did being a witness make you arrogant at school/work?
by Crumpet ini think that one of the lack of social skills the jws kindly invested me with was an acute sense of arrogance of being better than the rest.. this made me a very disruptive class member as i would twist my parents twist on the religion to make ridiculous points - which i did enjoy!
after studying the new (at the time) school brochure about extra-curricular activities the whole english class got dentention of ten minutes at schools out and the way my heart pumped as i packed up my stuff and made to leave.
the teacher yelled at me - what did i think i was doing?

Hangover Cures....... (groan)
by ScoobySnax ini'm sitting here bleary eyed typing this, counting the empty cans from last night feeling like crap.
so in order to remedy this i've just put some bacon and sausages in the frying pan, the mushrooms and tin tomatoes are standing by as is the bread for the fried bread to mop it all up in.
kettle on and tea (about 5 cups) beckons.

What did you do during school assemblies?
by Qcmbr inin my school the two jw kids sat out of assemblies and i always wondered what they got up during that time.
i always wanted to have the courage to say i had religious objections to assemblies but to be honest i just hated siting cross legged on the wooden floor for ages.
anyone experience sitting out assemblies (or whatever your school equivelant is) and what did you do?

Why Are Some Superstitions Okay?
by Swan inthis is one of the things i never understood as a jw.
i was told that jws were not superstitious people.
as followers of the true god jehovah, we weren't to give in to false beliefs, even if others were practicing them.

Film Documentary about Ex JWs
by Ayernye inmy name is ayernye... sometimes i go by stephan... it used to be stephen mcguire back when i was a witness in the wilmington and groton massachusetts congregations from '83 - '94.
was a pioneer and ministerial servant and was married for two of those years.
with tremendous agony and confusion, i moved far away to discover myself... took years to adjust to my new reality... drugs... drinking... anything to numb my tired brain... but the transformation was eventual and so worth it... of course... i am now my own person... mostly happy, adjusted and living my life to the best i can... .
