i always tried to my best as a jw, to observe what the watchtower and bible told us "not to do".
then i became inactive and lowered my guard, and didn't care as much.
i think that my first jw sin, was playing lotto, then talking to disfellowshipped ones in my congregation, then posting on apostate forums, and then giving blood.

these are just a few: how about this one, brothers the time left is reduced", do not take liberties with the sisters", charley calls", brothers and sister do not mark on the sides of your bibles", do you have secret sins", do not be saving seats", you will not be used if you wear a beard," parents are your children setting with you", are you buying out the oppertune time for your selfs", only use the motels the society wants you to use", and on and on like cults do.
I musta heard "bad associations spoil useful habits" so many gd times...cud have been used fro a nice drinking game now that I think of it...:)
i always had to pioneer and it sucked... in mississippi it was 100 degrees and very very humid.
it was like a greenhouse.
we would get all dressed up and just pour sweat.
yes...the positive memories of childhood were far and fwe between...least any that revolved around something OTHER than engaging in personal study for all the freakin time...or physical labor...my pop was all about house remodeling...so I spent my summers when i wasnt in service, assemblies, personal bible study, or meeting with some elder, I was fixing the decrepit old "fixer-upper" that my parents had stuck us in...and summertime in Maine on a HOT roof doing re-shingling at 12 is HORRID work...but it built "character" or so my parents said...whatevah...I can remember him putting me in the coal bin we had in the cellar, hand me a shovel and tell me to wait for the rush of coals to come and run into it frmo the truck outside...all to keep me from going to a soccer tryout...eh..yah...the few memories I have that are worth positively recalling are outweighed by the rest of what life i was being subjected to...for who? God....LOL...what a load of crap...lol

this is my first post and im nervous but i've read many so far.
my situation is this im going to be 21 in june and i'm in love with my boyfriend but he not a witness and i am( i have been my entire life) my parent found out and forbid me to see him and even told me to leave, i did leave for a day, but they called me back.
but they still hate that i have any contact with him...and we still want to get married.
figure yourself out...FIRST....it will save u from a lot of serious heartache in the future...trust me....depending on your attachemnt to your family or their loylty to the collective it can be freakin hard to be in a relationship with someone who hasnt gone thru it...not saying it cant work just tread carefully...

after watching jordon spraks on american idol so strongly supported by her parents, i wonder what some of us could have accomplished had we had the same in our younger years.. what could you have done at that age?.
r..
I could have RULED the world!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh wait..realistically u mean? who knows! I had an interest in the stage many many years ago...had to smuggle myself into an audition in HS..got the part even...(a drunk, homelss bum with a little dog he carried around) but had to lie to my folks..sneak out for rehearsals and even had to *GASP miss not one but TWO meetings in one week...sigh...eh...those were the days...anyways..wuda cuda mighta been able to have been an actor with a little support from my parental units! lol but hey thats life right?

good evening,.
i am a virgin to this forum do bear with me!.
i am curious who visits.
Disfellowshipped....and have the emotional scars to prove it...(got some physical scars from it too but thats not relevant..)

having read posts over the last few months, i have come to the conclusion that there must be alot of 'active' jw's who still regularly attend meetings/field service etc.. don't you feel that by posting your many and varied topics, usually complaining/disagreeing with the wbts, that you are being hypocritical?
when you post your information, obtained sometimes in an questionable manner, doesn't it make you question your own underhanded actions?.
you converse with many on this forum who are disfellowshipped/dissasociated, yet if you knew who these ones were, face to face, you would not give them the time of day!
its amazing what catches my eye in terms of posting...sigh. This one's gonna get me in trouble tho...sigh...I have had a bad week so here's some blatant truth as perceived by me...
I am one of those who lived an active JW life and then now even MORE living in the DF life...I lost ALL my family from this..I lost ALL "friends" that i had gained over some 10 years or so of active jw "ness"...do I feel as though I HAD to lose all of those "friends" and "family" to gain real truth? Yes....I can now say that. If I wanted to survive bad enuff I would do what I had to...
Does it bother me when people talk about whats wrong with the society while STILL actively being PART of it? Sometimes it does...Why should others be allowed to "have their cake and eat it too?" Being disfellowshipped to me is now as much of a punishment of THOSE people who put me here in the first place. Maybe THEY are the ones who need the "reverse disfellowshipping" My active disfellowshipping of THEM may make them realize the folly of their way and change...I dunno...
I understand the reasoning behind the high level of unease, and decisive punishment meted out by the JW org is severe and coming out of those covers is blindingly difficult, but at some point the break MUST come...and complaints about the society must be followed by action...at whatever the cost. It is NOT easy...but who said anything worthwhile was easy?
No judgement here tho...people got to do what they got to do to survive...regardless of what others say...

Half-baked....lol
hey everyone, i am working on a paper that i am writing for school.
i am taking a short story that i have read and want to point out the fact that it shows suffering as art, and it shows that there is a type of beauty within pain.
the problem is, i want to compare it to other works of art (books, music, films, paintings, sculptures, etc.
im with richie on the piercing thing...tattooists have been making their bodies art canvasses for years...
