  Thanks everyone for your responses! They really meant a great deal to me.

  My mother called me today and asked why I wasn't at the meeting last night (the elders wanted to confront me with my disobedience of not heeding their counsel). I told her I was taking a vacation from meetings, etc. because it was too stressful (read: controling and manipulative) and I would let her, and any one else, know when I was ready to attend again.

  I pioneered my last year in high school and the following year. Then I decided to work full time so I could have my own apartment which I really enjoy. Now, I hope they will just leave me alone.

  Hi:

  I have no problem sharing what's going on. I THINK it's pretty innocent. But what do I know? I've been guilty of "independent thinking" for a while now. You know, asking questions about the new light on "this generation" and previous things published or believed that never came to pass. I also couldn't see the problem with reading things about religion, etc. that weren't published by the Society. I mean, if the WTBTS has the Truth, shouldn't it be obvious after any investigation?

  Also, I briefly dated a nice worldly man from work. Nothing sexual happened. Theater, movies, dinner and great conversation. But I broke it off after I was counseled. But what is now bringing me before the judicial committee is my recent visits to my DFed best friend. We grew up together as JWs. She's a couple of years older than me (I'm 19). She is the nicest person and came out as a lesbian, which is certainly not my thing. So, no sexual behavior there. But people think the worst and now people are saying I'm gay. I think my mother turned me in being the "good" Witness she is. And I've been counseled about associating with her before. So, I'm a trouble-making bad girl.

  So there you have it.

  Gee, thanks so much to everyone who responded. I really appreciated your comments. I know I have to go forward and take it one day at a time. It sounds like everyone here has an experience of "getting out" and surviving. Fortunately, I'm on my own. No JW husband or children. Soooooo, I get to build a new life. It just seems "strange" when you grow up believing that there's nothing else out there that's REAL but the WTBTS.

  Thank you, Polly

  Hi ev'rybody!

  Just wanted to see if this works! Gotta hide out -- right now the judicial committee is after me! And everybody I know and love is a Witness. Am I jumping into a cold, dark vacuum? SCARY!

  Remember: We're all in this -- alone!
