being raised in the jehovah's witnesses cult from birth - i saw many females mistreated, abused in a demeaning manner whether subtly or right out in the open.
before congregation meetings in the 1960's even as a boy i saw an elder talk rudely to his wife as if she was a child- and the wife put her head down in sadness.
i saw jw men take themselves way too seriously as alleged " heads of their house " - because the wt society pushed the headship issue into every witness marriage.
Approaching this from a different direction here.
My attitude has changed. Not all men are trying to sleep with you. I was petrified of men when I was a witness and when I first left. As time has gone on though I've realised that while some men are like this it is possible to get on well with men without sex coming into the equation.

Nothing surprises me!
Just shows their thinking and how messed up they are.
were you apprehensive to put up a post on this forum?.
I remember reading the posts on here last year when i was making my mental exit. The physical one came first for me.
I was really nervous when I first started reading but eventually after a couple of months registered and started posting.
Now, coming on here is like therapy to read the experiences of others.
just for the record, today is july 17. two days ago i was in a store and they already have tons of new halloween costumes and all kind of witchy paraphenelia out on the shelves.. why are they pushing this stuff so early?.

what do you make of it?.

so some guy on youtube with user name "sweetmikser" posted a bunch of videos about the 2010 convention drama.
my grandma mentioned how much she loves the drama, so i thought i'd see what she was talking about.
wow!
Isn't it amazing how much love the brothers show!
Yes, the drama is rubbish but as a kid who was sitting out in the freezing cold and rain on hard seats it was the only bit of the programme that you would bother to pay any attention to.
how do i edit my biography, i cant find the control panel on here....
You can't as they made various changes a couple of years ago.
