I was raised a jw. I was in from 70 - 90, I attended in central Indiana. I left at 22 after my 1st wife died she was 25. She was a jw also. She had cancer, became pregnant, gave birth and died 6 weeks later. My son past away 18 months after her. He needed a heart transplant. The jw's tried to persuad me not to give him a transfusion. That broke the camels back, from that moment on I swore I would never go back. So here I am 13 years later. My Mom remains a loyal misguided witness. Who knows though maybe someday she will wake up.
