my first post in this forum
by trumangirl inhello, just introducing myself.
i'm an inactive witness, been so for a few months now.
got put off mostly by 1914 being hammered more and more lately, the child molestation issue, the un-ngo thing and just feeling like i don't want to shoot my mouth off and get labelled apostate so best to fade out.

Please Say Something Nice to NIKITA!
by Funchback ini received this e-mail from my sister (known here as 'nikita') on february 12th:
hi guys, just to fyi we had a fire that started in our dryer on tuesday night-fortunately, i was home (with ann's baby) and caught it at the early stages and was able to call the fire dept (another fortunate thing was our firemen just happened to be having a meeting and responded before the whistle sounded from the 911 center.
) but, even so, by the time they got here it was only minutes away from blowing as at the top of our basement stairs the temp.

How Do You View Pets - new article
by puppylove inhas anyone read this?
i had it shoved in my face in the subway at 42nd street this morning by the jw drone who stands there.
as usual, i controlled my urge to kick her, but the title of the article caught my eye, pet lover that i am.. i would assume it lays a load of guilt on anyone who holds their pet in high esteem..

Twisted Life
by Mysterygirl ini just thought that i would share my life as a jw.
i was born into this cult in 1973. i was born as a hermaphodite (both sexes) this was of great shock to my parents, apparently the confided in one of the elders asking him what thay should do?
his respones was that i should be made male (the doctors at the time said i should be female) my parent took the avice of the elder and i was the made to be a male.. as i was growing up i beged my parents to allow me to be the person that god had wanted me to be but the elders kept reasuring me and my parent that god wanted me to be a male so that i could one day be a elder or s/overser.. in my teen years it became very apparent that my parents had made a mistake as i would act in a very female way.

The first thing that came to mind as i read your story is .WOW!
Who made them judge over what sex you should be? This truly shows the total lack of understanding and godly backing.
I Am glad you have the support of your siblings.I know from personal experience that that can be truly helpful.I hope this forum and those here can also be of encouragment and support to you.
With lots of support,,,Kat

Slipslidemaster,
Things come into our lives and make us blue.
One thing thats been helpful Ill pass on to you.
There are those persons among us,that are jewels among men,
And like diamonds that are so hard and true
These persons have things in common, with me, and with you.
Like jewels that begin as plain rocks down deep in the earth,
Its those pressures ariound that turns them into something of great worth
So though you may go thru much anguish and pain,
The jewel inside grows stronger again.

I'm a Volunteer!
by Euphemism inwell there've been a couple of times since i left the witnesses when i've looked into doing some volunteer work, once with the public library and once with the county democratic party.
but neither one panned out.. today, however, i met with a board member of yffn, the local gay-rights organization.
they need some database work and possibly some other computer help; and i'm going to their office on saturday to see what i can do.. i also had my first letter to the editor published on sunday... it was opposing a proposed amendement to the state constitution to ban gay marriage.. i've been wanting to do volunteer work for some time, and i've also been wanting to be involved in political advocacy in some way.

Sister, we're all poets...
by Huxley inhere's an idea, post a poem you enjoy or created yourself.
..one catch, make it three lines only.. .
it doesn't have to be great poetry...for example here's mine.. .

sister were all poets ,a strange line to begin.
But little poems are fun to write,
specially ones that make us grin.
