What shocked you first, into realizing the world was not like the JW's?

i left the witnesses in 1997. i was trying to make new friends and met some people through the gym.

my spouse and i went to their house for some dinner, and we thought it would be a great time.

also, we wanted to get to know people that were not witnesses and get a foot-hold into our new life.

"The end of the hundred year time has passed! That means this is the beginning of the next time period. Aren't we glad to live in these exciting days?"

"Not again."

My friend and I used to say "Dag" (still do) all the time and one time my Dad told me I shouldn't say that.

When I made the mistake of asking why, get ready now, he said "Because it is a derivative of "Dagon the fish god!"

To this day whenever something goes wrong I shout, "Dagon! Why have you forsaken me?"

We love to say that now and it is a huge joke between me and my friends.

I asked my dad a little while ago about it and he denied ever saying it. But I know for a fact he did. I think he's embarrassed. I always bust his balls about it.
