    I would have gone to college and had a whole lot less Bull sheet to have gone through in my life.

    Never been intimidated by a bunch of loser window washers who have no idea what it is like to be in a spiritual paradise.

    Absolutely NO emphasis is put on education, growing, learning, experiencing ANYTHING that is normal, aka "worldly"!

    I would have continued my college education (I'd just gone back when I started studying with JWs...dammit).

    I would have not given up my YMCA membership. (I'd been taking exercise classes and doing great with getting in shape...kind of all came to a screeching halt after I was informed that good dubs did not belong to the Y).

    I would have allowed both my sons to be involved in more school/sports activities and made sure I helped them to make a game plan for their future.

    I would not have moved to CT to work with my parents. (I thought the Holy Spirit was directing me...what a dumbass!)

    I would have dated actual men like a normal, healthy woman instead of bottling everything up inside and pretending to be a nun for 20 years.

    I would have hopefully received some counseling on how to deal with my dysfunctional nutty parents and my lack of self-esteem.

    WOW Minimus

    This is something I ' ve been thinking about for a while now. I know I would have never met my wife. I would have had a much different

    life. I know for a fact that family would have been my main association, and most of my family had been in the tavern & resort bussiness.

    I have aways wanted to have a bar business. With food and night club, or fine dining. As a JW this was a big, ... no no.

    My very first real job was setting up banquets, weddings, bar supplys for a major hotel in my area. I was good at it. And enjoyed working.

    Because of the selective service and the vietnam war, I was a pioneer, to have the ministry stats. and gave up the fine dining goals.
