i thought this would be kind of fun to do is list some of the offenses that i have committed according to witness beliefs.
i thought it might be mildly amusing considering the lack of emphasis that any of these things are wrong according to the majority of the population.
i'll limit myself to ten.
I was trying to limit the number of offenses I committed. Speaking of confessions though, ironic isn't it how judicial meetings can be used as typical catholic confession truly.
Opps I slept with another guy.
Elders I'm sincerely sorry.
Reproof.
Recovery of status.
"sin" again.
Oh no, but it's different cause it's the "truth"
how did you feel?
what was your situaltion with the jw's?.
personally i had left by daing myself 2 and a half years ago.
I was recommended to it by Joannadandy, though the first time I read it I wasn't sure what to think.
Finally after lurking around it for a time and laughing so hard often I had tears in my eyes on the jokes made about it I joined and started to post yesterday.
For a good portion of my life I pretended to be a good witness because my family was in it, and I didn't want to lose that. Even before that, I had doubts though just never said anything about it. At 11, when baptized I guess I really knew what I wanted from my life. Since my disfellowshiping and reinstatement I've been kind of a rogue witness if there is such a thing. I don't buy the bs, but knew all the pain at having all my support almost taken for living as most people do.
I know continued access to here will help me as I make my last break from it. It continues to amaze me how blindly people do follow it. I was raised with nothing else, but for any organization to force a choice between it and family, that's not natural.
Glad I finally decided to post.

LOL@Joannadandy, yes you were there. Maybe for fond memories I should put a welcome mat below one of the windows at my place.
Ohhhhh I know it's going over 10, but since I'm already going to witness hell.
11. I have done several ouija boards, there are a few in my house at this moment.
12. I own and use a deck of tarot cards.
13. I have had premarital sex, and enjoyed it, thoroughly.

Feel free to add your "sins"
i just got home from a dub "party".
it was very tame, seemed to be choreographed, and i was just shocked.. for one thing, everyone there was my age or older.
these people are young adults.. yet, it felt like the jr. high dance.
I know what you mean. But you never know- some of the might be like you, just perhaps a better actor!
That would be me to the nines, but I guess I finally got tired of the whole "act", though presently still under the pretense of being one I scare my witness parents to death because I did many unpredictable things and they know I'm not "spiritually strong" ROFL. I think I'm going to start another topic.

Or maybe the clever goats led the sheep to the cliff and then did a fake out ran behind them and head butted them over the cliff.
Yes, that's the theory I'm sticking with.

I remember one jw party that I went to that some guy I was talking to mentioned he wouldn't empty the ashtrays at his work because cigarettes were gross and also tainted and finding that funny even being young.
Often the main witness parties feel very jr high, the boys and girls self seperate.
There were lots of wild witness parties though too, but shhhhhh you never talk about those LOL.
mom and i went to have a bite to eat at one of her favorite restaurants which is in a casino.
lo and behold as we were leaving in walks 5 of her dub friends who were going to eat at the same place.
she was talking and talking and i got tired of standing there being ignored so i walked away and started playing the slots which was well in their eye site.
As someone still tiptoeing around the whole organ locally I've known many many many who go to the casinos to eat (they still do). I've gone and gambled myself and sometimes eaten. Around here there really doesn't seem to be much stigma with it, though I'm sure there'd be a meeting if you put in a nickel.

I always was more fond of goats too, they are funny to watch and definitely not "followers". With the sheep story first thought that came to mind though its not true is "lemmings".
