I love my saturdays......

i woke up this morning and made coffee and we are planning on eating a big breakfast and then doing a hike to a waterfall where we can play in the water and pick wild blueberries.

it got me thinking how wonderful it is to have my weekends to myself now.

when i was a dub i would skip out on service a lot but the whole day was ruined for me because i'd feel guilty for not going out in service.

Who Pioneered?

my two sisters did the right thing, pioneering straight out of school, janitoring to pay for the petrol (one didn't even bother with her final year of school).

it was this kind of fine example that got me guilt-tripped into auxiliary pioneering just after getting baptised at age 20. i only lasted six months; i took a holiday in queensland and returned not knowing much more about life but at least that it's bigger than my little congregation.

i despised the field service, i dreaded the daily schedule and every morning i was on my way out there was this awful countdown from the alarm going off to the first door opening, knowing that it's just a big setup to another depressing humiliation.

How to leave Jehovah's Witnesses (fairly) painlessly...
by DubBeachBabe in

posted this as a response on another thread, but i know there are people who want this as a new discussion.

i'm sure there are many good people watching these discussions who know you want to leave, but also know that this is what may await you - family alienation and pain.

if you haven't already overtly left, my advice to you is this: don't succumb to the disfellowshipping process.
