I experienced everything from molestation, racism, and harassment and I've seen nepatism and enough scandal to fill a book. For years I was very alone and confused.

Thought I'd share my story here, even though I'm not an ex-JW.

I grew up in a fundamentalist Baptist household, very strict, a lot of emphasis on personal purity and separation from "the World". As a kid, I felt simultaneously like an outcast, because I was forced to dress, act and care about things that my peers did not, and special because I was 'saved' and I was going to heaven. My church was separatist, which means... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (cyranothe2nd) http://exjehovahswitnessforum.yuku.com/topic/13566 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:05:44 GMT <![CDATA[ FinallyFree's JW Story ]]> http://exjehovahswitnessforum.yuku.com/topic/13543/t/FinallyFree-39-s-JW-Story.html My JW Storyimage
