I traded all my infidelities for stereo HiFi LPs. After that for cassette tapes, then CDs (never got sucked into the 8 track, thank dog). Now I just play mp3s on my iPod and never have infidelities ever.

Wonderful post, Awen. Thank you. I am always more and more grateful for insights from people like you who are the wreckage of the Watchtower. It sure as hell screws up peoples' lives, doesn't it? You're only 39 years old, on the right track now and young enough to recover.

Can I Please Just Say...

i know, i know... very small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.
but, dang, if you're gonna host a television jewelry show, shouldn't you at least be able to say "jewelry"?

Never took the plunge. To answer your question, minimus: the 1975 fiasco - and not being permitted to ask my own questions, or to question the answers provided in the book studies.

JW directives you thought were downright stupid
by fallen_princess ini remember one time when i was about 17 years old, i wanted to arrange a costume party for the young brothers in the congo around my age.
i suggested it to one of my friends and was told that the elders had advised against it because it could be construed as pagan and masks have their roots in demonism.
of course, i was never shown any biblical proof of this but just that response took the wind out of my sails and i decided to just not go through with it.

I had the unfortunate oppurtunity not too long ago to be at a dub gathering, which included a prayer over a meal.
Last prayer said at my table before I banned them:
Our heavenly father, Jehovah (me, to myself - just in case You forgot Your name) we thank You now for this wonderful meal You've provided to us today (hey, it was me who provided the meal, ingrate) and we're all especially grateful today that we can be here around this table with Nick and his wife (ok, well, that's a little more like it) and we thank You for the wonderful day You have provided to us today, Jehovah (hey, I think He already knows who He is, besides, it was a shitty, rainy, humid day - but at least 7 billion people weren't slaughtered, so I guess it was ok) and pray You will forgive us today our many, many weaknesses and shortcomings (speak for yourself, buddy. I'm ok) Jehovah (how many times do you have to repeat His name to make sure He knows you're talking to Him?) and that You will soon bring this wicked system of things to an end (ok, so you *want* to see 7 billion people slaughtered?) so that your faithful servants may live forever on paradise earth in Your righteous Kingdom (yeah, eating vegetables and milk and honey forever and ever. That's pretty exciting. Damn, my backribs are getting cold.) and, Jehovah, (is He getting senile or something?) we pray all of these things today in the name of Your Son who You sent to earth to save us (you know, I think He might have remembered doing that without you mentioning it) from the evildoer Satan (am I ever going to get to eat, here?) in the name of JesusChrist our Lord (thank dog, we're almost done) Amen.

It's just the vernacular, Shelby. You American folks call the last letter of the alphabet zee while the rest of the world calls it zed. Who's right and who's wrong?
I was down in SE Texas a number of years ago on a capital construction project and was being toured through by the project manager, who was a native Texan. It was then I learned that in Texas left and right are two syllable words: "To yar lay-yuft y'all gonna see thuh preecipertater and ta yar rye-yut y'all gonna see thuh pie-up-lie-un thut carrys thuh efflu-unt."

and Tuesday and Thursdays are still the bad days of the week. Even after over a decade of not attending meetings.
Good news. Tuesdays were cancelled a couple of years ago. Now only Thursdays are bad.

What may be true MAY NOT BE what people already think they know.
That applies, of course, as much to you as anyone else.
