profanity
by janitorforlife in
1. jw
2. friends
my disfellowshipped dad told me leaving "the truth" had not been good for me as i used too much profanity and liked to drink.

when i first became "free" i guess i went overboard with profanity and enjoyed the freedom to go to bars if i wanted.

they were novelties.
