I was not absorbed until the year I graduated from college. Looking back now (and reading a lot of threads on this board) I can see where a lot of things that are more or less normal behavior for those outside the borg, are verboten for those in it. Most people get all of that nonsense out of their systems before they enter the adult world, although sometimes we revert just for fun - and we know we are reverting to younger behavior.
This board is a sometimes a place to work out those issues now.

Yes Jeff, you understand the point. Most of those raised in the "Truth" didn't get to enjoy normal things. Having fun was really frowned upon. Study, get out in service, go to meetings, pioneer, don't date---you're not ready for marriage, etc.....Hell, I used to wear a shirt and tie even to school!
Now I enjoy people, friends, life.

I feel like that, Found Sheep. Just trying to get it out of my system about the raunchy stuff. If I had gotten it out of my system earlier like the rest of the world, I'd probably view it all as been there done that and want to move on.
I'm really REALLY enjoying life right now, though!

It's good to see that I'm not the only person who feels like this. Damn the Watchtower for stealing our youth!

Humans have a wide variety of taste and that includes taste in humor.
Sexual innuendo is very popular to many men and women Ive noticed.
Personally my appetite for sexual innuendo jokes is very low and I am satisfied with a little only now and then.
But for some people it is a very enjoyable social activity they engage in everyday with as many people as they can share it with.
Why do some people paint their houses black or flourescent orange or have many whirligigs in their front yards?
Why do some young men wear their pants around their knees?
Why do some women wear very low cut tops showing their huge boobs to all of us?
Why do some people still collect star wars, Betty Boop, Hummel figurines or skull art and fill their houses with them?
POOR TASTE. These activities are not illegal, but they really irk a few of us the last remaining true prudes on the earth.
Question: If a prude does not see it, is something ever in bad taste?
Of course I am just joking.
There are activities and pictures and such which are offensive to the majority.
One day at an outdoor mall a young man wore a T-shirt with what I thought was a very offensive saying...
"Dead girls dont say "no" !"
And once at a store I saw a farting Santa who said when you pinched his finger "Thats all yer gettin fer Christmas!"
and ripped a big violent vibrating one in your hand.
I could go on but you get my point. Taste is so varying. What are we going to do?
Scientists are now saying that the Neanderthals did not die out like they initially thought but "intermarried" shall we say with Cro-Magnon and today many people carry the Neanderthal genes some more than others of course.
I think that may be the explanation for all the bad taste in the world we have been searching for!

minimus, you are not the only one that feels that way, well I do feel that way too since I was a die hard jw teenager and young adult. I have turned down some female advances back in my youth, I regret it.

I would have to agree with Minimus' opening statement that many exjws are enjoying a new freedom from big brother censoring all thought and action and exploring their new adult life to see what they themselves will embrace and what they will reject.
