  Euphemisms for cursing among JWs

  by gaiagirl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in an effort to show that they had put on a 'new' personality, many who joined the wtbts would adjust their speech patterns to avoid common expressions of cursing or profanity.

  yet there would still arise times when they would become frustrated, angry or disgusted at someone or at a situation, and wish to express their feelings.

  here are a couple of substitutes for cursing heard among jws ...... forget you.

  One of the new personality traits I have. I curse. Not like a sailor and I belive tasteful but when needed it is the right thing to do.

  One holier then thow sis hated "sucks" so I used it as much as posable around her :)

  typically i check this site on my smart phone and cannot post one single letter, but i really enjoy reading your thoughts and experiences especially those that involve anti-witnessing or when jdubs come to your door, so keep them coming.. .

  lately, i have been serving as a duly elected public official in my home county in fl, and attempting to make up for lost time getting my college education.

  i am 3 years in, only have one year left, and i will officially be a registered nurse.

  Do you feel guilty?

  by Justmenthedogs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so while i was out hiking with the dogs today i got to thinking about this forum and was wondering how many of you still feel guilty from time to time for leaving?

  i do, i miss my family at times but then i think about the life that i have created and i have a good one, i have good friends and i am happy, happier then i ever was as a jw.

  i was just wondering if others feel the same way sometimes..
