Do you think JW's grow and mature as they age?
by megsmomma ini ask because my ex, who is still a jw and my 9 year old's dad (hence the still knowing him part) hardley seems to change at all over the years.
i do know he is now an elder....and he doesn't have time for much fun.
(they are usually broke and busy with meetings, ect.

Some JW parents don't deserve to be parents!!!
by Es inat least mine don't anyway.. ive been thinking of there behaviour towards me for the last few weeks, and im just so over them being my parents.
when mike and i went to the hosp on wed night after my nan had passed away, i tried to comfort my mum, she hardly wanted me to touch her.
i didnt even look at my dad for the first half n hour we were there.

I am so sorry Es. I wish they would be normal parents for you. It really is heartbreaking to endure.

That is interesting, white dove...I think you are right about them digressing.
And REBORNAGAIN...I bet they were beaten if they moved. I had friends in a hall who's parents made them sit that still....and if they didn't....hell to pay.

Does being a JW stunt you?

The fade is over, talked to my parents last night. (very very long)
by Paralipomenon inthere would never be a good time to have this conversation.
quite different from most people raised a witness, i have very few horror stories about my upbringing.
my family was just a family, my mom and dad fought and argued, my siblings and i misbehaved and got in trouble.. .

" I always thought I would be able to walk away from my family if they were prepared to shun me, but when there I found myself making compromises so we could stay a family. "
When THEY shun YOU.....you don't have a choice but to walk away...or keep getting burned. I think the compromises you make to stay close are very smart to do.....as long as it doesn't hurt you or your immediate family.

((((((((((((((((Para and Bobbi))))))))))))))))))))))))
That was a bit emotionally exhausting to read, let alone be there. I wonder what was meant by saying "we're proud of you" Was it in that you are too smart to get DF'd or DA yourselves....or proud that you are making your mind up based on facts and knowledge? Do you know what they meant Para?
I feel so bad for them......It must FEEL so wrong to have to say and do certain things that just go way beyond your natural human reactions. No wonder your mom just had to keep saying DAMN.
