DO OVERS...If you had just one...what would you do over?

by Terry in

jw
friends

the saddest and sorriest aspect of life is this: no do-overs.

we are stuck with what choices we make.

we live with it.

Only one thing...I would never have started smoking. A purely rebellious act that now has become a disgusting habit.

Name Silly Reasons JWs Get Disfellowshipped

by minimus in

jw
friends

i know an argument can be made that any reason is unjustifiable but i'm thinking more of the dumbest reasons.

for example, if 2 "witnesses" saw you buy a lottery ticket, you could be df'd for "greediness"......any others??

?

i was df'ed b/c i wouldn't commit to returning to the congregation and attending meetings regularly.

I've actually gone and done it! I am no longer a Virgin.

i got my first tattoo.

yep i am no longer a tattoo virgin, and i only passed out 3 times too!.

no, just joking it didn't hurt has much as i thought, in fact i could get addicted.. .

Congrats! I have three. I have a ladybug on a leaf on my breast-first one. I have a large star on my left wrist. I am in the process of getting my entire back done. It's of a geisha standing in the ocean. There are waves and wind blowing around her with butterflies around her. Eventually under the water will be fish and coral and such. The lower back and the spine are by far the worse. I have had about 12 hours done so far on my back and there were points were I was literally sobbing. You really have to breath through it!

What's the first worldly thing you did when you left?

by Nosferatu in

jw
friends

after you left the jws, what was the first worldly thing you did?

the day after my last meeting, i got really really drunk.

nb-dfed

I too cannot remember what I did first, as I had already done most of the things before I left! Drinking, smoking, drugs, porneia, you name it. I think the first truly worldly thing I did was celebrate Xmas, and it was wonderful!!

What to do in the hell-hole that is Las Vegas?

by SixofNine in

friends

so a friend is getting married in vegas on the 22nd, a guy who'e been a good friend for over 10 years now.

he doesn't expect me to come, but i told him i would if i could find a way to reasonably.

well, with a three day sale that has tickets for 79 bucks, i guess i can't argue that i can't find a way, lol.

Go to the M&M store and check out the 3-D movie. Go to Madalay Bay and visit the aquarium. Ride the roller coaster at New York New York. Go to the Hoover dam. My husband is a recovered alcoholic, and we went on our first sober trip to Vegas last month. I thought it might be a bummers, but there is a ton of stuff to do besides drink and gamble! I would suggest renting a car though. Walking up and down the strip can be hell on your feet.

So, the day has finally come. I'm finally going to see a therapist to work out all my issues. I'm very nervous. I know it's needed, but I'm anxious about discussing my problems with a stranger, and worried that they won't understand all my jw issues. Has anyone else been to therapy, and was it beneficial?
