i know this sounds crazy however being raised a jehovah's witness gave me the tools of respect for my fellow man.

also my parents had a huge role as well,of course.. i just find today there are soo many twisted people who are amused by the sickest of circumstances and pride themselves on belittling people.i mean i am the first to say.

i love funny sarcasm and making fun of the jehovah's witness religion because i believe in my heart its a crazy cult and way out in left field.

gainseville paper had an article on the convention (district) down there this weekend and comments from jw's on how it helps cope.

i left a comment response directed at how the shunning nature of the religion certainly doesn't help anyone leaving the denomination cope.

*** 1 Year on JWD - Happy Anniversary to ME ***

i like anniversaries - i think it is fascinating to look back at a certain date and remember.. so in honour of my first year on jwd, i look back.... a year ago today, i was sitting in the little shop i owned, waiting for customers that didn't come.

i was bored and when i am bored i eat, and google.

i had been googling jehovah's witnesses and lurking a bit on this site and on that particular day, with a pounding heart and sweaty palms, i joined the forum and posted my story.

hi... my name is chrissy & i have been away from the "truth" for 8 years now.

i married a "brother" when i was 20. i was humiliated by the "elders" in the backroom for oral sex & publicly humiliated but never disfellowshipped.

my husband & i left the truth together after moving away from the area where we lived when we were witnesses.
