did that gave you the creeps?
for the past three weeks i have been home, on sickleave.
nothing serieus, just uncomfy.
(((Cicatrix))) you are most definatly not alone, just like this comunity proves. "When i say i am "over it" i mean i lost the sense of intense anger, and hurt i felt when i left. The sense of betrayel has lessened to knowing i was duped . But it is a part of me, all of us, and in that sense i'll never "get over it"...

how sorry i was to hear from dansk-he is going through a very difficult time.. i would like all prayers, thoughts, please keep this in mind ____ for me!!!!.
the sad news he has cancer.it is lymphoma!!!
they are waiting on the results of the biopsy before determining treatment..... he didnt want me to say anything at first- as he feels you all have your own problems & he didnt want to upset anyone-because he says "they are dear friends".

with all the talk about how awful the convention is i am thinking about going this weekend in fort worth just for kicks and giggles... and to record the talks.
does anyone local to the dfw are have a digital recorder that can record up to eight hours of voice?
i'd like to try to avoid buying one.
Blondies suggestion rocks, wouldn't mind going with that
okay, here's the deal.
i work on a temp-basis.
which means my boss at the library can fire me and give me a day's notice for it.
Okay, here's the deal. I work on a temp-basis. Which means my boss at the library can fire me and give me a day's notice for it. I have no rights at all ....
Now, I have been registered as sick, for 3 weeks already. My every day headaches are getting examined, and that means i am not allowed to take any painkillers, and just grind my teeth to get trough some horrible days. Anyway, i figured by this time i would be able to go back to work ... but my headaches are as subborn as i am, so they still bugger the hell outta me. Now, i need to get my ass to a neurologist and get an even better examination. The appointment is scheduled on July 14th, and till that time i cannot kill my pain with those wonderful lill'pills.
No problem, i can manage a relaxing day, heck, i even do some, not too demanding, fun stuff (walking, sitting in the sun etc). However, work is not an option, i tend to get waves of headaches every two hours or more, so i nicely stay at home .... sick.
Now, since i work on a temp basis, it is highly lickely i will loose my hours at the library. So, since i almost for sure know thats gonna happen, i am also applying for other jobs, stating i can start on July 15th. A girl gotta keep options ... so, just now, i hear a phone company needs a salesgirl for 12 hours a week, close by home. So i phone the number given, state what i am calling for ........ AND ..... *drum roll* ..... turns out she works for the temp agency i work for as well. So, next thing i know, i get grilled as to the why and how i am listed as sick and am applying for a new job at the same time ... they thought i was taking advantage of the sick-pay i get .....
*sigh* this is just stupid.

to all you animal lovers out there.. i awoke this morning to find that my dog had passed away during the night.. he was a golden retriever cross and the baby of the family.
he loved the kids and would lie down so my 2 year old could sit and lie on him.. he dug out of the back yard and got into my gardening stuff.
he ate half a box of snail bait.. i'm feeling really guilty, sould not have left it out.
(((Lehaa))) it is def. NOT you fault. Dogs can get into all sorts of trouble, and you cannot be blamed for it. Once a dog of mine got out, and ate some rotten meat or something, she was so very sick ... but those things happen .... So sad when you loose one tho. Hugs to you, and the advice of getting a new puppy asap is really good.

Thanx for the well wishes, Shera, Lehaa, Dansk ...
Ozzie, yeah, it does feel like that, more so then the JW's ever did actually.
Emma, thank you, such a sweet thing to say. I guess that was when I was unemployed and had plenty of time But even when I am not around much, im not even considering leaving the board .....

just interested!.
when you were disfellowshipped, who was the first person you contacted?.
i'm just about to write a letter to my cousin who was disfellowshipped 15 years ago.. .
Well, when i realised i was about to get DF, i called my mum and told her (then a jw) that i was no longer to be considered a member, and was about to be DF. My biggest fear was she would treat me like she was supposed to - shun me. But she never did "if they tell me i cannot speak to my DF daughter, they better DF me as well"................In case you read this mum, i love you forever just for that statement
And then i didn't contact anyone, tho i had just found an amazing friend (also ex JW) who helped me through it.
.
nice to have you back!!!
....sooooooo how was the wedding & more importantly the honeymoon??????
Yes, we want to know! Welcome back!
as i reflect on my time spent as a jw, there are certain issues that continue to disturb me about my conduct and lifestyle as a member of that so-called 'religion'.. from the outset, let me state that i did not suffer any physical, sexual, or mental abuse from any members of the cult, that so unfortunately was inflicted upon many persons who now can gladly consider themselves as ex-members of that sorry excuse for a humane (or godly, whichever way you prefer to recognise it) organisation.
certainly, there were conflicts of personality, and some bad business dealings, but, really, i consider that i 'got off lightly' from the fifteen or so years i wasted as a member.. one thing is certain - that no-one, i repeat, no-one, can spend any time as part of that cult and, who manages to escape, who will come away unscathed.
all will carry some form of scar.. so what are my concerns?
Cheeses, here's a for ya. Be proud of yourself, having spend so much time in the borg, and yet you managed to see what they were all about. It takes courage to leave a life behind you in search for greener pastures, and you did.
