the bryant tragedy has really been stuck in my head and heart this week as i'm sure it has been for all of us.

it occured to me though that there may be some here or lurking that do not understand what made robert do what he did.

there may be some who think that his was an isolated incidence of severe untreated mental illness and have nothing to do with his being disfellowshiped.

Who remembers Cake Nights?

<fluff> .

at the book studies?

they were the highlight of the month.. thing is, all the sisters would try to outdo each other making nice food, which amused me no end, and also kept my stomach filled up, but drove me nuts, because my mother would spend the entire afternoon making a giant racket in the kitchen and screaming @ my sister whilst doing it, just to bake a cool cake for the book study.. also, remember those last ~15 minutes before the end of cake night book studies?

wow, i haven't posted on here in a long time... i lurked, back in the winter of '00, and posted in early '01 a few times.

looking back on those posts, and other stuff written, it amazes me how much can change... i thought to integrate myself into this web community i'd tell some of my story.... i was not raised in the truth.

i fell in love with a jw boy when i was 20 and married him.

My story...well part of it anyway

it has occurred to me that ive been here long enough and have met many of you whose company i really appreciate.

i see people come in since i have been here and am inspired and impressed at the courage they have for giving their stories, their experiences and the freedoms they now have paid for by a cost that only a cult survivor can really appreciate.. so with that inspiration, here is my story.... i have very little memory of before i was 5. i do remember christmas morning one year to wake up to a ton of toys and that was cool.

i remember having my stomach pumped once because i got into some kerosene and thought id pour myself a glass.

please,there are still x-dubs posting on this board that think they are free from the watchtower.

they say things like, "well it may not be the perfect truth, but they, (the wt) still teach good morals" etc.. remember we are talking about brainwashing here, & its a very tricky & insidious practice!.

i have devised a simple test.

Here's my sad but true story

just discovered this thread by going to who's who.. i guess i'll add my life story.. born and raised a dub, i didn't really mind being a witness but always had a secret desire to celebrate christmas, birthdays and halloween.

they always looked fun.. had a really fun time during the teen years, had some great friends and we did our share of partying, but never really got out of hand.

i was, for the most part, pretty good.
