  so i got home from a long day of work yesterday, and decided i was gonna go to the bar and chill out for a little while.

  so i'm sitting around talking to some other people i knew, when all of a sudden i see an ex-jw friend walk in.

  now he was never great association, but my parents just told me how he was doing so well spiritually in our monthly "why don't you come back to the hall" conversation.

  growing up in the jw religion and having a dad who was an elder, i remember how controlling they were.

  i find it amazing now just how much of my childhood i missed out on.

  i couldn't watch alot of t.v.

  Tuesdays and Thursdays

  by Dustin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for the longest time i used to hate tuesdays and thursdays.

  those were the nights of the bookstudy and the theocratic ministry/service meeting.

  every time when i was at school or work on these days, it seemed i was never in a good mood.

  2. friends

  were any of you the really obnoxiosly loud singer at the meeting?

  that always used to make me laugh when somone who couldn't sing just belted it out in their horrible voice.

  or i used to love the husband and wife duos that thought they were all that as they sat and tried to harmonize.

  Do you still Pray?

  by Dustin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.

  by Dustin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first met my wife, she was not a jw.

  i was baptized at the age of 12. to make a long story short, some of the other youths in the congregation followed my lead and took non jw boyfriends and girlfriends.

  well the brothers decided to point me out specifically as i was the only one who cared.

  2. friends

  i have a question for you guys.

  i just kind of took a fading away approach to the whole thing.

  i stopped going one day after years of abuse, and try not to look back.
