I saw him last Saturday. I have seen him a number of times in the past and have even met him. Believe me -- he doesn't look as great in person. Don't get me wrong, he is still extremely sexy, but he does have a few more lines on his face.

How Many Here Actually Lock Their Doors At Night?
by minimus ini'm shocked by how many people i know who live in larger towns that do not lock their doors or windows.....do you?
-

Yep -- lock the doors and check them about 5 times before I turn in. (That is my OCD at work).
I have two older cars that I used to leave unlocked. Then one morning my husband went downstairs to find the doors of both cars open. We knew it was some punk kids because all they took was a CD player in the glove box -- which was a POS anyway. They didn't even take the $10 in the change slot. Lame.
Anyway, just to be on the safe side, everything gets locked up. And yes, having a dog helps alert us to anyone even walking by our house at night.

How Would You or Did You Leave The Organization??
by minimus inby choice, with a little help from the elders, faded slowly, disassociated????
how'd you get out?

I faded slowly over the course of a year. The elders came calling when a family member of mine ratted me, I moved away, never to be bothered by them again. Moving away was the best decision I made as it gave me a fresh start away from the org.

All of my presentations sucked. I hated going door to door -- especially the last 5 years I was in the org.
I once presented a magazine on science and I said something really stupid like "and you know how crazy scientists are". And the guy said "I'm a scientist". And that was the end of it. I apologized and walked away extremely embarassed.

The dread annual family visit
by sass_my_frass inwe're on our way to visit the family tonight (they're a five-hour flight away, it's a good way to live.
) i love my grandparents, and they're not jws, and they hate all this rubbish and i am only going over there to spend time with them, as we don't really know how much they have left.
since i was there a year ago there has been no progress with my jw parents - they're still depressed and disappointed in me, and i know they always will be.

Best of luck to you Sass!

Underground Lurker....Coming up for air.....
by Bourne ini have been a lurker for the last year...finally got the courage to post.
i guess you could say that i have successfully completed a "fade", although that was not my initial intent.
due to my being in an "unscriptural" separation for a number of months, (that, combined with my paranoia, hence, the alias) i have been forced to go underground.

Living forever in paradise earth...
by zeroday infor 28 years i believed in paradise earth.
it was my life.

I am amazed at people like my husband. He knows he is going to die one day and he accepts that. I was raised from birth that I was going to live forever, I know that is not going to happen. I haven't totally accepted that, but I still feel there is time. I think a little part of me hopes there is something after this life. But since I don't know, I don't dwell on it. I take one day at a time and now I can't really remember being a part of that mind numbing cult.
You will find a life -- it just happens. I desperately wanted to have friends again. Slowly but surely they appeared especially when I put myself out there. Yeah, it is scary, but so worth it. Try it. Try to just let go and see what happens. Invite people over -- possibly co-workers (that you like) and you might find that you can make friends outside of the JWs.

Even during my fade I was afraid to look up any anti-JW stuff on the internet. One of my therapists encouraged me to do so and finally did -- after my fade was successful. I found this site in order to help me cope with the aftermath of fading.
