  here's mine:.

  title: "i yam what i yam".

  i think farting is funny.. when an old ac/dc song comes on the radio, i turn the volume to the max even though it makes the speakers crap out.

  How did you come to JWD ?

  by oldflame in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i came to jwd back in 2001, i was under a different name then.

  i do not remember if i was introduced by gumby who is a dear friend of mine or if i had found this site through freeminds.org i was when i first came here pretty bitter as i went through pure hell with the jw faith and my family who are jw.. i was ready for a fight, and ready to rip anyones head off if they crossed me wrong.

  i was bitter at the religion for almost fooling me twice as i was a mormon in my teenage years.

  I wasn't even my choice...should it count?

  by findingmyway in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i can't help thinking that if i had never gotten baptized out of loyalty and fear of disappointing my parents (and fear of having my flesh eaten by birds of prey after being destroyed in armageddon), i would not be in this situation.

  i have several family members and former friends who were raised as jws, but never got baptized, and they never have to experience the angst and pain that i have to experience.

  i was baptized and never dedicated my life.

  Describe the WILDEST JW party you ever attended!! no seriously......

  by kid-A in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i realize this is totally context and culturally dependent, but the old toronto jw youth scene was quite wild during the years 1984-1994. .

  one example, a group of about 40 jw kids would go up to a ski resort (usually mount st.louis/moonstone or blue mountain) over the x-mas week-end.

  one year we rented out a block of rooms in a resort close to the ski lodge.

  JWs picking and choosing which rules to follow

  by kristyann in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone else find that many, many jehovah's witnesses pick and choose which rules they want to follow?

  my boyfriend's parents are jws and i have many, many examples to share with you!

  i'd love to hear if any of you have known of similar type things, or if you know any other rules that jws commonly break.
