Yes, I realize now that what I felt for many years while around JW's was a disconnection of sorts. I felt like I had nothing in common with them, and felt obviously that I was the bad guy, not them. This probably started in my teens. Honestly, I never remember feeling disconnected when talking to people that were not JW. It's always been easy for me to talk to most people, excepting the teenage puberty shyness awkward phase.

Do you sometimes feel really disconected from people?
by Aphrodite ini thought i had been going really well in my life until my mothers recent attempt at shunning me.

My avatar is the latest joke that my JW-but doubting mother sent me the other day. She just became computer lit. and sends me all kinds of stuff all the time.
sooner7nc- because I've used the name on so many other websites, passwords, etc. for so long, and am too lazy to try and remember something else, and because I'm a big Okie Sooner fan and they've won 7 national championships in football.

That sound bad doesn't it?

You know it's the Truth though right?
by freedomfighter insince i have been out i have bumped into witnesses at the supermarket where i work, as you do.
some have the balls to say "hi" and "hang in".
others have bigger kahunas and actually talk to me - this doesn't go unappreciated by me.

What really gets me is the people who aren't living up to the org's standards, yet still insist that it is the truth. I have an associate (former MS) who left his JW wife 2 years ago, has slept with several (10 to 15) women since, smokes, carries a gun, and recently claims to have started cleaning his life up. He's stopped smoking, and has started attending again, in fact his JC is in a couple weeks. The other day, he tells me about his JC, and how he needs to get straightened up, and in the next breath tells me about a girl he's met in Georgia while visiting his sister, and how he's gonna "tear her ass up" when he goes back in the next few weeks.
The kicker of all this is when he finally finds out my feelings on the JW matter, it will probably lead to a physical confrontation. He's hyper-aggressive, very confrontational, and always has to be right. I'm not looking forward to it.

Once upon a time, L. Ron Hubbard was driving his Buick through South Central Los Angeles near the intersection of Crenshaw Blvd. and Slauson. He was listening to a taped conversation between Phillip J. Corso and Michael McDonald from MadTV. Their conversation was concerning the effect of the current Somali regime upon the other Governments of East Africa. L. Ron bent down to adjust the treble input on his Sherwood amplifier, and ran his car into a light Poal. He died in route to Calvin Broadus memorial hospital.
OK there's my name if you can find it.
