  Sticky situations

  by Sammy Jenkis in

  i was remembering today this situation that i let get out of hand because i was too damaged to let my co-workers and my boss know i was a jw when i was still inside.

  it was hard to explain to people something so foreign and out of this world as being a witness and never before had the difficulty been as hard as when one of our co-workers birthdays came around.. i dreaded the moment because i'd played pretty cool and dodged any questions that might reveal my religious inclinations.. but:.

  my boss came over to my desk and gave me this card to sign, she asked if i'd like to sign it.

  MissFit great experience. They wonder why JW kids are leaving. Its because they cant be normal teenagers.

  I got caught kissing a non JW boy at the age of 14 by my moms busybody friend. LOoking back my mom was cool.

  Did anyone ever notice just how many 30-40 year escapees there are?

  i know a lot of young people leave the 'truth'.

  but i would never have thought that so many of us with 20, 30, 40 years in would be leaving.

  what do you think accounts for that?

  Prime, why do I suspect you may be a lawyer for the WTBTS. The more you defend the WTBTS the more as its sounding if you want to throw blame on Elders an R & F to deflect from higher ups. My thoughts about you.

  my mom's lover would bring his handsome youngest son, to our house, and along with my dad, would study with my brother, sister and i. wed 7 pm.. next an elder's wife, who was a regular pioneer and worked part-time, who had a daughter my age, came to our house, after school wed. ruth was the head of the house and wore the pants.

  her husband was part of the 3 men who sat on all judicial committees in our congo and would tell ruth everything, which in turn ruth would tell the sister's.

  ruth was very pious but at the age of 15 gave birth to her only child, and beat on her daughter all the time, never letting her forget what "trouble" her only daughter caused her.

  Thanks for the memories. I read to S---y he also enjoyed the memories. Only person to study with me was my mom and then only occasionly. How many of girls are still active JWs. I count only two. Is that correct.

  3rdgen what a small world. One of the women who studied with Lois is my mother-in-law.

  Sad Sad Sad. To think a mother could fall for such crap!!! They were so right, the love of the majority would cool off, It has destroying relationships within in families. This is the one point that hurts me so deeply, thankfully my children are also ex JWs. No one can seperate me from my family, it is one of the main reasons I am an ExJw.

  i was telling my extended family (also non-jws) about the pyramid near russell's grave i saw months ago.

  i showed them pictures of the four sides and the interesting inscriptions along with the pictures of the founder's grave.. there are a couple of jw women who come to see my cousin every once in a while.

  last week, she mentioned the pyramid.
