so right before my first halloween was my first off-the-chain birthday!
and i decided to commenorate it!.
so regardless of your personal preferance regarding tattoos i think we can pretty much agree its our own skin!
No, just kidding
I got my initials (so I'm scared of putting it online).
Well from the point of view of someone who's freshly reached a "tipping point":
What really did it for me though had to do with what this one older-ish sister once said (old enough to be my mom, but not elderly) She was just FREAKIN AWESOME! Soooo smart, funny, quick witted, and wouldn't take s**t from ANYONE. Once she even demanded unsuccessfully fo see the elders manual...
Anyhoo, once I heard her explain to a householder that we are not a cult (yeah I know, just hang on tho) and that our loyalty is to God alone and that she would walk away from the religion in a second if the WTS/GB ever put itself in such an inappropriate place as to require loyalty that should only be reserved for God himself...
Sadly, she past away some time ago, but what she said stuck with me. The last few years, the GB has REALLY dialed up the crazy, to the point it woke me up. I really think if she were still alive, she would have walked away already.
Plus, the information control (like what leavingwt mentioned) really made me question them. Sometimes the whole "DO NOT GOOGLE JWs!!!" thing backfires on them. I got to thinking, what are you hiding? Most religions don't give their members instructions like that, it just seemed too fishy. I finally broke one day (not too long ago), and ended up here.
how long were they able to stay?
what conversation or other things did you do together?.
ive heard of some making crazy restaurant demands like WH describes...guilting people into purchases they cant afford, thats brazen conduct

WHY THIS WAS A SIGNIFICANT STEP FOR ME:
Yeah I got a tattoo for my birthday (a well thought out one I designed myself), on my hip, visible when wearing a swim suit.
I live somewhere where going to the beach is a norma part of life, year round...
...its been that long since I've had recreational time with JWs (theyve ignored me, left me in the cold that long now. 3 years) I feel that comfortable GETTING A F**KING TATTOO.
For me this tattoo marks a new stage of freedom, opportunity, and letting go of the hurt, and for them, another failure.
Cheers grumblecakes style!
my take on the jw superstitions about the demons.. .
