  Music you chucked out when you were a JW.

  it made me think, reading comments on carpenters thread....... what music did you throw out when you were a witness??.

  i got rid of all my led zeppelin (satanic backtracking and all that baloney).

  all my deep purple.

  I just discovered Guns n' Roses

  by thecarpenter in

  2. entertainment

  i just discovered how good guns n' roses are.

  i was listening to a bunch of their songs and i can't believe they wrote so many good songs.

  i was a quite a head banger before i became a witness and after joining i avoided a lot of heavy metal rock and a lot of worldly music in general.

  My first blood donation

  ... has been scheduled.

  i've been to the clinic to watch mr frass donate, and it was pretty confronting.

  still i've realised that if i'm happy with taking blood, i should be happy to give it too, so i'm going to become a donor.

  i'm interested in knowing your thoughts on this matter.

  do you think the wtbts is a destructive cult?

  a destructive cult is defined as "a group which violates the rights of its members and damages them through the abusive techniques of unethical mind control.

  How Do I Get Rid of these Thoughts?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower

  though i no longer think like a witness i still think "that is what i would think if i was still a witness".. everytime i see a birthday party or christmas on tv i think "ohh, if i was a jw i would think they were pagan, and not really having fun.".

  when i speak to someone at work and they say they got drunk or wasted on the weekend i think "oooh, if i was a jw i would be offended by that, but i don't really care anymore.".

  i would much prefer to be able to take life for what it is, not constantly compare what it was with what it is and what i am thinking it will be.. any suggestions on how to erase the ridiculous notions that were drummed into me from birth?
