So geez its 14 years since I stopped going, I was 14...
Recently I have been drawn to Facebook groups for ex witnesses and it stirred up some old feelings so I am here.
I dont know how I feel I think the bottom line is, my mum who brought me up as a JW, (my dad never was one), is a wonderful woman and she did it out of her own belief that it was for the best, so I dont hold a grudge, but yeah angry still about it.
I just feel like my childhood was robbed, forced to sit out of assembly at school, miss out on all the fun celebrations, always having to say you couldnt go to parties, feeling embarrassed 3 times a week, sure you know what I am on about.
Still to this day I have little niggles about 'demonised' stuff and it really pisses me off that kids so young should be fed that shit. I have a load more I want to add, but its late at night....
Cheers for the place to vent
