I say live and let live. We are all different inside and out.
How boring would the world be if we were all the same? ☺️

Boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates
by pale.emperor innow i think i may have seen everything.. "boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates".
i'm all for people being entitled to wear what they want and live as they please as long as they're not harming anyone but - a male prom queen?
maybe there wasn't much competition in his school?.

The One Per Cent (1%) - Is it a Phenomenon of Nature itself? Is it Fair? Is it our enemy?
by Terry inopen discussion.
the rich and powerful vs the struggling poor.. the 1% we all hear about.... is it fair that a tiny minority has more and wins more often than the rest of us?____.
(let's make a survey).

Society is made of many layers, like an infinite onion.
We need the genius to contribute their ideas and lightbulb moments.... others to constantly put their idea in motion so the genius can be.... the genius.
Some people come from nothing but that’s not their story....if they stumble on an simplistic idea that might elevate them into a better life that will probably help to make another or so generations of the wealthiest. We all can do this in the right moment, at the right time and with the right people.
Does it really matter? The rich are nothing without an army of minions of production to put their plans into action. Without this there’s no wealth.
Then they go and pay taxes to help run the country etc. (Not only them but us too). Every little bit helps.
So in conclusion and in the reality of things we all need everyone and everyone needs us.

🤣🤣🤣
I’m not perfect but I try my best.
Optimism?! Not always.
Humble?! Sometimes.
Happy?! I prefer contentment.
Better to be content than searching to achieve the hype of happy moments that might never come!
Honesty?! I’ve just demonstrated that. 😋 😉

when you put it like that!... lions and snakes seem pretty scary hehehe.
But my father was an amazing storyteller and an even better poet. Apart from those stories... there was his leather belt.
I love your memories, sometimes those that are not ours are more OURS than the ones that actually are. Thank you for sharing ☺️☺️

Hi guys and girlies,
Since I’ve joined a fortnight ago or so, I have reading all sort of posts, some recent and some really old! 🙂 I’m really enjoying all of your stories and contributions. So from me to you... thank you. 🙃
Age (just a number!!) ranges from the younger to the more experienced in life... So keeping this in mind... what’s the most important memory that makes you smile?
I’ll start it off.... for me.... best memories ever are the ones that takes me back to my 7 years old self. My dad used to tell me the best.... I mean just THE BEST goodnight stories.
He would sit between my sister’s bed and mine belting out the stories of his background in Africa, filled with lions and snakes and all the locals ideas of life.
Always understated, these I remember so well and have passed it on to my children that I hope one day will do the same too.
So...What’s your story? What’s that memory that takes you back ?
A smell, a brand, the taste of some lovely food?! ☺️

you are one of the lucky ones that is escaping this religion that would make you a prisoner for ever.
Even after leaving if we have family and friends we are still prisoners of it.
Jehovah witnesses don’t just ask a little input of yourself... they ask the “whole” of you. It’s like a hungry beast that you need to keep feeding consistently.
So congrats for your decision!!🤗
When buying a house I’m sure you would do your research, when buying a car too, or even when visiting a new restaurant.... so why not a religion that is going to change your life for ever???!!
When you have a little time look at old posts ...... so many here have had experiences of the cult that will help you to understand what JWs are all about.
And Good luck. (Oops jws can’t say good luck either)
So many rules.... so little time. 🙂

Staying a Jehovah's Witness
by lriddle80 inwhy the shunning if someone leaves?
why are they working so hard to keep everyone in?
is it money?

Can you imagine if they changed the shunning rules??!!! 😱😱😱😱😱
People would definitely realised that this “tooth”... is not the “TOOTH”!!! 🦷🦷🦷🦷
So GB just keeps dragging their feet until there’s huge holes in their shoes and then in their socks... and I think that after that, they will still try to patch those up!
In terms of members I agree with the top comment... losing family friends position social club status.
when you know nothing else the world it’s a very scary place. Many prefer to stay than having to face life and start again. It’s already so ingrained in the day to day lives and in their being.
And there’s never a guarantee that they’ll make it outside either!
So yep... sad but unfortunately it’s the reality.

Have Your Relationships Been Affected Because You Were A Jehovah’s Witness?
by minimus ini’m just curious if you think your past life either adversely or positively affected your relationships?.
-

The answer would be yes yes yes to the main question 🙂....even though I didn’t stayed in the religion very long —phew!!!
Meeting others friends or otherwise has proved very tricky until today... and I don’t think that will ever change for me.
Maybe some will not agree with me (and that will be great!) but in my mind once you’ve dipped into that world (JWs) it just seems to follow you like a bad stench.
It’s a futile fight as so many times just lurks there...ready to lift its ugly head ready to POUNCE once the chance presents itself. Urgh!
I call it my ex-jw mind. 😖
