Who was a squeaky clean dub? (page 2)

Cygnus

I can count on one hand the bad things I did. I can recall a thousand things I shunned because good little JW boys didn't do those things (like school sports, or birthdays, or playing Axis and Allies, or even hanging out with worldly kids).

Let's see. When I got married, I watched a couple of R-rated movies, and ordered a pay-per-view boxing event (the one where the dude parachuted into the ring and then got the CRAP beat out of him). When my wife and I were engaged, we fooled around some. When I was 13-14 I used to sneak out at night and hang out at a video arcade until four in the morning. That's about it.

I tried very hard to be a good JW. I threw out much of my music collection to make my dad happy (innocent stuff like Jeff Beck and Steely Dan). I never got near smokes or pot. Gad dang it, I never even kissed a girl until I was 18! Can you believe that shit?!?!?

Marilyn,

Like you I took the rules very seriously. Felt guilty even over minor infractions like saying "darn" or going to a PG-rated movie. On the outside, I looked so sweet, inside I was torn apart by conflict.

Whoops, I forgot the drinking! But that was within the marriage arrangment, so even that was ok, right?

Cygnus, my boy friend and I used to fool around, but then after we converted we (eventually) stopped. What an unhealthy decision!

Cygnus,

Your childhood sounds almost exactly like mine!

I was pretty much one, yes. True believer, did little wrong, didn't even start drinking alcohol till 21 for xsakes...

Ah, what a wasted time!

Count me in with the "straight arrow" group. Left at 15 and still kept my nose clean with an occassional slip! According to the JWs my "dissobedience" to my parents qualified me for being stoned to death along with the whores and murders.. so I guess I wasn't as good as I thought I was...

I was - not by choice.

My parents were so strict (dad - elder) that bi-weekly room searches were done starting at age 8. I wasn't allowed any 'worldly' association, and most of the JW kids were off limits too. (They weren't good enough association) No phone usage, no privacy, and no life.

Didn't stop the rumors about me though. Had a handful of Judicial Committee Meetings called for little ole me (starting at age 12) over things that I had done at worldly & witness parties (that I wasn't allowed to attend & didn't) I was even threatened with DFing by another congregation because of the things they heard I did at a party (I seriously need to meet my doppelganger - she had the best time!!)

Moved out at 19, lost my virginity (*sigh* to the man I married - non-JW) OOOOOOPs!! he just looked over my shoulder & wanted to know why I was sighing about losing my virginity to him (shhhhh!)

Anyway, once I got the hell out of Dodge, I made up for lost time :o)

So, I guess I was squeaky by default - not by choice.
