Not to minimize the pain I know you must be going through, but... CONGRATULATIONS! I am actually quite jealous that you are officially no longer a JW!
And the pain will heal.

Borg court: 3rd session & verdict
by sd-7 inso...the third and final session was pretty straightforward.
they basically asked some more questions about the first woman, before i got back with the woman who became my wife.
then they asked what seemed like nothing more than a customer survey of "how are we doin'?

I remember standing outside the class every morning during the flag salute. That's where the teacher wanted me because her kids were in the military and she did not want to be offended by seeing me not saying the pledge.
I hated always having to do something "alternative" to whatever holiday activity was being done at school. If everybody else was coloring pictures of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, then I was coloring a picture of a kid playing in the snow or something.
I remember constantly saying prayers in my head asking forgiveness for my bad thoughts- in grade school! How normal is that for a kid?

I remember a "worldly" friend of mine in grade school started coming over to the house a lot. Then he started inviting me to parties. That was when my parents really put the clamps down on me.
A girl wrote in my high school annual, "I loved playing with you in grade school. In high school you kind of disappeared."
It was desperately lonely. My only approved association were the kids in the congregation. Guess what, Mom and Dad? Three of those kids were gay!
I had conflicted feelings my entire life because I was always attracted to girls who were not JWs.
I had a lot of potential artistically but the only thing you were supposed to do was serve the organization.
I feel really proud of myself now for trying to help my kids lead normal lives: celebrating holidays and hopefully going to college eventually.

by JimmyPage injust tonight i've worked out, done laundry, cleaned my daughter's room, read a chapter in a book, burned a cd and a dvd, sent some emails, and started a few threads here... and i'm probably forgetting a few things!.

Before you learned the real truth about "The Truth", did anyone try to help you get out of JWs?

I remember working with a fellow poster on this board one night at a KMart and he decided to grab a BB gun and take target practice at toilet paper rolls. He ended up hitting an overhead light so we had to find a ladder and a replacement bulb. Good times!

Which church has the best music?
by JimmyPage inback when i was "inactive" for the first time and single, a girl at the mall invited me to her church.
i had never set foot in another place of worship before and things started out with a bang, literally.
there was loud music- with live drums crashing out the beat.
