  Former Unbaptized Publisher, New Here

  by GloomySunday in

  former unbaptized publisher, here.. i'm new to the forums and have hesitated for months to join this forum.

  i was raised in a jw family, and was never baptized, because one of my parents didn't think i should be baptized early.. my mother became inactive, but i eventually went back for social contact, eventually starting a study.

  i raised a few questions, only to find that the conductor would get irritated and defensive when my questions would get deeper into the topic.

  currently from houston, tx, but spent most of my life in chicago.

  i've never had an opportunity to just get this out... so i apologize for the long-windedness in advance... .

  i spent the first 17 years of my life in a jw home, then the real world caught up to me.
