  One less thing I could get df'd for!

  by Deleted in

  2. friends

  well, if exit polls are grounds to call the presidency just hours into the vote count then i can conclude that in only 3 days of quitting the tobacco habit that this it!.

  7 years ago when i left the borg i started smoking cigars, as it went well with scotch, and was deliciously a naughty thing to do after 18 years in the cult(ure).

  i started to inhale, as i am prone to do, and then concluded i would be better off with cigarettes.

  How stressed were you as a JW?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't know about you guys, but it stressed me alot to be a jw.. i never did like talking in public, in front of a group, or going door to door.. gee, i hated the tms meeting.

  the moment i knew that i had a talk, i became nervous and often i had a hard time sleeping.

  just knowing that i had to talk for 5 minutes in front of the whole congrgation got me nervous weeks ahead of time.

  My most stressful time was knocking on doors. I always hoped no one would be home.

  I would push the door bell but not hard enough to make it ring. I always had more not at homes

  than anybody else. I would hate working with anyone who would knock if the bell did'nt work.

  during your stint in the wts were there any jws that would regularly harass and persecute you because of jealousy or sheer malice rather than due to any "apopstate ideas?

  what did you do with your literature when you left?

  i burned my literature except for the wt cd which i sold on ebay.

  i did not want to just throw the literature away as i did not want the trash man to read it and become a witness.

  i remember hearing of a faithful older brother who was attacked by vicious dogs while in service.

  even though his clothes were shredded and he was bleeding he continued walking door to door to finish his assigned territory for that day.

  jehovah's witnesses have survived hitler, stalin, and third world dictators too numerous to count.

  126 years of false expectations.

  have failed to dissuade them.

  Do you feel 'Disconnected' since leaving the borg?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mean - many of us had a history that was exclusively in the 'truth'.

  nothing else.. now having left, do you long for a discussion with some who share your past culture, understandings, and lifestyle?.

  is that the 'appeal' of this board to many?

  I feel disconnected from many family members who are still in the lie. But for the rest I say

  "GOOD RIDANCE" Did I spell that right.
