Have you finished work now lola? Enjoy your nap.

I wish I could go to the beach, but the nearest one is 90 or so miles away, and it's almost midnight here, and dark and cold

No, it is only 3:54 pm I have to be here until five pm. I'll keep you company till I can but I only have 5 more post left.

I will probably be up another hour or so on the board. We have a strange custom here, we turn the clocks back one hour tonight, so everyone gets an hour extra in bed tomorrow. I don't know where that originated, but I like it, although next March they go forward an hour, thats not so good, an hour less in bed.

Do you have any plans for later? Are you at the meeting tomorrow? I am da'd, and haven't been for years, so a meeting is definitely not in my plans. I do have a few things to do though.

Well I'll keep you company till then, I have 4 more posts and 58 min before I get to go home. Another hour would be nice I don't know how I managed to stay awake this long. So dedpoet tell me something about yourself, this is the first time I've really gotten to talk to you and I really know nothing about you.

I don't have any palns for later today, and I don't think I am goingto meeting tomm. I may go to the two day assembly in a few weeks but I have not made up my mind yet. I am still in but inactive, so I show up every once in a while just to see how things are going. i had to edit this because I am so tired that I misspelled "show" instead i wrote "shoe"

I just never get a chance to go. A lot of friends have moved away so I just sit here in town. I do go south to Santa Rosa once in a while, I got friends down there.

I haven't really told my story on here, not got around to it yet, but here goes.....

I wasn't raised as a jw, I came in at the age of 40 in 1991. I had been divorced a short time before that, and was somewhat vulnerable. I was baptised in 1992, and for 5 years was a model jw, regular pioneer, ministerial servant. Then I upset the po by not cooperating with something he wanted me to do, and it was downhill from then on. I still believed it all, but eventually stopped going to meetings in 1999 after two years of constant harassment by the elders, and haven't been back since. I kept quiet for a few years, but decided to da this year and joined the forum about the same time. I am actively anti - jw now, shunned by the majority of my former friends of course.

Hi Spectre, are you still in the org, or have you left?

Spectre

Well out for quite a while now. Some of my story can be found on my 4th page of posting and the 13th line down. I should edit that posting and put it in my profile.

Am I the only one here??
