I know, it doesn't make any sense, does it? The thing that they try to sell "worldly" people on is they are so "loving" and "accepting" but that can turn in a heartbeat as soon as they hear the word "disfellowshipped."

I admire that you have stuck by your son! Hang in there!

Hi Andee! Thanks for your post.

Funny thing about my discovery about "normal". I'm not. I never will be. It seems to be a combination of my upbringing, temperment, and my way of viewing things. Throw in a warped sense of humor, and what do ya got?

Found this quote:

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved." Helen Keller

and this:

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." Martin Luther King, Jr.

In the end we all have to look ourselves in the mirror and accept the fact we are a character of our own making. I'm still workin' on that!

I admire you Andee for your healthy attitude!

Thanks to all who responded!

But that fear of Armageddon

Boy, do I recall what that felt like! I had those doubts for a while after I drifted away. I am forever counting my blessings that I didn't make the mistake of marrying into the "Truth." It just saddens my heart to see what some of you have had to go (or are currently going) through.

Karen-

I know that I was emotionally damaged, probably long before I ever became a JW (when I was fourteen). Becoming part of the borg just kept me in the subserviant, low self esteem lifestyle that I knew so well. I wanted to belong, to feel a part of things, but I felt so separate, so different. I didn't know what "normal" was

I have felt that way too. I don't know what it was that triggered the feelings of low self-esteem, but you described how I felt, sometimes still feel so well.

Jen-

Which name is your daughters-Nikita or Leslie? I love my name, Leslie, but had to go "undercover" when I first came to help keep Mr. Biggs identity quiet. I've always liked the name Nikita especially after I got hooked on the tv show "la femme nikita."

Bug-

Yes, it has been great getting reacqainted with Mr. Biggs! I never dreamed the day would come when we would have an open brother/sister relationship again! And Quincy is my baby bro' he's a sweetheart! We still have one more brother in, and he is heavily indoctrinated. Maybe one day we'll see him posting here-I can dream, anyway!

Cassiline-

Thanks for the hugs! Yes, as I mentioned above it is great to have our relationship back. The emotions I had from when he first reached out to me-I can't explain! I had a hard time sleeping for days! It made my Dad cry tears of joy. (He was never in, but saw how the dynamics of us all being in ripped our family apart.)

Beck-

I always enjoy reading other peoples stroies as well.

And yes, Mr. Biggs is hot and so are Quincy and Badwillie!

Thanks again!

Hugs to all of you!

my story

by little witch in

hi everybody.. this is my first post.

i have been reading the forums for some time, but have not posted til now, as it brings painful memories.. my experience with the jw's began in 1967, when my mother was killed in a car crash, and my father married a jw six months later.

we were a ''blended family''.

Nikita

Welcome to the board! Thanks for sharing your story. I was so saddened to hear about your past with your "stepmonster."

Hugs to you!!

Nikita
