I always thought if you couldn't smell something, then you couldn't taste it either. But I know someone who can't smell and she appears to taste just fine.
I guess if I HAD to give up something it would be taste.

Confucious -- are you a single man? Perhaps she was interested in fresh meat? Sad I know -- but since I was a single "sister" I was always on the look out.

I was born into the org. DF'd at 19 and reinstated a year later thanks to my mother pushing me. I made it back in and stayed in for another 10 years. After that I just walked away. Yes, I was living a double life and didn't want the JW part of it anymore -- I didn't realize all wrong teachings and dates until after I left. I am in my 30s now and know I will never go back. . . . ever.

My daughter started high school last week -- so I can relate to how you feel. I used to cry every year I would take her to her first day of school -- she was getting so big and grown up each year. I stopped crying last year and now I THANK GOD she is gone. LOL Sometimes its like that with a teen. But I have 100% encouraged college and told her I would pay for it -- she is taking two honors classes this first year to prepare. I am very proud of her!!!! She has her whole life ahead of her without being stifled by a religion.

Yup -- Ketchup on the eggs is okay in my book. Even better when you are having eggs AND potatoes.

Do you open the mail, even if it's not addressed to you?
by Maverick inwhen i was married my wife would open all the mail, even personal letters sent to me or our daughter.
i hated it!
if the letters where from old friends of the female persuasion she would give them to me later, opened and often mangled, in the evening and want an explaination.

Always. BF gets stuff and it takes him about three days to open -- I am not that patient. He gets a lot of letters from his ex's attorney and I rip those open right away -- and decifer the legal stuff for him. He could care less whether I open his mail or not -- so I do.

A Cup of Urine A Day Will Keep The Doctor Away
by minimus inaccording to yahoo news, if you drink a cup of urine a day, you can get rid of dandruff, graying hair can turn black, sinus trouble can vanish and even cancer can be cured!
in thailand, buddhist monks do this regularly and swear by it!.....what do you think?
?

I remember a teacher in high school (many moons ago) telling us that if we broke down in our car (say, in the desert) that we could pee in a cup (hopefully we had one) and then cover the cup with a hubcap -- condensation would collect on the top and we could drink that. Why I remember that I have no idea. I never had the opportunity to use that bit of worthless knowledge.
Either option is not very appealing.

Are You SURE JWs Don't Have The Truth???
by minimus inhas anyone here ever questioned whether or not they made the right decision to leave the "truth"?......i'm sure glad i'm out!

Purza
I no longer believe it is the truth. I used to wake up in a cold sweat thinking I would die when the end came, but I have made peace with the fact that one day I will die.
Yes, I no longer have dozens of friends and yes, my family shuns me. Am I happier now being out of the org? You bet I am!!!!!

Holidays and kids once you are out of the Org
by Iforget inmy son was born after i faded.
his dad and i always have had christmas (father never was jw).
we celebrate his birthday and we do easter.

We just started celebrating the holidays this past year. My teenage daughter is very much into it. Today she asked me for something and I said no. And she said. . . "well christmas is coming up". I get very weirded out when I hear her say that. The fact that holidays are so wrong is ingrained in my mind -- I celebrate them because its fun, but my heart is not really in it. I sometimes feel like I am in limbo -- and like I am doing something wrong. It is a strange feeling and I hope it will go fade with time.
My BF asked if we could get a tree this year -- last year I said okay to lights on the house -- but I don't know if I can handle a tree. We did go to Sears after christmas last year and we bought two reindeer that are full of lights for the front lawn. LOL I guess I might as well give in and get a tree. Sigh. . .
