"WE SURE MISS YOU!"
Why, is it that ever time you see me you get that smidgen of hope? There really is you know....
okay...so i'm invited to a baby shower for my daughter-in-law which will most likely be attended by myriads upon myriads of jw's.
i won't go into the nasty details...but they've been married four years now and have another little daughter...their wedding was boycotted by most jw's because she was not baptized yet (but grew up a jw)...and my son was.
so every since the wedding fiasco...they have been pretty much shunned by the jw's...and attend meetings infrequently.

i'm a loonie, but it seems that i've been dealing with some pretty severe waves of depression lately.
her majesty the czarina went on prozac last month and it was working wonderfully, until suddenly last week she suddenly had a bad day, and then another, and then another... it's been a week now and we're both in the blahs.
and my one co-worker had an anxiety attack and is kind of blah now, too.. anyway, that makes three people i know of who are having a bad time.
Oh dear... you really caught me with this one! I've been seriously in a major depression over the past week or so. I live in Washington state so I try blame in on the weather. I've even had nightmares and can't sleep at night sometimes. I've started to keep a journal over the past two days, perhaps that will help. I think it could be partial loneliness for me. I have few friend since my divorce and that really bothers me. My job is almost non existent, my family is irritating as hell. Shoot, sometime I wonder what I am fighting for... I know, my kids. That's it. Life can be brutal at time but when I really STOP and take a good look at it-I have so much to be happy about, so I TRY to stop dwelling on the misgivings and be happy. I have a toddler...now that is entertainment. Who needs TV when you have a toddler in the house. Life always seems to work out one way or another. I could always appreciate new friends. Anyone open for that?
so, i'm looking through some booklets at school (college, mind you) about sex and abstinence and all that good stuff.
seems like the department of health really promotes just holding hands and smiling at each other as opposed to mind blowing orgasms.
this got me wondering.
Perhaps it is our parents who have taught us this. Of course I don't veiw it as being bad and something to be ashamed of, I tell my child it is natural and wonderful. BUT I have often times asked myself the same questions you are asking here and the only conclusion I came to was that my parents taught me it was wrong.
i've been feeling really stressed/depressed for the last week or so and i realised i had to something about it.
when i felt rough i used to go out on my bike but i had to sell it a few months ago when i bought my house.
i started finishing off all the financial matters from then this afternoon and worked out i can afford another bike!!!!
Looks like fun!
i?ve been away from the board for a while ?
i had a new high-pressure sales job that took all my time.
(we just moved interstate and i took the first job that came along) .
Have you ever thought of car sales? I know that probably sounds funny, but really you have to know little about cars and most people don't want you to know everything....AND every car salesmen is not a liar. Just a thought anyway..
Good luck!
Now that is strange, less than 5 minutes ago I was reading about that book. c oincidence or a sign from God? LOL

Sorry, I had a double tough time getting through this thread. I have little respect for this woman... she is an idiot!
at this point in my life i don't think i could trust any religious group.
i don't even feel the need to be a part of anything like that right now, and maybe never will.. but i know of some who have joined other churches/groups since leaving the borg.. why do some join another religion and why won't some ever get involved again?.
what makes us so different?.
I was never a part of the WTS. What brought me to the site was a friend of mine who is in the WTS, I wanted to do some research myself and I stumbled upon this site I have been to several different churches and have never found one that would "suit my needs". LOL I do believe that there is a higher power just not sure what/who it is. If curiosity really killed the cat then I would have been dead by now. At the time I came to this site I was considering going to a meeting with the JW's....after reading many posts I decided against it.
Who's the real chimp?
