Heya Sccob
This year was the first memorial i did not go to for my whole entire life. Must admit I do feel a little numb about it.
of course i'll be there on thursday, its one of the very few meetings i go to.
i guess i'll make the same promises that i always do.
i must get back to the meetings soon, i'll see the po who always seems to make a beeline for me after, yes here's my number , phone me.
Heya Sccob
This year was the first memorial i did not go to for my whole entire life. Must admit I do feel a little numb about it.
i went to the kingdom hall for the very last time.
i went in the door in my guns n roses t-shirt and ripped up lucky jeans, new earrings and goatee.
i went up to the po of the congregation and told him i needed to talk to him.
Fantastic letter Dustin.
Good on you

the kingdom hall where i used to go has the theocratic ministry school and service meetings on tuesday.
i have finally come to grips with my need to exit the jehovah's witnesses forever.
i told my parents today that i'm leaving the jw religion behind forever.
Hi Dustin,
Good luck, hope it all goes well. You are very fortunate to have a father that will not shun you.
Thinking of ya
es
was your family a supportive one?
whether they were witnesses or not?
were they hard asses whether they were jws or not?
my fam life was rather stressful, dad being an elder was always checking up on my brother and I making sure we wernt doing anything to jeapodise his standing. And now that my brother and I no longer go to meetings, dad and mum are not very supportive of us.
my aunt loyal wife and uncle smooth talking elder were married over 30 years.
they had 4 children and he owned a small business.
he always employed witnesses.
It makes you sick doesnt it.
.
although i don't go to meetings anymore, i usually go to the memorial.
but this year, i couldn't go even if i wanted to..... my jw clothes don't fit me anymore.... i certainly won't spend 200$ just to go to one meeting.....
I have a few outfits that I could prob still fit in. i kinda miss not being able to wear high heels and skirts.
why can't jehovah witnesses go to the school prom?
i have always wondered this.
I was never allowed to go because a) there are boys there!!! b) you might actually dance with a boy....and that would be wrong...touching a boy before marriage.
Although in australia we dont have proms they were called formals and they wernt as big and special as a prom
bet that got your attention!
i spent 5 hours yesterday putting this puppy together.
call it my happy divorce present to myself.
OMG thats huge
prospects are told that jws are the "happiest people on earth".
right there with you jeanniebeanz
yesterday i had a bad day.
i know what depression means now.
not so sad, not so mad.
hope all is ok purplesofa we are here if you need us.
