    Wow, a whole year? Seems more like five.

    Where are those drinks you promised me?

    BTW, who was right about how you now feel now, concerning all we talked about a year ago? That's got to be worth a few drinks in it's self.

    To top it all off, you found a woman here and had that premarital sex you told me you would never have no matter what. I'm still cracking up about that one.

    I'm proud of you Craig, you have turned out exactly as Alan and I predicted in our evil plan for you. You are under our spell. Now go up to Seattle, find Robert, (You Know) and beat the shit out of him.

    Where's my Jack Daniels an Bar-B-Qed stake????????? You got a woman now, make her cook something for me! I just live down the street and Iv never met her (are you trying to tell me something here pal)?

    Damn, you help a guy completely change is life for the good and all you get is a sappy post. No wonder Farkel left the board, all us sarcastic SOB's never get any respect. Everyone thinks all we want is meat and booze. If I ever do make the half mile trip up the road I want more. I want meat, booze and I want you to read me some poetry as we listen to some Tory Amos CD's. I'm feeling a bit cranky and bloated lately.

    remember that post you did last summer, it included a hyperlink to a US Today (?) web-page...I opened it, saw my "private" account displayed, and went totally balli

    I have done that and boy did i feel stupid when i figured out-duh it is not being displayed ot the whole board, just me cause it is my computer. (when i first stared on the net-i thoujght if i had a crash that i would see CRASH on my monitor.

    It's people like you that make this a wonderful forum. I could say something about how each and every one of you has made me laugh, sometimes cry, but always end up feeling better.

    Now, as for you, Mr. Dave Kate and I've been a little "busy." Hope to see you this weekend, dude. Besides, I need somebody to help me eat Kate's great cookin: I ask for a hamburger, and she serves up a 6-course meal...LOL....I'm gonna be 1,256 pounds by the end of the year.

    Now I think of cyber-stalking as a good thing, since it brought Craig and Kate together.

    You have made my stay here wonderful. It took you some time to emerge from your shell, a bit at a time, first with your humor then your knowledge which is amazing.

    I thank you for your insights and espicially those which truly have me examine my own reason for my beliefs. Damn if anyone has a great DB story it's you. Your ups, downs and then meeting your better half, Katie.

    You are a true inspiration who I am glad to call friend...

    Love

    Cassi

    PS

    How is Katie? I miss her!! ((( Katie )))

    It took you some time to emerge from your shell, a bit at a time, first with your humor then your knowledge which is amazing.

    Hey, what else would you expect from a socially inept JW lifer? LOL Yeah, I started off slow (except for chat, hehe) Honestly, I was really really really nervous when I first posted here. And humor has always been a very useful way for me to step aside from stress...like a diversionary tactic. Not ingenuous, but still, a convenient way to avoid conflict. I still have a hard time being "blunt." Maybe that's sortof a good thing?

    As far as my "knowledge" is concerned, I really do agree with a comment hillary_step made not too long ago: I've been more like a "receptacle for information." That makes all the sense in the world! After all, how could I really be "knowledgeable" when my mind was blocked out and locked down by cultic influences? It hasn't been until this last year that I've finally started to find some use for all that information I've gathered up. And even then, there are so many people that seem to much more easily and clearly find their way to the same point, and beyond, "simply" by using their intuition. LOL I'll trade you $10 of information for 2 cents of intuition and common sense.

    Kate's doin just fine...loves having a little patio flower garden (of the non-desert variety). When I came home from work today I asked "Did you water the flowers?" She gave me that twinkling look.

    Happy 1st Aniversary here Onacruse!

    I'm glad that you're still here to encourage new and old ones.

    Hope you will stick around for a very long time again.

    Hah. I didn't realise it, but it was one year ago on June 18/02 that I logged on registered and posted for the first time.

    Time flies on this forum.

    I joined this forum, with a trembling hand, a confused mind and a fearful heart.

    wow! thanx for expressing how i feel now. to be honest, it's more the trembling hand and fearful heart that i relate to, because my mind has been clear for about 25 years now (well, at least about leaving 'the truth', or as i call it 'THE LIE'.

    it's hard for me to trust that i can post here safely, but hearing yours and others' stories has made me feel a lot safer. CONGRATS for having found a voice to express your self for the past year and for sharing your s**t with me and others who have been lost and alone (in the ex-jw way) for many years.
