What was life like for you as a JW teenager?
by highdose inin the wt's illistrations they portray jw teenagers as happy, together group.
my experinace is that the jw teenagers in the cong were some of the bitchyist backstabbing arse holes i'll ever meet.. it was unheard of for us to engage in group "wholesome activity" as show in the wt's illistrations.
the competition amongst the girls for the handsome, sane and elders sons were cut throat.

Here i feel heard ..
by Dudu ini have this situation with my active jw friends and nobody else but you guys can clearly understand... my friends are very zealous jw coz i was one of them when i started fading... most of them live out of country or few hours away from me, they dont know im fading they dont know i have a worldly boyfriend, they dont know i havent attend a meeting since 6 months ago .... some are calling , as usual and honestly i dont wanna talk to them, not because they arent nice, but because i feel like a double faced person and i dont know ..... at the same time that doesnt help with my fading coz some of them will be really concern and will start asking around to know how im really doing :s should i just be honest and stop this charade?.

Hi - I'm new here!
by Flicka ini have been lurking on this site for the past 2 months.
for the past few years i have been going to the meetings and doing fieldservice out of guilt.. my husband (twisty) told me regularly i only do it out of guilt but i denied it and said it i want to do these things because i love jehovah and it is the right thing to do, but how can it be the right thing if you don't feel welcome and it feels like everyone is judging you the moment you walk into the kingdom hall.. it has taken a few years and a lot of tears to open my eyes.. over the past few years twisty spoke to me about the various things he didn't agree with but it just went over my head.
a few months ago we were lying in bed and he brought up his concerns again, and i'm not sure what was different this time but i understood and agreed with the points he was making.

Am I still an Ex JW?
by darthfader ini was thinking the other day about being an ex jehovahs witness... will i always be an ex jw?
will i know when im no longer an ex jw?
what can i do to become less of an ex jw and more of a normal person (whatever that is)... for me, being a jw was a little like a cross between the firm and hotel california where i feel like, at any point, one of the friends will spot me and either accost me or report me to the elders.

Kingdom Hall Libraries just for beating kids.....isn't this Child abuse?
by Witness 007 inyeah no "sunday school" for our kids because it's too "christendom" for us, so our 5 year old's need to sit thru watchtowers on masturbation etc.. when they get bored or wriggle too much.....out to the library!!!!
is it child abuse to force kids to sit thru an adult meeting for 2 hours...and beat them when they can't?.
