    Jw facts - And how do you reckon your 15 year old self would react to this wild eyed mad man showing up ? hehe! I agree my whole life would have turned out different if I had known at 15 what I know now.

    I would have pushed for further education and got a degree from university. I would probably not have been quite so generous with my physical "affections" during my late teens. I certainly would never have started smoking. And I think if I'd not left uni and taken a job on a magazine and worked my way up to editor then I might have embraced marriage and motherhood. Instead of punishing myself in every conceivable way for hurting my family I would have realised that they were the misled ones and set about making a happy and secure life for myself.

    Oh and during a gap year I would have gone travelling and porbably met someone lovely downunder!

    Crumpet you are right, a 36 yo in a 15 yo body is a bit scary.

    But even if i had just not gotten baptised I think things would be a bit different now. My cousin never got baptised and suffered as a result during her teens, scared of Armageddon and all so got into drugs and all, but now she is totally together and happy.

    If I could go back, knowing everything I know today, I'd go back to 1972. I'd bust my ass in school, go to university, and scare away the JWs.

    And knowing me, I'd probably make a whole new set of mistakes.

    I would go back to about a week before the last really really big lotto jackpot and buy a single ticket.

    I would go back to around the age of 12 to relive certain things I had failed to live out in the teen years and relive everything to the current age making corrections as I go.

    I would like to go back to last Saturday and find out where I left my cell phone.

    I guess it would be cool to go back to the Garden of Eden and see what a perfect rack looked like.

    Although I quite like my life as it is now, I would like to go back to being 21 and slam the door on those two jws who got me into a study.
