My Story
by TheWanderer ini found this site quite a few months ago, after a curiosity search on wikipedia about jws and what's going on with the organization.

she had been, to my guess inadvertantly, hanging shunning me or not over my head.
however recently i believe she has made her choice to associate with me.

Feminism? No way
by StopTheTears inmy mother was a hippy who kept a pile of erica jong and germaine greer books beside her bed.
(like every other avowed feminist in those days).
needless to say, she didn't feel the need to do the cleaning and we lived in an unkempt home.

So, a bit about myself and where I stand.
by Knowsnothing ini've lurked on this forum since about the end of '10.
my first "apostate experience" began @ age 14. first a little backround.. i was baptised at 10, and did so mostly out of:.
