No its true... I was the only one in the family as well as a man of the bible and an ordained Minister.... Then I just couldnt live up to the standards, no Pre-marital sex, no partying etc... Its not like you cant do anything fun, I mean I had plenty of friends in the truth and we got together often and had gatherings and BBQ's and stuff.. Holiday were fine too I mean while people were doing Christmas and Thanksgiving we were hhaving big dinners and having good association... One thing to keep in perspective, you can give gifts to people anytime of the year not just on designated days like Christmas and Birthdays... It was a positive experience in my life but I seemed to have a propensity to wanna drink, be a badass and be a smartass with my terseness,party go to the titty bar, get Tattoos and train martial arts and MMA and Bang Hot chicks.. So when I left I did all those above things and went on a tear for 4 years dogging woman fighting, drinking became a bouncer got the tattoos I always wanted and made the money I always wanted to, instead of dedicating myself to the Lord Not to mention before I became a JW I was training hard in Jeet Kune Do and Filipino Martial Arts(Kali, Arnis, Dumog) and I wanted to compete in MMA as well since it just really started back in the mid 90's
so when I got out I went back into my instructor was like were the hell you been the last 10 years
