JWs District Convention 2010 Drawn Closer to Jehovah. My reflections
by onemore in
1. jw

september will mark my first year out of the watch towers darkness (pun intended).

i embarked on my full blown search for truth about the truth in april 2009, and by september of that same year i was convinced the organization was no different than any other religion; but i was wrong again.

because if there were like any other christian denomination, such as the baptists, methodists, presbyterians, lutherans, etc...it would have been a lot easier to endure sitting in their meetings, listening to their rhetoric, and engaging in some of their activities.

Standing up for myself, a lonely stand
by troubled mind in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i have learned in my life that i am the only one i can trust to stand up for myself .. many times i wished others would have 'had my back', like when i was seven and my favorite teacher committed wrongful contact with my class....we didn't know the term pedofile back then , and children were not taken serious when they made complaints about teachers .

i wished my mom had been more protective and saved me from some ugly situations .

i knew at 10 yrs of age that wasn't going to be the case .
