Sometimes people are just miserable, misery loves company, don't let it get you down. At least you can speak another language, you should be proud!

Is There Anything Positive About Being A Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus ini recently went to a wedding and the father of the bride that (re)married a (worldly) man said to me, "the only thing that i can say about raising our kids as witnesses was at least they got a good foundation.
look at our kids.
they're good kids".

SHUNNING: How did you feel after your 1st?
by jambon1 inthe practice of shunning really is, unreservedly, my main problem with the religion.
i have come to this conclusion after many months out of the org.
there are, of course many, many other things that just pi$$ me off about the religion but this just gets to me, each and every day i live.. and yet, i have never experienced shunning in the manner in which is well documented here.

I left almost 15 years ago, just 18. I was an only child, and I had to be strong and leave. There was a period before I was announced at the hall that I was DFd, that I would get 20-25 calls a day when I retuned home from work, my friends, my parents wanting me to reconsider my decision. It was a shock to the congregation because I was the good little witness. But, once I was DFd. No calls anymore. It hurt alot but I expected it. The shunning thing pains me too, but as time went on, I felt alot better about it. I am sure I hurt my parents when I left but they hurt me too. My dad and I have not seen eachother in 15 years and has never met his 9 amd 7 year old grandchildren. My mom and I did not see each other for 8 years until she came to her senses and left the org too, she was DFd also. But, those early years (right out of the org) were extremely tough. I year after I left, I received an opportunity to move to Colorado, and that was great, I started my life over. It was refreshing. I eventually moved back to Illinois, for my daughter so she could know her family. I can only say that TIME healed most.

Do you consider yourself a spiritual person?

if so how?

No I do not consider that I am a spiritual person. I really do not know if this is good or bad thing, but I feel I do not have to have all my questions answered. I think about spirituality, or being spiritual, then it reminds me of being a Jehovahs Witness. Then I think about something else...

I also say, "WORK IT", and have a blast. Start looking for a dress now and have fun with it. What I do at my husbands Xmas party every year, Ive been going to his for 6 years now (except this year I am pregnant), I always balance glasses of wine and bottles of beer on my head (seriously), to make a memory. Every year everyone knows me as the girl who can balance stuff on her head, I think its nice to be remembered this way. I am sure it will be a bummer this year, people will assume I won't do it because I will only be drinking water, little do they know!!! Its truly one of my hidden talents...lol.
