If you were just asking, and I'm just asking, how can you say I'm being arse-y without yourself also being arse-y?

Fighting for the Underdog...and other JW ramblings.......
by ScoobySnax infor as long as i can remember i think i've always fought for the underdog in most situations i've come across in my 33 years of life.....right from back at school, i would be-friend the looser in the class, because i felt sorry for them, and maybe because they were different.
i guess i stood out as different at the same time and maybe that was the case why, not going into school assemblies, us witnesses would sit in the "enterance hall" and have to go in after the whole school had said the lords prayer and hymn, in we'd file past all of the school all 9 of us, and i can remember other kids hissing "jo-bo" "jew" "jo-vo" etc etc at us as we filed past whilst everyone sat down.
i'd still hold my head up.. in my teens it sort of got worse, and of course i was coming to terms with my own "what direction am i gonna take in life" scenario.....this too created conflict, not just with my peers, but later with my family with all the "haven't you got a girlfriend yet" "whats wrong with you" comments....still i'd steel my resolve.. in my 20's, i started my nurse training believe it or not after being pushed into a building and construction course that i quickly abandoned (suprise it wasn't quite me, despite sticking it for a year) 1994 i qualified as a r.n despite family and friends looking at me in a strange way (you're a man, you can't possibly be a nurse!!

I am so happy you didn't have it so bad. After reading many hundreds of posts here about how really bad people had it, I love hearing from those who didn't. After all, I was raised a witness, and I have to love and accept the witness child that I was, and who still lives in me.
I don't understand one thing, though: You said
I will never understand the ones with the most vitriole and hate against JWs and the Org
You've read here the same stuff I have: the raped and abused children, the parents, grandparents, and children of people who will no longer speak to them because they are no longer jws, people who are now suffering because they never saved for retirement nor got an education.
How could you not understand their "vitriole?"

does anyone remember being a child as a JW and not having holiday?
by franklin J ini am curious to know how many others shared the same experiences as me as a child, growing up as a jw.. surfing this board has brought back a flood of memories ( i am secure enough to deal with them) not all good.
i have been away from jws for sometime, and remember being a child in school and having to explain why i do not salute the flag, why i have to leave the room when there is a birthday or christmas party, why i had to explain when i was seen going door to door ( i grew up to be a pioneer).
being "different" is hard for a child.. now that i have 3 children of my own, who are fortunatelly not growing up as jw, to see how secure and well adjusted they are in school is comforting.
