yer you got it completely right,
it is so stupid what the elders say what you can and can not do as a child, and from personal experience, it is so hard growing up as a JW not going to birthday partys not having christmas, and everyone around school is talking about their birthdays and what they got for christmas, you feel left out, not being able to say what you got. and the bullying which you can recieve because of it is really bad
