we talk here about the importance of being mentally and physically out to be really free.. what about being emotionally free?.
i realized for me, i had to be emotionally awake first.
i had been yo-young back and forth for years.
Intetesting Terry. I have noticed a difference in my responses since I first started posting here.
Phases like: "the truth", "the friends", "Jehovah',"going out in service", "worldly", "fleshly desires", spirit of the world" ect. would just trip off my tongue.
I never realized I had a them vs. us mind set.
I notice myself thinking differently now. I still have to catch myself but now I remember to use quotes.

comments on: well how you doing dave?
Wheel, now you have more ammo to your argument. They completely changed who the f&d slave is.
I wonder if he ever thinks about those points you made since more new light camen outn
so what are you doing to enjoy yourself?
doesn't have to be for anyone around you, or have anything to do with jw world.
just something that you do for you and only you and that fills your soul (whatever that means).
Also share yours with her. Its such a great list.

Frazzled: Great well rounded list.
Have you asked your wife for her list?
i could find another thread so i thought i might add a few comments here - not a full critique though.

No the girl in the glasses giving the guy the eye.
They probably went to a R rated movie too.

I was looking at the comparison pictures. What really struck me was the top picture was what normal people do. They are demonizing normal , activities. Where was the sin?
The sin was going against their counsel. (Bad association)
No wonder most JWs are socially inept.
i was delighted to hear of adjustments news, but it did remind me of what i'm sure a lot go through when they leave, here's a little of my story:.
when i married as a jw, and when we moved there was always a team of willing volunteers happy to drive the van or move the furniture or decorate.
additonally when you get married you have a list of items people want to buy for you, even if some had odd taste we received lots of needed and wanted items, sometimes 2 or 3 of the same type.. as a da'd person, also seperated from my spouse i needed to move home.
Happy Good for you.

Bump: hey nobody has put good...great sex on the list.
...as we were enjoying our weekly sunday "no meetings margaritas.. my friend and i have been meeting for lunch and margaritas ( okay mostly margaritas, we throw lunch in so we dont feel like alcoholics lol ??).
instead of going to meetings.. ( we discovered we could have lunch*margaritas* without the meeting first.).
my jw lady friend still goes out "in service" and stays in touch with her "service buddies" who also know me.. so she was telling me that they asked about me and mentioned that they would like to stop by to see me.
Thanks. I always get this dread in the pit of my stomach when I haven't heard from her. Life is so short and precious, she doesnt have much of it left.
I'm trying to prepare myself . She may surprise me and out live me, who knows.
so i walked past a couple of young witnesses on the way to dropping my son off this morning and they were still there at the station when i came back to catch the train.
seeing them made me feel sad and think about all the stories of regret here on jwn so i figured what the hell i'll tell them.
so i approached them and asked how old they were.
I dont think anyone appreciates being told they are wasting their lives. Maybe later on when they are alone they will think about what you said.
