  I don't really think there are any 'good' JW's, its just a matter of how bad a JW is or even to what extend he/she was bad, if they were discovered, if a JW can really claim to be a good JW then its probably because they are Unattractive Dorgs.

  Bad to the bone baby. Elders would tell me I had a lot of "potential" but I had to work on my rebellious tendencies, like the time I was the mic placer and it was the CO visit. I was on vacation two weeks before and I grew a nice goatee. That was the last time I had "privileges".

  I was such a "Good" witness, it makes me sick to think back on it.

  I tried so hard to monitor every move I made, and every thought I thought, until the stress of it was driving me batty.

  When I learned others were getting away with "murder" so to speak, I said to hell with this... And here I am.

  I became one.

  I started off as a poster child for the JW's. I was from a divided home, and I reached out early. I started going door-to-door giving presentations by myself at age 4. I joined the ministry school at the age of six. I even got baptized at 12, and was immediately tapped to conduct a book study at 12 (this was before the elder arrangement).

  But there were things that bothered me. My father smoked like a fiend, and my suits were in the same closet as his. I was interrogated regularly about whether I smoked, because my garments smelled like smoke. At the age of 9, I had an encounter with the Congregation overseer about one of his sick accusations. I had a friend in the congregation that was morbidly obese. This was an old Kingdom Hall, an old house that was converted. They stuffed those gross little wooden folding chairs everywhere (remember them from old circuit assemblies) and we sat next each other in one of the alcoves by the stairs. After the meeting, this brother accused us of sitting too close together, and that we may be homosexual. We were freaking 9 years old!

  After more things went down, my respect for congregational authority waned. I was sexually abused by an elder, and I have a period of 2 years of my life that the memories are totally repressed to this day. I became a bad ass as a teen, and rebelled, but never at that point that they could take congregational action. They tried, but could never make anything stick.

  So, yes, I was a bad witness.

  one elder said my spirituality was like a rollercoaster....up and down. i guess so, 3 reproofs and 2 df'ing with some pioneering and a stint as a ms sandwiched in between. so i was occasionally a bad JW....and when i was bad, i was REAL bad.

  They invented things for me. One was not being content to just meet other men, and have nothing to do with the "sisters". They also derided me because I did not project enough enthusiasm on a talk (the conductor was not known for giving lots of W's either). And for having a pale yellow shirt to go with a tan suit. And for not pioneering or staying out longer in field circus. And for not going out extra days to help with the NR34 and NR35 Waste of Paper Distribution Campaigns. And for undoing my collar button when it was very hot and muggy. And because I didn't like getting stuck at a call that ran an hour past when I wanted to go in.

  Now, I am going to give them reasons to be pxxxed. I haven't been to a boasting session or out in field circus in three years. I post apostate material. I go online, looking for apostate sites on purpose. I got a Ouija board on purpose. I put Christmas music on my computer on purpose. I have my place decorated for Christmas, even in summer (why not). I joined a "secret" society that the Washtowel Slaveholdery has bashed. I have Crisis of Conscience. I have nice worldly clothing in a prominent place, and the witless suits are in the back corners. I use some words that are banned or frowned upon among the witlesses but are acceptable in the world (like crap, darn, damn, hell, and luck).

  And I am not planning on going to this Grand Boasting Session, pioneering this coming September, participating in or supporting the Big Waste of Paper Distribution Campaign(s) this fall, going to the Big Boasting Session this fall, supporting Christmas Field Circus, getting a room for the 2009 Grand Boasting Session, pioneering during the REJECT Jesus Party season, participating in the Waste of Paper Distribution Campaigns inviting people to the Black Sabbath or the Grand Boasting Session, or going to the REJECT Jesus Party in 2009.

  Oh yeah, I drank underage, I messed around with my old GF (now ex wife), swore like a sailor, liked to fight, initimidate people at conventions, and encouraged under age drinking. I also watched porn, R rated movies and was surfing apostate sites since college, oh yeah and I WENT TO COLLEGE!!! 2 reproofs, and now "no longer one of the JW's". I never enjoyed being a witness, but I was born into it. To the elders in my hall and a few CO's though I could do no wrong, until I filed for divorce. I had privileges, even was an attendant at assemblies and conventions for God's sake. No one ever knew about me.

  No one ever could nail me for anything, until my (inactive) ex-wife broke into my email account and showed the elders emails between me and a worldly woman, I admitted to it, said I wouldn't stop and wrote a letter to them telling them I didn't want it anymore, so they announced it. I was trying to fade at the time, but I didn't make it.
