My story - part One.
by diamondblue1974 ini have never posted my story on jwd and it was only recently that it occured to me that i should really make more of an effort to; here is the first part....sorry if its longwinded.... .
i was brought up in the borg from the age of 18 months old and as you can understand i have known little else.
previous to being in the truth my mother was an unwanted child and beaten by her mother, sure enough she fell into an abusive relationship with my father which left her with minus zero confidence and on the verge of a nervous breakdown; apparently my mum was considering throwing us both off a railway bridge she was that depressed and to her there was no point in living.

Twelve Step Program
by mapleaf18 ini borrowed a copy of "jehovah's witnesses; portrait of a contemporary religious movement" from the library and my never-wuz-a-dubbie boyfriend saw it.
he looked a little pissed off and said to me "you've wasted 40+ years of your life with this stuff, i don't see why you have to waste even more time with this; but if you do, it's your choice.
i guess you have to have been there.

Women, Women, Everywhere..
by Englishman inseriously, there are more women dubs than men.
lot's more as i recall.
why would women be attracted to join such a chauvinistic, patriarchal and mysogenist religious group?

who escapes more often, those born into it or adult converts?
by kid-A inwhat strikes me on this board is the number of adult converts that have left the borg, either fading out or getting df'd.
from my experience (i was born into it, 2nd generation, left before getting baptized) most of the faders or escapees were also like.
me, born into it, never really accepted it and just bowed out at the first opportunity.
