What did you throw out when u became a JW?
by dobbie init really pigs me off now when i think back to what i was told to get rid of when i was studying.my collection of stephen king books, my new madonna like a prayer record that i loved, my alice cooper and guns and roses album.
i was even told not to listen to classical music because some of the composers led such debauched lives!also any film with an 18 certificate was a nono in case others were stumbled - even though i have seen other jws reading stephen king books and watching 18 cert films and my husband had the complete madonna collection!and of course depeche modes 'personal jesus' song which i loved.
and my lost boys album and video cos it was about vampires.i was just wondering what sort of things were you told you should get rid of and why?

I made contact after 15+ years
by Jourles ini finally made contact with an exjw sister that i knew while growing up.
let me explain.... when i was young(pre-teen to late teens), my family met at her parents house for book study.
her family was always considered one of the more "spiritual" families in the hall, if not the entire surrounding area.
