About 10 years ago this girl was all over me in a nightclub...unknown to me a couple of my ex jw mates had told her that i was well blessed...when we got back to hers, she was ever so disappointed...

What's the biggest lie/rumor that has ever been told about YOU?
by VampireDCLXV inmost of us here know what a hypocritical, backstabbing bunch of gossips many of the jw's tend to be.
far too often, a jw wont tell you to your face what's eating them, but they'll sure tell others.
when i started waking up (the second time around) this made me very paranoid.

Do You Blame Your Current Life's Issues Because You Were A JW?
by minimus indo you tend to blame your problems on the fact that you were a jehovah's witness?.

I used to, but then who's to say that i wouldn't have had problems if my life had gone in another direction.
I remember discussing the fact i didn't take higher education due to being a JW with another recovered alcoholic. This guy is a very intelligent guy, went to grammar school as a kid, very studious, never went to higher education himself and now works as a tiler. He said he could relate to me not going to university because he didn't go as he thought the world was going to be destroyed by a nuclear bomb, so why bother. In his teens the nuclear arms race was at it's strongest, so he never bothered going to uni, thinking it would be a waste of time.
It really got me thinking, that there could always have been other reasons for my life not going in the direction that i wanted.
What matters now is the here and now, and where i want to be in the future. It's futile looking back, even non-ex jw's have made mistakes, we all do, at some point we all wish our life was better.
Speaking personally, i had to accept that what has happened in the past has already happened, there's no point dwelling on it, no point wondering what if, no point wondering why....just accept that it's happened and look forward.

what if i told you that the same calculator could give you two different answers depending on what symbol you used for the division. It should make no difference.
would every one agree that the following are equal 1/2 and 1÷2
yet copy and paste the following equations into the calculator i am giving you a link to
6÷2(1+2)=x
6/2(1+2)=x
Google gives the answer as 9 for both.
