I would have gone to university. I think I may have been the type to use drugs. My life my have been better or worse, who knows?
In some ways being a JW in my teen years was a protection. In other ways it was damaging.

Another Witness, who regretfully had to be expelled from the Christian congregation because he became swallowed up in the disco experience and committed all forms of fornication, later acknowledged: “It’s a jungle. Even if you go there with your wife and want to enjoy a little dancing, she is undressed and raped in the minds of the men there even before you get her out on the dance floor.”
LMAO! I thought that was a parody but looked it up on the CD-ROM and it's right there!

Welcome, from a fellow 3rdgener. I love these posts from longtime JWs.
It gives me hope that one day maybe my parents will wake up too.

Are you sure leaving the JW religion has made your life better?. Lurkers think twice
by mankkeli inon this forum, i have carefully read most of the experiences of those who left the jw religion, i have even read experiences that have dated back to 2001, i have read the different circumstances surrounding their exits and what ensued upon leaving.
for the majority, i observed they are better remainning in the religion than leaving.
what benefit is there to strain family relationship because you want to be free?, please tell me, of what value is that freedom?,.

Mickey Mouse - you dont know me, do you?
I don't know if I know you personally or not. It's one of the inherent problems on a forum populated by anonymous posters - anonymous due to the nature of the CULT they belonged to.

Maybe I would be better off with my faith in the WT in tact. Yes I was deluded and my faith was based on fallacies but at least things were OK with my family.
Wait a minute, wouldn't that also apply to people who left other religions for the WT and lost relationships with family?
