bought up as a JW all my life. my parents paretns were and my entire family were deeply in it apart from one aunty who i tried to get in touch with when leavign ut unfortuanlety she had issues with teh fact that i was drifting and she was DF'd. Anyhow, after a 2 year plan i finally left after getting a new job, making new friends out of religion and moved out of home. i faded away so as my parents could still speak to me and luckily they still do but the 30 odd rest of teh family don't. i pioneered for 2 years before i had an awful experience in a JC and from then on the doubts started. wedding rings have always surprised me and teh fact that they celebrate weddings and wedding anniversarys!!! this site was recommended to me and it is so lovely to see other people who have had the same experiences as me. thanks!!
