  I edited my post... Here's the (edited) original:

  Hello, everyone.

  As noted in the topic, I joined here 13 years ago. I last posted here over 5 years ago. I just now learned that this site still exists!

  I remember the first time back in 2002 when I started reading all the posts of people who were having the same doubts, insecurities and questions as me. I was scared to death to come here but I couldn't resist.

  Anyway, 13 years later, all those years spent as a JW are now a mere blip in the radar for me but it took quite a long time to get here. Still, I know it's a different road for everyone. So, all the best to all of you who are now going through what I have also gone through.

  Porn is .....Mostly Irrelevant

  by metatron in

  1. jw

  this is one of those things that can amaze you (well, me actually).

  you are taught a relentless fear about porn and it gets demonized heavily - but what is the real result?.

  most guys don't want a porn star for a wife and separate fantasy from reality in regard to interaction with the opposite sex.. maybe that's why religious types like witnesses demonize it so much: they are unable to distinguish fact from fantasy.. see:.

  What's up, everyone? I haven't posted here in a couple of years (at minimum). I stopped posting because Simon was closing down the site. I didn't realize it was still in existence. . This site really helped me when I took my first baby steps of my exodous from the JW organization.

  I haven't been to the hall since 2005, except once when living in Brazil (2008) because I was curious to see how the Brazilian's did their meetings. Let me tell you, it's just as mind numbing in Portuguese as it is in English.

  Anyway, I see lots of new faces here, and it's good to see you here!

  PS...How do I update my profile?

  he was nursing a bottle of beer while socializing with some of the other patrons.

  George Benson and his wife sat down at the bar a couple of stools down from me. He was nursing a bottle of beer while socializing with some of the other patrons.

  The Benson's were well dressed and seemed to enjoy Bobby C's. I heard that they attend this place from time to time, but I had never run in to them. I have seen a member from the Gap Band there before.

  Anyway, just a sighting I had. I don't know if he's still a dub or not. Regardless, I always enjoyed his music...he's very talented.

  Maybe next time I will bump in to DMX or Mike Tyson, they live out here in the desert.

  Wait on Jehovah? Or, sue to get it done?

  if dubster's really believe in 'waiting on jehovah', then why do they sue when they don't get their way?

  just seems like a contraction (what else is new?)..

  "Cant go against religous freedom,which the WT ( while I was a member & helped fight for) GOT for all except their own members."

  Great point, mouthy. They brag about how they are integral to gaining religious freedom for all, but yet their own member don't have "freedom".
