My rambling story
by MsGrowingGirl20 ini am 18...my mother has been studying the bible with jw's for over 20 years now.
she has never been baptised for various reasons.she wasn't married at the time to my abusive and drunkard father...when she started studying she got married to him--then she left him 4 years after.since then almost everywhere we moved mommy was approached by the jw's and she regularly had discussions with them .. when we bought our current home and the jw's appproached us 3 years ago,mommy was working day and night and so she told them to study with me.the next sunday we started going to meetings...all the meetings...i became a publisher in 4 months and was baptised 8 months after...i was told by everyone that i was progressing well...because of my mom's hectic work schedule ( single mother 4) we never had a close relationship so i immediately became really close to my study conductor...i was taught that religion and the people at the kh had to take precedence over any family members especially those who were a part of the world..from then on i never went to any family gatherings,concerts and i began to 'look down' on my mother.after all her heart condition wasn't right--why wasn't she baptised?
our relationship plunged---i even told her that i wanted to leave this house...she knew that i felt closer to my study conductor and so she tried to start back her study and get baptised....again she was dating someone and contemplating marriage with him but my study conductor kept on drilling into her head 'marry only in the lord'.

WHAT IS GOING ON?!!
by MsGrowingGirl20 ini feel as though i'm losing it.. firstly, my mom isn't baptized but has been around witnesses for a long time.
when i was in, she would have problems with the religion.
we were always at ends with eachother.

Move on.
by MsGrowingGirl20 inafter living a life where individualism and almost everything else is wrong, you kinda go crazy with excitement when you finally can be yourself.
i guess that's why i started to run crazy with ideas and had such a burning desire to change myself and to find myself and to figure out who i was and now who i should be.
i wanted to be in stark contrast to the org.

if you are reading this, no doubt you've had reason to consider making a permanent break from the jehovah's witness religion.

An essay i wrote when i was about 14---before the religion
by MsGrowingGirl20 inreligion: good or bad?
"i can't do that" or "no, i don't eat that!
" are just two of a host of phrases heard everyday by people of different races, languages and religions all around the globe.

I may have saved 1 person from joining this religion/ I'm going to do the unthinkable with my hair!
by MsGrowingGirl20 inmy younger cousin.
well,i was so worried about him and how he would feel/grow up if i stopped pushing the religion down his throat but i did.
since then, the boy seems so much happier and comfortable with me.
