you are told that if you "go back to the vomit" of the world, you will be miserable.. is your life better or worse since you've removed yourself from the organization's hold?.
I agree with Cantleave - life now is easier without having to feel guilty all the time. And also to have to explain yourself to people. Random questions like what are you doing for your birthday? Come out with us Friday night! Where do you go on Thursday evenings? Why do you leave school assembly when we sing a song?
It's so nice to know that you're whole life isn't being constantly scrutinised by other "imperfect people"
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT :D
so i have to go to my mum's jw wedding in 2 weeks.
it's not in a kh but there's still going to be about 40 jws there.
apparently it's "widely-known" that i'm gay and some jws have even told my mum that it's not wise to invite me because it will make other people (jws) feel uncomfortable.
Joshnaz I loved your link. It makes me wonder why JWs don't question their marriage ceremonies and rituals and ask where they came from if the Bible does not specifically state it.
For example, if it's superstition to have bridesmaids wearing similar dresses to ward off demons and evil spirits, why do they do it?
i predict a civil war in europe by 2012.. "we`re a religion of peace, and we`ll kill you to prove it".
islamism = fascism.
any questions?.
Why is this in the friends thread? :P
since i don't have the answer perhaps you guys could supply some?.
Personally, I've been quite selfish on Christmas 3 years ago when I had my first xmas alone. I wrapped up in front of the fire and watched as many christmas films as I could and ate mince pies and christmas pudding!
But ya know, you could volunteer in the morning and curl up in the evenning :)

Awesome, thanks guys! I will deffo have a secret toast to you Carpe and we'll send you the pictures ;) haha
hey did anyone ever not buy items or clothes with horseshoes on because they're a symbol of luck and jws don't believe in luck?.
hahaha i totally remember my mum seeing lovely greetings cards but as soon as she saw a horse shoe on it she would put it straight back on the shelf.
the same with necklaces and bracelets.
I like your story WTWizard! I also remember an elders wife commenting on my nail art when I was about 9. I had the female and male symbols on my little finger nails ( the same symbols used on this forum to indicate whether the poster is male or female) and she glared at me stating: "Do you know what they mean???"
So I replied: "Yes, boy and girl"
Her face did not approve!!

Then you can probably get away with dancing with your partner at Mum's wedding reception.
How can I?

Haha, thanks Joshnaz! I will try and find paganisms.
Thanks for all your advice everyone and I will be really nice. But don't think my mum is necessarily liberal as she puts a lot of JW stuff before me and my brother and it's really disheartening to know she puts her flimsy religion ahead of her own children, but I think she's getting the message slowly but surely that the religion isn't all it's cracked up to be.
And just to let you know, I'm a girl :D

It's because my mum asked an elder to marry them but he refused because my brother is also gay and still lives at home with my mum. He's not DF'd or anything but just fallen away (or kicked out because he's gay). So mum had this big issue and decided not to have it in a KH and not to invite any JWs. But because the groom's got family in the religion she had to invite them and then forgot about her "policy" on no JWs and went and invited 40 others lol.
Thanks for the advice I was thinking of being really nice and being the bigger person as it were. :)

My mum just told them to go away but even she told me that I shouldn't be lovey dovey with my partner (who's also invited).
I'm just wondering whether I should kill them with kindness as it were and make them wonder why I'm so nice even though I'm a worldly sinner. Or whether to call them homophobes and wish them a merry christmas before I storm out in principle.
Help???
