  it seemed like a normal, tragic story, a hard-working mother who held down 2 jobs and all of her children went to college.. then the article says she was a devout jw.

  i had to do a double-take.. http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20050818/1025447.asp

  Very sad as is all senseless violence. It's also sad that human life has varying levels of outrage in our society. Put a young pretty blonde girl's picture up in that news story. I wonder how much more coverage it would get. What page was this article on in the paper Cygnus?

  Do you know who you are?

  being a chubbier woman most of my days - i've only known who i am in this body.

  i've now taken steps to reduce my size (i'm taking this seriously - i've decided to slim down & now "own" my number).

  i've always been a confident person, regardless of being chubby.

  Hi LouBelle. Hmm, that's a good question actually. I lost 50 pounds in the last year which brought me down to a normal weight. I don't know if it changed anything with me. It changes how shallow people view and treat you sometimes. The only thing I really realized was a increase in energy level. I do know some people that have lost weight and become incredibly arrogant. But they're usually of the anorexic 15 year old girl mentality.

  And I never said a word on any board about taking Cygnus back. I neither confirmed nor denied. I am in therapy, and I am working with my therapist on MY anger issues and forgiveness of myself and others. At this point in my life I am only concerned with me and my health. When the time comes, I will take a look at Cygnus to see if he is healthy and able to be in a relationship. Any other speculation on anyone's part, is just that, speculation......Cygnus comments that we MAY be married someday. That is providing we are both in good mental health. I'm not a stranger to violence or alcohol abuse. I was a mixed up girl, which NO, didn't give him the right to hit me, so before the words get twisted, that is not what I am saying. THAT is what I am working on. For me. So I can live a good life despite whatever Cyg chooses to do. I love Cygnus, but if he isn't healthy then I will just love him from a 300 mile distance. And to tell you the truth, before I got therapy, I was a bit desperate to work things out immediately with Cygnus, and to his credit he told me he was still too sick to be involved. He nor I want to rush back into any living arrangement. Nor do we want to see each other until much later.

  I came to the decision to forgive Cygnus because harboring hatred and anger is not anything that pays off.

  And where did this "Caty had a concussion and a bloody nose" rumor get started? AGAIN, like I did on JWO in March, which I regret and will end up regretting this I am sure, but I feel an obligation for everyone to have their facts straight. I had a black eye, and a fractured right lower rib. I will take responsibility for where I was wrong. I began drinking again after moving to Buffalo after 4 years sober. I hit Cygnus. I failed myself. I did sick sick things like depend on a man for my life. Hell will freeze over before that ever happens again. And now that I have said my peace, say yours, and let's be done with it.

  Chosen to post this? You have got to be kidding me. I didn't want any of this posted. Nor brought back up again on any board.

  Spiteful LonerYou are 71% Rational, 14% Extroverted, 71% Brutal, and 14% Arrogant.

  ....and it seems that you would be quite likely to shoot innocent people in a rampage. Not only that, but you are also a very humble person--not a braggart at all--meaning you could possibly have low-self esteem. This is only yet one more incentive to go on a shooting rampage, because you wouldn't care if you died as a result....

  when you were still in the org, did you ever wonder what the apostates were saying?

  the society would just say lies and half truths.i always assumed it was about the trinity, and other religious stuff.

  i thought they were exjws who had become born agains !.

  When I was a teenager there was an well-known apostate in this area who was a bit older, maybe 25 or so. He was the brother of a woman who went to the hall that we did. HE WAS HOT! I remember seeing him in service one day and everyone in the car-group whispering, "oh how incredibly sad, that's so-and-so's brother, he's gone the way of apostacy." I thought to myself, if that's what an apostate looks like, count me in. I've heard that he actually went back to the JW's recently due to 9-11 and believing it to be a sign of armageddon being "right around the corner"...which....is such a stupid phrase.
