What did you refuse to do in school?
by Moxy inin high school, one friend of mine was offended by flowers for algernon because of the sex bits and refused to take it as part of the english curriculum.
he even gave an experience about it at a ca.
so those of us in the other english classes that year kinda had to refuse to do it too.

Hi Moxy...oohhh the shame of having to be different. Most of my embarrassing moments were in Junior high school. I was asked to go to a hobo party..it was supposed to be at this guys barn ..big bon fire..games food etc. There were even going to be teachers there. I had to tell them I was one of Jehovah's witness's and that I had to go to a meeting that night. I was so not with the crowd..that when a guy asked if I would go with him..my response was,"Where?" Wow! was I embarrassed when he said I mean go steady. It got worse when I had to tell him my beliefs on dating...Gosh there's so many...:) Take care,

Having Children Inside vs Outside The Organizatio
by Ranchette ini feel cheated because i wouldnt know what its like to experience pregnancy and the birth of my children the way it was meant to be.. a completely natural and joyous event in human life was sabotaged by this religion!.
im sure there are others who know what i mean.. i would be interested to hear stories of others who have had children both inside and out of this organization.. i would like to explain what i mean.. i was raised as a witness and was always expected to be an example.
from as far back as i can remember we were taught that armageddon was just around the corner.

Ranchette, I know what you mean about those talks. I hated it when you know the talks were written for you. When I was pregnant with my second child I was disfellowshipped because of divorcing, and remarrying. I had medical problems, and almost lost my daughter,but had to deal with it by myself. My mom did take me to the hospital,but couldn't talk to me.It took me 15 months to get reinstated so all that time I was pretty much on my own.My husband had to take the kids to see my jw family.Yuck!! Telling the story now sounds so cold in human. My 3 kids were raised in the religion, but got out of it after I left a second time for good. I'm glad they had a new chance at life.Take care,

Hi Vita, YOU BETCHA !!!. I look so forward to it every year. Every yr. I add more to my collection of holiday decore. My house gets fully lit up. It's hard to explain, but it is so comforting spending time with family, and loved ones. I know, I know, the jw's think we neglect family other times of the yr. Not our family, we are big on family. The music makes you warm, and fuzzy, and you can sit, and watch your tree for hours. Thanksgiving is grand too. I start days ahead preparing wonderful food, and making the house took warm, and toasty. So I welcome it with bells on, and an apron for the gravy. Take care.
