The ten best ways to disrupt a District Assembly:
by czarofmischief in1. have an apostate food truck outside with free burritos and shasta cola.. 2. wear a smurf costume and run across the stage.. 3. bikini car wash across the street.. 4. have an old-school breakdancing session on the corner, cardboard and all.
bonus if you do it on a mat made of watchtowers and primary colored book covers.. 5. have a garage sale or flea market in the neighborhood during the afternoon session.. 6. sit in the audience and applaud everything that anybody says - try to get a standing ovation for each sentence of the closing prayer.. 7. put a recording of rap, heavy metal, or other forbidden music on instead of the kingdom melodies.. 8. get fifty of your friends to walk around in the stadium during the session, holding signs that say, "louder please!
" and "take your shirt off!

What about an Ex-JW relief fund?
by czarofmischief inthis is just a "feeler," and i'm trying to gauge the public sentiment, but:.
what if some of us ex-jw's established a charitable institution to help ex-jw's make the transition to "worldly" life?
this idea was pitched to me by my wife, as we lay in bed talking about my ever-present battle with my past - and she said maybe some kind of charitable fund to help ex-jw's go to college, with scholarships, access to counseling services, etc?.

Holy Freaking Cow... I made it!
by czarofmischief inyeah, i made it.. i volunteered for the us army wayyyy back in october - graduated from basic in december, and have spent the last 20 weeks struggling to get through the officer candidate program at ft. benning.
yep.
i'm going to graduate in about a week and become a 2lt.. the experience has really helped me get a lot of perspective on my former life as a jw, and i am pretty excited about the new life that's in front of me.

Lawdy, where have I been?
by czarofmischief inin a move calculate to strike fear in the hearts of, um, well, everybody, i joined the army.
i just got back from basic, where i learned the value of paying attention to detail, and am now ready to ship off to ft. benning to go to army officer candidate school.. i just wanted to post, say hello, and say that while i haven't written much lately, i've been peeking in to see what everybody is up to.
my message to lurkers is the same as always, that is, you can indeed move beyond the jw's and become so much more than a shallow, hollow, sad carbon copy.

Life is so much better
by czarofmischief inhey, yinz!.
just poking my blue head in once again to say hello.
i haven't been by much, but i have been perusing a little bit, just to keep tabs on all y'all.. i just wanted to say to all you newbies (and new lurkers, i'm sure) that life really does get much, much better when you leave the wts.

back again for a visit
by czarofmischief injust thought i'd pop in and let you guys know what i'm to - not to brag (ok, a little), but i think sharing our success stories is an important part of everyone's rehab.. let's see - i (and my writing partner) had three short plays produced here in the "burgh"... it was poorly attended, but i had fun and the czarina was proud of me!
so that's all i need.. i've also gotten a job stringing for one of "america's great newspapers" so at least it's an in for the profession i went to school for.. and my main employer actually offered me a significant raise and full benefits (a huge deal here in the states), a nice change from my temp status.. the baby is still incoming; pictures will of course be posted.
but she's already the most beautiful girl in the world and i'm sure she will be a worthy heiress to the glorious faux-leather throne from which i type this statement.. i've successfully made it one year without any mood medication.

by czarofmischief infor all my homies in cell block six.
this is to all of you still trapped in the bowels of dubdom... get out... the world still makes no sense but atleast it ain't your fault you don't understand it anymore... people do what they do, stop judging lest ye be judged... people suck, think god don't know that?
and yet he loveth us anyway... amen and be damned... or maybe not.

The New Light that burned me
by czarofmischief ini was reading the 1975 thread, and considered posting on it, but since i wasn't born until the carter administration, i don't think i really can comment on it.
i can sympathize, however.. you see, i was raised in the truth.
rarely missed a meeting.
