i am off to the circuit assembly tomorrow.
not really looking forward to it as it is the first one i will go to after finding out many things on this forum.
since the last assembly i have read coc, in search of christian freedom, and some of the gentile times reconsidered.
I feel for you. Report back every interesting thing you learn now that your eyes and mind are truly open.
Or if you are one of those guys who wear the ear device, I think its to test the sound?, just replace the device with an mp3 player and play The Thinking Atheist podcasts and enjoy.
i'm sure most of you have read bits and pieces of my story throughout the last year being on this site.
i've decided as a human being, and as an adult, i'm going to make the decision on whether to stay with the jw religion or leave it.
i of course have many doubts about the organization which has lead me to do research.
Two years should be enough time to prepare yourself for the possible heartless reactions of your immediate family. I wish you luck. As far as we can know, this is the only life we have. It’s short. Be happy. Be healthy. Be loving and be a little selfish from time to time. Good luck. I’m happy for you.
It took me 27 years in the cult to wake up and come out. I have never been happier being free from it. When you look back at this decision, I’m sure you will feel the same.
well, we held the princeton application open, just to see what would happen.... .
mit, here he comes!
(he had already decided anyway, so no great loss.
MIT! ... Amazing! Tell him Good luck on his adventures and well done.
to hawaii!!
what were you thinking?.
ive been to the big island twice when i was a 11 and 13. my sister lived there and flew me out.
chicken little- no worries. you can drink my half...
i was just thinking about how humans being imperfect and satan's influence was the root of everything bad that anyone has ever done.
well i know that apparently everyone is vulnerable which got me thinking about what "bad" things people have done while they were a jw.
i'll start it off.
I got drunk at 19 while at my future in-law’s house. Proceeded to pull the neighbor's Christmas lights off his house (it was the middle of July) and then proceeded to piss on said neighbors front door. All the while my future father-in-law laughed from his front door. Then found my way back into the house and threw up on the living room floor… True story. Mrs. Dazed and I married a few months later.
This was 11 years ago. Have I mentioned, I celebrated 3 years sobriety in December.
wifey says she wants to go to see the special effects.
i suspect she wants to go to see russell crowe.
if you want to see special effects watch gravity.
I like Russel Crowe. I will watch it if nothing else for the entertainment value. I like movies based on actual events.

To HAWAII!! … Why? What were you thinking?
I’ve been to the Big Island twice when I was a 11 and 13. My sister lived there and flew me out. My in-laws live in Honolulu and we will be taking our first big family vacation. In May, we will fly out. We are going before my daughter turns 2 so she will fly free. My in-laws have room for us. I can’t wait to go. I will post pics when we’re there.
My mother in law has posted pics on Facebook of her witnessing with their new stands. I hope to see some when I’m there. I will take pics if I see them and post em here.
This will be my wife’s first time to Hawaii.
Super excited.
