I've never understood why people don't get shunning... Thats what they are taught to do, thats what we were taught to do. Much like a loan you sign for, if you gave a verbal agreement to the JW practises why is surprising if you break there agreement that you are shunned. If i break the rules on this forum I can get kicked out right in a sense shunned by its members. No big surprise to me

My husband's first exposure to being shunned by family ......
by troubled mind infriday we were in the grocery store shopping .both of us were in a very good mood because our son was coming home for a visit ,and we were planning on some fun activities .
then around the end of the aisle comes by husbands sister in law ( she is married to his step brother that is an elder) we nearly bump into her literally we are that close ...so i say ," oh hi ***** !
" she would not even look at us and the expression on her face gave me chills ..pure contempt .

When I first started out Yes i did love it! I loved it for a couple more years after that, i made Min S. gave lots of parts and loved doing it all. I lost because i felt like God would never help me no matter how hard i would try, no matter how hard i would pray, i didnt feel God nomore either though i didn't commit any "big sin" prior to that nor for a while after. Am not negative over it, it was part of my life, am freshly out, but like my other posts am much happier with out. The friends I made were good to me and I do still have feeling for some of them. Yes I am now considered "Bad association" (3 reproves), i dont feel negative about it because thats what most of us were taught. We just obeyed like good sheep, and thats what they doin to me.
but big whoop, am not gunna cry about it.

Children - Your experiences of being raised a JW
by jambon1 inyes, it's my favourite subject.
in fact, it fascinates me.
i am also confident that we can learn a lot from peoples experiences & that perhaps even a few families may avoid repeating the same tragic mistakes made by the ill-advised parents of children raised in the jehovah's witness religion.. as some of you will be aware i have had a struggle in the past to free my children of the criminal effects of wts doctrine on the minds of my infant children.

Being raised as a JW was very difficult for me and I think had a very negative impact on my life. My parents were Bap. when i was in kindergarden, but they were not very strong in the truth, they had zeal for first couple yrs then became inactive. So i was taught thats its wrong to celebrate holidays and birthdays, but never really given a firm strong example to learn from. My father was abusive to my mother and he drank alot. But yet he always would feel regret and talk about Jehovah and the truth and that he whats to get back in stuff like that. Well in the end of it by the time i was about to finish high school my parents were divorced (adultery on both sides). They remain NA as of today. Well am in my twenties, I feel I lost a huge part of my life, i never did birthdays and celebrations and i hated it. I once in 3rd grade had drawn and colored a X-mas reef in class, my sis found out and told my parents, I felt soooo bad I cried and cried and my parents got after me for it. What stress that puts on a young very young child. And to go through all that for what???? for what????
I never went to college because i thought "the end" was so close, "higher education" is the Devil. Don't be "greedy" or a "lover of money". Yeah yeah i without parents involvement studied to see why i was raised never to celebrate and other issues i was taught, and drove into my head by hypocritical parents. Well all in all am out of the "org", and one thing i do wish is i wish i never was introduced into this religion. I struggled in life buying into supposed "promises", and it cost me alot of grief, money, and most importantly part of my life one of the most important part that i will never get back.

Do you enjoy watching predators hunt and kill on Nat Geo, Animal Planet, or Discovery Channel, etc?
by miseryloveselders ini've got a guilty pleasure, i enjoy watching the great white sharks sneak up on seals and ducks and all those teeth ripping flesh.
they are beautiful creatures.
those huge bodies flying through the air with a seal in their mouth smashing back down into the water.

I would have to agree some with you. Before I went in I used MJ for a couple yrs, I just love it! The Alcohol was def. used to drown out when I was RP and tryin to stay away from the weed. It was a line both me and my wife were walkin. But the sex hahahaha we allways had that going since we said "I do", even when we didnt get along. We feel liberated. She even told me last night she wanted to celebrate the holidays (she was born and raised in truth). We going to a haunted house 2nyte, smoke a J and have a good time!!
ps SORRY I DIDNT WRITE A TITLE

- Whats up everybody. I am new to the forum and web site. Well I guess I will give you some background on me. Am in my mid twenties. I recenty have stopped going to the KH for about 2 months now. I ve been baptised for 5yrs, when i was 20, and made MS by 22. I gave public talks, conducted. I married young and in the WT. Had some probs for first couple years and to add to it my wife had turned to an evil now evil DF sister. It really screwed things up for a long time but I still was able to stay MS. Well eventually I decided to go back to my ways of blazin the chronic. Got RP not once, not twice, but three times. Lost MS on the 1st. Well now I started back blazen the chron, both me and my lovely wifey. Things seem to be sooo good between us, its weird. The first time i was RP i tried really hard to go back and try and be a good worshipper, i tried hard, but it seemed that i was a mean angry person and felt soo bad about mysef. We fought alot, I turned to drinkn alot of booze and that mad things real bad between us. But eventually we both have decided to blaze up and have not gone back sense. Things are soo much better and we feel so much freer. During these past 2 yrs or so of me going back and forth have been very hard on me. It felt like I have prayed and prayed and ask God for help and help and he never helped. When I started goin away and giving in to the "world" things always seemed easyier and stress free. I like what I read here from another post, it said in a way its not that I want to be a evil bad, greedy, immoral person. Its just that I want to live and be happy and not force myself to the meetings. Not force myself to be a kind person who gets pushed over by worldly people because "we want to be peacefull". Now were happy, we dont fight, we dont call each other when were not acting christian. We recently went to a casino to celebrate our anniversary. We gambled, we smoked weed, cigarates, and we had tons of sex!!(which we've always had). Anyway thats a part of my life that I would like to share with you now. Maybe more in the future. But I had fun in the WT, I did, I had lots of good friends, people liked me alot. I dont hate them or think any down on them. I just love that I have free will, and the freedom to exercise it, I cant stress how much happier my whole family has been these past 6 months of us not going that much and thinking free!!
