to answer your question. yes we did. i had been studying for a long time. then i met a devout j.w. who encouraged me that it was time to get baptized because he did not want to marry a woman who was not baptized. then we lived together secretly for two months. we slept in the same bed for about two wks not touching one another and then it led to dry humping. my present for getting baptized was full blown sex. however, oral sex was a no no. only he could be pleasured that way. i got pregnant and had an abortion because we didn't want anyone to know about our shame. isn't that some kind of mess? thank God we are not together today.

For Those That Married JW, Did You Have Sex Before Your Wedding?
by Good Girl or Bad Girl? ini'm sure this has been covered before.
i'm wondering, though, how many who got married as a jehovah's witness actually waited for their wedding day?
it's for a "good cause," namely my peace of mind.

Did You Feel "Special" Being A Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus ini know a lot of people that believe they are "better" because they're witnesses.
what about you?
?

unfortunately, i did feel special. i felt so sorry for all of those who were not in the organization because i just knew that they were lost and would face Jehovah's wrath. praise God that He has opened my eyes to see that i was in a calculating cult after some 12 yrs. thank God i am free and it was not easy.

Gen Xers--Who remembers when Smurfs were Demonic?
by apostawriter inwhen word came down that a smurf jumped up in the middle of a meeting, yelled 'i've had enough of this shit!
' and stormed out, i was probably 9 years old.

i am 46 and i remember that mess. i was instructed not to let my son watch the Smurfs on t.v. i always was kind of mixed up over their decision but as you know, no one could question the GB.

brainwashed by my best friend when i was twelve. never seriously joined but i went through all of the same mannerisms that they did like not saluting the flag, celebrating holidays etc. when i was 22jyrs old i started attending the hall regularly..i didn't become baptized until i was 27. i married a j.w. brother at 28 and i left the org at 30.
i am glad that i took so long to be indoctrinated. it showed me that at least i had some sort of control over my own life. i left the org because i wanted to not because i was df or da. i couldn't take the constant intrusion of them in my life.
however, being involved for so very long had it's bad effects. i still struggle with guilt when i see them. it is getting better though with the help of freeminds.com and this board.
peace,

carmel,
i have been a baptized member of a baptist church ever since 2002. i used to be a witness from the time i was 12 til i was 30 yrs old. capitalizing in a simple e mail. why. this is my style. i only give God that honor. i had the hardest time leaving the k.h. so don't try to make me feel any more guilt than what i was made to feel when i left the hall. i still have issues with it. this is a board for those to find friends who left the so called truth and not a board where there are those who are ready to accuse like the organization that i left.
peace freddi
