Why the children???
by New Castles inwhy is it that the wts seems to pick on children from such an early age?
i was reading some personal stories in the best of forum, and so many have gone through rough times as a child in the jw.
i personally remember times where i was ashamed, embarrassed, and upset about being a jw as a child.

Conversation Starters
by kwintestal incurrently i find it very difficult to discuss the jw organization with my wife.
once i made my position known to her, her super "apostate senses" kicked in and there became a brick wall.
i know why, heck 2 years ago i would have built the same wall myself, and then put barbed wire around the top.

They Aren't Your Friends
by metatron inwhen i announced, at the c.o's meeting with the elders, that i was quiting and giving up, the brother who gave the prayer.
nearly burst into tears.. a couple months later, him and his wife pass us in the hall and hall and sit down in front of us: not a single glance or hello.

Hi everybody! ^^
by Epsilon ini must say that i have been lurking around this place for a good long while.
to know that you are not alone in your quest to escape the watchtower is one of the best ways to actually do it.. right now i'm 18, but became an unbaptized publisher at 12. i blew those elders away with my skill at parroting back the wts doctrine, and for a while, i was faithful enough in service, which i didn't really enjoy, but i had to do it to live, right?
we went to meetings regularly, even thosugh i simply dreaded the boredom and the inevitable guilt i would feel.
