What gives you away as a (former) JW? (page 2)

Maybe if I stopped wearing this ...

on my suit coat, things might change

I don't know of anything that would point to my JW past. I can wrap presents pretty well, a combination of an Engineering past, and watching people in shops do it, it is an art though.

I reveal my JW past only when relevant, quite often I will do a "warning work" and not reveal that I actually was one, don't see it is of interest to most people.

I hope this means that now I am more of an ex-XJW .

Sapphy

I still can't bring myself to try black (blood) pudding (sausage).

I find it hard to make new friends.

I'm not sure what presents to buy people - what, for example, do you buy an aunt for xmas and birthdays? Do you even buy adults presents for birthdays?

Am very good at answering Bible knowledge questions in quizes.

What gives me away? Well, the non-JWs who knew me when I was one say I'm a lot happier now. Exes are happier.

My sensible and practical car and shoes.

As a recent fader, I've really been enjoying shopping for new clothes. Sophisticated, yet sexy. Time for the girls to enjoy their freedom!

One thing of many - i can't remember to say Bless You when someone sneezes. Around here, people say it even if the sneezer is a stranger to them. So i get the funny looks for not saying it.

The smile on my face gives me away, maybe my language too, I put too much money into the swear box in the office sometimes.

I can however wrap presents pretty good!

Haha! I have 2 friends now-- yay!! Thanks Zound

Now, Idon't say "bless you"either when ppl sneeze, lol BUT I do say "are you ok?" I always thought it was messed up and rude to say nothing. That's why I always say something, at least. Trying to break back into the habit of saying, "bless you." Haha :-)
