I liked this girl in my sisters hall and her parents would not let us see each other unless i was baptized. I was also getting pressued from the elders and my parents. I eventually gave in to all of it but mostly for the girl. What a dumb ass i was!!!!

WHY did you get baptised?
by fairy ini was just thinking back to when i got baptised.
and i dont really remember the real reason why.. thinking about it seems to bring up the idea that i only got baptised because of the way everyone treats you when they find out you are getting dunked - and not specifically to serve jehovah.. baptism day comes and you sit there and listen to the talk.
then you go out and get your swimming duds on and line up at the "whatever it is they decide to dunk you in".

Pleasing Jehovah or Pleasing the Congregation??
by worldlygirl ini was always annoyed with my ex for using the words "pleasing to jehovah" to describe certain actions.
in actuality, he an his family (and i suspect others as well) seemed to be much more concerned with pleasing other witnesses or members of their congregations.
as an outsider, it seemed to me that they were always looking for "loopholes" to get by with certain practices, as if they thought they could trick jehovah or that he wouldn't notice so long as they were not reproved or disfellowshipped.. my ex sister-in-law regularly spent the night with her boyfriend or he with her.

My family i think is a good example of a hipocritical jw fam. my sister was df'ed for living with a worldly man who was divorced and a single dad. She told my mom and dad that she was only renting a room from him and was watching his kids for him. They decided to believe her. They would have her over to the house 3 or 4 times a week. They would let me go places with her. We even went on vacation with her once.
Now though i am df'ed for living with my fiancee, and my parents won't have anything to do with me. I am not decieveing anyone. I guess if i would have lied and said that i was my fiancee's live in handyman it would be alright. I just am too good of a person to lie just to make everyone feel good about the situation. I REALLY HATE HYPOCRITES.

We were subjected to so much messed up stuff from the borg that i don't think we can help but have f"ed up thoughts and dreams. When i was living a double life I would always have nightmares about the gret trib. coming and we were all getting tourtured and my friends and family were getting killed. I was never able to stand up for the troof and so they did not kill me but to discourage me from being a witness they would make me watch the entire cong be exicuted. i used to have this dream all the time. But now it seems like the longer i am away from the borg the less i have it.

Now that my parents know of my life decision, they have not talked to me in months. I really don't care about them any more. I figure that if they can turn their backs on me for me making myself happy for once in my life, i can go through my own life with no regrets about not associating with them. It was not my choice for them to turn on me my conscience is clear.

If I wasn't on their DONOTCALL I am now !
by Will Power in10:10 a.m. and 2 women with mags in hand ding dong on my door.

well, it started out nice enough, i asked for a list of charitable works, (for other than jws) where their soup kitchens were, how a magazine will put food on someone's table, i brought up the un, the pedo data base, the whistleblower dfings, hoping that they'd be interested in one.

Being too picky>>>
by Frantic inarrrrgh, ive been labelled by many as too picky.
this ever happen to you guys?> it is known that most of us humans will never meet the 'right' person for us, or perfect, if u will.
for example, i might meet this good looking chick, and she wants to have sex immediately, and im not into that - first, takes away the mystery and second, whose to say she wouldnt do it the following night with some other stranger?

MY advice is stick to your moral grounds. If you compromise yourself you may have doubts. If you are having a hard time finding someine who you would like to share your life with i suggest to sit back and relax. I was trying my ass of to find the special someone. I was not having very good luck doing it. After i decided to stop trying to find someone and just go out and have some fun that is when i found my soul mate. I have heard other people say the same thing happened to them when they stopped looking. Your personality comes out more when you don't put extra pressure on yourself to try to find someone. If you are a beautiful person on the inside i think, that someone who is a truely beautiful person on their inside will see you for who you are and fall for you.

So, what's stopping you from going to the hall?
by JH in2 elders came to my door today, at noon sharp, and i opened the door to let them in.
they didn't want to come in, so they stood at the door and asked me, "what's stopping you from coming to the hall"?
they only come once a year and always around christmas time.
