why, exactly, are you here on jwd?.

are you out of the jw's and still needing association with like people?.

do you lack the skills to have real friends in real life?.

((((((Lisa)))))) I knew you were secure and okay But I am aware of how some can be affected and I try really carefully not to cause anyone discomfort angst or general feelings of being *pissed off* alas we cannot control everything.

True on smaller boards you are missed more than here, and again that may be why we or others are comfortable here, here you can be another avatar on the screen or you can be a multi number poster and mega popular, I know some are offended or hurt if we post and no one *notices* them*. It can be a notice me,me, me thing. For whatever reason people are here at JWD I have seen strong bonds formed and un-shakable friendships made not to mention the marriages.

Thanks Animal and Lisa

Hi HL

I am going to third the sinus infection theory, Were you guys having the same nasty rainy weather we had for so long? down your way. if so it could be nasty mold? ( I will PM some thoughts). if I voice a perscription/therapy for something you might want to try, and someone else does it and they get all stupid from it then I get yelled out and so-on and so-forth.

Since you asked Animal. What's your take on this?

I do wonder why some people are hurt, confused, angry, and judgmental or (whatever) when a person makes the personal decision to quit visiting a board. Here at JWD it’s not as noticeable as you can tell. Be off this board a while and you come back as a newbie, cause there are so many new names some are old people with new names I realize but anyway. I’m talking about small boards where you leave and it’s almost offensive to people & they take it personally. One thing about JWD we can float in and out, and posters are happy to see us or not. But we're welcome back and usually in a nice way when we drop in.

I have had to prioritize , which means I have a one track mind and I have had to concentrate on school and stop the boards because of time mainly, some other things bothered me but not enough to make an issue over them. And besides we do have to decide when to draw the line so to speak. Not an overwhelmingly brilliant question but I have seen this happen so many times I can't help but wonder.

Narkissos what an eloquent post.

WOW! Animal what a great thread! and your reveal about your own thought's is much appreciated

Icome for the stimulating textual intercourse with the religious taste about it...
with the vague hope for an orgasmic eppiphany or to give one

And all the times I been here to JWD I ain't never had this happen ^ well we can always hope

Oh and Animal you gotta admit there are some awsome people here at JWD, And if not for this port I would never of met them. And man oh man am I ever happy to say I have met some of the coolest people ever. LIke, LISAvegas, and Searcher, Cowboy, 4XJWY, And others,

And I concur with Minimus response, if we can say something "theocratic" or non- the, and it helps others stay away from the cult practice then we have spent a day, or minute well spent, and in good company for the most part.

And it is both enlightening and entertaining, what with the collection of knowledge in one space, and I for one have never been in this close of contact with a changeling how cool is that?

And I indeed know someone elses words can hurt us , the trick is do we continue to allow them to hurt us? or do damage?

There are times for many when the need is there to depend on someone else's strength, it doesn't ,mean I no longer have my own resources for strength it just means I have a new prospective and a another view. there can be some genuine good from this board and others, if it works for someone then who are we to claim they are leaning on something besides there own selves? and then there is the great aposta-fests.

Peace to you Animal

Hi Animal you durned ole' moronic Morman <that may of been prophetic, considering how many Mormen live where you are/were from)

Actually the questions are good ones, some people may detect a bit of anger where perhaps none exist ? I don't know, I'm just saying could be is all.

Why, exactly, are you here on JWD?

Tonight I got a heads up, Originally it was to meet a long lost person who I had found out had been DF'd and I had been on-line for a total of three days, and was struggling to find out what the heck I was suffering in jwd land for when it was hurting me so much. And as I recall because of where you lived I took a chance and asked you if you knew the lady, you replied, No. thank you so far I still search for her.

Are you out of the JW's and still needing association with like people?

I am out and danged proud of it, plus so are my grown children and truthfully and I apreciate the fact we are very close, but depite the jw strict life I/we lived I maintained a good relationship with my kids. And for many months I DID need the association with "like" persons that could relate.

Do you lack the skills to have real friends in real life?

Ok now this one probably pissed people off, I on the other hand am not so easily offended( I took my meds today). And yes I can make friends in real life. Really I can

Do you prefer people with the same experiences you had?

Sometimes depending on the expierience. But on the other hand it really depends on whether the person is cool, a jerk, sincere, or mearly a pain in the ass no matter what they go through.

Can you not let go of the past, thus reliving it thru others posts?

OKay now this may of touched a sore spot too, just saying. Uhm yes I have let go. When I relive the past now it is a roaring success and no longer includes valium.

I am curious, and hopefully not setting anyone off here. Answer at will.
Animal

Well you freaking know what curiosity done to the cat right Animal? And yes, yes you did set me off this is my first post in like ten months on any board. I "quit" the boards cause they were like turning into (well I don't want to say)<actually I can't think of a comparison) so I'll just say I quit cause they were repetitive, boring, I didn't "get" the anger people were having, oh and that one-Nut-what's-his-name plain old made my butt want a dip of snuff, doctor my ass!. Anyway.

Carry on. glad to see and old' face on the screen, hope all is well in your family. XX Dorothy

yesterday afternoon my older son, karl, who is studying musical production at brighton university, came round to see his family.

he had just been to see his pregnant girlfriend, who is staying with her mum and dad for a week.. karl is a wonderful boy; the type of son any parent would be proud of.

he is loving, considerate, respectful and has never once caused any trouble or been in any.
