JoinedBorn in '54- total hippie/flower child, etc, I was raised Catholic,Lutheran, Baptist. I stupidly left the Catholic Church in 1970 at age 16...enter the JW's- the terrorists- just waiting to devour me. I then became their hostage thru "baptism," in 72, spending the best years of my life- my 20's and 30's- in a miserable, constrictive, false, stupid religion. In '88, the misery caused me to drift away, & after 2 yrs without God, I carefully considered joining a NORMAL church. I chose the Catholic Church slowly...in 1990. Sadly, as of '98, it's too late now for any kind of "life." Things were going well for me once I left my terrorists- I went to college (took me 11 yrs) and got my RN, BS. But in 98 I became totally disabled after being diagnosed with a rare, incurable, progressive disease. (see website) The evil WTS stole my youth AND what should have been the best years of my life. Thanks to them I will never have children, nieces/nephews, grandchildren & will never marry. Me, bitter-Hah! I had not prepared for the permanent disabililty, so now I feel I never really had a chance to live. As of this update (11/02) my life is pretty awful. I still, even after all these yrs, often have nightmares of members of my former Congo & my current parish literally fighting over me, pulling me by all 4 limbs. Congo: ROLLING HILLS, CA. Any former members out there?
