The Martian, I must ask, why are you on this site knowing it's a no-no?
I was thinking the same thing?

Angry
i remember having to dress up for every meeting even the ones during the week.
i had to wear a botton down shirt dress pants, a tie, dress shoes, dress socks and a blazer.
this was also required by my parents to dress up when going door to door.
Was it ever an option that you didn't have to dress up? I remember being repremanded for wearing a suit with dress pants because I had a third degree burn from a motorcycle on my leg. I was told how unappropriate it was for me not to wear a dress.
On another occasion my 16 year old son got out of work very late and went to the book study straight from work. He was admonished for not having a suit on. I was so angry I remember. I couldn't believe that instead of encouraging a young one for coming, they picked on him for what he was wearing. He stopped going to all meetings shortly after that. I think back now. and I should of stopped attending then as well, it took me another 10 years.
in the early days the dinosaurs roamed the earth.
the tyrannosoras rex would tear into the brontosauras with great shrieks of glee from jehovah and the angels.
the large dinos are all gone but some of the smalller ones survived.
I am just blown away that you can blame Jehovah.... ITS a wild animal... the people were in the animals space. I can't believe they didn't relocate the cat either.
I actually thought this was real article with the pictures added. Please rape is a violent crime and not a joking matter.

Ok guys and gals,Re: OKM 09/07 (english)- Just another brick in the wall...
This is unbelievable. I can't believe they would have the balls to put this in print. Thanks for posting
i have been trying to reconnect with my fleshly family for over a year now, since i left the jws.
for some reason, i find it extremely difficult.
i don't find them to be very giving or caring people.
OMG is my family crazy/disfunctional..... I am going to write a book someday. I WILL BE RICH!!!! If only we never got involved with the JW"S I wonder how different things would be!
"when i was in the truth....".
"since i left the truth"..... do you still find yourself using jw terminology?.
no I call it the False now. Its really hard to change your way of life. I hate it when people are referred to as "worldly" or "bad association" I make every concious effort now not to use that other language. Did you ever have a conversation with someone other than a JW and watch their faces get all twisted up when they can't figure out what your talking about when you use all the JW languages. Its funny!! Here is a story you'll think is funny... I was talking to a workmate about someone she knew. I asked her if the other person was a witness.... she looked at me and said "witness to what??" A murder? I died laughing.
are you 100% sure that leaving the organization was the right decision?
Not really afraid... I used to question myself alot. Scriptures kept going through my head. But its getting easier but its been a long time - Deprograming, and when you still have family in its harder I think because your always reminded. I would NEVER go back though. I don't miss that horrible routine. Work ,rush home stuff food in our mouths, (thats if we got the chance to eat) go sit for 2 hrs. come home and hit the bed all to start over the next day. Off nights were left for errands and cleaning house. IT sucked. I love my life now, I can actually say... Sometimes I get bored at night with nothing to do.
