Does it matter whether you bought into it?
by tall penguin inin my time on the boards and my personal experience, it seems to me that those who really bought into what the org taught, in other words, tried to be a "good little jw", have a harder time when they discover it's all crap as compared to those who perhaps were "fringe" jw's or those who were living a "double life" or had doubts for a while.
he had been having doubts for a while and had been perusing jwd four years before he left.
he also had a more "normal" time as a teenager as he lived a "double life".

My Blog...
by tall penguin ini started writing a blog just before christmas.
it's not specifically about being a jw but it does address that along with what it's like to leave and have to rebuild your life and let go of illusions.
it's really about my ongoing thoughts.

Are JW kids allowed to be kids?
by tall penguin ini had a memory come up today.
i recall there was a time when kids were allowed to read the subheadings at the watchtower study.
they cut that out because they wanted kids to participate in the same way as the adults, by answering the questions for the paragraphs.
