My case is embarrassing.
Born in. Baptized at 14. DF'd at 19.
Stayed out for 15 years trying to kill myself with chemicals but always believed. (Never occurred to me to research)
Spent 5 years trying to return. Reinstated for 2 years, decided it was a cult cult and DF'ed.
6 years out now.
I consider the 44 years from birth to DF the years wasted.

It is disturbing that heterosexuals are always so eager to recruit young people into their lifestyle.

"Look what you made me do to you"
by Zoos inthis line used by abusive spouses and governing bodies who mandate shunning:.

it's got a bit of a history (according to the bible).

This line used by abusive spouses and governing bodies who mandate shunning:
LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO TO YOU..."
It's got a bit of a history (according to the bible). The plight of humans on this earth was created BY GOD! After all, for lack of any other creature with the power to create, did he not set about defining what would constitute human imperfection, physical and mental disease, and eventual death? And with those imposed conditions would come murder, deceit, abandonment, birth defects, war, and Donald Trump?
"Look what you made me do to you."
This not a concept we can blame on the governing body. They're just following the example of their GAWD!
Smiddy's post got me to thinking about this but I didn't think my comment fit in with his topic. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6549393140350976/jehovah-god-guilty-sin-omission

JW.ORG Now requires personal address
by AverageJoe1 inlogging on to the user area access today, there appeared a message saying that they now require a postal and physical home address to attach to your profile, with a note saying that the branch may change the details as they see fit.
this raises several questions in my mind:.
why would they need to have your physical address on file?.

That would likely turn off a casual surfer curious of jw.(org). Nice job, spirit directed ones.

Internally rolling my eyes.. Get this
by raven ina bit of an update, last weekend was my great grandmothers funeral, now, she was never a jw, and never was going to be, no matter how hard my mother, and grandmother tried to preach to her, she was the type of person that would kindly accept a wt or a book, but she wouldn't bother reading them.. anyways, she was a great wonderful and inspiring woman, the funeral was extremely sad, she had been a school teacher for over 35 years and a member of various clubs, so there were a lot of folks besides family that attended.. well, anyways i was there and so was my jw mother, stepfather, and grandmother, we were cordial, didn't talk about anything jw related because, it was great grandmothers funeral, not really a time to discuss how i am an evil sinner, or how i've escaped the org by avoiding df'ing, right?
wrong, as i'm sitting waiting for the service to begin, a lady shows up, now- i have known this woman for a long time, apparently she baby sat me as a small child, (like i remember?
) so she isn't someone i was ever close with, but knew of her or when she was around would say hi to and make small talk.. to give you a tid-bit on her personality though, she is one of those crazy jw's.. she claims to have been possessed by a demon, very very wacky on the prophesies, or gb talks, etc.

This story reminded me of a meme I once saw:
"Sometimes you meet a person and know immediately that you would like to buy them a toaster for their bathtub."

Village Idiot: I was 14 when I joined so it made a major impact on my life.
I was 14 when I got baptized. I was so emotional over the omni-importance of that event that I wept on my way out of the men's locker room. I think my ex-mother still clings to a picture of me crying as I walked down the lower-level hallway of the MetraPark arena in Billings, Montana... so taken was I by the contract I just sealed with JEHOVAH.
"It made a major impact on my life."
I had hoped my baptism would prevent me from masturbating any more. Four days later I KNEW I would die at Armageddon!
