Growing Up In Mama’s Club
The story is a memoir covering the span of time I was involved with Jehovah’s Witnesses, which I refer to as the Club. I have tried, to the best of my knowledge, to accurately describe both the people and events during this emotionally challenging sixteen‑year period of my life. Writing this book has helped me make sense of a childhood in which I struggled to win the praise of my mother while staying true to myself.
In this story, I frequently use dialogue to make people come alive and bring the reader more into the scene. I believe my choice of words accurately reports the essence of those events at which I was not present but which were related to me by my parents or their friends. At times, I use words and the peculiar Club phrases that I used as a child. And I have changed the names of most of the people and some of the places described in this book.
I describe a number of very vivid and detailed scenes that occurred during Mama’s five-month conversion process. And yet, I was only four years old at the time. While I can clearly remember some of the events, I must give much of the credit to Mama’s good memory and oral history skills. She comes from a long line of excellent storytellers.
I have also included a glossary of words and jargon used by the Club from 1948 to 1964, italicizing my first reference to them. Some readers may find the short history of Mama’s Club at the end of the book helpful.
