    Rushed home from the Thursday night meeting (school/service meeting) to catch Billy Graham's Crusade signature closing song: Just As I Am

    I loves me some hymns.

    I joined the Y. I was pioneering and couldn't afford heat and hot water. The Y offered really cheap membership and I was able to get in a hot shower before service every day.

    FL panther, I suggest the most rebellious thing you have done is post on this site and read comments from happy apostates who have decided the best revenge is leading a successful life.

    I was a good little JW. Until I was about 15 and I stopped going to meetings and then I went to COLLEGE!!!!!!!! And then when my father died very suddenly I refused to agree for my mother to have a JW funeral.( My parents had become pretty inactive while I was in college). When the JW elder and his wife came to our door to give his condolences and possibly to plan the funeral with my mother, I went outside and met them coming up the walkway. I told them to LEAVE and NEVER COME BACK TO OUR HOUSE AGAIN!!!! And they didn't. No one else ever knew that they had come. Including my mother. Come to think of it that is the most rebellious thing I ever did. And it had decades of consequences. All the way up until now.

    Talked to my husband as if I actually was as much of a human being as he was.
