  funny times growing up a witness

  by strymeckirules in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was raised from the age two as a witness by my new recruit parents in 1981. i was born in 79.. i didn't like being jw, and that didn't mean i was a saint.. and my parents were fanatical and still are.. i have an an older sister and a younger brother and we are all 2 years apart.. my brother and i were a riot.

  mischeivious, rambuctious, hyperactive and not afraid of nothing.. we had games over the years.. like singing in british accents during the songs(and during bible reading at family study) and screwing with the word just loud enough for each other to hear.. we used to have armrest battles when we sat beside eachother.

  pushing elbows until the other slipped and got in trouble.

  Being honest with yourself, could you have reasonably adjusted your attitude and continued on as a JW?

  i ask this question in harmony with deedub's swan song thread which i linked below.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/members/private/205902/1/time-to-say-good-bye.

  to some degree, i think i understand where she's coming from.

  just speaking from my own experiences since stepping into the world of anonymous apostacy, i went through a few different phases of personal outlooks.

  Is it just human nature to gossip or are JW's worse? Feelings are hurt....

  by mamalove in

  2. friends

  it is so strange how once you distance yourself from your kingdom hall and friends, that they find it necesary to discuss and contemplate your departure and put out all kinds of statements that simply are not true.. i am licking my wounds today because some kind of nasty things were said about me to a friend of mine who is df, from her ubber righteous sister.

  it was via text, so it was there to read.

  the thing i can't figure out is i have nothing to do with this woman.

  I dreamed I was outed on this site

  by NewChapter in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i dreamed that i had pontificated about some-self important point or another, and someone responded to my post by using my real name.

  in my dream, i experienced all the emotions and ended with, "oh well, now i can put anything i want on my fb page.

  " obviously, i'm a fader, but no one talks to me anyway.

  questions you could never get answers to

  by deservingone26 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember when i was going to the meetings there were questions that i had which i could never get good answers too.

  just one of them i had was how to explain how you knew if you were one of the one hundred and forty four thousand.

  i remember trying to explain this to one of my work friends and the reasoning of you just know, like you know if u are a boy or girl sounded stupid to him.

  My Story

  by Crank!!! in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my story starts off the same way a lot of yours did, i was born into the jw cult in 1986. my mother got kicked out of her house for studying with her older sister when she was 15. my dad was also born into the jw world.

  my mom and dad got divorced when i was 5 (my mother had scriptual grounds) so she raised my younger sister, brother and i mostly by herself.

  because of her beliefs she adamantly did not want us having any worldly influences, so she chose to home school all of us.
