    The REAL friends who accept me unconditionally and motivate me to be a better person, not a better bot.

    i agree with you ya hairy midget.. friends.. i prayed incessantly for YEARS to Jehovah for a friend. since i've faded, i have been blessed with MANY friends. i couldnt give those up because i've learned unconditional love. it would be impossible.

    If I were to convert, the hardest thing to give up would be my time, which would otherwise be devoted to my family.

    yeah i would have to say my self-respect also.

    physical things:

    CSI - if i happened to be in a congregation that has its theocratic meetings on thursday or bookstudy

    Prarie Home Companion - it comes on saturday night but i love listening to it sunday mornings and reading my paper

    any "R" rated movie

    sexual positions other than missionary - yeah right like i would give that up

    holidays - no way jose

    no more Dave Chapelle Show or Real Sex on HBO or most of HBO for that matter

    would have to toss my prayer box necklace and my cross bracelet - wouldnt want to demonize or stumble anyone

    any books by Stephen King - cuz they're demonized!!

    oh damn i'd have to throw out my LOTR dvds!

    all of my christmas and holloween decorations - out the door!

    oops just went secound hand store shopping - gotta throw that stuff out too

    i would have to stop associating with my "worldly" family members thereby isolating myself since all of my jw family member are in california

    my fertility goddess necklace - a tosser

    I know there's more...

    Mrs Jones

    P.S. i'm going with what StinkyPantz said - masturbation

    My humanity.

    Now I don't judge people based on misunderstood bible principles, and JW prejudices.

    Also, smoking - sorry I really enjoy it.
