elder: "the brothers (referring to gb) have advised that we read only the material provided by the faithful and dscreet slave.

you should read all of the watchtower and awake articles every time you receive a new one, as it shows respect and appreciation for the hard work the brothers have put in to creating it" .

well i never liked playboy??????????

If you are inside the JW bubble long enough, perhaps even being brought up this way by your parents, it can take a long time to break the brainwashing and really see in your heart how sick and wrong the Watchtower Society really is. Sometimes I feel that I will never emotionally grasp it, although logically I know that it is the sad truth.

We should lovingly support anyone who is in the process of coming out. Otherwise, we are being just like the Witnesses who truly do make you decide whether you are in or out.

I was going to quote Pink Floyd here, but then I realized the word in the song is "bottles" not "bubbles". I guess you learn something new every day.

when i was 27 my brother held a bucks night party for my first marriage and we went to a strip joint.

de rigeure for the boys bucks night.

it was all a bit of a none event, so next night he brought around drugs to my house, marijuana.

Sounds like your pot was laced with something else. Although it is not impossible, I have never heard of someone being affected like this from smoking a little ganja. Sounds more like PCP!

Anyone w/anxiety disorders? Describe it.

i'm curious to see if anyone here has any major anxiety disorders and how it affects their lives.

as a semi-confession, i think i may have something of this sort, but i'd like a comparison first.

being a male, i never go to the doctors unless my leg is falling off, so i don't just want to go to a doctor to medicate a problem that could be overcome in other ways.

professor

kheli,

Interesting about the class and book. How did that work for you?

i want to see if there are any x-jw's who are now sgi-usa members here and how you got to where you are now.

i think it would help me not to feel alone here.

professor

I believe the Beastie Boys held a similar view.

(just kidding, sounds interesting!)
