    I think having to explain why I didn't celebrate birthdays was one of the worst!

    Exactly!!! I never used the 'because the only two birthdays in the bible something bad happened' excuse... I thought that was the lamest reasoning. I would just say something stupid like 'it has pagan origins'. Of course I didn't have a problem wearing a wedding ring.

    Also, with regards to evolution, I hated the line of reasoning about a house and not assuming that it just appeared there without a designer. You know, there's a significant difference between a living organism and an inanimate object!

    actually i did go year before last, but i waited till the last minute to get a costume, so instead of being something scary like i wanted, i had to be a 'sexy angel' because it was the only small adult costume left in the store halloween night..so i just bought it w/out trying it on...and when i went to get ready i got all dolled up and what not and then put on my costume...oh my GOD it was so freakin short i was so embarrassed!!! it seriously barely cleared my bum, and i had to go round holding the darn thing down the entire time i walked....i was SO mortified i cannot even tell you. i looked like i was shrink-wrapped in a pearly plasticky white NAPKIN.

    but i did get lots of candy.

    "It is very, very frustrating being a JW".............Truer words can not be said.

    What did I hate *most*? Meeting someone I knew from school, in the field service. Grrrrr.

    Second was having to stand outside my classroom in the hall during the national anthem and lord's prayer. And having teachers who didn't know me (particularly in high school) walk by and give me hell for not being in my homeform during those times. Of course, what the hell were they doing out wandering in the halls when you're supposed to be standing at attention?? LOL

    You had to leave during the reciting of the Lord's Prayer??? Wow! I'll bet Jesus used to be mortified.

    The fact that no matter how much I serve WTS Jehovah I would never be able to have satisfying sex or a meaningful relationship.

    So are you saying that you can't have satisfying sex or have a meaningful relationship while still being a Witness?
