I have always had cats, usually two at a time but now only one as she's a "one cat family" cat and can't stand any competition. I'm also especially fond of horses, but had to find another home for mine last year when I became too ill to look after her myself.

LittleToe's Travels - Nov 2004
by LittleToe inso the prelude to this wee trip starts with work - doesn't it always.. as part of my recent job change i had to write a paper that needed agreement with most of the local authorities (health board, council - which is kinda like our version of city hall, etc.
) before it gets submitted to the ministers at the scottish parliment at the end of december.. well, after one long round of consultation (during which i produced a 39 page consultation document), another few weeks creating the first draft (another 27 pages) i was all ready to go to press the next day when i got an eleventh hour email (at 5:30pm, just before i went home).
it changed everything!

Congratulations on your Evangelist graduation L.T.
so that she could be "normal" again.
This sounds like exactly the same thing my mother said to me when I told her I was pregnant. All she wanted was for me to come back to the "truth" so that we could all be a "proper" family again.
Strange isn't it, peoples' perception of "normality"?

according to the information i've found online the last posting day for standard parcels is dec 11th for usa and december 15th for the uk/europe, so you should all have plenty of time to select and send a gift, although sending sooner rather than later is prefered.
can everyone taking part post on this thread what things they like, what their interests are etc so that the person who is buying a gift for you has some idea what to get you.

Whoever gets to be my Secret Santa, I did say that I'm not fussy. However, Gadget said to post some ideas: Anything Christmassy. I love animals especially horses and cats. I like the outdoors, so any nice pictures/photos of landscapes etc. I enjoy reading, but have a lot of books to get through at the moment. Anything that gives a clue to the personality/interests/whereabouts of my secret Santa. I'm really not fussy.
I hate fruitcakes.
You shouldn't be so biased. I'm married to one.

I remember the first time I celebrated Christmas. It wasn't a problem what people thought as I'd also moved, but I did have "guilt" feelings and thought I may be struck by lightning or something. Amazing just how controlled your mind can be.
Anyway, I think the best thing to do is just enjoy the whole festive season.

by kat2u inthis may be a bit long,,, sorry,.
my daughter t was born when i was a married witness,i was almost 21.she was a very sweet outgoing loving child.when she was 4 i had another daughter s .
lol this one was my challenge when she was little but is now such a joy to me.. anyway t began school at 5 and seemed to be doing well with school and her friends.. just about a month after she began 1st grade we had stopped to eat lunch while out in service.t suddenly made a strange noise she looked off into space with a strange stare and wouldnt respond to anything we said or did.i was in a panic by the time she began talking again and told us that she heard us but couldnt answer us at that point.demons?was my first thought but as i began to ask her about it then i began to feel she had had a small seizure.

Hi Kat,
Have been away for a while so have only just read your post. My heart goes out to you. But in your despair it is still encouraging to hear that you never want to be a witness again. One day, I hope that your daughter will remember that you were there for her when she needed you.
Many Hugs,

Jesus said to give tax to those demanding it.
Couldn't agree more. What happened to giving back Caesar's things to Caesar?

I went looking for something else 'just to make sure' and found it. I then got kicked out for having done that. Been out for 17 years, but have only made peace with myself since finding this board a few months ago.

Last time 'the time of the end' thing came up, I said "you know what? even if I still thought you were right, the thought of all your love bombing when I come back to the JWs would be enough to put me off. Yesterday you wouldn't have pi**ed on me if I'd been on fire!! And even if I get through the big A, imagine having to spend eternity with a bunch of people like you. NO THANKS.
