Strangest thing you were called on the carpet for.
by Icansaylucky ini would like to hear some of the strangest or most ridiculous thing you got in trouble with the elders for.
here is mine.. back in the early 70's i was married at the age of 18, typical witness thing to do.
my husband who was 6 years older than i ruled me like a overly strict father.

Did being a JW stifle your ambition?
by ballistic indid being a jw stifle your ambition?
did not needing to plan for the future affect your career choices and your consequent wealth?.
i'm not simply talking about following the advice to not take up an education which has been discused many times, but i'm going further to say that those brought up in "the truth" had their whole philosophy moulded and shaped in a way which never searched for more or wanted more; a non-materialistic outlook.. now some may still say materialism is evil, or that being brought up this way leads to a more content life.. the cynics, like myself, will say that keeping people 'happy but poor' is the genius of the rich.. i've had some success after leaving the org, after taking up education and so on, but it has taken time.

How Did Your Adolescence Go?
by Englishman ini was chatting to an old aquaintance about some of the weid and wonderful conflicts that i had gone through when i left the jw's.
she works as a therapist of some renown locally, so i was interested in her viewpoint.
she said that, in her opinion, anyone who's adolescent development was overly restricted by, for example, their religion, would have to clear away the mental stuff that had been held back during this critical time.

My poetry for you to enjoy , ( i hope )
by wildfire inbehind the walls of darkness, can the light shine thru???.
will our minds allow us to seek the cherished memories or relive the tortured days of youth.. do we dare to give up a piece of our sanity to envision a happier time.......... the tears are real, the fears keep us from exposing our vulnerbility,,, do we risk becoming a pawn...... the clock ticks away,, the stage is set..,,,will our performance be the one they want to see... and if its not, does that mean life was just a game to be won or lost????????.
behind the walls we see things more clearly if only for a moment.....we dare to expose our lives to people unknown to us.......... will the light be a source of comfort or another roadblock meant for a meaningless search of unanswered question?????????
