  What went against your nature

  by Satanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the dub life, some things that were against my nature that i did were giving talks, door to door selling, classroom debates, exclude myself from school activities, shunning dfd ones, not doing the pagan/christian celebrations, and um,, abstaining from sex.

  on the other hand, some stuff i liked was studying some of the ideas in the books, although my enjoyment of this tapered off.

  i sometimes enjoyed arguing doctrine and attacking evolution.

  Overcoming objections at the door. I really hated pushing the literature and I rarely ever did. I can recall standing at the doorin shame as this one pioneer sister I worked with on occassion forced the issue. I hated that!

  My last meeting was in October 2001. I went to the Memorial in 2003 and that was the last time I set foot in a KH.

  I told them I was depressed and I just couldn't handle the stress. They bought it for awhile -- by then I was gone.

  I haven't given much thought to what it would say. But me and my fiancee will stop at old cemetaries just to view the headstones. I saw a double heart headstone once and I told him that WE had to have that one. LOL So at least I will know what it will look like.

  Well, being on a island has its advantages, can't go far.

  That is what I was thinking.

  I am very sorry about your car. I have had my car broken into and I felt violated. Not a good feeling.

  Please help me understand about JWs as I have no idea about this religion

  by unknown in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am looking for some one to help me understand a particular issue as a jw would see it.... if a single practicing jw was to have an affair with a married person (not a jw) knowing that they were married what would come of them or how would they feel about this being brought with a strict jw background?

  i am trying to understand this as i have no knowlege of this religion.

  any help would be appreciated.

  Unknown,

  According to the dubs, sex outside of marriage is wrong. No way around it.

  Just out of curiosity, why do you ask?

  only certain congregations were invited.

  I wonder what the critera is to be that "special" congregation. Do you have to have an above average field service rating? More pioneers? What a joke. It just falls into line that there are rank & file that get more privileges (I used that term loosely) than others. Kinda like the other sheep/little flock.
