Anyone else end up on a JC after losing their virginity?
by yaddayadda in
1. jw
2. friends
yep, i did.

i got 'privately reproved' after rushing to the elders to confess my sin after losing my virginity via fornicating.

i think all that shame and guilt and legalism that flowed on from that experience must've f*cked me up a bit, scuse the pun.

by Lumptard in
1. jw
2. friends
my apologies if this has been done to death, but i was just curious how many of you feel that you have been socially crippled as a result of your association with the jws?

granted, this probably affects people who were raised as jws more than those who chose for themselves, but i just wanted to see if anyone else has had the same experience...also, how did you work through it if you were able to?

but, in my arguably limited experience, i've been shot down while doing all of these (at differnt times obviously).

so, what do women really want?

for those of you who had some evil in you, how did you hide the things that you didn't want your parents or fellow jws to find?.

i used to hide porn magazines under the carpet in my bedroom, and i had a gutted vcr that i used to hide my rap tapes (along with other things i can't remember).
