Bad girls

  When I was growing up there were a group of girls in a neighboring congregation who hit their teen years with a vengeance. They wore a lot of makeup, acted "worldly", and got in a fair share of trouble (a lot of back room discussions at the hall). They were true rebels (with a cause, I believe now, looking back). I think they scared the hell out of their fellow dubs.

  Meanwhile, the "good" girls would get parts at conventions talking about theocratic goals and how they didn't want to turn out like "them" (the seductresses).

  I have a lot of empathy now for these "wild" girls, looking back. After all, they were a natural product of their oppressive environment and they found strength in numbers. Anybody else remember cases like these? Were you a bad girl?

  I quit!

  When I first started studying with the witnesses I became friends with a witness couple that had three daughters who I became good friends with. I was trying to become a good jw but they weren't so good at it themselves. On time I went over to their house when their parents were out and they were smoking pot. I don't remember if it was on this occasion or another that I had some hash on me and we sat on their kitchen floor smoking it. I think this is one of my fondest memories of my Watchtower experience. No matter how hard they tried (and I do believe at times they did try) I don't think they ever really fit in.

  I only ever got to have one part at the assembly - I must have been about 15 - spoke about school witnessing. Was never chosen again. Was I a "bad" girl.

  In the eyes of the "world" no - I would have just been a teen having fun: hanging with the guys, drinking, liked dressing in black, doing all sorts of experiements with my hair. I got spoken to a number of occassions *shrug* would feel a little bad about it, but I also enjoy going out and having fun.

  I was a bad girl. I could not keep the hair removed enough, could not keep the bulges in the wrong places down, didn't have bulges in the right places, and the adams apple was a tell.

  Good girls go to heaven, except dubettes, who get to pet lions. Bad girls go everywhere.

  I was 17 when I started studying. I had been a pretty troubled teenager. And by my nature, I am definitely not the Sweet Polly Purebread type. I suffered from depression while I was a JW. Andy thinks it is because I was trying to be something I'm not. I think he's right. I tried very hard to be a modest, true blue sister, but nature ended up prevailing.

  My daughter rebelled, but we at least had long since stopped going to the hall.

  I saw plenty of those. Kinda wish I had hooked up with one. Well I have another chance. I remember thinking that girls who wore any more than a little makeup were "worldly". Wow was I dumb. Figured that out once was married for a while.
