  i was a 3rd generation jw on my mom’s side and both of my parents were jws when i was born.

  me and my 3 siblings were raised a bit on the strict side.

  no sports, outside association, college, mandatory meeting attendance & service routine, etc.

  Caves, it took me quite a while to figure out how to live a normal "worldly" life. You are not being shunned here, here you can find support and validation.

  Oh, yes! Growing up, I feel I had NO childhood due to this nasty cult. So, I celebrate Christmas and gave my daughter many happy Christmas memories. Now my grandchildren will have happy memories too. It's been 35 years for me.

  today is my 34th birthday.

  or, my 3rd birthday that i've actually acknowledged seeing as i was raised in the cult.. i woke up this morning to my 4yo running into my room and wishing me a "happy birthday daddy!".

  i got a card from my ex-jw brother and i bought myself a birthday gift - a new 50mm lens for my nikon camera (photography is a hobby i took up since leaving the cult).. i dont know about you guys, but birthdays is still something i have to make a conscious effort to acknowledge and enjoy.

  Tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel!

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just watched the movie apostacy and thereby, visited an ancient feeling of mine.

  there were various moments where you could tell that the mother and even the “faithful” daughter were bottled up inside with many thoughts and feelings left unsaid.

  their basic, normal, human morality immediately tells them that the proper way to act is not that of the wt.

  What a great thread! I always thought (as a kid) that there was something wrong with me, because it was "the truth", and yet I found it so abhorrent.
