  My Lonnng Story...

  by poohbear1962 in

  2. experiences

  several folks asked to hear my story, so here goes - i hope you don't fall asleep!!

  it's a story that's been told many, many times - i was pretty much raised as a jehovahs witness (my mom was baptized when i was 6 years old), and i simply followed along and accepted for years what i was being told.

  going through school, i just learned to be different (which, in some ways, is a good thing... im hoping that will make it easier to break free).

  i wonder what the percentage is of ex-jws who become involved in other organized religions.

  i had a discussion with a psychiatrist friend recently.

  he told me that i am a "psychiatric anamoly," that most "devout" people who leave a religion will join another and become as devout in their new religion.

  i have been thinking lately how differently i raise my kids now as compared to when i was a jw.

  my oldest son had the bad luck to have a mom who was trying to be the perfect jw single mom.

  i. was really mean to him at times.

  i've picked up a little about each of us on the db, but we're a reclusive little group, aren't we?.

  well, my picture won't be going up any time soon, but i'll put out some personal information and hopefully others will too.

  makes chatting more fun, don't you think?.
