Darkhorse:

I found your remarks about your friend's lack of social skills interesting.

When I left 16 years ago, I was nearly 27 years old and had been married eight+ years. However, because I had not been allowed to have normal relationships in school and certainly nothing approaching a normal relationship with the "men" at the KH, it was as if I was only 14. I had no idea how to relate to people without trying to convert them at the same time.

Also, I found that I was way too open with people; I said things that were inappropriate to people I had just met. As a JW, I (naively) thought that everyone had my best interests at heart and could be implicitly trusted. Even though I eventually found this wasn't true, some of that sense of things remained.

I remember one guy I dated a couple of years after I left. He was a bit older than me, and he was totally amazed at how I told him so many intimate things about myself (intimate, not necessarily sexual); he actually told me that I shouldn't be that way, and my feelings were hurt.

If you go through your pre-teen and teen years as a witness, I think it can do tremendous damage, not only to your self-esteem and, really, your sense of yourself as an individual, but also to your ability to form mature relationships with others.

It's easier now, but I'm still conscious of how being a witness (de)formed my social skills.

Even saying after a lovely supper that piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah. (Jehovah Jehovah Jehovah.)

El Kabong, we are now going to have to stone you!

Love,

GLORY HALAUYA! PRAISE THE LORD!

NEVER NEVER NEVER will you hear a JW say

Praise JEEEEEEEEEZUS!" While slightly twitching, and sometimes almost bouncing

Instead modified versions such as

Praise Jah with an ever so lite smile head tilted slightly in a downward position

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

"Will you be my valentine"

GLORY HALAUYA!

Man Plum! Not even close on the spelling of hallelujah (shit....I can't spell it either)

I remember a sister singing" Micheal Row the Boat ashore" halelujah.......and some of the others snickering in the back about how she should'nt be singing that. I thought to myself at the time...."what the crap is wrong with saying Halelujah"

If it isn't published by the society.......you just don't sing worldly religious songs.......(.even though their is nothing wrong with the words of the song.).....pathetic
