i really must be on here too much - 4000 posts and counting.. supreme one seemed so far away, not that long ago.. now it's a mere 1000 posts away - a drop in a bucket, six months at most, surely.... it seems so long ago, that i protested giving up my light-saber in preference of the fullness of "the force" imbued by the "emperor class".. and now another impending transformation.... to which i say.... .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
argggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!.

Congrats Terri
some feel that you should put out a history of who you are, what your life was and is like now and express it in a very simple way so that everyone can "know" you.
we've had posters say they were elders, elder's sisters, hurt jws, etc.
it could all be a little fantasy.
Good points, exjdub
i'm new to this forum and was born and raised as one of jehovah's witnesses.
my family left the religion when i was around 15-years-old.
i am now in my late 20s.
(((Sookie))) Hi and welcome to the board!
I was so sorry to read about your boyfriend...what a tragic loss for you...
What a dilema you are in, feeling at a spiritual loss. Many from this board have gone thru such emotions. I recently have too, and was raised a JW and believed so for 46 years.
When I was a young teen my Mom died...I looked forward to the resurrection to see her again. Well, despite my new awareness of learning the "truth isn't the truth"...puts me kinda in the same quandry as you. I still choose the resurrection belief to this day. It is a comfort to know my Mom is out of pain and that one day I will see her again. My Father wasn't a JW, and died in my 20's, and I believe he will be resurrected as well.
I think what I have learned in my journey is that there is "no right or wrong way"...of beliefs...Do your research, but by all means allow yourself to grieve. Please take care of yourself!
I hope you can find some comfort in knowing that others truly "care" about you during this difficult time in your life. If you get a chance to meet up with some from the board, that can be a very satisfying experience, it has been for me.

How would you answer that question scumrat?

Have you outgrown the usefullness of this board?
for good....... just say...... all contacts on here would be shut off, you would have no way of contacting anyone on here that you may have done before or do now, you would be left as you stand now, still with your family and friends, work colleagues in whatever capacity you enjoy them in real life, but without those you now know onscreen through this forum.
would you be able to pick your life back up and carry on.
i don't ask this lightly, i just wonder after reading a few posts recently in the last couple of years just how seriously some hold this forum almost to the point that it seems central to their lives (and that maybe so).. how would you feel?.
I second Big Tex's comment

these days you need to protect your pc.
i was just informed the site disfellowshipped.com had become a porn site.
well, that's not actually true - since you are derirected to a pornsite from there.. .
Thanks for the info Kent!
lets face it, there are many posts and replies about nonsensical bullshit that has nothing to do with the jw's.
what purpose does it serve?
do you do it to irritate other board members or just to get a reaction?
geez....haven't you read: "Fluff can be a good thing"...stop critizing people and do something good besides complaining!!!
