Lady Lee, I too came from Randy's link a while ago. I would "come in" and see what was new and lurked for a while. I have so many of the same reasons for coming here that many here have already expressed. I wanted to hear what others in my place had to say-that was my goal. In the process, I learned that I am not alone in how I feel...whether those feelings be happiness, rage, etc. When I started posting, I felt a part of something. The nice thing about that is when I left the dubs, I felt alone. I had no friends...literally. By coming here, it took away the loneliness somewhat. When I lost my computer, I could not come for a long time. Now that I have my new computer....I try to check in everyday. I missed it! The only thing I did not miss was the flame wars, but then, I usually just ignored them and went on to happier or more informative posts. The thing I learned here is that we all have very deep feelings about how our life was and is now. Sometimes those feelings go over the top. But I don't judge anyone anymore...I have had enough of being a judgemental person. Let everyone have their say...I don't always have to agree with them, but they have every right to vent. This site is a great place for that! (lovinlife sends a hug to Simon for caring enough to do this....)

Out of the mist
by Greenpalmtreestillmine ini posted here just a little back in january of 2001. i scrambled out of here right quick then since i was still active and fearful of so many things.
i am inactive but not exactly a non jw yet.
i am a conservative person and still believe that some of the teachings of jws are good though i do not agree with everything that's for sure!

some of you are aware of just how nasty my divorce got.
even though it was necessary and desired, it has left me pretty raw.

You are in my thoughts....My divorce was also very bad. In a nutshell, I was a worn out pioneer, then bethelite, then pioneer mom that was physically beaten and verbally and emotionally abused by my elder husband. (still a witness by the way). I know you are in agony and total exhaustion. You will survive....no matter how hard it is, just take care of yourself in every way you can. I hope we see you soon. If you ever need to talk, let me know and I will give you my email address.

I think that I would not do business with most dubs. My reason is that there were many that my ex (still a witness and contractor) worked with. Some never paid, some were dishonest...(including the ex) etc. But I will say that there are a few, only a few, that were really good people, that I would hire. IMHO, those few were really good people before they became witnesses anyway!

After 22 years I've found my brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by tyydyy inmy brother went to bethel as a teenager and was disfellowshipped and sent home.

thank you all my defenders
by Mulan inhi to all who defended me on that other board.. i came home today to nine pm's, all defending me from the personal attacks on me, on another board.
i am still in shock, but i do appreciate the words of those who defended me.. one gal called me and told me she had five phone calls from others expressing shock over the way i was being maligned on the other board.. i am fine, and dealing with it.
i guess we all need to expect to be criticized.

I am so sorry to read about all this stressful stuff... I just want to say that I was on this board a while ago, and then could not get here due to a lack of a computer. But I am back now, and want to tell you that you were very kind to me back then. Your posts never failed to encourage me because they were heartfelt. Now that I am back, I want you to know that I am glad you are still here and hope that you can find joy in all the posts on this thread...you certainly are loved here!

Dan...here is a really delicious, and totally easy recipe:
Take out your crock pot...add beef spare ribs or pork spare ribs. Then, add a bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce. Cook all day. Then serve it over rice or pasta...whichever you like. Nice and easy! My favorite sauce is any of the ones with honey in it. And to make the ribs it takes about 3 minutes!
