just to give you a bit of background: i was diagnosed with uterine cancer a couple of years ago and had to have a hysterectomy.
naturally i got more support from all my worldly friends and co-workers than what i did from people at the hall, but am used to that by now.
anyway, a few days ago, someone from the hall told me that sister x (one of the elders wives who is a nosey, back-stabbing bitch) had been saying things about me like "she shouldn't have had a hysterectomy because that's showing disrespect for the reproductive organs that jehovah gave us" and that i apparently was "lacking in faith" by not "leaving it in jehovah's hand" and didn't i read that article in the botchtower or asleep!
First of all, so glad you have healed and are feeling better after your surgery!!!
And, kudos to you for standing your ground with back stabbing people that only care about themselves. You can still send a letter to the society or write your circuit overseer with the info. I am sure on his next visit the sparks will be flying!!!

wasn't it funny how many people brought binoculars to these conventions and only used them to check out sister wealthy's new outfit or that really cute guy that you had been eyeing in the corridor during breaktime?.
of course...we told everyone it was to see the "speaker"...(riiiiiiiiiiight!).

our daughter is six, and walks on her tippie toes.
we always find ourselves saying "walk on your feet!
i worry that this is going to ruin her ankles or her feet as she get older but we arent sure how to get her to stop.
Doodle, now don't laugh, but I started doing that when I was a little girl...cause I was always so little!!!
I find myself still doing it...I am only 5 feet tall...
Mr. CB thought it quite amusing when he first saw me doing it...oh well...
No harm for me..I have very athletic, nice shaped legs...so if that is any consolation for your daughter's future leg look, I wouldn't worry...lol

one thing jws do, and especially elders, is counsel people.
everything is all about setting a person straight.
even bible students are conditioned to be counseled and to do the same toward any that ask them questions as to what they believe.
I was never counseled for my attitude...
I made the proud announcement that some of the mags read so well, that I could read them cover to cover in 20 minutes...(I read very fast and was an A student in school). I was knocked down rather quick after that announcement, I was told that if I read them that fast I didn't understand what I was reading...GEEZ...You think they would be proud we actually read the stuff!!!

water
75% of americans are chronically dehydrated.
(likely applies to half world population.
Englishman,
Enjoyed your post, very enlightening!!! Water and coke is good.
I always find a Coke is good for upset stomach or nausea too!

its my first post and i don't really know where to start, there been so much on my mind.
i've been reading threads on this site like crazy and obtained a copy of coc from the library yesterday.
i stayed up until 4am reading it, and i'm impressed with the way it was written - its just like reading a w only the subject matter is a little different hehe.. i'll break myself in gently with this site over time but basically a few things about me are: born in a jw family, baptized as a young teen, 1 yr aux pio, several yrs as reg pio, 1 year as 'special' full time pio at bethel.
Welcome: Boa!!!
I enjoyed your post. Found it very interesting that your turning point was reading the Bible cover to cover.
I have spent a lot of my life as a Jw...was raised one and was a pub for 35 years...Dateline was a huge turning point for me...about the pedophile issue....although it took me till last June to reach other conclusions...
Hope you enjoy your stay here...you will find a lot of great people here.

i saw your post in the water vs. coke thread, which seemed to get kind of lost in the passionate debate (which will happen occasionally!
), and i wanted to say a formal "welcome to the board!
" we're glad to have you hear and look forward to hearing more about you as time goes on.. i visited devon way back in 1974 and loved it.
Yes, Welcome Tiamat!
Hope you enjoy your stay here!!!

i for one, love photography!!!
yes, i was in camara club for 2 years in high school.
proud to say a lot of my photos ended up in my senior year book!!!
I enjoy my SLR. Mr. CB bought me a Nikon 995 digital...which took me a while to convince myself to use it, mainly because I felt like it was "cheating"...I have a hp photosmart printer with photoshop that I also enjoy to enhance some photos...I enjoy being able to print the photos I want as well.
Still, there is nothing like an SLR...no cheating, real skill involved!!!
I have photographed 2 weddings for friends. The first wedding I shot was a favor for the mother of the bride, she enjoyed my photo albums of all my trips and places where I have lived. The groom's mother got a professional photographer....she got quite upset because she paid big bucks and my prints turned out better!!!
