My mom watched Lawrence Welk, but I have this real mixed response to the show. I think it's sentimental more than anything, you know, getting to spend time with Mom.

Do You Honestly Believe That You Would Have Officially Left The JW Religion If They Didn't Shun You?
by minimus ini left as an inactive person.
i pretty much have been left alone by the elders and witnesses, as far as being hounded.. i know of many that either disassociated or got disfellowshipped.. i'm wondering if you think you would have remained a jw, in name only, if the religion (cult) didn't shun and penalize as they do..

I would have left because they lay such a heavy physical, emotional and spiritual burden on everyone. I just left. I stopped going because that had sapped me of any strength and health I had.
Figured out lately that I was not disfellowshipped because of an exchange on face book with someone who used to be a ministerial servant in our congregation. He was always nice. He was kind to me now and let me know how he and his family are doing. I know my sister phoned the elders there, back in the early 2000s, trying to get me in trouble, but it looks like she was unsuccessful. Ha. My sister turned into such an infernal busy body. I hate what the JWs have done to her personality.

Okay, here's one for you, Was:
"Have I ever told you, how good it feels to hold you?
It isn't easy to explain.
And though I'm really trying, I think I may start crying.
My heart can't wait another day. When you kiss me I just got to say...."

Have been within 50 feet of him. If my leg hadn't just come out of a cast, I could have walked down the steps to say hello. Really, my favorite Beatle, though it's hard to choose. I liked his sensitive, tender spiritual nature.
One of my favorite of his solo efforts:

Awww, this song brings back such fond memories of being 17 or so.
Somehow, I don't mind being called out. Not none, not some, not at all. This my favorite song by The Captain and Tenille. In fact, have a

flying,my gf's daughter has some friends that are not in the same category in business acumen. She is a very attractive young woman, intelligent and pregnant and she admires herself. She constantly puts selfies out there and gives different poses from drinking coffee to eating or drinking health foods so everyone can see how she looks and follow her example if they so desire.
Sometimes, do you think people that do this are in a certain way insecure and needing to find validation by the likes and positive feedback they get? You know, needing some affirmation for that slight bit of insecurity?
I remember the enlightening day when I realized that sometimes people brag as a veiled way of putting others down. "Oh I am so good and I'm inferring that you are so inferior."
Both of the above are human nature. We likely all do both or either/or to a degree. This gal seems to have an exaggerated need for one or the other. I can tell she is not from Sweden. I know a guy from Sweden who tells me that in Swedish culture you don't show your success. If you're good at something, you don't let on that you are. He told me that positive, upbeat, cheerful people are viewed with suspicion and he even had a name for this way of looking at things.

FHN about 5 1/2 years. The first picture was just before I exited.
Wow. First of all, you look younger and much more light hearted in the second picture. The first one, you're not just frowing, you look deeply, profoundly grieved.
It's heartwarming and uplifting to see such a transformation in you. Especially with the weightier role, you carried out while inside the congregation and organization, is this so. Thank you for sharing this very impossible to deny change for the better in a former JW/elder.
