i must admit i did succumb to the pleasures of the flesh
often
repeatedly.
what simple pleasures do you enjoy since leaving watchtower?
here's some of mine, in no particular order:.
a cigar: i dont smoke cigarettes at all, but i do enjoy a good cigar from time to time.
i must admit i did succumb to the pleasures of the flesh
often

chapter 13. they get my heart, soul and my body.
saturday morning i was up at 6:30. it was fun trying to share small bathroom with seven other guys, all trying to get ready in 20 minutes.
i threw some cloths on and headed to first “morning worship.” gilbert said i could sit on his table since there was an extra space there.
i'd rather go to prison.
i always found it uncomfortable to informal witness to people but trying to convince a jw to jump ship brings much more pleasure..
apostate is just a word used by the watchtower--its how the dub club may view you. means nothing in the real world.
this poor girl was baptized at 9yo.
.
she isnt old enough to buy alcohol, to vote, to decide her own medical treatment, to buy a pet, to travel alone... yet she was deemed old enough to dedicate her life to a religion that will cut her off from her family if she ever leaves.. here she is applauded for shunning her own sister who tried to keep in contact with her after waking up.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yzgnfda8ki.
do dub frumps really dress like that ?
hi i am just starting to rebuild my relationship with jehovah.
.
i would like to hear from people who may be or have been in similar situations and now want to dedicate their lives to him..
byee jmok--nice of you to drop by.
would you join a religion which says everyone who is not a member will be killed by god?.
would you join a religion which you know that statistically if you stay in it long enough, there is a high chance that it will split your family apart?.
would you join a religion which demands that you preach to your neighbours that they are soon going to die if they don’t believe your message?.
most new members joining the cult are miserable wretches in appalling third world countries. who wouldnt find life on a paradise earth appealing ? almost as good as a passport out of wherever they are.
those that join in the western world are usually a slice short of a full loaf.

my wife had settled into a routine of waking up at 6am each day, cleaning (so no chance of a lie in for me or our daughter with the vacuum cleaner going), eating very little, picking the skin off her lips while she sits there in a trance obsessing over things that are out of our control and dont matter anyway.
she never did return to work.
glad to read you got your leg over. always a great self confidence boost.
crazy kim again....could happen?
thoughts?.
well--Guam is US territory--its citizens are US by birthright. if Kim Flung Dung does make a strike against it----it will get awfully hot in NK. millions now living....are going to die.

so im 25, married, and my life seems to have ended when it should be in it's prime.
i have only two non jw friends.
A young married couple...no sex for 6 years ? That should tell you all you need to know.
so, so much has happened in my life over the years and continues to happen, but i won't go into the details as it would take a long time.. i don't really know why, but i returned to "the truth" 15 years ago.
in 2012 when the tv broadcasting station launched, i started to develop doubts.
the australian royal commission and other scandals made me angrier, and i now don't believe most of the core teachings.. the only reason i show up at 5 or 6 meetings each month is to keep in contact with my parents and a few other family members.. but it's killing me, literally.
so you would eat poisoned food--knowing it will kill you--AND them--rather than hurt their feelings-????
