Twisted Life
by Mysterygirl in

i just thought that i would share my life as a jw.

i was born into this cult in 1973. i was born as a hermaphodite (both sexes) this was of great shock to my parents, apparently the confided in one of the elders asking him what thay should do?

his respones was that i should be made male (the doctors at the time said i should be female) my parent took the avice of the elder and i was the made to be a male.. as i was growing up i beged my parents to allow me to be the person that god had wanted me to be but the elders kept reasuring me and my parent that god wanted me to be a male so that i could one day be a elder or s/overser.. in my teen years it became very apparent that my parents had made a mistake as i would act in a very female way.

Subtle change in UK Blood Policy
by caspian in
1. jw
2. friends
it seems that the latest directive from his at the branch office is the following.. .

hlc members are not to direct jw parents to refuse blood for their children any more.. in the past uk doctors could easily get a court order to force jw children to have a blood transfusion.

but the parents always had to refuse completely so that court action almost always took place.

i would like to hear some of the strangest or most ridiculous thing you got in trouble with the elders for.

here is mine.. back in the early 70's i was married at the age of 18, typical witness thing to do.

my husband who was 6 years older than i ruled me like a overly strict father.

My story...

okay, i've chatted with several of you and i thought it was time to tell my story.

it all began during the gulf war early in january 1991. i was concerned about the war becoming the end of the world and naturally, because of my lifestyle, i began asking myself what i intended to do with my life.

a pioneer sister worked in the office where i worked, i knew she was a witness and studied the bible so i asked her opinion on what was happening.

hello, i've been a lurker for about a year now and finally decided to register and start posting.

i don't have time to tell my story right now, but plan on doing so soon.

i guess i'm putting it off as i'm not sure where to start without it being a book.
