Thanks for sharing passwordprotected I appreciated your openness and honesty telling it like it is. No one escapes this religion without some damage to his or her psyche.
For many it may be severe for others like a minor fender bender but there’s always some damage and regretful choices in one’s past for sure.
tell us a little about yourself and your family.. born in 1952 second oldest of the family of nine children.
as you see, my family was thoroughly catholic.
dad was in the army.. were you a born in or a convert?.

they raised my two younger brothers and me in the “truth”, and convinced some of their own siblings to join as well.
i married pretty early, raised two of my own in the “truth”, sad to say.

me too, i had to have a study with a jw.
then, a month or two later, another one of my ‘worldly’ mates (dan) asked me “are you going out with emma?” i told him no.
dan had also asked rob himself and rob had said that he wasn’t involved with emma.
Awesome story LoveUniHateExams, it was well put together, thanks.
tell us a little about yourself and your family.. i was born and raised in southern california, with a brief stint with parents as need-greaters in central america.
my parents accepted a study in the d2d work, i believe my father was interested in the revolutionary aspect of the religion, and my mom said she wanted to learn the bible.
they were baptized in 1937 i think, and attended the one and only los angeles kh at the time.
Thanks for sharing your life story Dagney.
the meeting today was quite disturbing as usual and had to endure 2 talks by yet another egotistical, pompous co who gives talks like a hardcore southern baptist, but people adore no matter what crazy shit spews from their mouth.
today, he talked about jesus illustration about how if your eye or hand stumbles you, remove it.
he went into gory detail about how somebodies eye ball is pulled out from their head, and what it takes to cut someone’s hand off...perhaps even with a pocketknife...in front of many small children in the audience.
Before he knows it that loud mouth, pompous CO will turn 70. He’ll be handed his hat and coat and told to get lost…thanks for showing up, but your services are no longer required.
