I must be honest here, one of the main reasons that I chose to depart the JW’s was so that I could have more sex. Actually, that’s not quite true, when I say “have more sex”, I really mean to say have sex with MORE girls. It feels so good to be honest, doesn’t it? Ha Ha!
Now please don’t assume that I’m some sort of cad here, but I was then a virile young bull in my early 20’s, in a bad marriage, broke all the time and surrounded by the sort of mindless moronic witnesses that can only be found on some of England’s worst council estates. Was this the peak point of my life, I wondered?
Well the marriage finished, the committee effectively gagged me by utilising the DF’ing procedure, so there I was, all alone but needing some action!
I teamed up with another recently departed ex, and, armed with a dubious cheque- book, we went out for the complete make-over. Hair permed and dyed blond, Ray-bans, suede jacket coloured aubergine, medallion, flowery shirt, flared trousers, platform soles and everything doused in Brut. Clubland here we come!
That night we hit the night-clubs. We knew from the publications that these old world girls just couldn’t wait to get their hands on our lithe young limbs, and we didn’t intend to disappoint any of them. So, armed with our first ever cigars (cough, cough) and whisky and dry’s, we stood by the dance floor inside Nero’s night club a tappin’ our feet to Brown Sugar, whilst we waited to be set upon by these “old world” girls that we had heard so much about.
3 hours later we had still not been seduced! What was wrong with these women? If they couldn’t get thrown out of a religion for having sex, then why weren’t they doing it? Didn’t they realise what they were missing?
Thus ended my first salutary lesson on leaving the dubs. I learned that just because you could do something, it didn’t necessarily follow that you actually did it. I learned that, in the main, people were much more honest than I had been led to believe. I learned the value of giving because you wanted to give, and not giving in the hope of collecting Heavenly Brownie points. I would say that people who are not JW’s are more honest and straightforward than most JW’s actually are. There’s no hidden agenda, and I like that!
