  A couple months ago I bought my first American flag and proudly display it outside of my house. I now vote in local and national elections. I am thinking of getting the red white and blue tattooed somewhere on myself (as a 4th tattoo). I feel serving for ones country is an honor that I missed out on.

  I had a deep sense of nationalistic pride surge through me on the morning of September 11th, 2001. I never had an outlet for the pride and anger I faced after that day. Until I left the borg, I always felt uneasy about those feelings.

  I hate most politicians and the lies they spew. I don’t like that America has become the world’s police. But I believe if someone challenges you to a fight or stands in the way of the personal freedoms of weaker ones, then someone needs to step in and kick a little ass.

  All in all, I am a proud American who is also a little conflicted…

  So, yes. I am more outwardly patriotic since leaving.

  my wife believes wholeheartedly says her family including her has had problems with them.

  I think aliens are far more likely to exist. However, I will only believe either exist when I see it for myself… in the flesh…not on video.

  This will be a GREAT organization!

  by Kensho in

  2. bible

  when...... 1) we follow christ example not the gb.

  2) stop df'ing those for challenging current or past doctrine and allow us to use our god given gift of reason and free wil.

  sure kick out the scumbags even the lions club have rules for membership, but not those who just use their brains and consience.. 3) get rid of the nonsensical blood teaching that has cost the lives of thousands and beg god for forgiveness.

  Do you tell people?

  by MrFreeze in

  as an ex-jw do you tell people about your jw past?

  how much detail do you go into when you tell non-jw's about the organization.

  i usually only ever say anything if somebody asks about my religious affiliation or mentions jw's.

  I openly discuss being born, raised and brainwashed by a cult. I like to warn others to stay away. I tell people that they seem harmless and kind but how deceptive it all is.

  i'm new around here, but i've been browsing the site the last few days in hopes of finding the answer to the situation i've been going through, so hopefully you can help me.

  i met this girl in highschool, but never really spoke with her until about a year after i graduated.

  she's three years younger (however it's legal where i'm from, don't fret) and still a teenager.

  How We Come Across On The Board

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  most people here have never met you.

  we converse, discuss, argue, laugh, agree, question, share our lives..... quite often, you kind of get to know what a person is like.

  some people, we tend to gravitate to and others, we shy away from.. how do you think you come across to other people?

  Pretty much what you see is what you get. I get along with most everyone I come in contact with. I usually treat people with the same respect or lack there of that they treat me with. If you are shitty to me then I return the shit. If you are nice, I will be nice.
