MrsRocky-I used to be mistaken for partially Asian when I worked in chinese restaurants!
I am: Irish/Abenaki on my dad's side, French/Lakota on my mom's. Which makes me an American mongrel, ie mixed-race.

What's your ethnic background?
by Joker10 in.
it seems that light skinned ex-ws speak out more against watchtower than people of a darker skin color.
what is your ethnic origin?

Did you give your children 'Bible names'?
by nicolaou ini have to admit that we gave our first two kids 'hebrew' names.
i don't want to identify my children online but suffice to say that we had at least some sense in that we opted for safe names of the samuel and daniel type - no melchizedeks!.
however, in our city we had a javan a samson [gen 10:2] and even a zechariah!

I have a Biblical name, but it's quite a common one. In my area, lots of people have Bible names; at one job, I woked with a Caleb, a Rebbecca, an Eli, a Samuel, and of course a few Marks, Johns, Matthews, Lukes, etc. I have nothing against them, except when they are so unusual that a child might get picked on because of their name.

I'm planning a small vacation in about 2 month's time. I'll be going back to the city where I spent my teens through twenties. As you can imagine, this place holds a lot of memories for me-both good and bad. I've not been back in about ten years.
Nobody from my old congregation in this city knows I have left the borg. I would dearly love to see some of my old friends, if they are still there. Is it ethical, or wise, to just put on a dress and attend the meeting on Sunday, so I may run into them? I'm not da'd or df'd, just thoroughly faded. I also don't plan on getting into any confrontational discussions with the elders, as much as I may fantasize about doing so. It's somewhat possible that I won't even be recognized, as I have had some major reconstructive plastic surgery on my face (I look sort of pretty now!) and have allowed my hair to return to its natural color. Well, I've also aged a bit!
I just wonder if it would be hypocritical to attend a meeting just to find some old buds-I am NOT considering returning to that cult ever again. Please share your thoughts!

At home. "Your body is a Wonderland" by John Meyer. It's so silly-what woman wants to be physically compared to an amusement park? But I'm too lazy to change the station.

It is not allowed to be this happy said the witch in willow the wisp

Celtic- It's good to see you smiling again. Sounds like you all the elements of a great day-sunshine, music, food, drink, and some buddies to share it all with. I'm glad you and your buds took advantage of the oppurtunity and made a day of it. Cheers!

I think I need help with this..
by ScoobySnax inthis whole jw thing is doing my head in.
this universal issue, this good and bad stuff, right and wrong.. i don't think i'll ever make my mind up which way to jump, i keep trying to rationalise in my mind where i am and where i'm going.
its like being stuck constantly in a rut.

Dang, Scooby, I was all ready to post a reply, and then I read what Little Toe wrote. He writes much more lucidly than I do; I'll only add that I think you should take whatever amount of time you need to come to a decision. I think most of us won't ridicule you for being "on the fence" as it were, and for those who do, ignore them.
Ultimately, I think you can't ever be happy as a dub; your sexuality is a pretty huge thing to try to sweep under the rug, and you'd never be able to openly date the fellas if you were still in the org.
Whatever you decide, please don't be a stranger to us here-we'd miss you if you left!

When Harry Met Sally.
How about "Before me, you are a slug in the sun, an ant in the afterbirth. You are privy to a great becoming, yet you recognize nothing. It is within your nature to do one thing correctly: tremble. But fear is not what you owe me.....YOU OWE ME AWE!"

For the record, the one about breakfast in the age of enlightenment was from Swingers.
