  After being on this web site/sight for over 18 years everyone here knows I'm a shitty speller!

  Being raised a JW remember they discouraged education.

  My son turned in his letter in November 2001, 19 years ago shortly after me. He was 21 years old.

  Two days ago we were working together on a wrap for his A/C unit on his bus.

  Out of blue, he says "I still miss it Dad. Not the religion. I'm so glad we are out of that. I miss my friends, I miss the weddings and gatherings. I miss being able to sit and rap with my friends, The guys I grew up with."

  "Yes, I know what you mean."

  Yes, it's been 19 years and we are still feeling the pain of shunning.

  Our friends ripped from us simple because we decided not to be in the same religion as them. If it had been another religion no big deal. However not so with the Jehovah's Witnesses.

  One constellation, at least my grand children will not have to deal with this kind of mental abuse.

  How do you switch off the thoughts of being raised JW and feelings of anger

  by Zeds Dead in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  raised as a jo blow and married into it.

  37 years in it and now last 7 years out of it which feels great.. have memories of being a kid in school in the uk and just hating everything about being the jw kid.

  bullied, embarrassed in front of others and self-esteem went into the toilet.wished i was born into a different family.. what angers me is the messaging i would receive at home when i talked about being bullied.

  I was in 15 years longer than you and have been out for 19 years. I'm afraid you will never completely get rid of all of it.

  However if you bless it and make peace with it at least you can enjoy the rest of your life. Don't let them steel your future as well as your past from you.

  i was never a jw but i lurk in this forum occasionally, trying to rescue some family.

  i will spare you those details.. jw.org and jwfacts are there with youtubes out the wazoo but i would appreciate your thought on this.. i know there are contradictions plenty but this is foundational, blatant and current.

  i know they typically just blow off.

  What wrong with a much of "confused (JW) kids asking stupid hypothetical questions?"

  We seem to have lost a lot of dumb confused kids coming to this web site.

  Interview with Russell and Rutherford (satire)

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this interview was found amongst johannes greber's papers left in his attic and probably were the result of his wife channeling the spirits of russell and rutherford!.

  q: how do you wish to be called; mr.russell...dr.russell, pastor russell?.

  russell: for many years i served as a pastor although i never darkened the doorway of an institution of theology for purposes of obtaining certification in the mindset of christendom.. rutherford: you can call me judge or you can call me joe as long as you call me for supper!

  The book "New Boy" is Free on Amazon For Down Load the Next 4 Days

  a few people have posted that i wrote my book to "make money.

  "yes, i have made some money from this book but nothing to the comparison to the 11 years it took to write it and the cost to produce it.money was the last thing on my mind on my list of motivations/priorities in writing of this book.

  my thought was if i could circumvent the pain and suffering that the watchtower bible & tract society/ jehovah's witnesses has caused to just one person's life than the book has served its purpose.i'm happy to announce the book is free for down load on amazon for the next 5 days.enjoy my friends.keith casaronap.s if after reading it, if you could post a review on amazon i would greatly appreciate it.
