when i was growing up as JW we allways had winter cake, My mum and dad when smoking was ok would allways get at least a thousand fags from taylor woodrow they worked for and bottles of spirits , we allways had turkey because i was told its cheaper to buy at christmas,allways except the christmas greetings from folk.
My first girl friend who was a JW was black ,i was encouraged not to go out with her, .
big joke at assemblys among some teenage JWs ,who did you deflower last night, and what a skin fall we had.
In my twentys as a JW , 2 of my friends who were seeing each other had sex for 6 months they got a public reprove .
My stepdaugter had a baby out of wedlock , her grandfather whos a elder JW got the commitee hearing moved to another congregation , she got a reprove.they thought she was so sorry after only come to 3 meetings. after 2 weeks of the hearing she was never back at the meetings.the real reason for the grandfathers working ,they didnt want to lose a grand daughter,and now would visit them on a regular basis with her bastard child this was all ok .
And now me, when my Ex wife put me out of my home who was as me baptized JWs , there was no infedelity. I was homeless and had to go into a dirty B+B ,Had a nervous breakdown , lost my job, my home, she took all my personal things i just had a suit case , so i started a 6 week bing of alchol to kill my self drinking a bottle of vodka and 4 extra strong largers each day ,6 weeks later im in dumfries criton mental hospital they are boiling my clothes im on constant watch for suicide, i could not walk for three days, the only person who came to see me was my mother, My wife never visited me, and also the elders of dalbeattie kingdom hall, there reason as new elders had moved in at that time to dalbeattie we did not know you stephen, I had to ask a catholic vicar to read some scriptures to me,.
I came out of hospitial 2 weeks later back to the B+B, still recovering from my break down , 2 weeks later i was asked to come to the kingdom hall for a chat , that night i was dissfellowshiped for getting drunk.where is the love and comppasion ,all this happened in a 10 week period.
I stayed away for 3 years then got reanstated only after staying of the drink for ten months ,at 50 meetings, I thought life would be better now was i so wrong .
My Ex wife had been dissfellowshiped for adultry , Her mum and dad who were now my EX inlaws started there campain of makeing my life diffilcult in the Kh . John frew who his her father and still the congregation presiding overseer made my life hell . to much to tell it was horriable there excauce the loss of there daughter , I was to blame.
I managed to last 2 years .got dissfellowshiped christmas 2006 for smokeing for 4 weeks . THANK GOD .
