Was brought up as a witness...I pioneered straight from school for 7 yrs.Married a witness....split up after 2 yrs..( really due to me being screwed up as a result of being sexually, mentally,emotionally and physically abused for 14 yrs by my stepfather who was a witness.) Left the truth in 1990....I have never been disassociated or disfellowshipped.I still have friends who are witnesses and my mother is very active, but I will never step inside a KH again.
