You know I remember that. Smurfs, and cabbage patch dolls that were supposed to be demonized. And then they wonder how I figured out it wasn't the true religion. The dolls were kinda creepy though.

Guilty Fast Food Pleasures
by Swan inokay, what is the one fast food that you just love, but are a little ashamed to admit to?.
a detective character (sue grafton's kinsey milhone) in some mysteries i read has these guilty fast food pleasures.
just about every day she runs for miles on the beach, but then she is invariably ends up ducking into the mcdonald's drive thru with her little vw and scarfing a big mac or quarter pounder.

I haven't, but I should. I'm dreading the elders coming around again. It's one of those things where I could just not answer, but I will anyway. So maybe I should make my own apostate tract for them. That's a damn cool idea.

Mormon dudes get to have like 20 wives. But then they usually treat them like crap. If I could have 20 wives I'd be nice to them. I'd be the best Mormon husband dude ever! I don't know about the whole sex to procreate thing though. That seems pretty lame. But you could get snipped, not tell anyone and then have 20 wives. Now that would be cool!

Hell yeah I believe in ghosts. But definitely not the good kind. If you want to get some of the crazy stories about a house my family lived in when I was a JW kid, feel free to ask. Crazy stuff.

Most of my friends are cast-offs of JW land like myself. Most of my friends who were never JW's laugh at me for ever being one in the first place. People who I meet now can't believe I ever was one. They're always like "You were a Jehovah" in that shocked tone. Then I say "Yep it was a freaky cult". Then they say, "That must have really sucked". That's where I usually get talking to them for a while and rip on the Oranization. That always makes me feel better.

I didn't hear about that, but it doesn't surprise me. My aunt's husband who was an elder, a missionary, and special pioneer was arrested and put in prison this last year. The reason was for statatory rape on a young girl he was supposed to be counseling. So nothing of that nature surprises me anymore. Crazy thing was, he really did seem like a nice guy.

Since I stopped being a JW I haven't prayed. So the other day I went to supper at my parent's house who are still JW's, and they prayed before we ate. It was a very strange feeling, and it stirred up alot of weird feelings. Since I stopped going to the Kingdom Hall I've had issues with trying to figure out if there really is a God. After your beliefs are shattered it leaves you wondering if anyone is really out there. I decided that I was going to try and pray again to see if it helped. But after two years of not praying, it felt the same as it did when I stopped. It just feels like no one is there on the other end of the prayer, and honestly it really never did. I don't know if I'm ready to write God off. But I don't feel like any organized religion is going to have the answers I seek. Maybe I'm just taking life too seriously. But I just don't know what to believe anymore. I would like to think that there's something better after this life. I remember when I was a kid and my parents were saying things like aren't you thankful to Jehovah for this, or for that? I was a little thankful, I thought God cared. But now I am starting to think that God isn't there. Maybe he never was. Maybe he just doesn't want to answer my prayers. Do any of you feel a connection to God? Do you still pray?
