daniel-P,
How dare you mock. I have accepted the Amazing Batboy into my heart and have FELT HIS POWER.
From the glorious entrance of His presence into my soul, I have but to desire anything and it immediately falls into my lap. ...as it were...
Like that hot guy at the bar the other night. Face first. And he had drugs too. :)

I feel more sheepish than most here, I fear. -And another Californian...
In my COLLEGE botany class we were supposed to do a paper on what we thought was the most important plant to the human race (like most did theirs on rice, maize, poppies etc).
Well, guess what plant I chose???
The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad. In COLLEGE. Complete with a "Thorough Witness". And I truely felt sooo righteous about it. I really actually made me feel good.
Now it sort of makes me want to wretch. I really don't think I could tell anyone who knows me now about that...
Hopefully this will help purge that horrible memeory. I recently wrote that professor about that whole paper/where I am now but haven't heard back from him. It's been a few weeks. I think he is avoiding someone who he feels is a total nutcase...
It was one of my more cringe-worthy moments as a JW.

Yeah, its amazing how afraid I was of apostates -now, for the life of me I can't think what it was that freaked me out...?
Maybe it was a sort of nagging fear in the back of my mind that they would say somehting that would confirm any little doubt that I had been squelching...?
Weird. I also thought that apostates were just out to cause the JWs as much harm as possible, lie about them because they had been "jilted" (df-ed) and now had a "sour grapes" attitude about the JWs. I also thought they were totally wasting their time and needed to get a life outside of being apostates.
But, you know, that was the only thing I knew about them- that they were apostates. It helped when some folks I knew and liked "turned apostate" (must be said with evil glare in eye) and I knew that they had lots of stuff going on in their lives... and that started turning ove waht I thought I knew about apostates.
Wow- sorry for that long and not too interesting ramble about what my thought process was....
I guess we all sort of know why the JWs are afraid of us- At least most of us were afraid of evil apostates at one time in our lives. - Lucky, those that weren't ever afraid. I was too much of a good dub-girl.

Luna--- I totally thought I'd catch a clue!!!!! that made me wasnt to run, fully clothed, down the street, screaming!! -

Do you think it`s hard to have a relationship after you leave?
by dido ini have been out for 4 years now, and find it hard to meet someone who i find is compatible.
one of the reasons being is that they haven`t experienced what it is like to come out of a cult, and i find there is a void there.
does anyone else feel like this?

Thanks, looking_glass, I really am trying to get better at that. I tend to be a little judgemental and when I get a handle on that I find that interesting encounters of all kinds tend to fall into my lap. (didn't mean to make that sound dirty...)
It is amazing how people pick up on subconcious type stuff like that- it is so obvious to me how people react so differently to me when I am feeling positive and accepting than when I am being a huge grump.

Yes! -It was so hard to have real relationships after the JWs. I mean both platonic and romantic ones.
I think the big obstacle to overcome is to get past the "us vs them" mentality that we have had indoctrinated into ourselves for our whole lives. -That's a whopping 20 YEARS for me... Hard to see normal people as on our side.
There is this sort of intrinsic relating that I always had with witnesses - Like I'm sure a lot of you, like myself could have a great conversation/time with anyone they just met who they found out was a witness (back when we were in).
I want to feel that way about people who are not witnesses. It's hard though.

Please don't take offence at this ...
by Joe Grundy ini'm not a jw, never have been, and in no danger of becoming one.. having read several of the wt mags and publications (and many more extracts on this and other sites) they come across to me as being very patronising in tone and full of pseudo-scholarship, misquoted (or unnamed) sources, references taken out of context, mis-translations, etc.
i'm aware of jw 'teaching' on the subject of higher education for its members (i.e.
not a good or necessary thing) so i can understand why many jws raised in it may not challenge the publications.
