I was once Paradise Bound, now I'm free!

[Carrie Bee]

My name is Carrie Bee and I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness. Most people raised as JWs end up atheist. I believe it's because the belief system is so abusive that once you leave it forces you to open your mind and realize that religion in general is abusive! I just recently published my first novel based on my growing up as an only child with 2 very devout JW parents. It gives a lot of insight to what it was like to not have birthday, holidays and not being allowed to salute the flag or go to the prom.

The name of my fictional memoir is Paradise Bound. It's available online, as an ebook, and anywhere books are sold. If your interested in learning about the mind control and what it does to a young mind coming of age, this is a great read for you!

Welcome, Carrie Bee, you have found a good place to be.

What a life!  I really had not thought too much about what it must be like for a child to be raised by JW's.  I bet you have thousands of stories.  In any case, welcome.

[DunkleSeele]

Welcome Carrie Bee! Please tell us something more about you.

Yeah. She logged off almost immediately after I posted and removed the link to her book in her post.

So far it seems like she just gave us a "Wham. Spam. Thank you ma'am."  Because she hasn't been on since.

Greetings Carrie. A life of openness and logic is a life well worth having, and to no longer live in fear.
I hope your book sells, there needs to be more writers giving real life accounts of this, it happens far to often and they never have a voice.

 Gosh..a gripping take of being a JW.. I bet it's more riveting than the Brady Bunch saga..

Oh what am I saying? NOTHING is more riveting than the torrid tales of Greg, Marsha, Peter, Jan, Bobby and Cindy!

[Solitary]

That was quick!
