    Scoob,

    I came here the first time because it was comforting to know I wasn't alone out there. Then I was completely cool with being out and I went away. I came back awhile ago because I liked some of the conversations on here. Mostly I just read 'em, and sometimes I respond or make a post or two. I try to have a sense of humour about the whole JW thing, so that people on either side of the fence can take things a bit less seriously. Hell it's only, life, right? This JWD forum has its favorites and other folks who fall into specific roles, and over time that is a bit tedious. Sort of like Kingdom Hall 2.0 but old habits die hard. It gets to be cacaphony of everyone wanting to be noticed, appreciated, loved, even hated. I do it, you do it, most everyone else does it. I figure most of us had to be mentally ill to be JWs in the first place, and leaving is only part of the cure.

    Hopefully though the main point will be to help people newly out face their new lvies, cause it definately works on that level, Like MorpheusX, I won't hang around forever I am sure, but I still like to see what people are up too, much like you do scoob. I never talked to you much. I wonder if you read this, but don't care much if you do. Letter to myself, mostly. Looks good in Arial 10.

    MorpheusX,

    Have a good life man.

    I kid myself and think I have something meaningful to say that others might find interesting.

    Have you personally ever SEEN a baby pidgeon...?

    No.

    I figure that, much like us humans, adult pigeons mate out of fear & loneliness & then hide away their young 'uns until they're ready to boot their feathered butts out of the nest & get down to some serious non-procreative sex. I think I saw this on Wild Kingdom back in the 70s. Or maybe I read about it in Awake!.

    got my forty homey?

    When I lived in NYC I had a balcony in my apartment and pidgeons use to love to make a nest in the corner and lay severla eggs, but usually only one hatched and grew. The pidgeon would just overnight be a little gray ball of fur to a big black rat with wings! At first the baby pidgeon is very scared to fly and stands at the edge flapping its wings, but then one day its gone never to be seen again.

    LOL at Dan-O!

    There are alot of us who are just now finding the on-line communities, who have lived a decade or two on our own without any input [or output] from people who truly understand life in the borg. There are positives [and negatives] for me but it's far better than being in the void I've been in all of these years.It's been quite therapeutic knowing that I'm not alone.

    Thanx!

    I just like to drink vino and surf the web. Seriously though, this forum is cheaper than therapy, and you all are more fun!

    Scooby,

    I don't think our brother and sisterhood has to end because we left the org.

    I want to know what my still brothers and sisters are up to. I want to know how you are fairing.

    I like the fellow feeling. If my JW sister breaks her shunning silence and contacts me I can make a thread to ask y'all's advice on how to deal with her.

    I like that most of us can find the humor in having been JWs as well as in looking at the org that once held us captive.

    We can vent here and be understood because most here have been there and done that..........

    Flyin'
