What smell takes you back to your dub days?
by mtbatoon inold heated paint.
let me explain.
the old kh i went to would give off this strange smell of burnt paint ever time the central heating was put on.

If you were bullied at school for being a JW kid..
by mtbatoon in..would you thank the bullies now?.
i must admit that the social pressure was a large factor in my exiting.
though it was hell at the time i'd rather that than life as as dub now.

Forbidden Pleasures
by mtbatoon in.
after leaving, what (excluding the obvious bit of slap and tickle) is your favourite forbidden pleasure.
for me black pudding, full of bloody goodness

Whats the deal with fading.
by mtbatoon ini'm not trolling here or trying to upset, i'm not attacking anyone personally or trying to force my opinion on others but having read a lot of people experiences on leaving the org i really can not understand the point of fading.
i understand that people risk losing contact with family members and friends but really what type of friend and how good a family member are they if they are willing to shun you for not holding the same beliefs?.
a bit of background might be in order here.

Fishy problem.
by mtbatoon inso ive had this fish tank set up for a year and a bit and the stock has slowly dwindled through one thing or another, the main being a bad water change when the ph dropped and some rather nasty silver tipped tetras who seem to have bullied themselves down to two in number.
current residences are a plecostomous, coolie loach and the two remaining tetras.
on saturday i bought five lady guppies and two flying foxes.

Long time apostate, first time poster.
by mtbatoon in.
just found this site today and as well as being amused, concerned and shocked at some of the stuff i?ve found here, reading the bios and posts of other ex jw?s has in a way made me feel a little bit less alone in the world.
don?t get me wrong, i?m not an emotionally scared loner, it?s like i?ve finally found someone else to stand outside morning assemble with.

Back in the field
by mtbatoon in.
if you weren't known to the local congregation and had a list of dubs home addresses in your area, would you go reverse witnessing door to door?

Apos-T-shirt II
by mtbatoon inlike many others here with family still living in dubland, i have the awkward relationship where they feel quite within their right to proffer mind altering literature yet any mention of the wtbts shenanigans sends them into a fit of apoplexy.
what to do i hear you ask?
well i have, to quote the popular pimpled lackey ?a cunning plan?.

"7 up" young JW search
by mtbatoon inin the 60's there was a bbc documentary called 7 up that followed a group of seven year olds at seven year intervals throughout there lives.
quite a few years ago i saw a u.s version and on it there was a dub grub who lived on a farm somewhere.
i never got to see any more of the shows and wondered if he grew up to give a good witness to american tv land or ended up going the predictable route that we have come to know and love.
