    JWs are always being reminded that you "could" stumble someone. You had to continuously question yourself about possibly offending another (weak) Christian's conscience.....Were you always worried that you were going to get into trouble because you might've screwed up somehow??

    Tremendous guilt.... constantly.

    I actually got married (even though I didn't really want to) at the behest of some elders that told me that my "problem" with choking chickens would get me killed at the Big A. I felt like sh*t constantly, as I couldn't seem to "lick" my "problem. lol.

    Anyway, the guilt is almost completely gone and I could give a flyin f*ck if anyone is "stumbled". If you "stumble", pick your sorry ass up off the floor and move along... GET OVER IT!

    When I was learning music, I was told not to play that demonic song: Stairway to Heaven.

    Yes. It was called being "sensitive to those who weren't as spiritually mature".

    It is nice to know that in normal living, we can say things that might even be unpopular with the group yet we don't have to be shunned for it because of the obligations of the cult. We don't have to fear every look, comment or inward thought. Normal is so much better than being a JW!
