This site to me is for anyone with some kind of JW history or interest or non-interest. We just get together with our common bonds and talk about whatever pops into our little heads without the fear of being judged or ridiculed or ignored.
Feel the love!

i "came out" a few years ago, after living straight for 30 years.
tried to deny all those years that i was a lesbian.
but even if i didnt act on it...i still was.
Nope not gay here but have many gay friends and a few relies! All the best with your quest to be yourself and free from the restraints that society tends to put on us all!
Mardi Gras Rocks!

staind - outside, the original version, i am currently stuck in a hotel room in northern paris
Some crappy hold music on my phone while at work! Sucks to be me!
sometimes i just wish i could come into several million dollars, i would do so much good with it.
i would start up a college scholarship for those who were raised jw and never had the chance to go.
i would help out silentlambs.
If I had a million buckaroos I would buy me an island and go live on it away from the things of man!
will a more trusted friend meet me in chat in a bit for a conversation?.
i'm so sorry, i don't like burdening any of you down with my inner soul sadness.
i don't even know why i'm crying, tisn't allowed when your'e 6'5" plus, but tonight i am.
We are all here for you sweet!

i was shopping at wally world today, still in uniform from having taken my daughter to her therapy session.
i was at the jewlry counter staring at gift ideas for my 9th anniversary (nine years today).
as i was looking at things a woman came up beside me, touched my shoulder, and said "thank you for serving our country!
How sweet!
I was in the navy for 5 years and i was ridiculed for alot of the time, maybe because I was a female in a mans world, who knows.
This Sunday is ANZAC Day though for us Aussies so am really looking forward to doing my bit for my country and thanking all the men and women everywhere that stood their ground and defended us when we needed defending.
Well done all servicemen and women everywhere! Keep on keeping the peace!

reading through some of the recent posts, ie; the topic of lazarus and the gay issue, i was flabbergasted at what i was reading.
i can't believe-well maybe i can, that some people on this site are calling gay people "faggots", and telling that person that they are going to get "what sodom and gomorrah got".. this site has been a godsend to me, and have been telling my friends how nice it is to be in with a group of people who can relate to my life, my feelings, my insecurities, and my fears relating to the org.
and not being a part of it anymore.
Am really sorry you have had to find that on here. I for one as am sure many of us on here are extremely open-minded and I say be yourself, whoever that may be!
No grudges or anything held here and look forward to a good old chinwag on chat soon!
Feel the love

this sunday 25th of april marks the 89th anniversary of the battle of gallipoli (turkey ww1.
) this was the first time (& sadly not the last) both australia & new zealand sent troops into battle.
the battle lasted for 9 months & the objectives were not met.
This Sunday 25th of April marks the 89th anniversary of the battle of Gallipoli (Turkey WW1.) This was the first time (& sadly not the last) both Australia & New Zealand sent troops into battle. The Battle lasted for 9 months & the objectives were not met. They survived in the most unimaginable conditions & earned the respect of the turkish soldiers so much so that they refer to the battle today as the "gentlemans war". Today the word ANZAC (Australian New Zealand Army Corps) sybolises the Australian & New Zealand way of life. These first soldiers that represented our countries showed great courage, determination & a sense of mateship that is the building blocks of our society. The original ANZAC's are the watermark at which we measure ourselves. Their memory & the ANZAC spirit is often all we have in harsh times. When floods wash away our homes, when drought cripples our crops & when bushfire takes the bloody lot! It is at these times when the ANZAC spirit thrives, for our homes will be re-built, our crops re-sown & the fires extinguished. With the ANZAC spirit deep inside, we know we'll still be standing with our mates at the end of the day. Wounded we may be, but sure as hell we'll still be standing! As Dawn Breaks on on April 25, we will pause to remember, not just those who fought in the 1st World War, but all conflicts that our armed service men & women have served in since. For those whose names are carved in stone & blood that lies in foreign soil, may they know that they are the pride of two grateful nations. They will, & must not be forgotten. Lest We forget.
as i learn more about the borg i am continually shocked by what i discover.
i knew early on that they were pacifists but i had no idea that this included not honouring (or dishonouring) those that have died under war conditions.
i find it so hypocritical that the dubs are quite happy to benefit from the principles (ie freedom, liberty, justice, etc) that these men & women fought for & yet refuse to pay tribute to them.
Bloody oath! I mean if it was not for those men who have died for all of us. We would not have the freedom we have today. And maybe some of those JW?s may not be alive today if their parents did not die for them or grandparents or whatever.
Anzac Day is this Sunday and I have every intention of having many beers for those men that can not have them today, I plan on spending that whole day honouring them.
Just because it ain?t in the Bible to respect that day, don?t mean you can show some respect.
Lest we forget!
i went to get my hair done and my beautician happens to be a dub.
she has known me and my family for a long time and she has an idea that im "inactive" but thankfully she hasnt been really nosy otherwise i would take my business elsewhere.
anyway, i've long since faded and when i do go to get my hair done i manage to avoid all "jehoober" related conversation and have so far been successful.
HAHAHA! I had an incident a few weeks back when I was at a meeting an we got talking about psychics and I said I had a girl read my charka once. They all gasped at me and told me that it was false. And then when I said all the things she told me were spot on, they all changed the subject!
dubspeak is so funny, but so draining, i had the hardest time fitting in. very strained and false the way I was talking.
