Well, we've just booked our holiday. Flying next Sunday to Tunisia for a week. I've read a couple of guide books, but just wondered if anyone has been.
Is there any must see's?

Post Cold War, capitalism has spread throughout the world, this in itself is seen by some as a world empire. But now, witht the rhetoric we now hear from Washington, with the 'success' of the Iraq War, many now wonder who's next in the firing line and when will it end.
Are we now seeing the beginning of an 'American Empire'?

shooters? Drinking before meetings? Anyone?
by goofy inok, up to the last i would make sure and have a few drinks before i went to the meeting.
it helped me relax as i am very hypertense and up to the last was going crazy listenning as i truly believe the speakers were getting more boring than before.
i never did but thought it would be cool to sneak a shooter in your purse and down it in the restroom mid-way, but i can't drink hard liquor straight, so that didn't happen.

Someone who i used to work with (married to a jw....never baptised tho) told me once, that he went out on an all night bender one friday night, got totally blottoed, didn't have any sleep, smoked a couple of joints in the morning....then went out on field service!!!!!
All i can say is, wish i was there to see it!

If this is the best forum say 'I'!
by digderidoo insecond attempt to get thread up.. when i first joined this site, i seem to remember that there were many defectors from h2o coming over here, but this site was always the underdog.. i have just been to h2o for the first time in around 2 years, and to my astonishment, it is abysmal!!!!.
i have come to the realisations that this is the site for those seeking truth and knowledge.
this is the site for the xjw community.. so, if this is the best forum say 'i'.

Do you think x-JW's need a crutch?
by digderidoo ini have thought this for a while...that when you leave the org, it's as though a vaccuum needs to filled.
when i left i threw myself into politics, it was as if i needed something to do with my mind and thoughts.
this lasted about three years or so, but even now i drink more than perhaps i should, as though i can escape through drink.

Hear what your saying makena, there is a need to make up for lost time, i feel as though i missed out on my youth, so i made up for it when i left, i was around 25 and for a good 3 or 4 years i overcompensated the fact.
But i guess what i'm trying to say is that the org was an escape from the big wide world, it served as a haven for us. But now, to escape this world, from my experience, i see xjws going wild, using drugs and drinks or some other ecapism to try to find a reality that the WTBTS would have made for them in the past.

This lasted about three years or so, but even now i drink more than perhaps i should, as though i can escape through drink. I also from time to time do drugs, cannabis, ecstasy, speed....nothing harder.
My best friend left about 3 years ago, he now is a total pothead, smokes to kingdom come (pardon the expression), it's hard to believe he's 34 and smokes like he does morning, noon and night. My brother left about 6 or 7 years ago, he obsessively throws himself into his work, unhealtherly so, he even missed out at the last minute a night for his 30'th birthday just because of work.
I have come to the conclusion that certain people need a crutch to get themselves through life, as some sort of escape. There is no doubt about it that the WTBTS screws you up, the org in itself was an escape from the real world, so do others find something to use as an escape, drugs, drink, politics, work, etc?

Brothers/Sisters you disliked
by JH in.
even if everybody calls themselves brothers and sisers in the congregation, were there some in your congregation that you just couldn't stand?.

There was never anyone i could say i disliked. There were some who i got on with better than others. There were definately cliques, its only human nature that you hang about with people you get on with.
I find it amazing though that in the org you are obliged to carry on an association with someone who you may not get on that well with. You are told to love everyone.
This post reminds me of a sister (presiding overseers wife...brought up in the 'truth', but a bit of a rebel), who asked my mom(came into 'truth' at about 35yrs old) that when she was in the world if you didn't get along with someone would you still make an effort to be their friend. It was weird how she couldn't comprehend the idea of not associating with a person for the simple fact that you didn't like them.

Can you eat blood now?
by Brummie ini have no trouble with transfusions to save peoples lives but recently we went to a wedding and one of my little lads had been up to the buffet and come back with a plate of food, on it was little circles of black pudding (blood sausage), he didnt know what it was (i have never brought it home so he hasnt seen it before) but just threw it on his plate anyway.
while he wasnt looking i took it off and threw it away!
couldnt bring myself to let him eat it and i still couldnt eat it because of the background in jws.
