my first birthday celebration.

by kristen 4/5/01.

having been brought up in the organization since age 3, the only memory of a birthday celebration i had was an old photograph of when i was 2. in front of the camera was my sister and i, with a cake baked in a regular rectangle cake pan, frosted, and with two candles sitting on top.

Kristen and Drunkwith, happy birthday!!!!!! Kristen was your sis suprised at your celebrating? Do your parents know?

What did you do?

to all those who have in some way left the organization (be it disfellowshipping, disassociating, dis-whatever):.

come now, i know the amount of people who "realized that wt doctrine was in serious error" and politely handed in their letter of resignation has to be very small.

the level of bitterness and hostility towards the closest-to-what's-biblical organization has to develop some other way.. what did you do?

claudia

Still, I was never baptised because of the bad behavior I saw there. I ran away! They still ask me to attend, and they are very ashamed of what I saw. So I was not kicked out in any way shape or form!!! Now I am back with my more decent friends, no not perfect just decent and honest.

Still, as far as going out and getting drunk with "wordly friends" I never had friends who were drunks until I associated with jws. That goes on plenty in the org. as you well know im sure. And it is swept under the rug in most cases.

i spoke with my sister last night back in ny about this whole jw thing.

(she is da'd).

we were discussing my pregnancy and the fact that my mom hasn't even bothered to say anything except for the fact that since i'm 'inactive with doubts' the baby would die at armegeddon anyway.

Unresolved anger or overwhelming sadness?

by LDH in

well, which is it guys?.

are you filled with anger at the wbts or just sad that things aren't what you though they were?.

i'm very sad that my parents won't talk with my sister (da'd) or my brother (df'd) even though the society's own web-site says that such actions do not sever family ties.
