hi there, i was just thinking about the whole thing.
when your are raised as a jw you cant have girlfriend or boyfriend and you must "feel that the other are superior than you", you must be very humble.
youve become an socially inadpted wussy.
I don't want to enter a debate but "Innocence"is a turn off for women and its "Field Tested" by hundreds of people
Ah ok so you're chasing the silly coo's that want their men to act like gangstas and to be treated with a complete lack of respect. They end up getting burnt, pregnant, dumped and eventually sentenced to a life without love. Fine I didn't know you wanted to date losers, sorry.
lucifer's best friend moved away sunday for at least 5 months, but she has an open ticket so if she doen't like it she can come home any time.
now the favor i would like to ask is....can you all send her hugs?
she is down in the dumps!

Awwwww you're looking at it negatively
First off, Knocking on doors, talking to complete strangers about BS, sucking up to them to place your literature will really increase your flirting ability. You might not know it yet but trust me on this. You have the ability to go up to any girl and chat her up.
Secondly worldly girls will find your "worldly innocence" a complete turn on. You're different than the rest of the sleezeballs that hit on them, you know how to be nice and a lot of girls will love you for this.
are you supposed to enjoy field service?
find joy in god's work?
i hated service, hated getting up early, hated wearing dresses/skirts,hated bugging people early on the weekend, hated "preparing" for service (all i did was read the little blurb on the inside of the awake lol) hated being grouped with elder ihatecoffeebreaks and sister letsdoonemoredooreventhoughits12.......one day brother ihatecoffeebreaks asked me why my time was dropping in service and i said "because i hate service" ( i mean i was taught to be honest right?
I am also deathly afraid of dogs and It was always my turn to go to the door when there was a crazy barking dog
We used to have an elder who'd always pipe up about daniel and the lion and that Jehovah would never allow any of us to be attacked while doing his work.
One day he got bit.
lol

Looking back on it some of my best memory's of being in the truth are of being out on the service WITH MATES. A lot of our territory was out in the country and i used to love driving about going to places that I'd not been to in a while. However I really really hated doing it with "brother or sister rodupmyarse" they were usually the stepford wife type that you had nothing in common with. You'd spend the whole time avoiding saying something that would stumble them and inwardly flinching when they said something really dorky to the house owner.
The worst of the worst though was STREET WITNESSING. I'd rather be tied stark naked to a pole in the middle of the town on a Saturday afternoon than do that. That was so Embarrassing! The things we'd put ourselves through to flog *their* magazines
question:.
it seems that there is a high rate of depression amongst jws.
does the jw religion cause depression, or are depressed people drawn to the jws?.
Have you heard the kingdom melodies?
Music to slit your wrists to !
ok folks, i know there are some creative people on this board so help me out here.
i'm successfully fading so far, but every now and again i get some well meaning zealot ask me about my missing the 5 weekly brainwashing sessions and the priviledge of hocking crap door to door.
as sort of a reverse reasoning book, lets see some good conversation stoppers that wont give away my position.
"I have Lice"
lol
hi everyone, i have a question about tattoos.
i was told by a jw that getting a tattoo was going against jehovah, and that he forbid them is that true?
is it wrong?
Tattooing was a no no under Mosaic law but that doesn't count for Christians. the only reason i got done for it was because the elders thought it gave a bad witness. I was also warned that "if" i did it again and got a dragon or something satanic / pagan then I'd be for it.

possibly someone else who was around in the 1975-1980 time frame will remember this:.
it seemed to be that prior to 1975, the message on children was "wait until the new system".
however, it seemed to me at the time that after 1975 there was a popularization of child bearing.
I remember at the 89 assembly the idea of having children was poo pooed, I particularly remember because I was seeing a sister that didn't want any and this announcement more or less justified her views .She was even worse a few weeks later when there was a watchtower study about it, "Woe to the pregnant women and those suckling a baby in those days!" and all that
Cheers WBTS for f**king up my life!

how many people did you bring into the truth, what was there reaction to you fading, daing or getting df'd and do you feel guilty about it now?
Yesterday was an assembly day, and many asked about me and cried when they were told what happened. Do I feel guilty? Not one bit. They cry because they think Im dead. Well Im not dead. They are only treating me as though I were.
I faded away so haven't had didn't have to face up to that whole guilt trip about not being repentant and "forcing people into not being able to talk to me" (Thats pretty sick reasoning but its the way witnesses work)
So you're (practically) "dead" now :) At least they seem to have gotten over the "Matts Mentally ill" thing :)
I was thinking about that whole congregation gossip thing that happens when someone DA's or Df''s, saying someones "mentally ill" is there way of trying to accept you don't want to be like them without pardon the pun demonising you. I've heard all kinds of stuff in the past about fallen publishers, they must think alot of you.
