Bartender - Update 3
by Garrett insorry for long delay for update.. short story shorter - walked in way too late, she walked by, didn't say hi, i didn't say hi, she left to work, i left the bar.
4 friends got into a huge fight and were kicked out.
now i'll be going there alone.. to be honest, though, i think i'm just gonna pass on relationships all together.

Asking Her Out - Follow Up - Advice?
by Garrett insoooo..... going to ask that wonderful lady for her phone number tonight as per everyone's advice... first time i will ever be doing that with a non jw girl...erm...woman.
my dear female friends, what are some genuine questions i can pose to get a conversation rolling and what are some other questions/things i can ask/say to restart a stalled conversation?
i'm very very shy when talking to new people... especially someone i'm interested in, and have some social anxiety.

Today I learned - I'm incapable of having a relationship
by Garrett inhello my dear friends,.
while this post may not be entirely witness related, i figured i'd write out my thoughts here as a form of release and reflection.. recently, a lot has changed in my life.
i'm away from home for the first time in a long while training to get certified in a field i'm not even sure i want to work in anymore.

Relevant Poetry
by Garrett inhe was down on the floor with his lips to a glass said he dreamed of a future that won't come to pass that he once strived to excel in a world so vast but why run a race when it's rigged and he's fixed in last then he mused over life is a joke and he laughed that it is what it is and he's thankful for all that he has i said well let me just pose one question and ask if you just want what you have, then why are are you sad
she was tripping on something that was laced in her tea and she was high as a kite when she said she could see said we in the land of the free but no freedom grows and if we in a brave new world where'd the brave all go i said, hell if i know then she told me that the problem is the society everybody crippled by anxiety no one is the person that they try to be then she said, what we need are a few with a view that can bring a change through that we need less talk and more do so i said to her, what about you
i was listening to someone give a speech something 'bout the knowledge of enlightenment he reached and as my eyes glazed over in my seat he approached and he asked if he could challenge my beliefs i said by all means have at it then he talked about the suffering and source of bad habits how the emptying of mind is the challenge and withdrawing from the world is the cure to all sadness i said that all sounds like madness why have a life and then not be alive why have a mind and then choose to be blind what you call wisdom is the fear that you hide you cannot retreat from those demons inside this is not peace, it's a mask you adorn this is not truth, it's a trap, nothing more and you're too busy running from something you can't ignore

Small details...
by Garrett ina witness friend wanted to meet up recently and talk.
since this person was a close friend and who i thought had a level head, i'd go ahead and speak with him.
our conversation actually helped me figure a few things out not only for myself but also about the witnesses.. so we're talking and i'm telling him my experience and the doctrines that i disagreed with as well as the scandals that made me disgusted with the organization.
