i have wanted to share this event with you all for the longest time, and i am finally ready.
oddly enough, i still feel ashamed that this happened to me, although i understand it wasn't my fault.
the story begins in the late seventies, and i was about twelve years old...... i lived in a very small town in the midwest.

i eat out a fair bit.
i used to eat out alot more - two or three times a day, but i've cut back to about three times a week.
restaurant food is starting to get to me.
Me and my moms eat out all the time... Sometimes everyday... or every few days, all depends on our mood I guess! But yah Imma have to chill out cuz It's gonna catch up on me sooner or later, but so far so good, I haven't gained a pound

the husband and i went to see "house of the dead" the other night, and 30 minutes into it we had to leave because it was so horrible.
rarely have i seen such bad acting outside of a highschool drama performance, and i have never left during a movie.. thing is, i love going to the movies, so it was a major disappointment.
have you seen any good ones lately?
The last best movie I have seen was Underworld! I enjoyed it alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to own it lol!
i am a long time lurker who is finally ready to talk.i am not dfd or da but just walked out on a meeting back in 1981?
?what caused it???.
it was the flip flop in the disfellowshipping rules regarding family.
Welcome Poztate!!! Happy U are here and shared your story with us!!

i recieved an e mail from some nutcase banging on about islam and religion in general.
he quoted from some nut who once said :
we are only a handful of writers and.
I guess hate can be more powerful, but only to an extant. Love is a very powerful word no one wants to hear it unless u mean it. but when u say hate it hurts someone, and or pisses them off and starts a war! No one really likes the word love unless it is used properly, same goes for hate. most likely people would rather hear u say i dis-like that instead of saying i hate that, becuz dis-like is a more respectable term to use, hate can really bring someone down. Love isn't a word that should be ill'used becuz that is just another way to hurt someone's feelings. so either way they are both very powerful words. they both can hurt, but one can make someone happy, so in my mind love is more powerful towards people themselves.
please welcome a young new user to the board.
this is a young person and i just spied a message from from him/her on another thread.
i'm going to cut and paste the thread they wrote below.
Thank-You very much for you Welcome to the site!

the jws always give a lengthly explanation as to why they don't celebrate christmas or birthdays, and then always add the final statement "besides, we give gifts throughout the year!".
yeah, right!
okay, lets get an unofficial count of all the people who actually did get gifts on other days of the year.
I'm only 15, but when i was 1-5 years of age i never got wrapped presents from my mom or my dad. My mom would buy me gifts like when i was about 2 or 3 she bought me a doll house and woke me up late at night to give it to me. She did the same with a doll... but none of it was wrapped. My dad just never bought me anything even when he wasn't in the witnesses. of course I was young and i didn't realize, but now I do.
