  back when i was a jw and an attendent at the km.

  i was looking at everyone sitting there at the meetings.

  it was amazing when i realized that the majority of married couples that where sitting there had either mean married to someone else before, or had sex with other people before they had got into the "tooth.

  ....How many sex partners have you had in or out of the "Borg?"

  I was baptised shortly after getting married and have been faithful for 23 years to my husband. Before him, about 17-20. I am not sure the exact number......

  I like the part about how Jehovah struck the Ashdodites with hemorrhoids and rodent infestations for having the ark.

  Good talk with mum and dad

  she's 77 and both mum and dad have been witnesses for nearly 30 years.

  they've been pretty hardline in their time but just recently things have changed.

  today, to my joy, mum wanted to celebrate her birthday so i bought her a big bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates (yeah i know, not very imaginative) and intend to take them out to lunch tomorrow when i've got more time.

  Hiding from witnesses

  today a group of sisters from a different hall came to my house today.

  they were out in full force placing memorial invitations.

  instead of answering the door, i felt compelled to pretend to be not home and waited for them to leave.

  Thank you for all your comments. In lue of all the things that I have learned about the organization, I chose not to speak to others that are of the faith for fear of speaking of said things that I have discovered. All and all I feel very betrayed by the organization in that I don't feel that all was disclosed to me when I studied. I as well all other members are discouraged to question the beliefs and to be good little sheep. I feel for those that are out going door to door, I know that they are doing it out of sincerity. The organization takes advantage of such sincerity.

  What drove you? Love or Fear?

  by fade_away in

  this has probably been discussed here before, but i'm new so sue me.. i think the religion of jehovah's witnesses has been an amazing but tragic social experiment proving that the mind is most vulnerable to brainwashing when it's in an unhealthy state.

  it seems to attract the bipolar, schizophrenic, depressive, and the paranoid.

  it preys on negative emotions like sorrow and fear.

My husband, though confused by my actions got a kick out of me being a witness hiding from the witnesses.

  i have been a jw for 20 years now but have not had much contact with my congregation in the last few years or so.

  just recently i was demoted 4 days after i suffered a work related injury which laid me up for 3 months.

  during that time, i was offered a job that would utilize my artistic talents and help me to make a decent wage to care for my disabled husband and teenage daughter.

The job that I was offered was tattoo artist. I took it, started tattoing, and I love it. I haven't been visited by the elders as of yet but I have noticed a few from the hall have snubbed me upon knowing what I have been up to. I also had a sister visit me recently giving me an employement update of what jobs are available in the area. I know that she means well but I told her I would make more doing this than the other jobs that are out there. How long will it take before I get DF'd for taking on this job?

  I figure what is the point of even going if Jesus' isn't our mediator or that his ransom was basically for the anointed and not really for us other sheep according to the WTBS.
