Hello and welcome!

i was born into the witnesses in 1962, i was disfellowshiped when i was 18, because i decided to marry a catholic.
our first son was born 4 years later, and thinking i had to teach our son about god, which in it self is not a bad thought, so the only thing i new was the jw's teaching's, and yes i went back.. it took them 11 months to decide weather they would reinstate me, 11 month's of no one talking to me, no one coming to see my new baby, allways leaving befor the meeting was completely over, so as not to feel any more hurt then nessecary.
after i was reinstated i proceeded to raise our 3 children as jw's.
Hello and welcome!

i've been visiting this site for about 6 months but haven't had the courage to post anything.
well here goes...... i was born and raised a jw.
although i never really enjoyed anything about the religion, i trudged along because i was afraind of losing my family, and of course afraid of being destroyed in armageddon.

i don't think any of this is really all that unusual so i'm sorry if you find it dull.
i was raised in the jw cult from birth, a third generation member to boot.
my family was full of elders, ministerial servants and overseers of all sorts.

hello all, i am an exjw just trying to figure out whether this is a projw site or not.
i grew up in the cincinnati, oh area, father was (and still is) an elder.
brother died at age 20 because a blood transfusion was refused for him by the elders and he left a wife and little girl behind.

i have notice alot of new people here recently and i am curious as to how you found this site.interested in how some of you "old timers" found it also.
last may or june i was checking out some chat rooms and for some reason (i always thought how boring) i went into the religion section and saw a chat room title jehovah witness recovery room.
i was very curious as to what was going on in there (did a bus load of jw get in a crash and now they are recovering??
I was researching JW's on the internet and accidently stumbled onto this site. I am so glad I did! You have all been such a help to me. Thank you!!
