I am a computer nitwit. I have no shame in admitting it, I am a computer nitwit.
Now, my computer is pretty old, and every now and then some part of it breaks down, or is in desperate need for replacement. Like a few months ago, when a new monitor was an absolute necessity *looks fondly at new 19 inch flatscreen*
I have no idea what to buy, do or whatever, when something goes wrong, and so I have managed to form a network around me of computerexperts that help me when something happens.
But, I am also a girl that likes to clean up after the mess I create myself, and so yesterday, I decided to take matters into my own hands, and not call for assistance.... My designated project was cleaning my 5 year old keyboard. Over the years it had suffered from spilled bear *sticky*, dropped ash *dirty* the regular dust etc. But when I was struck with a sudden cold yesterday and sneezed over it, I decided that cleaning it was not a bad idea. Ugh.
So, I unhooked my keyboard, and looked intensely at it, trying to figure out how to take it apart. The first thing I did was unscrewing the screws at the back.... Weird enough, I couldn't manage to separate the top from bottom, even tho all the screws were out. Ahem... After about 20 minutes of pulling, begging, poking etc, I accidentally kicked a key out of the thing. Aha! So that's how it was done... I took all the keys out, cleaned them, and placed them back in. While doing this (it took me over an hour) I remember thinking it would have been easier to just buy a new one...
When I was done, my keyboard shined brightly, it looked like brand new. I plugged it in again, and started typing. And panic arose right after my first word attempt. The letter *E* locked down my entire computer. The *I* started a magnifying glass *didn't even know that was an option on the computer* ... and so on... I could not type any word without all kinds of warning signs going off.
So, I picked up the phone, and called my friend, who laughed his ass off, asking how in hells name I had managed to do this. LOL. So I went to the store this morning *while asking my friend what to buy * and bought a new one. Its gorgeous, blue and white, by Microsoft. Its like pure heaven typing on this thing.
*shakes head at self* I am so dumb when it comes to computers....

Stinky, thanx for that article. Amazing that there was a time when I would have agreed with it. Now, I'm ROFL at the stupidity it shows. Thanx.

I kinda am in agreement with every comment made here. But the one that striked me the most is Lady Lee's. Respect for one another, even when we don't agree with the choiches they make, thats one the most important things we can do.
Tho, if my mum would make a comment like yours Scooby, I'd bring on the full forces to get her act straight again. Cuz i love her deeply, and it would hurt my soul to see her sucked into a mindconsuming cult again.
Now, I do understand. As a witness, life is simplified, easy, comfy. Eternity is on the palm of your hand, your brothers and sisters are loving and caring and you feel like you have a place in this world, like you belong. I can understand you missing that feeling.
I do believe that, despite what Minimus said, Scooby is treated nicely by the brothers and sisters. I am too. Granted, hardcore elders and pioneers will shun me, but there are some brothers and sisters that talk to me when they see me, hug me, cry cuz they missed me *that happened on the one occasion I stepped foot in a KH after my DF* and in general are just nice to me. Some are. Others aren't, and I take great pleasure in showing them they are morons, but I am kinder to those still being kind to me.
The truth is, the WTBTS does NOT have the truth. There are many threads here that will prove that, many strings of logic that pull away the foundations of WT-doctrine. How could one ever stand behind an organisation, when you KNOW it is not holding truth.
In any case, my advise would be to let it go, accept you know and don't go back. Start a new life, with new friends, and live your own life. But the choice is, as always, yours. Find your happiness, and peace.

I am going to try hanging out with you people
by CruithneLaLuna inhello, new member here.. i registered a couple of years ago, but my initial experiences here were not of the warm/fuzzy variety, which must have been what i needed at the time; so, i left.
recenty, a friend gently suggested that i might want to give interacting here a second try.. so's i don't have to type it twice, i offer here a hyperlink to my member profile.. although one might reasonably be named "cruithne" - especially if one is irish or scottish - it is not my real name.
well, of course it is my real name, in that i choose to be known by it.

Good luck Northern Girl. I hope you find happiness and peace. But please remember always, that you always have a choice, and you can always leave again, and be free here, in the world.
Every decision you make, is the right one at that moment. But never think that because you made that decision, you cannot change it and take a different path to live your life. *My aunt said that to me*

I would have an elite core of Viv-worshippers close by all the time. I would give huge parties for all those who worshipped me. I would make all others work like mules and raise extremely high taxes, that would be spend on those parties.
I'd be a tyrant
