untitled
by skywho inwhen everything was new and i was a child there was a feeling of relief knowing that i was born in to the truth and i was so thankful for that.
i was thankful to my mom for being strong and raising us to have such strong faith.
i was thankful to my father for.... making my childhood horrible, there for making it so everyday we had to really rely on jehovah to make it threw, that in turn build my faith stronger.

by make yourself inmine was filled with shock and anger but mostly anger.
it made me feel that way because i have never been lied to like that growing up in the religion with it being all you know.

Just got a visit from my mother....
by its_me! inshe came by tonight.
i was glad to see her, but it was so mentally exhausting.
she is a very devoted jw, and the whole time, i was trying to say everything just right so as not to "tip her off" to my mindset.

I'm new here
by Diamonds ini stumbled across this website a few months back and have often read the topics posted but this is the first time that i've posted anything myself.. all my family are jws - i got baptized when i was 17 but started to fade when i was about 20 and finally left at 22 when i managed to escape to university and move away from home.
ten years on and i am still out of the org but never disfellowshipped (although i would have been if they'd have known what i've been up to!).
the relationship with my family is not great - i get on with some members better than others.
