martial arts
by Mysterious ini remember the jw view of martial arts being cemented in my head when i asked my mother at the age of 6 if i could take karate.
the look of horror on her face.
she told me it was violent and jws could not practice violence.

How being a JW improved my study skills
by Mysterious inwe all saw these barf articles about how kids did better in school because of the skills they learned as jws so i thought i should post all the wonderful benefits i have gained.
-i have learned how to look like i'm paying attention in class without actually doing so [yay participation marks, boo not understanding what's on the test].
-i have learned to underline on autopilot with no intrinsic benefit to my study skills [my book looks like wwiii so why don't i know anything].

by Mysterious inwere you ever in a fight when you were a jw?
how about now that you have left?.

Reuniting with ex-jws from your home town
by Mysterious inhas anyone had the experience from talking to ex-jws from their home town?
it really is an eerie experience to talk to someone who knows the exact place, circumstance and lifestyle that you do.
even more so than the connectedness of places like jwd.

Seeing your loved ones post here. Odd?
by Mysterious inis it odd for you to see people you are close to, kids, friends, family, parents, etc?
do you sometimes read things about their experiences in the organization that you find strange or that you had forgotten about?
or perhaps you didn't realize just what a whack job indoctrination your ex managed to pull off?
