[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up as a JW. They have a very literal way of viewing the bible. Since the bible only mentions two birthdays and they both end badly, the stance is no birthdays- obviously God doesn't want his worshipers celebrating the day of their birth. They only celebrate wedding anniversaries and their version of passover.

It's a lonely childhood and I'm glad I choose to leave the religion,  even though it meant losing my family.  I think birthdays are a wonderful time, when a person can feel special for one day. [/quote]

You should do an AMA thread. [/quote]

I never thought about that. I always feel so ordinary but I did have an abusive and chaotic childhood.  [/quote]

Please don't.  Most JWs I know are extremely boring.  AMA threads are boring too.[/quote]

My guess is that you are not a very interesting person yourself.  People who find everything/everyone "boring" are usually lacking in creativity and understanding.[/quote]

I started the ama but certainly,  you don't need to read it. I love reading about other people's lives and thought maybe someone might want to hear what my childhood was like. There's a whole lot of recovering Jehovah's Witnesses in the world. It's a sad way to grow up.[/quote]

Would you mind linking to it? I would enjoy reading it. Thanks in advance.[/quote]
