The organization as a whole, not really. The small amount that might be good on a community or humanitarian level is overshadowed by the bad. Individually, I know tons of sincere, loving JWs. Misguided and (I think) deluded into believing they're truly happy with their lot in life (maybe they are, who am I to judge), but sincere and doing their best in the face of a lot of organizational hypocrisy and rigidity.

Hello, long time not being here
by CeriseRose inhi folks...just thought i'd breeze by and say hellos.
life got extremely busy of late but is now starting to settle.

Thanks everyone! It's been insanely busy but it's all positives. I hope as life settles more to be able to pop back in more regularly. Unfortunately, Talesin, it's not a green card yet. :( Right now I'm "out of status" (the grey area that falls on people who come to get married once they have married...) which means I'm basically just here as a wife and nothing else. After going through the next round of paperwork and interviews I'll have a conditional green card. (There's so much to this process, I'm really glad I'm sure about this fella or it just wouldn't be worth all the hassle! LOL) :)

I haven't been here in awhile and haven't read one of your synopses in even longer. You do such excellent work, and in a really understandable way.
On another note, I haven't read any JW crap in so long, my skin is crawling at reading their garbage and for how long I bought into it. *shudder*
Thanks for all you do, Blondie! :) -

Hi folks...just thought I'd breeze by and say hellos. Life got extremely busy of late but is now starting to settle. My biggest news, and what's been all-consuming is that my immigration visa came through and I've moved to the US (southern Washington state)! Not only that, but on July 30th, me and my sweetie got hitched! Yay! We're still settling me in, but life is good and happy. :) I hope everyone here's been keeping as well as possible. I'll try to do some thread catching up, but you all are just too prolific. ;)

Yoga
by CeriseRose inokay i got back from the doctor yesterday, and in the past 11 months, without doing anything in particular for diet and exercise, i've lost 12 pounds.
12 pounds!
i've been overweight my whole life and being able to "live" while losing is huge.. i joined curves and will be doing that 3-4 times per week.

Well those additional bits help...thanks for the info. I'll look into the Hatha yoga and pilates.
I'm not sure if watching a hot yoga instructor will help me relax.

I wondered about pilates but didn't 'get' how it differed from yoga. Or if it did.
I think I need to hit a library.

I don't know you, and hardly think you count me as a friend, but I wish you the best on your road ahead. I hope you can find healing and strength to face what you need to, and can find peace of mind and heart.

I'm watching the show now...it's EERIE how many similarities to the JWs.
(I mean, I knew it was a cult, just difficult to watch it being told like this and relating back.)

Thanks for the info...when I move to the US I'll look for the On Demand.
What is the difference between Hatha yoga and other kinds of yoga? This is the kind of thing that befuzzles me. Is it just the philosophy behind it, or the movements or ???
