Fantasizing about sex during the meetings/assemblies.
by alienagent in
1. jw
2. experiences
perhaps this is a topic that has been mentioned in older threads, but i would love to hear some thoughts on the matter.. i remember as a youth sitting through the loooong assembly progams bored out of my skull as the monotone speaker was saying something about the angels having a lust for women, or something like that.

it was not uncommon for me to drift off into a nice sexual fantasy, usually a more romantic one that would start with gentle foreplay and end in satin sheets in a candlelit bedroom ... nice.

this seemed to be a habit for many years, particularly before i got married and only got worse after divorce (sometimes i think i'm having a second adolesence).

Did you,or anyone in your Hall come to Meeting Drunk?Anything funny happen?

1. jw
2. friends
we used to have this guy that came to bookstudy drunk and he would mumble all through it, and fall asleep and wake up yelling an answer.

i never went to meeting drunk, but i certainly drank a few to get me through sometimes, took the edge off the continual damnation spewing from the stage.

another "sister" used put kahlua in her coffee cup in service.

Do you rather an automatic or manual transmission?
by JH in
1. jw
2. friends
.

my first cars were all "manual" and they were small cars, cheap on gas.. then later on in life, i spoiled myself and bought automatic cars.. last week, i tried a manual yaris, and wasn't that comfortable with the manual transmission.

maybe it's the fact that i didn't drive a manual car in 6 years.. just wondering if anyone here after driving automatic transmission cars since many years, if you would come back to manual..

JW parents/relatives attempts to encourage you to come back or change ...
by alienagent in
1. jw
2. experiences
i am rather new here, so i may be repeating a worn out subject.

however, for me it is rather a new experience, since i have only just recently stopped going to the kh.

my heart has never really been in it, though i am not in total disagreement and have made some nice friends in "the truth".

R Rated Movies
by Swamboozled in
1. jw
2. friends
for those of you who tried to follow the no rated r movies "suggestion", what rated r movie did you run out and get after you decided the society could shove their "suggestions"?

i was dying to see both matrix movies, so they were the first i rented.

Making real friends
by choosing life in
1. jw
2. friends
i have been away from the meetings for about a year now.

i recently attended a funeral and the witnesses mostly avoided me even though i am not disfellowshipped.

my problem is i need to replace my old friends because they look at me with such suspicion now.. i never had trouble making friends before i was a witness,but that was 30 years ago.
