Maybe I should go back and be a good little dubbie again!!

2. experiences
i believe that i am experiencing a profound change in my personality, and those changes are at a stage where i have honestly contemplated this recently.

honestly.. i don't think i could ever do it - anyone who has followed me on the boards here know that i am neither suicidal nor an apologist for that lot.

yet, having been off work for a few weeks now with surgical recovery, i have had time to make assessment of my future.

Growing up JW
by startingover in
1. jw
2. friends
growing up a jw, i was well aware that a lot of people didn't care for my religion, especially growing up in a strong catholic community in the 60's.

my being a jw wasn't something i advertised, especially in my school days.

but that feeling was always there, that i was someone, who because of my religion, was disliked, even hated.. i sit here thinking what it would have been like to have grown up without those feelings.

1. jw
2. experiences
jwd to me, and for some like me, is my morning coffee.

if its not up, like earlier today, it gets me to thinking, what if this were a permanent thing?

what if jwd were actually shut down like our friend quotes site in 2006?

The quickest, best way to have a Witness open their eyes to being a cult
by free2beme in
1. jw
2. friends
my sister was probably one of the most loyal witnesses out there.

all her responses were pulled right from the watchtower thinking, "sorry you feel that way, but i believe jehovah's witnesses are god's people.

" well in time we came to an agreement, "you do not bring up your negative thoughts on the religion, and i will not try to get you to come back to the religion.
