  What did you give up that you wish you hadn't?

  when i started studying again, i got the guilts and threw out lots of stuff.

  over 200 cd's - goth, punk, industrial, rock, pop, classical, you name it, i threw it.

  i got rid of my witchcraft books, astrology books, crystal ball, tarot cards, even my damn nintendo.

  I gave up playing in my band.
  We were quite talented for a bunch of schoolies.
  While in the borg I hooked up with some other muso's and we played all over the region. Probably 15 to 20 different towns.
  While I enjoyed it, we got used majorly. We would only be invited to functions if we played. I hated that.
  So now, I am very wary of who I play my guitar around as I know they will want me to go to a party... and bring your guitar!!
  Giving up playing to a live audience, then a drunk live audience was so good.

  i used to be quiet around witnesses who were shunning me.

  i changed my mind after my dad's funeral a couple of years ago.

  i was their alone since i live in a different state; but, i guess everybody still knew who i was because of my mom.

  I don't worry about them, in fact I shun them.
  This happened to me just after Xmas.
  I bumped into a JW friend of mine. She is inactive, divorced, and was sporting her first baby.
  We hadn't seen each other for a couple of years, so it was good to see her in town.
  We stood talking etc.. and he dub mother walks up and stands there, I ignored her totally.
  As my friend and I spoke she got cheeky to her mother and said referring to me "he's not invisible".
  In our conversation she found out who I was and took a step back, then cruised off.
  Talking to my friend later, she said he mother was quite surprised at how proud and confident I was.
  Too right lady !! They don't bother me at all.
  My sentiment has always been "If I'm not good enough for them, they're not good enough for me".

  44th Grammy Awards Discussion

  by LDH in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  1. ozomatli's grammy for "embrace the chaos" was actually a make-up grammy for last year.

  their self-entitled cd last year is the bomb--but embrace the chaos is only ok. ozomatli is a street band from la and if you haven't listened to them, you are missing real talent not just samples and hooks.. 2. nelly furtado got snubbed.

  i thought it was pathetic, the way alicia keys won everything.

  I was disappointed in their selection of "Rock" artists.
  It wasn't my idea of rock music.
  Yeah AAF would have been good.
  Definitely overboard with Alicia Keys.
  I got bored with it and flicked it after a while.

  I gotta agree that "Lord of the rings" was a let down.
  I had trouble staying awake during it, in fact I slouched right down in my chair and snoozed.
  Woke up and hadn't missed much.
  How bad is that, I live in NZ.

  So true TC.
  I gave up talking to my mother about these issues.
  I even pointed out the double standards and hypocrisy in her own congo.
  But she is forever saying "it's a perfect org. run by imperfect men".
  Makes me wanna barf!!
  She has been Dfd twice, and still goes back for more.
  She should have had this info while she was out and able to reflect on the way they treated her.
  But now and then I will drop a few bits of info to see if she bites.
  Who knows, one day she might.

  I've still got all my suits from the JW days.
  What a waste of time, I lost so much weight that I look like David Byrne from Talking Heads....
  I am currently sorting out the spare room and the wardrobe will be emptied. No need for them now.
  Yeah a post-dub "do" site would be cool.

  I reckon you are more likely to get results from exJWs who have not been freed mentally.
  Yeah they're out of the org, but trapped in their ways.
  I know I was for over 6 years.
  Maybe then, these ones who have family still in it could pursuade them.
  As noted, they will do a "local needs" and any who find a flyer in the mail will toss it.
  As a child it happened once, and my Dad (nonJW) read it, but my mother burnt it and nutted off at Dad as if he was apostate.
