any of you remember what was exactly the first thing that crossed your eyeballs to lead you into doubting the wts?.
My baptism woke me up. The Father , Son & Org. did it. I went down under the water screaming in my mind, "No, forgive me Jehovah". I attended meetings for a year & a half after that. I listened and learned a lot I had missed in my studies. Stopped attending when I had surgery. I wasn't missed. My family excepted my excuses.

You could check out this site & see if they have anything to interest you.
wondering something else:.
while a jw, did you ever know anyone who disassociated?
and if so, did you ever talk to that person afterwards to find out why they disassociated?.
One of my daughters DA'd. I asked and she said " because she didn't want to talk to the pervs about my personal life any more".
A young man in our cong Da'd and joined the military. His joining was mentioned, the elder announcing had a letter in his hand , but did not read it.We still spoke to him and asked his family about him and how he was doing.

over the years, in the congregations i have been in, there have been 4 different people with "perfume or cologne allergies.
anyway, they would always sit in the library, and at the bookstudy some years ago one sister would sit outside and comment through the window!
another sister would sometimes wear a white "surgical" mask in the hall.. the congregation i am attending now has a sister like that.
Getting to middle age brings on many health problems. 40 is the age for allergies and asthma to begin , told this by my pulmonary specialist.
this year i owed money to the irs.
(the result of cashing in some investments so i could put a down-payment on my first house... i owed taxes on the "income").
i mailed off the check the other day and today i looked at my bank account online.
Be glad your investments were still worth something!

i seem to remember a board game in my youth that was in some way endorsed by the jw powers that be.
there were shekel's involved etc.
any idea's what this was?.
We have "Bible Search", I think bought from Stoops. No shekels, cheep plastic treasure chest. We never played, 5 pages of directions to learn first.

Are you looking for temporary volunteer workers at your factory? I've always wanted to visit Scotland! The weather is so nice!:) Compared to here.
May I forward my resume?

i know some mannerisms to avoid such as when someone sneezes, dubs don't say, "bless you" or "god bless you" for sacrilious reasons.. so the question is, what worldly mannerisms do dubs avoid?.

Pot luck, we always said covered dish.

If I'm going to fry , I have to make something I like.Too much mess.

I can retain a color of something in my mind and match it. I like to sew quilts , so this comes in handy while hunting fabric.
I also like to cook and can eat something new out and come home and make it myself with out a recipe.That is except for indian food, I'm working on it though.
