Hello Wonderful people,
I am a long time lurker and still two footed. I stay in for family reasons, I really do make a terrible witness only going to 50% of the meetings in a good month. I must be a goat...wait a minute I am a Capricorn so it all makes sense now.
I have had MANY MANY anger issues because of being raised in the borg, my anger was inward if you met me you would never suspect an ounce of anger....ever. I consider myself a recovering alcoholic but if you asked my borg friends they would never put me in that class because they are all worse than me, granted they love the fact I quit drinking because it makes me the official DD.
I am second generation and shamed into baptism when I was 13 and I even remember answering NO out loud to the questions and had to get dunked 3 times because my toe kept popping up out of the water
I have the peace within and this happened when I picked up the bible and just started reading it and not relying on the WT's crap to sway my thinking capacity. I came to the conclusion that when the religion was invented I would like to find out the choice of drugs that were consumed especially the borg's breakdown of the book of Daniel.
I tell my devout family that I can't wait for the new system so I can grow marijuana and stay drunk, that is my earthly hope. I know that may sound harsh reading it but I am a hoot to be around because I say it in such a convincing honest tone and my lifestyle NOW is vegan and no alcohol and I haven't smoked a joint in 20years, however at concerts I really do try to find the smell and try to catch all the second hand I can!
The JW-net family has been such a source of comfort in my recovery on so many levels over the past 2ish years, so Thank you
