Doesn't it depend on the outfit?
If you're wearing a tuxedo or suit and dark shoes than white socks are going to look a little dodgy..
but if for some reason you're wearing white pants with light coloured shoes anything but white would probably look a little dodgy..
or maybe I'm just talking out my ass
I wear black/dark stuff all day every day..

Does Our Being A JW At One Time Mean That We Now Have "Baggage"?
by minimus indo you think we're "damaged goods" now?

DireStraitJacket
I think so, especially those raised in the troof, who have to try figure out what life is about all over again when they get out..
Can you count inexperience as baggage?
I'm sure those that joined later in life and hung around for a long time must be ruing the time they've wasted in their lives. -

I don't believe in hell, or heaven for that matter. I think when you die you change form, or move into a different level of conciousness, whether you can remember your previous form is something whatever I become might find out. We can't be living this life for nothing, I think all the experiences we go through mold our 'spirit' which helps determine what it might become when this life has ended.
I don't think the bible was written by god, but that it does have some good advice in it that we can follow.
Oh and I use the name Jehovah when arguing about god with my family. Don't believe in god either, just that there is something wierd out there, and in some future life maybe I'll find out what that is. -

Suicide Prevention
by ApagaLaLuz ini just wanted to drop a quick note.
last thursday a good friend of mine jumped off of a freeway overpass and killed herself.
ironically it was the same overpass that just 5 years before i had stood atop and climbed the fence with similar thoughts in my head when my family had initially disowned me.

I think its everyones personal choice what they choose to discuss with other people and how they choose to deal with certain situations. As much as we can try be there for them, to support them, if they never choose to accept that help there is little we can do.

the biggest preventing factor for me has always been to think what emotional damage would be caused to the few people I care about
(((Chevy))) i'm sorry you have to go through this, it is something no one should have to experience in their lives -

In the aftermath of our shattered faith, for those who also wonder.....
by Frannie Banannie init's been over 12 yrs since my df'ing.
yes, i forced 'em to do it for what i know now were pointless reasons....but mainly, at the time, i thought it was because the heirarchy of the wts doesn't measure up to scriptural standards....i wasn't wrong for they are very judgmental hate-mongers, manipulative and overbearing....but i've come to learn so much more..... .
after years of traumatic disillusionment, i've begun to wonder if there really is a god/goddess, etc....or is this a state of mind/belief system that mankind has created to explain the inexplicable, answer the unanswerable, to put a spiritual bandaid on the tortured in mind, body and/or spirit.....and yet, tho our bodies wear out eventually, we are wonderfully "made"....and so many things here on earth are sympatico with our human existence and temperament.....yet....at the same time, we have adverse reactions to many things, too, whether vegetable, animal, mineral or even spiritual.....is this all only a contrivance of our imaginings, the result of our teachings among ourselves?.

>I wonder how many of us are caught in the same situation I am in?
I feel the same way, I wouldn't say I went on a massive search mission to discover God, Jesus, or anything spiritual, but the lack of concrete proof for most beliefs has a very negative impact on my opinion of them.
More recently I've tried keeping a very open mind when confronted with new beliefs, I think everyone is entitled to their own belief system, and as long as they're happy with it thats excellent.
I don't seem to have a belief system, which I do criticise myself for though..
I guess because I've never felt 'in touch' with a greater being, or sensed that there was a god out there that really cared what we as insignificant particles in the the universe (in our current form) did or thought, I'm also really sceptic about other peoples accounts of psychic experiences and spiritual enlightment.
I just can't relate to their experiences -

In All Honesty, Are You A Happier Person Now Than when You Were A JW?
by minimus injws say, "the apostates are miserable!!
".....do you feel miserable?
(i don't).

I'm happy in that I can pretty much do what I want without thinking what the
consequences would be if 'the elders found out'
that I've got a lot more time I'm on my hands, not having to spend time making
up excuses for not going out in field service and not going to meetings and
not preparing properly
happy to be free of a mind controlling cult, jc who wouldn't be!!!
unfortunately there is plenty of unhappiness that has come from coming out
as well, family relationships are now none existent, all the questions about
creation, etc have suddenly become unanswered, trying to figure out how the
world really works, how to interact with people, how to react to situations
i've never come across before etc.
On the balance of things though, I am a lot happier now than I was the last
couple of years I was in, and the time period immediately after coming out.
What does trigger feeling miserable is seeing what the society is doing, and
the large number of people that are still deluded and new one becoming deluded
and getting sucked into something thats going to have a real negative impact
on their lives if not ruin them completely -
