(Warning, rant enclosed) I feel like my brain is turning to mush.....
by razorMind ini'm sick of my job, sick of the city i'm living in, sick of most of the people who surround me daily.
like a lot of folks here, i was "encouraged to find education within jah's service" discouraged from seeking further education whilst being raised in the troof.
were it up to my father, i probably wouldn't have been permitted to attend regular public school, grades k through 12, much less college---education was that much maligned in my family.

Well, I'm about to do it.....
by razorMind ininform my jw parents of my official stance on "the path they tried to teach us when we were young girls.
" <---(oft-used phrase to try to "guilt" us into coming back as jw's)
it'll be a first and a definite shocker coming from the likes of me...i usually avoid all religious discussion/confrontation on the few occasions i've visited them.

(Post has been corrected!) Suppose you don't WANT a JW funeral?!?
by razorMind ini have been to a couple of funerals recently (both of relatives who've never been jw's; however married to jw spouses) and have been appalled, absolutely appalled at how the wishes of the deceased have been ignored and horned in on by jw drivel/dogma.. .
the most recent funeral was for a relative who didn't even believe in god (was never a jw), but the jw spiel droned on for so long that the deceased's own "worldly" siblings were glancing at their watches in disbelief.
one of the siblings had a speech at the funeral ceremony, and was very touching and heartfelt in talking about the deceased's life, but then a jw relative had a speaking part too, and lost everyone from that point on.

Chester, VA?!?
by razorMind ini saw a silentlambs sticker on the atm at my bank.
both the silentlambs and freeminds website were listed on it.
someone peeled off the other (probably a disgruntled jw).

Physical appearance IN the troof vs. out
by razorMind ini just had a question.....a rant is intertwined as well (sorry) .
when i was in the jw's, i noticed so many "new one'z" and "interested one'z" who were nicely dressed people.
many were fairly well-groomed, the women & girls with nice stylish fashion taste.
