When i was in grade school, i was one of the outcasts that was a bully magnet. There were 3 of us, so we stuck together. One was JW, one was Pentecostal, and me, the heathen. This was way back in the 1950s. I was a secret heathen, because in the tiny Midwestern farm town, you dare not be a non believer. My JW friend took her witnessing very seriously, and talked non stop about Armageddon, and how sad she was that I would be burning in hell. She was extremely descriptive of everything in Revelations, and I must admit, it scared little 7 or 8 year old me, but I still didn't buy it.

My mother became a JW when I was 8. Hook, line, and sinker.I was forced to go along until rebelling at around 10-11. After that, I was basically dead to her.

I love the opening riff to Sweet Leaf, so heavy!

They seem to be more psychopathic than the average religious nut.

My brother's family was torn apart when his wife out of the blue "found JW". She started dragging their 2 kids to kingdom hall and bible studies. Needless to say, they're divorced now and it sure affected the relationships between the children/parents.

Dad became a JW when I was about 9. I joined/got baptized in 1996 and woke up in 2010. I was a MS at the time.

JWs, no, but my family are fanatic Christians.

Even in a crowd, we are alone, but we need not feel lonely. Wanting a mate makes us feel lonely even if we are sitting next to our best friend chatting.

I have had conversations with a few JWS. i promised to attend one of their events, but never went. Very odd beliefs.

You need to read back your post. I'm not sure that there is a single cohesive sentence in it.

Say what?

Raised til i stopped going around 13.
