I'm developing a presentation for when they visit, I want to work in the whole" lemon party" theme that is the governing body in NY, no one should google that if they don't know what it mean, just don't go the bethel in expecting anything less than full on bath house action.

How many hours of service do I need to put in to get out of this armatwisten? What if i put in double that, do I get to bring my CD collection? Imagine if only JW's were the only ones left, I'm not so sure I want in. XJWs yes, especially the interesting, cool, fun, ones who are living life to the fullest and making the world a better place. If they aren't going to have Santa Clause parades I'm out for sure, I want to go where the dogs go and all that.

Thank you, good advice. I can only imagine what people who have spent a life time suffering must feel, I only had a small attack. thanks again. Deep down I know these things, but it seems to help to hear it from other.

It sort of sounds like the beginning of a joke. I sort of gave them shit and my wife who knows very little about my JW past was sort of suprised. I realized how angry i am for all the damage that has been done. I don't blame the ladies, just the whole org and all it's crap. I talked a bit to my wife about things and it sort of brought back some memories. A couple of things stood out. When I was a new guy going to my first convention in Toronto my book study guy warned me about the people who would be protesting the convention and all about them being apostates...and how i thought nothing of it and just wondered why they would want to leave gods perfect org? The other thing was the book study and talking about masterbation, and how it was wrong and not to do it. I just agreed with everything said and went with it without really questioning any of it. It makes me wonder what I was thinking at th etime. The further away i get from my last meeting the more insane and silly the whole things seems. I still can't believe I bought in to it. I guess I wanted to belong somewhere really bad. It's been about 20 years and it still comes back. Does this go away? Will I forgive my self for wasting all that time? take care. Marty

Just saw an elderly JW man...
by zengalileo inhe was walking with such a slump, dragging his feet, carrying a jacket, magazines barely visible just hanging from his fingertips.
if body language has any validity to it, this man was deeply discouraged and depressed.
i remember that slump too.

Should have accused him of being a Mormon just for a kicker.

I was never married while I was a member, but I still remember the desperation. Now that you mention it I did see
a few Great Dane -Tea Cup Poodle crosses.
Since I'm male and was about 24 at the time I got a lot of attention and that may be why I stuck around as long as
I did.

hi
I don't want to fit into any of those.
I have so many other things going on in my life those labels don't work into my schedule.

Thank you for the warm welcome,
I was a member of Applewood congregation in Mississauga, and another one in the same hall I can't remeber the
name. My brother became a member first and then I got intrested. I quickly took all the doctrine since I didn't have
anything in place. If they said there was no hell that was fine with me...I didn't care about that sort of stuff, with AIDS
really hitting it made perfect sense not to use blood products at the time.
At about two years in I started to realize that it wasn't the perfect world with the perfect people. I liked all the dinner
parties and community and I just sort of slowly drifted away. I had made a few friends and I really felt for some of the
family people since they were so tied up in all the bull XXXX.
I was trying to make a living and do other things and all the time studing and meeting, service ....it was imposible to
have a real life, which I guess is the whole idea.
I would have been 24 at baptism and studied for a year or so before that, so I was the right age for this sort of mind control.
My childhood home was sort of broken up with lots of problems so I guess I was ripe for the net.
Thanks again for the hellos. Marty

Hi All,
New guy from Toronto. Just enjoying the posts.
I haven't been to a meeting in years, I was baptisted 1990. It seems like yesterday. It was not a
big deal for me to leave since I had no family ties or much else to leave behind, but I still have a few
issues. Thanks again,
Marty
