An interesting weekend. :D
by FifthOfNovember inon friday it was about 70 where i live, so my cousin (who is an unbaptised j-dub) and i decided to play some tennis.
as we were walking out of a store (we were looking for tennis balls) i see two older j-dubs driving by, staring at us.
i havn't been to the meetings in months and i think they were shocked to see me with a beard.

Ah, the guilt that if you didn't answer you didn't love god and you were just being selfish....
So my heart would race as I raised my hand, hating every moment of it. Then the intense relief when it was over, or the dread because I didn't get called on and felt guilted into trying again. Then once my dreaded answering hell was over with and I felt spiritually smug, I then started elbowing NLW so he could feel the guilt about not commenting. NLW liked to wait until the last moment because answering was hell on him too. That and he would give me the excuse that he only liked to answer if he felt that he had something good to add. Then if NLW didn't answer, I would feel upset because he was obviously being selfish and just didn't love god. LOL.

Have you made MAJOR CHANGES since you started posting here?
by nicolaou ini ask because i've been posting at jwd/jwn for 10 years now.
i was a rapidly fading jw when i started but still considered myself a christian for a good few years more.
now i've embraced reason and rejected faith i'm a very happy atheist and enjoy learning more about the fact of evolution.. what about you?.

I've changed in my thinking so much it's funny. I would never believe it to be possible. lol NLW hasn't changed any as he already knew most of this stuff from a couple of years ago. He has turned more solidly into an athiest.
