I wasn't even my choice...should it count?
by findingmyway ini can't help thinking that if i had never gotten baptized out of loyalty and fear of disappointing my parents (and fear of having my flesh eaten by birds of prey after being destroyed in armageddon), i would not be in this situation.
i have several family members and former friends who were raised as jws, but never got baptized, and they never have to experience the angst and pain that i have to experience.
i was baptized and never dedicated my life.

How about this one: My cousin was never baptised but got put on PR when she was in high school for sleeping with a boy. She had to attend all meetings and try to earn he privaleges back just like as if she were baptised. And whats worse is in that cong. if you are on PR you are treated as a Df'd person.

An elder gets married and has 2 children. Wife gets DFed, they get devorced and Elder gets children. Elder marries my cousin, who doesn't want children but raises them like evil stepmother. Never shows love to children that I ever saw or heard of. Children were never good enough for her. Daughter gets baptised at same DC as me, but is still shunned by wicked stepmother. Daughter moves in with real mother and gets DFed. Son still seeking approval from Father Elder and Wicked Stepmother, to no avail. Moves out to find love elsewhere. Ends up at a party and gets shot in the head. Saddest part of story is Elder chose bitch wife over his own children. If that is the kind of "agape" JW's are talking about, Let me have no part of it. Rest In Peace Chris, and know that you were always good enough and I Love YOU!!!

I left 6 years ago for the way I was treated. I had nothing to do with religion or God up until the past few months. I kinda always suspected,( but wanted to belive) there was something off about the whole thing. Now I am just starting my journey to find out the real truth about the borg and in the process, I hope to find a new belief system. I can say for sure that I will never go into something so blindly again and I will never believe something just because someone of "authority" says its true. As far as healing goes, I think I'm somewhere in the middle of the process. Like many others, careerwise I will be playing catch up for a while. In the next year I plan to start taking some class and eventually become a nurse. I try not to have regrets, as I believe everything happens for a reason and there are always lessons to be learned if you are willing to try.

Describe the WILDEST JW party you ever attended!! no seriously......
by kid-A ini realize this is totally context and culturally dependent, but the old toronto jw youth scene was quite wild during the years 1984-1994. .
one example, a group of about 40 jw kids would go up to a ski resort (usually mount st.louis/moonstone or blue mountain) over the x-mas week-end.
one year we rented out a block of rooms in a resort close to the ski lodge.

I went to a JW get-to-gether that had Elders,MS,Pioneers and teenagers. I was underage at the time but I remember having drinking contests where you put a shot glass of soki on two chop sticks over a glass of beer, count to 3 pound the table so the shot glass drops in the glass and guzzle it down. I actually one the contest between a few MS, and elders. The adults were inside getting smashed and the teenagers were in the yard getting stoned. It was a great time.

JWs picking and choosing which rules to follow
by kristyann indoes anyone else find that many, many jehovah's witnesses pick and choose which rules they want to follow?
my boyfriend's parents are jws and i have many, many examples to share with you!
i'd love to hear if any of you have known of similar type things, or if you know any other rules that jws commonly break.

Sounds very familiar. I have family that pick and choose what rules to follow as well. Grandma-has a wordly man friend that comes over unchaparoned almost everyday. her and my aunt are veryinvolved in their little towns politics. They have a "I love you" party which is basically Christmas. I could go on but I won't.

I am not alone!!!!!
by Krisiva10 init took me a bit of reading through some posts to realize that this site is exactly what i have been looking for, for such a long time!!
people to share my blown away realization i experienced after i quit going to the meetings and went against my mother!
it feels great to see people who have gone through and felt the same as i and who have taken the steps to change their life.
