we all know the gb like to impose rules upon the rules... but did anyone else out there have parents that implemented rules upon those rules?
mine did.
my mum tended to copy whatever the elders wives were doing and took it to the extreme.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I had to secretly stay up to watch the reruns at 02:00 with the volume below a whisper)
Goosebumps books (I once set my blanket on fire while secretly reading with the blanket draped over my lamp)
The Internet
Shaving my legs (my, wasn't I the most popular eighth grader as a result)
As for any DVD or VHS that had an M-rating, they were subsequently cracked or recorded over... this was the law in my home 'til I finally moved out at 20.
hiya, firstly i’m new to this website, so sorry if this topic has been covered before.
i have been out of “the truth” for almost one year.
i live with my non-witness mother, have an amazing boyfriend, work and am in college.
Hi KindEyes :). I've been awake for a good year, also. Finding friends on the outside feels so strange, hey. I feel like "worldly" people will find it strange that a perfectly approachable, relaxed 27 year old woman would introduce herself to them with ZERO social network. It's like I'm the 49 year old single broad who shows up at a hip-and-happening nightclub in a desperate bid to find love. Compared to all the vibrant young ones who are in their prime and are already paired off, I feel like I've reached my shelf-life and have missed my opportunity :(.
Since you have a boyfriend, perhaps he has friends of his own who are also in relationships? I'd be asking him to tee up some double dates! With luck, maybe you'll get on with the girlfriends of his buddies. Just an idea... :).
this has always baffled me.
that is why was satan and his demons allowed to be in heaven for so long after they split from god?.
if we did that then we are out of the congregation, members are shunned and also kicked out of families homes.
Even more baffling is, despite the heavens reigning over the entire universe and the myriad of distant planets out there, Jesus decided to banish Satan to OUR planet. Shows how geocentric the first century view of the cosmos was...
Why would a loving, wise God keep feeding into Satan's desire to harm and destroy His creation instead of simply casting him and the demons to some obscure, gaseous ball of hydrogen 45 billion light years away?
Ancient answer: "What's a light year?"

@The Fall Guy Are you Positive about that?
worth taking a look.
the similarities with the wts cannot be missed.. from the ap and now in local news outlets:.

"Catholic officials in Italy have threatened former altar boys of the pope with criminal defamation charges for having publicly accused an older seminarian of sexual misconduct when they lived together at the youth seminary inside the Vatican gardens."
Sounds a bit like the gag orders WT has in place to keep victims from speaking out after a hefty settlement.
