Piercings Anyone?

out of curiosity, is anyone on this forum 'into' body piercings?

for years i'd wanted my eyebrow pierced, but i never got it done because of course it wouldn't be acceptable at the kingdom hall, and my mom certainly wouldn't be approving.

finally, my second year in college, around last halloween, i got my eyebrow done, and i love it.

For years I'd wanted my eyebrow pierced, but I never got it done because of course it wouldn't be acceptable at the Kingdom Hall, and my mom certainly wouldn't be approving. Finally, my second year in college, around last Halloween, I got my eyebrow done, and I love it. However, soon I was wanting another piercing. I was never warned how addicting piercing is. So about two months ago I got another one, a vertical labret, a less common lip piercing. It was very painful, yet so worth it. Its a very fun piercing to have ;) And now I want to get a nipple pierced. Argg.. I'm wanting things pierced that before would have made me squirm. Has anyone else found piercing to be addicting? Or, while still attending meeting, etc, has anyone, or any brothers/sisters you've known been into body piercings?
I'm gonna try to put a pic up of a verical labret (not one of mine, I don't have any pics of mine yet), but I don't know if it'll work

Santa Cruz Ex-JW Meetup

by santacruzchick in

is anyone planning on going to the meetup in santa cruz on may 1st?

i'm interested in going, i've never met any ex-jw's in person.

just curious, thanks :)

Thanks:) , yeah, I'm the one with the pink streaks in the hair, had some fun with friends on Valentines Day, but then again we don't limit it only to Valentines Day ;) (I guess the tarot card guy was right, Debauchery is a major part of my life right now). I'm pretty sure I don't know a Stephen V., at least not that I remember.

do you ever feel like just throwing it all to the wind and just printing your name here and saying "f" you all.

pc.

by the way i feel that way everyday i write here.

I've been feeling that way lately, and I feel that I do have enough info on here that some people might know its me. However, just for the sake of protecting my mother from any more (than usual) berating 'shepherdly visits,' I haven't blatantly put my identity out there.

?

and what do they believe or not about evolution?

I've always wondered about that, especially as a child. For some reason, I never asked.

to refresh your memories, i was raised as a jw, as of the last few yrs my mom has been inactive (she's the only jw in the family).

i was never baptized talking and talking and talking, i felt insulted because i already knew everything we were going over.

however....winter break is begins next week, so i'm going home for about a month.

To refresh your memories, I was raised as a JW, as of the last few yrs my mom has been inactive (she's the only JW in the family). I was never baptized . About 2 yrs ago, a sister I kinda sorta knew came to the door and said that she heard I wanted to start studying. This, of course, was not true, I was enjoying my mothers inactivity,though I was still feeling that I should 'get back in the truth' because I had this fear of Armageddon at anytime and dying. So i reluctantly studied with her until the time came for me to move away to college. We never got far in the Knowledge book because she would spend most of the studies talking and talking and talking, I felt insulted because I already knew everything we were going over, i felt that it was a waste of time, yet I just couldn't gather the strength to tell this sister that I didn't want to study anymore, and of course I had the fear of Armageddon coming. Somehow.......... the sister never recieved my new address for college in order for her to contact the congregation in my college town to continue studying with me. Soooo...for the past 3 months I haven't had to deal with her or any other JWs, and of course in that 3 months time, I've discovered this site.

HOWEVER....winter break is begins next week, so I'm going home for about a month. I just got off the phone with my mom, and she said "Oh...whats her name...Sister so an so...dropped by the other day, " me>>, mom hasn't mentioned her calling or stopping by ever since I've been here, back to mom, "I told her that you weren't here, but you'd be here on Friday" Me... . Of course mom doesn;t know that I no longer want to study or have anything to do wih JWs. SO now, this faithful sister will come by on Friday, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL HER! I don't know if i have the courage to tell her that after about 2 yrs of studying with her ( during this time she was pregnant, and brought her newborn with her to the studies, and she's in her 40s too, so she was usually tired and a bit weak since she was pregnant and whatnot) I don't want to study anymore. What should I do, or say? Any ideas on how I can tell her I don't want to study anymore? I became somewhat skilled at avoiding her and prentending to be sick or busy before, but I don't think that will work so well this time.
