M Lisa	Lisa Lisa	Tue, 18 Mar 2008 03:29:00 GMT	Washington	8	1970	I spent 8 years of my life as a JW and at 27 I woke up from the dream state I was in. I was not happy and felt that it was my own responsibility to find my happiness,and not put that on anyone else. I discovered I was in a cult,allowing a body of man to do all my thinking for me...Where was I in all of this?? I spent the next year finding myself,and that was ten years ago. I realized that no religion or body of people had the monopoly on morals and values,and that I could think feel and live with out being told how to do it.I had the navigation already inside me,and did not need religion to engage it. I left judgement for freedom and happiness,and have never been happier. I have no regerets from my experience with the JWs as it has made me who I am today.many of my family members still remain in the religion and we do not talk,I have shunned thier behavior and they have shunned my choice. So be it. I live by the saying that Friends are the family we choose for ourselves.

M-J	M J	Tue, 21 Dec 2004 03:54:00 GMT	England, West Midlands	7	1973	Born into a JW household, baptized at 16, became a regular pioneer after finishing high school. Disfellowshipped on a technicality at 17, I sat through the "announcement", and continued attending, I was re-instated a year later. Elders gave me special treatment after being re-instated, I felt like they were my personal "thought police", questioning everything I did, even down to the movies I watched, they requested a meeting with me after someone saw me doing something "un-theocratic", the elders didn't show up, I refused to talk or see them anymore. I was disfellowshipped in absentia on the night my grandfather passed away, I learnt this from my father (the PO) at the hospital. I have attended a few memorials, and always enjoy the expression on people faces as I float in the hall, the elders have only managed to grab me once outside and give me the same lines as indeed they have given others. Former place of worship, Great Bridge Congregation, West Midlands, UK
