  i just received my annual un-christmas gift from my mom.

  it contained 2 dishtowels, an awake!, a watchtower, 2004 daily text, the book "worship the only true god", and a letter.

  the letter was the kicker, in it she directed me to an article she "really appreciated" in the awake!

  I just received my annual Un-Christmas gift from my mom. It contained 2 dishtowels, an Awake!, a Watchtower, 2004 Daily Text, the book "Worship the Only True God", and a letter.

  The letter was the kicker, in it she directed me to an article she "really appreciated" in the Awake! on the bibles view point on "Alternative Life- Styles". The article contained the typical crap and equated homosexuality with incest and bestiality. Now, what I'm wondering is why my mother pointed out this particular article- is it because I live in predominately gay community and don't seem to have a problem with it? or is it that she thinks, because I am still single at 27, I am in fact gay and need to "Pummel my body and lead it as a slave" to resist other women??

  Any thoughts?

  I'm single and definitly looking! I find it hard to date, I sometimes feel like I'm carrying around this big secret and if I reveal it the guy will freak out. That is probably because that's what happened with the 2 relationships that I had outside the org. As for the 3 I had inside the org - I freaked out...

  About me... I'm a cute 27 y/old blonde currently living in Southern California. What more do you need to know?

  tattoos...did you rebel and get one?

  after i left the "troof" the first thing i did was run out and get a tattoo.now ,some 18 years later i still dont regret it.i even have gotten a couple of new ones in the past couple of years......i mean not that i am covered in them,but i think if a women has them ,there is nothing wrong with that has long as they are not all over everywhere.ie...neck,face or lower arms......... i just think it is sexy on a man..( a few....not on the same areas as the women ..ie..face and neck as well.

  ) but for a women to have them all over her is not attractive....i think for a women to have a couple in a suddle place..( like for your partner to see or find.lol) is sexy as well...this girl in our town, has them covering her face and arms.i just think she looks scary......(i do also think that they must be done professionally and kept realistic.

  )...i know your not to judge a book by its cover but, this girl wonders why, parents will not let children to her house to play with her child?

  I got one before I left, in a hidden place of course! It was a really small purple flower on my hip, looked like a mole really but too me it was my way of rebelling without making it public!

  For my 25th b-day my friend bought me a new one, which covers my little flower- it's is about 10 times the size. I figure I'm due for another when I turn 30. My philosophy on tatts is to never get one that you won't still like when your 80!

  Now That You've Left The Organization, Are You "Going Back To The Vomit?"

  by minimus in

  whenever you read the society's publications regarding "apostates" and those that simply leave the organization, you will see how the watchtower will try to make such ones horrible persons.

  they are said to be "rotten, like gangrene, those going back to their vomit".

  they are said to re-adopt all of babylon the great's terrible practices.

  We all walked away from the vomit... the only vomit I've seen lately was the stuff my cat left me on the rug last night!

  How have our views changed on tolerance?

  as jws, we were taught that we had all the answers - that we knew the truth and no one else did.

  we were taught that no one knew as much as we did.

  we were taught that we were better than others.

  I grew up as a JW and one of the reasons I knew I didn't belong there was that I didn't think in black and white terms. I too cringe when I think of some of the intolorant viewpoints that I repeated to others growing up- it never felt right but I did it because I thought that was what I was "supposed" to do...

  The hardest lesson that I have had to learn is that "truth" is not black and white - and I think that that applies to all aspects of life not just religious beliefs.
