms of it... One thing I do believe and always will...Love conquers all!! (eventually)
As for who I am now???? Still becoming... but as for the rock music thing! Well its taken me a long time but at 50 I am an 'old rock chick'!!!!
met up with any of the others on here, or have found others on here that you knew as a jw?

hi everyone, i'm new here......basically, i found this website a couple of weeks ago when i was in dire need of some like-minded souls who had felt screwed up about the jw's.
from about the age of four/five, my parents and i were involved in the organisation, and all three of us are stil messed up because of it.....we are no longer involved in it, but it took quite a few years before my parents found the strength to leave.
to begin with, i was quite a zealous jw, was baptised at twelve and disfellowshipped at fourteen, because as i got older i began to grow ''weak in the truth'' as people so kindly described me!
Welcome to this site.. I know it will help you and hopefully your parents as well. Look forward to maybe your mum posting on here too.
well me and my b.f met a year ago through mutual friends at a rock concert in london...we clicked instantly and i was very attracted to him as id never met someone so nice who i got on with that well i liked at the same time.
an over the next few months saw each other a few times but only as friends as we lived on opposite ends of the country....we stayed in touch via text.
then the texts gradually faded out.
Its a case of not always being able to back their actions up with scriptures! I was JW for 22 years, I brought up 4 children to believe 'the truf'!!! The eldest ones, like me, walked away from it. However this wasn't before they had relationships and got real messed up over them! When you are a JW you are not allowed to have unchaperoned contact with anyone of the opposite sex, so many marry young to get free of this... BIG MISTAKE!!! This guy, in time, may realise how oppressive the life is, but it could take quite a while, and you don't want to be hurt along the way!
your husband ,wife ,boyfriend or girlfriend, things that you know really annoy them so you keep doing it to see their reaction?.
heres mine ,and you can never tell ,shhhhh.
i will go ouside and cut a plant ,maybe trim it ,at first i really did forget to clean up my plant mess but oh oh , i got a reaction so now i leave them for him to see and watch him blow,,,,,,,,,,lol .
Have to confess don't know how to annoy my man!!! He is so un annoyable, but a really annoying little sh**e! Before we met he used to tell me how wonderful, gorgeous, sexy, better than slice breed! (he's a scot by the way) he is! but didn't once tell me how annoying he can be. He loves to torment me, we can be sitting watching the tv and he starts poking my ear, nose... etc, or tickling me! or he will deliberately mis hear what I say and twist it round. I try so hard to do the same to him but never seem to win!! Any tips would be very greatly received!!!
mine would definitely have to be coming home from school and smelling hot pecan cookies that mom was just taking out of the oven.
Oh decisions, decisions, would it be the time my bro had to drag her drunk out of a ditch... or the time she rang me, yet again, drunk, to say she had taken yet another overdose!! No definitely the time she visited me after I had my baby daughter, yep! drunk again, she knocked her cord and made her bleed!! Oh the memories... would rather forget!!!
.

Yes I was proud to be a Jehovah's Witness. I felt I had a direction in life, I felt there was a hope for this world that I could share. Maybe it was disillusionment... but what has replaced it???
ive been here for sometime now.
long enough to know that some peoples hatred toward th wtbts and some of its members are based on wrong information.
for instance: ive read on hear many times that the wt promotes the idea that everyone whos not a witness are not friend material or will be destroyed at armageddon.
Too true Daystar, and I still cannot make out why defd comes on this site as he claims to be such a 'faithful witness', somewhere along the line he hasn't taken note of 'bad association spoils useful habits' because he keeps appearing on here!!! I have asked him and he doesn't answer. Do you think he counts his 'time' by coming on this site??? He certainly doesn't come on here with an open mind!!
