LEI, mudd, bongos; i luv junior clothes! never got to wear any of THOSE styles in dub land. and i must say i luv wearing mini skirts; it's great to go to a movie and throw on a miniskirt w/ flip flops or sandal wedges w/o the guilt trip of skirt length.

JW women focused on appearance!
by Sirona init really gets on my nerves.. jw women used to be always focused, as their number one thing, on appearance.
they could be crap at the rest of the jw stuff, but if they turned up at the meeting dressed nice, thin, long hair, looking nice, all was forgiven.
of course it was because of the misogyny (sp?

When I was a kid, I didn't want to be a JW.
by kwintestal ini'm thinking back to my childhood here, and remembering hanging out with my jw friends.
my buddies and i, when we were 9, 10 years old knew that we wouldn't stay jws.
we hated the restrictions that were put on us and hated being different.

Here's the irony, my super-dub dad would always say "how come there are hardly any doctors, attorneys <insert long-educated career path here> in dubbie land?"
then my sister and I would answer "umm, because the society discourages higher education and those professsions all require higher education."
then he would retort: "i mean, they could be worldly and get their education, then come into da troof" <with pre-installed doctorate, PHd, etc., i suppose>

How many of you are childfree by choice?
by rebel8 inby that, i mean you do not want to have children.. i have been told since birth it would not be safe for me to have children, so i never even considered it.
i never went through a grieving period because the concept of having babies was not something i once had and lost.
i always envisioned myself as a happy career woman.. i recently married and am still sure i don't want children.

Speaking from experience, i would have to say children are pretty much over rated. the bundle o' joy:aggrevation/huge expense ratio is way out of kilter. ESPECIALLY if you have a blended family/divorce situation on your hands.
It was different when we were all living on the farm and kids were viewed as helpful, cheery auxiliary farm hands.
I would NEVER criticize anyone for not having children; i think it's the smart move.

Cook at home or eat out?
by greendawn indo you know how to cook, even just a few simple recipes, or do you hate the idea of home cooking and prefer to always rely on restaurants and take aways, or just prepare easy snacks like sandwiches and melted cheese on toast?

Do you have a mental image of other posters on this site?
by dh ina lot of people here have posted their photo's, but i think the majority haven't... i sometimes wonder when reading posts on here, what person making those posts must look like, not that i want to see their photo, i just find it interesting... i recently got to see a photo of someone i have talked to on here since i first joined, and i had to say the person looked an awful lot like i had imagined, so i wondered if anyone else wonders about things like this?
is there a particular poster you have a mental image of?
care to share it and see if the person really looks like what you think they look like?

Does being a JW make a person physically sick?
by Gill indefinitely mentally and more than likely physically.. i have read on a few posts and freeminds about an increase of mental illness amoungst jws of between 2 and 40 % and it seems understandable considering the amount of stress being in the borg puts on people.. but what about physically?.
what are your experiences since leaving the borg?.
do you feel well and fitter than ever before?.

"As a witness you really have to be cynical enough to ignore WTS advice to avoid serious problems with mental and physical health. It is usually those who take it seriously that suffer most."
EXACTLY! i never suffered because i took everything with a "grain of salt." my only problem is that i was overweight, but quickly shed the pounds after fading from the borg.
