I'm getting baptized

by BlackWolf in

i know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.

my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.

i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.

I don't think they'll shun you if you never get baptized. They will be disappointed and the relationship will be stifled, but I don't think they will shun you. Only time will tell but that's my hunch.

i'm pretty sure i have ptsd because of this cult.

i now experience headaches pretty much daily and find myself poping excedrin migraine pills 3-4 a day.

also i'm drinking alcohol a bit to take the edge off.

When you talk to a doctor don't be afraid to mention the stress you are under because of this religion that you are stuck in and think may be a trigger for your headaches and ask if they can refer you to a counselor. They won't be able to help you fully unless you are completely honest.

*disclaimer: these are just jokes!

mary is having a really crappy time playing the cards life has dealt her right now and that is no joke.

but since we know how fond she is of jokes, maybe we can cheer her up.*.

Always take TWO Jehovah's witnesses fishing.

Cuz if you take one, he'll drink all your beer. If you take two, they won't drink any.

Thanks skin! But I don't know how to quote people, or add a pic, or anything. At least the highlighting is gone...not that I figured it out, it's just not there this time. :)

Plus I'm like REALLY lame about coming up with new topics. I think I'm up to 4 now.

Oh! I just got the 1914 joke :). ...maybe at my 1975th post something magical will happen?? Or will it just fizzle out like the year did....

Don't worry I'm probably more technologically challenged than anyone!

Omg, as witness, I can't figure out how to take out this highlighting!!!

I was never going to leave. I was going to stick it out no matter what, despite my doubts, cuz I never wanted to disappoint my parents. But finally I decided I had to get out and live according to my own beliefs, and let my kids follow their own paths instead of sticking around this cult until their lives were limited by it. It was time to finally grow up.

I'm SO glad I did it, even tho the process was hard. I never could have imagined myself here 10 years ago.
