  I DA'ed myself because I thought it was all crap for a long time and did a bunch of research to confirm it. I've never felt so guilt free in all my life as I do now.

  did being a witness make you arrogant at school/work?

  by Crumpet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i 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?

  I feel shitty about the way I treated all my 'worldly' 'acquaintances' at work while I was still a dubbie. I always kind of thought that I was better than them ; that I was in on some secret that they just couldn't get or something, lol. I would blow them off when they kindly asked me to do things after work, like watch a hockey game or have a couple beers or something.
  
  
  How brainwashed was I? Embarrassing.

  :It is like a nighmare that you can't wake up from.
  
  
  That is exactly how I've felt for my entire life. There were happy times but it was only when I was letting myself be me, it was despite the organization, few and far between.

  i'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.

  i've been here on maui for about 7 months now, to start life over after my ordeal on the mainland with the dubbies.

  and for the most part it's been good...... until last month when my employer announced bankruptcy.

  so i am out of work for now, but and i am starting my own business again.

  What did you do during school assemblies?

  by Qcmbr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in 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?

  Slightly off topic, but in music class as a ten year old I had to spin my seat around and and sit staring at the class whenever they would sing any God related songs or anything about war. You couldn't picture a more depressed kid at that age I'm tellin ya.

  No offence but a JW and a Morman in a theological debate is like a couple of one legged men in an ass kicking contest.
