  Pick a Sin, any Sin.....

  by Perfection Seeker in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ever notice how witnesses seem to have "selective sins"?

  last i knew- gluttony was a sin, and to be avoided, yet so many witnesses are overweight!

  they just think the end is coming, why be healthy, why lose weight, why work out, blah blah blah.

  Straw that broke the Camels Back

  by Perfection Seeker in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so, whats the straw that broke the camels back in your life?

  what was the final last straw that made you say thats it- no more?

  i have so many-for 15 years i kept getting that last straw-and trying to ignore it- but i think the last straw was when my dad died- everyone kept (keeps) giving me the line of bs about never seeing him again unless i go to meetings.

  Double Standards

  by Perfection Seeker in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  did anyone else have witness parents who the congregation thought were the "model" family, yet behind closed doors all hell broke loose?

  i remember a time when my family was choosen to do a part at an assembly about the ideal family- yet behind the scenes, we were beat, yelled at, sworn at, never studied, had a family from hell, yet others always commented how "perfect" and christian our family was.

  being a witness leaves deep & permanent scars.

  anyone on here have a "most embarrasing witness moment" from childhood?

  mine is from 7th grade- that was 20 years ago- but i still cringe when i think of it.

  almost too hard to write down- but maybe it will be therapeutic & part of the healing process?

  anyone have any funny virgin honeymoon stories?

  none here- but my brother & his wife- both good witnesses got married- didn't get to complete the act for 6 weeks- his wife had no idea he was so big- and kept crying & was afraid.

  just another "well educated" witness girl.
