  as a born in, or in at a very young age, what were your worst memories as a young jw child?.

  i remember not being allowed to go to sleep in the meetings when i was tired.

  not being allowed to do lots of things at school other kids could do.

  The dread of telling my classmates and friends that I was JW and trying to explain the bullshit to them. That dread would almost choke me.

  My visible pregnancy was what set her off.

  So, she would rather worship the murdergod and his publishing company than be there when her daughter's pregnant.

  I'm so sorry that you're being put in this position. I wish you the best.

  Books and movies that have influenced you since learning the truth about the Truth

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me it has been a journey through these books: "crisis of conscience", "in search of christian freedom", "combatting cult mind control", "releasing the bonds", "i'm perfect you're doomed", "confessions of a teenage jesus jerk", "evolution for dummies", "the god delusion", "god is not great", and "the end of faith", along with various books about zen philosophy.. these movies have also been important: "religulous" and "worlds apart".. some books i am interested in reading next are "the spanking room", "growing up in mama's club", and "1984".

  who has read these?

  do you recommend them?.

  Why you love America

  by jamesmahon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it struck me, as i guess it has a lot of people, that there are so many threads from both americans and the rest of us that seem to descend into america bashing.

  i thought it might be quite nice to have a thread solely (and i mean solely - if this just turns negative i will call foul) on what we think is great about america.

  as a brit who has lived and been over a number of times there are many parts about america that i think are great and thought is would be healthy to have a positive thread for a change.. so a starter for ten (with a few gross generalisations thrown in):.

  Wild Turkey 101, the Oklahoma Sooners, 1911's, AR-15's, and the Great State of Texas. That's enough for me.
