How embarrassed were you to be a JW?
by exwitless ini, for one, was often embarrassed to be a jw; i always felt guilty about that, because it was always drilled into us that we should never be ashamed of our "religious heritage".
well, it's really hard to be the only one at your workplace who doesn't celebrate christmas, birthdays, etc.
it just draws so much unwanted attention to you, like when people try to tiptoe around certain subjects in your presence.

Are any of you in a band?
by exwitless inlittle drummer boy and i are music lovers.
he plays drums (really well), and i love to sing (not as well as i'd like); i was involved in band from 6th grade until i graduated from high school, then i was in our city's citizen's band.
i played the clarinet (really well), and i really loved being in the citizen's band; i cried when i called to quit because we were new "in the truth" and i couldn't be in it anymore because they played patriotic songs and rehearsal was always on thursday nights.

My First Shunning ...
by exwitless ina former good friend of mine (devout jw still) came into where i work.
i knew she was there, so i went right up to her and said, "hi".
she said "hi" with sort of a sick look on her face, and i said "how are you?".

by exwitless inmy husband and i lament over the things we gave up to become jws.

LAME (or funny) JW "Get together" stories, please...
by exwitless inok,i've been sick for 2 days (sore throat, feeling run-down) so i could use some good laughs.
something just made me think of how absurdly lame jw "get-togethers" always were.
there were several that we went to (when we were still being love-bombed as newbies) where we ate dinner, then played bible pictionary.
