Wow! There wasn't much of an overtime period to speak of. Sorry Boston fans...
Canucks did it again! 2 - 0 series lead.

I just have to resurrect this one. hee hee...
Am I naughtier than before? Getting there. I now listen to music that would make almost any fundie religionista blush. My choices in other kinds of entertainment are getting racier as well. I'm chatting it up with ppl online who are at least as dirty minded and twisted as I am. I'll smoke an occasional cigar too. I'm seriously considering doing things that I hardly would have thought of doing before. OTOH I was NEVER able to give up on cursing or nasty jokes.
As I'm changing my life and trying out new things, I'm just trying to avoid doing anything particularly stupid like so many other X-JW's have unfortunately gotten themselves into.
Like others here have said, I'm just trying to shed the lifelong guilt and frustration over what's simply in my nature...

As I've mentioned here many times before, I have close family that are still in the bOrg and I just can't take a chance of them knowing that I post here. Not yet! Yes, odds are that nobody in my family would ever dare to lurk here. Yes, odds are that pretty well nobody in my local congo even gives a shit about me anymore and no faithful JW has any business lurking in a place like this anyway. Can I be entirely sure though? Many of the stories I've read here have left me a bit paranoid. I know for sure that local rats and spies do lurk where they ought not AND they will throw you under the bus anyway, even at the risk of incriminating themselves. I was already at the butt end of that once.
There IS this one "brother" whom I used to be friends with, though, who keeps emailing me every once in a blue moon out of so-called personal concern so I doubt that I'm completely off the radar of ALL the locals. He keeps thinking that he's going to rescue me from "spiritual death" someday and he just has to try to keep tabs on me until I turn around... someday. That ain't happening! A local friend of my out-of-town sister left a couple of magazines and a little "love note" the other day as well. My sister has previously denied putting this friend up to this kind of stuff before but I'm still not sure.
Yes, I am on Facebook, but sorry folks, it is only an assumed name that I go by. Need I repeat why? If I trust you enough, I just might tell you a little bit more about my real life in more private corners of the web, if you ask...

I remember reading your opening story not long after I signed on here and it broke my heart to read about how desperately lonely you were. I really felt for you. I can relate to the feeling of life passing you by while watching the (seeming) happiness and togetherness of others all around while you're perishing in isolation, loneliness and obscurity. I could also relate to DaCheech's situation when he was single and nearly all the eligible single ladies would pass him up because they only wanted elders, CO's, bethelites, etc. It was the same with me. Unfortunately for me, an attempted hookup with someone from my past exploded in my face. LOL! It was just as well though since I'm freeing myself of that crap now and dating possibilities are all around now too. See... not all single "brothers" have it so easy either.
Keep on the path you're on and stay true to yourself. When you have successfully extricated yourself from the clutches of the bOrg and the GB that controls them, we'll be here for you cheering when you get to the other side. Hang on girl!

What if your Significant Other wanted to become a JW?
by Dune intoday, i was ambushed by a pair of witnesses while leaving my apartment.
they offered me a magazine, to which i declined, but gave the latest awake & watchtower to my girlfriend.
at our next stop, i took the magazines, rolled them up and was about to toss them when she told me that she wanted to read them.

I suppose that I am of two minds when it comes to this:
If it involves a live-in/shackup situation, then I would tend to agree with pirata in that there is little that can be done and that the situation will resolve itsef one way or another.
If there is a marital situation, it can be much more drawn out and painful. I would then tend to agree with LouBelle. Try to get a dialogue happening. Openly honestly and factually discuss what's wrong with the JW religion and the people who ardently follow it. If discussion fails, the marriage will fail as well.
In any case, there is no way that I would be able to tolerate being in a close relationship with someone who is normal one day and then becomes an associate of JWs the next. It would be far more than I could bear, considering that I've left that stuff behind and have no desire to put up with JW rhetoric inside my own home. If I ever date an XJW, I would have to pose the question of whether she would have any inkling, desire or reason to return. IF she isn't firmly committed to leaving her JW past behind, my commitment to her will be left behind instead...

Men are Adorable!
by Robdar inthis afternoon i had the pleasure of listening to my dad, husband and son discuss timing belts, the teeth they rest on, camshafts, and other car parts that i cant recall at such a late hour.
they were totally engrossed in the conversation and it was fun listening to them talk.
the air was thick with testosterone and they were so manly that i just had to smile about it.

A great big bear-hug for you, Robdar. (((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))) This really is a great thread!
It's so rare these days to hear about women appreciating the male of the species for what he really is. I find it really heartbreaking when I hear about women who have had mostly negative experiences with men and thus aren't able to feel anything more than a superficial friendliness towards them.
Oddly enough, most of my friends are female as I find males a little bit harder to connect with. Perhaps I am more in touch with the feminine side of things than most guys and I am frustrated at time when my fellow males tend to be a little bit "thick" when it comes to what women think, feel and like about things. I like to fancy myself as a champion of the female side. I tend to be quite comfortable when I'm among a group of ladies who are just sitting and chatting and I enjoy the discussions they have. I've been led to believe that, on some level, I can understand the female kind better than most guys.
That being said, I can talk about camshaft lobe profiles, ignition timing and final drive gear ratios with the best of them. I'm also the handyman type, having replaced my broken hot water heater all by myself not that long ago. I'm also the consummate computer hardware and gadget geek.
I like women to be female and feminine... to a point. If a woman is the delicate "princess" type and is hardly capable or motivated to do much of anything for herself, it can be a real turnoff. OTOH, I also find it hard to like women who have little appreciation for more feminine things and are far too tomboyish and "butch". I think that the best women are the ones who have a balanced perspective of things both martian and venutian, as it were.
Again, many thanks to you, Robdar. You're an awesome lady.

An Intro and apology.
by Slidin Fast ini have been an avid reader on this site for a few years and have weighed in on a few topics and introduced a few more without introducing myself.
for this i apologise.
the main reason for my reticence is that being a second generation born in but having been baptised in the 50s i will find it difficult to make an introduction without giving the game away.

Greetings Slidin Fast.
LOL! Better later than never, I say. It's nice to know a little bit more about you. It's perfectly understandable that you don't want to give yourself away at this point. Maybe it'll take you a while before you walk away from the KH and the JWs for good. Be patient with yourself and don't be in a hurry to do anything. Take care...

I'm not sure where I belong. Sure, at least some ppl here will say I'm nice but I've been pretty mean too. I guess I'm kinda bi-polar about it...
