i left jws 10 yrs ago and have just considered myself drifted.
never df'd.
could never go back as i personally found it too hard to live up to.
i read a lot of psych books about conditioning, being brainwashed, fear, guilt, SPIRITUAL ABUSE, emotional abuse, etc. etc. its a tough realization and hard to admit that this has happened to us sometimes...but neccesary to overcome the feeling of being condemmed ( a convienient emotion for them)
also a bad ass attitude always seemed to help ;)
they didnt kill me- now they better run faster than me *oh snap i said that*
i mean, you could've been made to be an islamic fundamentalist or something, right?
yes..... a cult is a cult is a cult
we have all suffered
what kind of religion rips families apart - JWs are breeding ignorance LITERALLY

Anyway, my kids were all ignored because of their brother. That was extremely hurtful. None of my 4 adult kids are religious now.

AWWW my sweet friends :) Thanks for the welcome!!
the short story is -i was born and raised JW (Kansas City ex JWs you out there??)- rebelled at 15. Most eye opening experiance was when i was 13 (!love that!) my older brother was disfellowshipped and i experianced first hand the hypocrisy and judgemental *&%$ side - i was shunned b/c of my brother - who, at the time, i was angry with. ( YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, in this life and the next bro!!!) but quickly realized the reality and left MAD- never was baptised.
This religion propelled me faster than anything could have onto my OWN spiritual journey at such a young age. To find my OWN Truth- and for that i am ultimately thankfull, humbled, and realized. Right now i mostly feel angry at the identity theft of the Avatar of this passing Age, Jesus. I will never be a christian- i will never limit myself with any religion (why would i need them) for i feel i have learned his true message- the same message of all the great teachers thru the Ages- Compassion.
THANK YOU ALL!!!!
hugz n kisses hehe

http://www.lse.co.uk/showbiznews.asp?code=au44814n&headline=princes_stripper_plea wednesday, 4th october 2006, 13:49. life style extra (uk) - prince pleaded with strippers to keep their clothes on during a recent night out.. .
the 'purple rain' singer, who is a jehovah's witness, is said to have begged the gorgeous girls to cover up while he was partying at top los angeles nightclub xenii.. .
according to reports, prince told the strippers: "it's wrong to dance like that.
prince is the perfect JW- a completely ignorant hypocrite the JWs can have him- he hasnt had the magic in his music for a decade and he KNOWS it
*USED TO BE A FAN- *&%# THAT*
prince made his CAREER out of exploiting "strippers" with talent - and this is how he gives back- laughable-
