My Story

by TheWanderer in

i found this site quite a few months ago, after a curiosity search on wikipedia about jws and what's going on with the organization.

i was unfortunately born into it, 4th-generation; my great-grandfather was a special pioneer spreading the word in the early 1900s.

it was all i knew growing up, even though i struggled between trying to conform to make everyone happy ... and finding my own way in life.

Welcome to JWN! If you're close to Oklahoma City, I there's a real nice ex-jwguy I can introduce you to on Facebook. Private message me if you like. Just click on my name and proceed from there.

Jamie, sorry to hear that. Just unbelievable, I hate this Religion or cult.

Well, I tend to agree with No More Kool Aid when she said:

It has been much easier to leave them behind and start a new life for my family.

My mother is an unhealthy influence in my life as long as she is a jw. She alowed her jw husband to abuse my brother and me and then stood around like a bobble head when the elders insist that I either remain in an abusive marriage or stalk the guy who was threatening to kill me to se whether he would decide to commit adultery or murder. I don't need or want people like that in my life...even if se's my mom.

Jamiebowers: wow, 24 years. Is it because your mom is A JW

With the exception of three telephone conversations about medical history of her and her family, my mother hasn't spoken to me for 24 years. She was enraged when I called her in the hospital several months back to inquire about her health.
