this question is different from what made you leave.. as for me, i wanted to take one step further, to be more involved in the organization, but i had some very old small doubts, about other religions, so i started my liberal study on religion, i read books from other churchs to reffute them, but in fact created more doubts about the org..
For me it was just logic. Once I took the time to think about things we believed, I realized that it was ridiculous.
Then I realized my life was passing by, and since this is all there is, I'd better get on with enjoying it.
At the time there was a song by the Beautiful South, which marked me:
"I want my sundrenched Ingred Burgman kiss,
not in the next life,
I want it in this, I want it in this. "
dear drinkers:.
beer buzzes me but wine does not speak to me .... can you speak from personal experience?.
scientif studies welcomes if you have no epxperience.. cocoo.
I have been drunk after drinking too much beer and after drinking too much wine.
At that particular moment, I dont recall having noticed too much difference.
this website is odd.
it seems to be the witnesses, but maybe not?
honestly i don't know what to make of it.
Ah the Outer Plaiedes.
I spent a wonderful leave there a few years ago. Made friends with a two headed Yorup from Tanges 9.
Dont think he was a jdub though. He drank to much. Then again................
also posted on the yuku forum.. i thought it might be amusing to make a list of things i remember when i was a dub that we couldn't have or own or wear.
(some of these things vary by where you live, in other places dubs have them, it just depends).
obviously the list goes on forever, but feel free to add things.
I second MrsJones.

Good job they dont celebrate Christmas. It would be hell, trying to decide what to buy them.
i copied this from a friend's wall on facebook .
often times, god does not visit a man until his case has been declared humanly impossible, closed or dead.
when men say, it is over!
Cofty:
I tend to "unfriend" people who write stuff like that on Facebook
that made me laugh.
what sort of feeling if any is wrapped up in your ring?
have you ever almost lost it?.
Maybe this was a common custom, but I never heard of it when I was in the Borg:
leaving your wedding ring to someone close, (son, daughter, grandchild etc).
I love this idea of " immortality". Mrs Picard has her grandmothers wedding ring. It is VERY special to her.
What was missing? The truth.
just wanted to introduce myself.
i went to the kh for the first time 2 weeks ago...and will go again tomorrow.
i don't believe anything witnessy...(i was raised in the assembly of god church and now the closest thing i "do" with religion is yoga or sometimes the buddhist temple).... but the man i'm in love with is a df'd jw (we've been together for 6 years).... and he wants to get reinstated just to talk to his family again (i can assure you he does not believe it).... and he wants his family to accept me because we are about to get married... so, i'm going to meetings...its very interesting, but only because it shows me more about how he was raised.
Hello and welcome LKM.
As ABibleStudent said
A MUST READ:
Steven hassan:-combatting cult mind control.
Make no mistake; mind control is what they're into.
im getting rather excited!
its only 8 weeks away!
this year, for the 1st time in 6 years, we are having a proper xmas.
Seafood.
Oysters and champaigne are always on the menu. Opening the oysters is one of my favourite traditions.
No one let me do it at first as I wasnt used to it and its easy to cut oneself.
All the menfolk go down to the cellar to open them ( we keep them in the cool). We drink several glasses of white wine and taste a few pf the oysters as we open them.
Thanks for posting the topic Paula. Thats put me in the Christmas spirit for the weekend.
