I used to occasionally attend meetings by myself when I was traveling for work. Most of the time, at least a few people would approach me with greetings and small talk. Once I was invited out to dinner after the book study meeting. I visited several congregations in Louisville, KY, Danville, KY, Bowling Green, KY, and Nashville, TN between 1999 and 2005. After 2005, I quit going to meetings when I traveled.

that's what happens when people are constantly told that they aren't capable of thinking for themselves - they become unable to do so.

Once again, WTS reminds you that you are a *bleeping* idiot
by LostGeneration ingems from the latest km on how to behave at the 2013 dcs..... .
if possible, care for restroom needs before the start of the session.
turn off your cell phone so that you will not be distracted by calls or texts or be tempted to text others during the program.

I'm allowed 2 15 minute breaks on the clock every day. Only my lunch hour is off the clock. Plus, I can eat and drink while I work any time I want to. And no one monitors my bathroom habits. Funny how the government treats me better than the borg did.

It has it's place, does it? Would that place be the living room couch, the kitchen table, the shower? Didn't think so - in Watchtower land, the only acceptable place for sex is in the dark, in the bed, missionary style, with no real foreplay or enjoyment.

Distrust and paranoia among faders
by cedars inhi guys.
i'm interested in knowing whether any other faders out there ever find themselves feeling a little paranoid about establishing contact with other faders or former jws, just in case the unthinkable happens and things turn sour.. personally, i'm now fairly comfortable with the idea that i will be disfellowshipped or disassociated within the next year or so.
i see it as inevitable, and an essential transition in order to do what i want to do with my life.

I've been pretty open on here, from posting my picture to saying exactly what congregation I attended. I may have even publicly posted my name. But I have nothing to lose, none of the local dubs matter to me and my only dub family members live several hundred miles away and we never had a close relationship anyway. It's totally different for people who have something to lose.

I'm proud of you for being honest. It's hard, and you have a lot of changes to get used to, but you can hold your head high and know that you are free. Good luck!

Has leaving the truth( i hate that word) caused you to do things now that you would not have normally done ?
by sieborg inalthough we all know that there are many disadvantages of being brought up ( vomit sound) in the truth.
but would you say that leaving has maybe caused you to do some things that you would not have normally have done in life ?
for me personally now i have lots of free time ( mine all mine, evil laugh) i have almost finished my first novel.

I don't think so. I was an adult when I joined up, and I was only in for about 12 years. Mostly, I've gone back to doing the things that made me happy before, like gardening, home improvement projects, and travel.

"Why Do Many Male Jehovah Witnesses Who Learn TTATT Grow Beards"?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia inthe year once 1983 and the brother who use to study the bible with me drove by and had a full on "charles manson" looking facial hair and beard.
i asked tina, a friend what's up with him?
tina was 19 and a hot red-head woman who was partially in the religion but had problems with fornication.

Just Ron had a beautiful, well kept full beard and moustache before we became dubs. He hated having to shave because he would get so many ingrown hairs. When we left, he regrew his facial hair immediately. He looks so much better - like the man I fell in love with - than he did clean shaven.
I, on the other hand, am still waging my daily war with my facial hair. I will never surrender and let the lady beard grow unchecked. My rebellion comes in the form of refusing to pretend that I don't have equal say in what goes on in my own household.
