what was the worst advice given to you while you were a JW ?
by wasblind inmine's was, if your job interfere with the meetings you have to decide who you will choose,.
serving jehovah or serving man, if anyone knew my needs it most definitely was jehovah.
and he knew i needed my job to eat.

and the story continues...
by Soldier77 in...last night i had a conversation with mom about being inactive.
i knew it was coming since i haven't seen them for a little while and they came to visit for a few weeks.
well, last night was the meeting... and of course, her husband goes, she doesn't (due to abuse in her childhood involving sra within the kh in another country), and asked if i was going.

Which Figured it out First - Your Right Brain or your Left Brain?
by HintOfLime inhi everyone, have a question:.
in your experience, which side figured out that the wt wasn't really "the truth" first?.
the right side of the brain is generally considered to be the "artistic, emotional, 'all at once', sub-conscious, dreaming" side of your brain, while the left being the "logical, procedural, step 1 then step 2" side of your brain.. for me it was clearly the right side - my left side had been well trained to ignore or weasel around the logical problems with the wt.

Anyone have a Kindle or a Nook?
by Simon ini really don't like the ipad (or apple) but i think an ebook reader would be nice.
nothing made by sony though .... the amazon kindle and barnes & noble nook look to be the best (esp.
with the recent price reductions) but i'd like any insight from anyone who has one.

10 Spiritually Transmitted Diseases
by BabaYaga invery interesting article in the huffington post.. 10 spiritually transmitted diseasesmariana caplan, ph.d.. june 15, 2010 08:00 am.
it is a jungle out there, and it is no less true about spiritual life than any other aspect of life.
do we really think that just because someone has been meditating for five years, or doing 10 years of yoga practice, that they will be any less neurotic than the next person?

Were you Stalked or Chased After Once you Exited the JW's by Elders ?
by flipper ini tried to fade off the map by moving 30 miles initially in 2004 after i exited in late 2003 .
the first several years they didn't bother me.
i ran into a elder from my former congregation in late 2005 in an antique store - he tried telling me i was wrong for stopping attending meetings.
