no no! dont be sorry. It's actually very common and I am happy I had my experiences. I really wouldn't change what I have gone through for any amount of money. And I don't really have any issues. You know how the JW world is, you're not really taught to talk about feelings or issues, and I think with my father being the epitome of that mantra, I have a harder time talking about myself, and would rather just see what others say!

Oh my, where to start. Its really just a run of the mill rebellious child story. baptized at 8, molested, turned to drugs at 12, lost virginity at 13, told my dad at 15, disfellowshipped then moved to rehab when I was 16, then moved to big city to live on the streets, came back to home at 17, reinstated and unhappy at 18! Quick timeline. I just am here to observe really. I dont have much to tell, not anything that anyone else hasn't experienced.

Birthdays, ISOCF
by compound complex inpersons among the witnesses have been disfellowshiped for holding birthday celebrations.
the core of the watch tower argument seems to be based upon the principle of guilt by association - that because only pharaoh and herod are mentioned in scripture as celebrating birthdays, and because these were wicked men, therefore the celebration of a birthday is necessarily wicked also.
[53] this is certainly a forced conclusion.

I was recently re instated into the congregation for family reasons, as I was only 15 at the time of my DF'ing and 17 when I decided to move back home andwalk the walk for my parents. But my 18th birthday was in January, and I went to celebrate at an old friends house and pictures were posted on a certain website and certain people told certain servants of the JW congregation, and now i am up for what my parents like to call.. "Disciplinary Review".

Hard to deal with
by Coheedandcambria inim a young jehovahs witness, baptized at 8 years old, and now i regret the decision.
i miss my sister so bad, shes been disfellowshipped for 3 or 4 years now, and i still talk to her sometimes over email and online, but its not the same as talking in real life.
i get random crying episodes, like last night at meeting.

You guys have helped me so much. Thank you.

Im just turned 16 now.
I dont know if i still want to be one. Im scared, and so lonely. Depression eats at me every day. I have suicidal thoughts, and the only reason why I can think of is that I cant talk to my sister. She was everything to me. And i dont know. I love my brother too. Hes cool. But hes so... like... a typical older brother. Protective over everything, even stupid stuff.

Its hard. She lives in a city maybe... 45 miles away or more. And I just turned 16. Phone calls dont really do anything, and Im too scared to go against my parents. My dad is pretty cool, but he is an elder, and very active in the congregation. He is against me even emailing her. I dont know how I can go and see her.

I get random crying episodes, like last night at meeting. I was sitting with my brother and sister in law and niece and nephew, and I just started bawling, and couldnt stop crying until i got home and went to sleep. It was terrible. I try talking to my parents about it, and I can feel that they are hurt too, but they never offer any solution to it. I just miss my sister. I dont have any really great friends that I can talk to about anything and they'll understand, even though i have some good friends, they either arent mature enough or are too self centered. I dont know what to do.
