So mindless i purposely show up late so i can miss the first song. Then go to the bathroom so i can miss the second.At at the Third i just mouth the words or hum so i dont have to sing that mindless drival. Oddly enough up untill last night i was listening to the kingdumb melodies to fall asleep I had used to smoke pot for 5 years and always needed that night cap to be able to got to bed. But when i cleaned up and moved back home i started listening to the songs to fall asleep( i had used to do that untill i was 17. At 24 though i said wait a second let me try listening to some music i really like. So no more kingdumb melodies to fall asleep for me

So anyways im still going to meetings cause of my folks, my dad mainly. But i stopped wearing the jacket, it is actually quite liberating. Ive also started wearing a chain with the NA( narcotics anonymous) Logo on it. When the bros ask what is it and i tell them the say "why are you wearing that to the meeting, I simply say "cause i want to". I also started wearing shades to the meeting, An elder asked are those perscription or are they just to look cool My response to look cool. Not being baptized they can do didily-squat. I truly am the black sheep of the flock Lol. On another note i always comment at every meeting so my mind dont turn to mush and i always make a very good point. Like this thursday during the bible highlights we were reveiwing john 8-11. I scanned it to find a scripture i liked and saw the begining of chap 8 which is in small print at the bottom because supposedly it was omitted from certain manuscripts but i think its because of its content. Any ways it was about the scribs and pharisees bring the women who commited adultery and how acording to the mosaic law she should be stoned. This is were Jesus say the famous quote "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" NWT( Let he who is sinless throw the first stone) so they all leave one by one and long story short Jesus forgives her. I mention this and tied in the splinter in you bros eye while you got a rafter in your own eye and said what jesus is telling us that before we judge others we need to do our own "self examination". I know the bro didnt want to call on my cause i was the jacket-less, rolled up slave, NA chain having, shade wearing black sheep, Of the cong. But i said what i had to say and i made all those stone throwing rafter having Judger's of others think. Unless they tuned me out. Not everyone can handle a free mind. :-p Peace

So any ways i lost my job last week and decided to grow a goatee. I stay with my dad and we were having a conversation and he pointed at my goat and said "shave that" I said no. He said JWs dont have beards. Not being baptized myself i could've pointed out that technically im not a dub but instead i said 'Jesus had a beard". To my surprise my dad said no he didn't those pictures of jesus from christendom where he has long hear and a beard are false he had short are and was clean shavin. I instantly grabbed a copy of the greatest man book and showed him a pic of jesus with beard. And the 12 apostles with beard. and all of his followers with beard. Only person without beard was a roman solder. I said see christian's have beards and non christian don't so there. His response was " i stand corrected" he admitted he was wrong only when i showed from jw books Wonder what else i can convince him?

I hate the way they make him feel so small because hes only able to do a couple of hours a month. On a positive note i got to talk to the elders and postpone the Baptism Questions(Praise the lord) To my suprise they didnt try to convince otherwise just said when i am ready i can let them know. I am so grateful for JWD it gives me a place where i can talk about my feelings with out being judged. Thanks for being here guys Ex-smoker

with the news that the book study arrangement might be going away, alot of memories come flying back.

we used to have the study in our house for a couple of years and every week we had to clean our messy house so that it would look spic and span that night.

the cleaning sweeping, doing the dishes, cleaning the bathroom, and vacuming it was such a pain.

Great stories guys keep them coming

Speaking of butchering the english language we have this one bro in are bs group that you cannot understand unless hes giving a straight comment from the paragraph and even then its still difficult.

There was also this one time when this brother was giving a comment about how we dont claim to know everything(which jws sometimes think they have an answer for everything at that exact moment while he was saying that the loudest thunder sounded. Kinda like go was saying something.

There was also a time after i did a bible reading that the bs conducter had me read that week. Only thing was i wasnt baptized, must've slipt his mind.

The cleaning Sweeping, doing the dishes, cleaning the bathroom, and vacuming it was such a pain. I remember sometimes i would fake sick just so i didnt have to be there and i had to hide in my room with no tv, music or nothing, whenever i had to go to the bathroom while hiding-out i felt like i was sneaking there so no one would hear me.

I cant remember anything else Really Interesting so i'd like to here your Book Study Stories
