If I was out I'd...
by OneDayillBeFree inwhat kinds of things would you like to do if you were out of the organization?
and if you're already out and free, what kinds of things did you do that you really wanted to do but couldn't because it was against jw beleiefs?.
recently, i overheard some of the younger crowd of jw's after a meeting talking about how they wished they could have this or do that, get tattoos, play the newest video games (you know, the ones with all the violence and realistic 'kickass' graphics and such), grow out their beards for 'no shave november" wear miniskirts and dye their hair crazy colours... etc.

I think that once I leave I'll let my hair grow out (on my head), I'll get a tattoo symbolizing my freedom from the org, and I'll try to start a band. I'd celebrate all kinds of celebrations and festivities, and when I mean celebrate, I mean go all out! I'd also probably grow my beard out, maybe once, for shits and giggles. Also do whatever I'd want. Whenever.
What about you?

I like you more if you are literratte
by usualusername inas a daily visitor of this site i am shocked by how judgemental i am.. .
if someone makes a valid point but does not spell well it colours my judgement.. .
if someone who is a clown has excellent grammar i give them leeway.. as an aside i am a gramaphobe.. .

The Jehovah's Witness religion has gone for good !!!
by snare&racket ini am not sure how you all feel as we all left at different times for different reasons.... but this new bible seems to have put some final nails into a coffin that was once my jw life.
the religion is so far and so different to the religion i grew up in that it has become something i feel no affiliation with anymore, no bond, no shared ideas or even sentimental views.
different teachings on when the end is coming.

Watching the news unfold from a hospital bed doesn't help much but at least it's not the end of the world.
Also, wtf America?
my cousin was watching with me and then asked, "does that mean that I don't have to go to school tomorrow?"

Did the 'start new topic' button get moved or what. It doesn't appear on my screen anywhere anymore. Also what happened to the mobile version of the forum? Now it only takes me to the desktop version whenever I'm my smartphone.
