Name Things You Wanted To Do As A JW But Couldn't--- That You Do Now (page 3)

I used to hate having to take a "vacation" week for a district convention.

And when the Society legislated not to wear "logo" shirts AFTER the DC because it made JWs look bad, I flouted that! And I didn't care.

I don't miss the micro-managing!

AWAKE&WATCHING

Act naturally.

Respond normally to my surroundings.

Speak freely.

Think for myself.

Act like a normal person. Have a hangover without worrying about going to a Sunday meeting. Party to the excess if I wanted to. Go to a movie with no fear of someone "seeing you" and telling others about your choice.

I can see, Minimus, that you just weren't able to live up to the standards. That's why you left, uh?

i'm able to go to beauty therapy school where i learn about auras and chakras and yoga, hinduism, buddhism, meditation, healing crystals (won't say i believe 100% but at least i can SIT IN on the class and LISTEN to what they're saying and CONTRIBUTE without feeling like demons are going to get me later)

I can go to the school christmas party...which i won't but I CHOOSE NOT TO....simply cause i don't feel like it!!

I can do this intensive course without being scared that i'm missing meetings because most of my weekday evenings are spent studying for assessments and projects being due one after the other.

I CAN PLAN A CAREER THAT I LIKE AND NOT ONE THAT WILL ENABLE ME TO BLOODY PIONEER!!!!!!!!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA......................

that feels great!!
ANd that's just careerwise.......for other things, the list is so exhaustive i would be here typing all night!

Make out with my girlfriend in public without being worried I'd be caught

Good one Nosferatu. You mean you did that when you were a JW?!?! You naughty rebel!!

Minimus:

When you were a Witness, there must've been things that you really wanted to but couldn't because you were not able to. Give us some examples, please.

Sean Connery:

Your sister, Trebeck!

Nota Bene: If you haven't been keeping up with "present truth" as revealed on SNL, you may not understand this exchange.
