a bizarre decision!!!
by digderidoo inhi guys...i just wanted to share with you all something that happened over the weekend, that i found really weird.. on saturday i went to a cousins wedding.....we are quite a large extended family, not jw's(only my mom is a witness), so it was nice to be with the family on such special occasions.. throughout the evening i sat down with a cousins husband, who i hadn't seen for about two years.
we had a pint and he decided to get out a pack of cigars.
now these cigars were big fat ones (you know the cuban type)...he lit up.

Don't get me wrong francoise, i do have independant thinking....i have left the WTBTS for many years...
I think however that it was more to do with being judged by my mom, rather than the societies views...
My mom has to come to terms with the fact that i am never going back...seeing me smoking would possibly upset her.
Yet i think that somehow anyone who has left the org, independent thinker or not, still makes the odd decision or still acts a way in certain circumstances that reflects their past.Yours dig

boob jobs and sisters
by jurs inwarning: this is a very shallow post.
now that i'm out, i'm trying to see the humor of my past life as a jw.
when i was new in the truth , only baptized 4 months, i became good friends with this one sister.

I once went out with a girl who had a boob job...
Don't want to appear corny, but although they looked and appeared very nice, when it comes to touch there's nothing like the real thing...

Hi guys...I just wanted to share with you all something that happened over the weekend, that i found really weird.
On Saturday I went to a cousins wedding.....we are quite a large extended family, not JW's(only my mom is a witness), so it was nice to be with the family on such special occasions.
Throughout the evening i sat down with a cousins husband, who i hadn't seen for about two years. We had a pint and he decided to get out a pack of cigars. Now these cigars were big fat ones (you know the Cuban type)...he lit up. I said to him that they smell nice....he offered me one.
Now then...dilemma.
I am not a smoker...but i have smoked the occasional cigarette when i'm out having a drink with friends. I've smoked the occasional cigar....which i enjoy, and from time to time i smoke a bit of weed (as some of you are aware, when i'm stoned in chat). Now here he was offering me a cigar and i really fancied one.
The dilemma.....my mom was there.
She has never saw me smoke, knows i've had the occasional smoke but never saw me.
I refused the cigar.
Later that evening i noticed one of my cousins...a 17 year old girl, sitting down on a table, with her mom having a cigarette.
Here I am 31, divorced, three children....my own apartment, my own business...worried about the attitude i would receive from my mom for smoking!...and there was my 17 year old cousin smoking in front of her mom without a care in the world.
How bizarre!!! Yet funny...
I did explain the situation to my mom afterwards....although she is a witness, we have a strong relationship, she can be openminded. She said she would have thought i was an idiot for smoking, although she wasn't being judgmental (yeah right).
Isn't it wierd how the 'truth' still affects decisions you make?

Jumping from one cult to another?
by amused1 ini stumbled across this site doing research for a paper.
you all have much greater problems and common mental flaws than just being "former" jw's.. let me explain.
many (i won't generalize all of you) of you are on here ranting and raving about the jw's did this and the wt did that.

Amused,
You appear to be confused....do you really believe that those that use this site, have no other interests?
Do you think that by leaving the WTBTS we have somehow replaced that gap with this site?
Many of us here (and yes i am speaking generally)are well balanced individuals, successful in our chosen fields, and enjoy life to the full.
Please do not think that we have come here just to bitch about the way we were brought up.
We have all chose to live our lives in individual ways, we all now differ in our personalities....yet we choose to come here to talk to others who have a similar background as ourselves.
Let me ask you, if you get to know a work colleague or a student friend, and then find out after a few months that he/she grew up as a witness, how do you then feel about this person?...this has happened to me on a few occasions...and let me tell you that you suddenly have a common bond. There is something special about the relationship you now have with that individual.
Well here on this site their are many individuals who i have a common bond with, many friends, many who i have got to know, even though i've only been logged here for a couple of months.
This site however is not the centrepiece of my life as you seem to so foolishly assume.Yours dig

Real quick... what kind of 'man', Adam...
by AGuest inmay you all have peace (and i will try to keep this brief - yeah, right!).
when using and thinking of the word 'man', most people think that it only applies to humans, physical people.
for it is only flesh with spiritual blood... holy spirit... and not 'earthly' blood, red hemoglobin... that can enter into the kingdom.

Hi silentlambs
I just read your post....moving...
Myself, i cannot attend the meetings as so many things mentioned from the platform anger me...
I wonder how you manage to sit through a meeting without standing up and shouting out, knowing what those certain individuals have done???

NEW RELIGION! NEED INPUT!
by TR inthis is sort of a take-off of the "what should the wt do" thread.. i need to get together a board of directors and elect a president and officers.
we need to figure out a doctrine, a manifesto, and a set of disciplinary rules.
we need to figure out a way to fund our new movement.
