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.

So the door opens...........It is his friends bro. Bro is laughing and shaking his head. He says Dad has people looking all over for ES. He told people to keep an eye out. He sayz Dad thinks you are with some girls. He winks at us. I want to die.

We cant leave people are looking for girls coming from this floor. Big Bro promises to keep ES dad from coming in-it

s his room.

We turn around and realize that ES has disappeared. We could't figure out where he went. All of a sudden he squeezes out from under the bed. I swear to god I didn't think it was humanly possible for anyone to fit.

So he looked at us. I'm thinking- It beats the window ledge. We still cant leave without someone seeing us. Apparently they would know we were the girls.

So now I am trapped in a hotel room under a bed with onmy my bathing suit on. Big bro was nice enough to stuff our other clothes under the bed with us.I cant remember what excuse ES had for not answering the door the first time. But he finally opens the door. Dad is yelling: I know you have girls in there!! Where are they? ES- No girls here dad. Jst was taking a nap.

It turns out that ES had a very strict dad. And instead of going out to dinner his mom and dad were going to eat at the hotel. I guess they knew about everyone who was staying in the hotel. He was afraid someone would see him with some girls and tell his dad. BAs brother had a room so the cousins wisked into the room. ES and BA came in after us.

ES didn't want us to go back down until the coast was clear. I wanted to go. I asked how would anyone know we were with you? I told my sis we need to go.

The phone rings. The cousins report ES dad is coming up. I say lets go. ES says my dad will kill me if he finds out I brought girls here. Just be really quiet and pretend no ones here.

Okay. Here I am trappedin this room with this desperate guy afraid of getting caught. He is literally begging us to stay put until he can sneak us out. Hiis dad knocks on the door and we are really quiet. His dad yells I know you are in there open up.

His dad leaves. I want to leave so bad. Next thing we hear is the door unlocking. We had already looked for hiding places. Bathroom? Nope- first place they would look. Closet? Nope second place they would look.

ES actually goes to the window (we are on the 15th floor)and sees if he can open it. Or if there is a ledge. I look at him and I say no way in hell.

When I remember when I was a teen. Mom, sis and I went to the DC. My sis was a little wild and would like to egg me on. I was baptized and was teased about being a "goody, goody." I was tired of being the good girl while my sis had all the fun.

My sis met some guys at the hotel that were going to the DC also.

One of the guys. E S was an Elder's son. His friend BA was his "bad association "buddy. I could tell right away BA was bad news and ES was just along for the ride. Of course sis makes a b line right to BA.

It turns out ES and BS were not staying a t our hotel. They were visiting their cousins.

They invited us to come over to their hotel. The pool was a lot bigger. I told my sis it was a bad idea. She said we would catch a ride with his cousins , take a dip in the pool no problem.

So we tell our mom how we met these neat JWs and they invited us to go skating. Didn't want her to know about the hotel or that it was with a couple of guys. We did tell her about the cousins being chaperones.

So we go to the hotel and what do you know- They decide to skip swimming and go to their room to watch tv and talk.

ES is super paranoid so we have to go up the stairs.

That sweet, tingling feeling...

by MsGrowingGirl20 in

that sweet, tingling feeling you get, no matter how hard life is at the time, when you remember that you're free.

that feeling reminds you that it's okay to not be sure about everything and it's okay to love persons even if they don't read the same literature or hold the same views as you.. it's okay to make mistakes because the people who love you will not pull back their love and association because of it.. the persons who are around you genuinely love you and are not just trying to portray 'love' because it looks good to 'potential' sheep.. it's even okay to try new things and it isn't a bad thing when you're actually enjoying life.. i don't have to try to be someone that i'm not and my worth is not, not.... my worth is not measured by a number on a piece of paper.. i can go through life at my own pace and i can be different.. that feeling reminds me that i can be myself!.

i know that you get that feeling also.

Miss.Fit

Thats how my husband makes me feel.

He's not a JW. I never knew unconditional love until I met him.

I just need to learn to get that feeling on my own

Miss.Fit

Truthseeker: I am sorry you experienced physical abuse. I bet it was in the guise of discipline. I remember one time I got beat with a belt so hard that I had to lay on my stomach and my FPdad put ice packs on my backside to bri g the swelling down.M

Was your dad an elder? Do you think mental abuse is worse than physical?

I learned how to be sneaky and I was great at saying what people want to hear.

When I am posting I have to fight myself. I keep wanting to edit and gloss over things. I am not used to the thought that I can say things that will not reflect well on Jehovah. My first instict is to cover up. Ive been doing that all my l ife-even to myself.

It is liberating to know that others went through similar experiences and were able to share their stories.

Jehovah's Witnesses - A Child's Story.

by Sic Semper Tyrannis in

jw
friends

millions of children have grown up as jehovahs witnesses.

lets start from the very beginning.. i owe my life to jehovahs witnesses.

more important than what he was saying was who he was.

Miss.Fit

Lois thanks for bumping this.

STT:if you ever check this thread again- Im sorry you were outted. Your story brought back memories. My dad uses the belt too. Every family Watchtower study we had the study article, the bible, and the belt waiting for us. The study would go on for at least 2 hours. If we did not answer good enough out came the belt. I wish I had your strengh. I keep trying to be good enough. Inever made a conscious decision like you did. I just drifted out. I kept trying to stay but some how I never could.

Reading your story has made me realize how much control my own father had over me. The emotional and physical abuse can keep a person chained. I am glad you broke free.

I hope you find happiness. You deserve it.

Hello Miss Fitt. This is the other Miss.Fit (With 1 T) You can call my Missy.

I just had to tell you that you could have been discribing my childhood, I hid in the library too. Thank you for sharing. I can't tell you how deeply your words touched me. You told the story I never could find the words to express.

It's a relief to know I wasn't the only one that felt that way growing up.

When asked what religion I was I would say none. The problem I have now is that since I went to meetings off and on some of the witnesses know me. So I have to be careful of participating in holiday themed programs at my plAce of work since it is public. I still go on out reaches.

It's funny Im afraid of being outed as a JW.

After sampling this site I realize that I have been subconsciously fighting years of mind control.
