  Well, I'm nauseated now. Gag inducing dramatizations at my DC

  by Lady Zombie in

  during the hour long symposium: empowered by holy spirit.

  under the part "to fight temptation," a little dramatization of a young married man doing some work on his laptop.

  he is tapping away when he suddenly slams his laptop shut.

  I find the example of the guy with the porn popping up on his "laptop" hysterical. I swear that is what the society would like all JWs to believe that if they even open their computer the porn will come pouring in randomly and without invitation.

  I find it just amazing that I have an online business and easily visit over 200 websites a month and have never had porn pop up on my latop or desktop. Why, because I don't visit those sites in the first place.

  It is a good thing I don't attend anymore because I would be that person talking quite loudly to all around me to hear and mentioning quite clearly that the internet doesn't work that way and he has obviously been a porn site visitor previous to this and NOW he is getting worried about it? Then maybe for additional effect I could stand up, point my finger and scream ADULTERER!!!

  Did you return to celebrating holidays?

  with this new light, i am starting to try and figure out what to do with my life and my time... now that the world is opened up for me to finally explore.. i have been wondering if i will return to celebrating the holidays with my 'worldly' relatives.

  my parents, brother, and in-laws are all witnesses.

  i have pretty much rejected the holidays say for 25 years.

  I was born in, married a nonJW but still didn't start celebrating until my son was born. My husband was great the first few years about me not being comfortable about celebrating anything but once our little guy came along I wanted to create those memories for him.

  My husband talks about all the great birthdays and holidays he had as a kid and I didn't want my son to miss out so we have been having a blast. I have very few memories of good times and/or parties as a kid and I think that is really sad.

  My parents are not invited to my house during December as it also includes my son's birthday. I do a faux Thanksgiving dinner with them and then shoo them away until the new year.

  It will be interesting this year as we are attending a family reunion over the 4th of July and all the relatives except for my parents are nonJW's. They were warned there would be a celebration and fireworks and they said they were okay with it, so we'll see. My little guy I'm sure will be running around with a good ole American flag in his hand

  As for never being able to enjoy them if you start, pshaw! It just takes practice and then it gets really fun!

  AZ Welcome! I too watched your video last night and cried along with you. It is amazing how long the pain of living a life in this religion lasts.

  Even though my post count is low, I visit here almost everyday so my best advice is to click on the "active topics" at the options menu near the top of the page. Be warned, some days it can be very active and you'll find several pages of posts from the day.

  Lots of people have information about their exit in their profiles which can give you a framework as to where they are coming from and their experience.

  Take your time, there is a lot to take in here but along with that there is an amazing amount of information, support and really cool people that hang out here :)

  I used sit during the wedding "talks" (note: NOT a ceremony) and wait, wait, wait...for the classic illustration of the squeezing the tube of toothpaste in the middle versus the end and how that could create tension in the marriage (wait for big laugh from congregation).

  Not sure what held me back from standing up and screaming "NOT AGAIN! NOT THIS FREAKING LAME ASS JOKE AGAIN!"

  Wow, all you had to do was change a few terms here and there and it was like reading someone's life story on here. They put some crazy pressure on people though! They work a lot harder at keeping their recruits than JW's do.

  First thing I'm doing is going over and crashing Restrangled's shower for some yummy food! :)

  Actually got up early and took my son to the first farmer's market of the year. Bought our tomato starts, some kettlecorn (currently munching on) and had some shaved ice with grape flavor. Bought him his sandals for the summer, went to our favorite Mexican restaurant for an early lunch.

  Came home to hubby having installed the window A/C and mowing the front lawn - yipppeee! Watered my hanging baskets that I received for Mother's Day (cause I can CELEBRATE it now!) and that is about it. I think I'm going to go take a nice nap now.

  don't know if anybody else has caught this yet but there is a very interesting phenomena going on youtube where former jws are posting videos titled "i am sorry that i knocked".

  i'm considering doing one and i would encourage any of you out there that can should post one up there too.

  from what i have found on youtube six people have done this so far.

  Come on...tell me what it is, I'm afraid to look. Is it the laughing zombie baby? I clicked on that one the other day after looking at super cute baby videos and it made me so sad....after I freaked out!
