    I think of how judgmental we were as Witnesses."Worldly ones" were almost as bad as disfellowshipped ones but not as bad as "apostates".

    I was brainwashed so I don't feel embarrassed. I like me more now :)

    I'm embarrassed I ever became a jw. But the truth about the cult didn't come out til much later as time progressed. I tried to b a hardcore jdub but i wasnt that great at the hate and judgment part. I miss the family that I had, tho, but that can't be anymore.

    I feel bad about condemning all of the nice traditions that I grew up with in my family. Way too serious about "pagan roots." Who the hell do I think I am?!

    what a jerk!

    Absolutely embarrassed. It's difficult to believe that I actually bought into all the mean-spirited nonsense "in the name of god". And worse that I taught it to my children.

    I like myself so much more now...

    Well lets see, I told my mom and dad (deceased) all your life you

    have been Christian and know nothing about the Bible, I have been

    studying with JW's and in one year I have learn more about the bible

    then your minister. I told my best friend, I can't be your best man because

    your wedding will be held in the Devil house. What a A-hole.
