when i was 17 my older brother went to bethel.
our whole family was so proud that we had someone in high places.
lol well it didn't last long.
hi tim! sorry, i have no ideas about how to find your brother. but i think you are doing a great thing. good for you for trying to "make things right again" with him.
i know how you feel. i have a sister somewhere that i have never met. it's a weird feeling.
good luck in your search tim!!!

do you fear death?if so,do you fear it because of the pain that is likely to go along with it?or because of what will become of your soul(your self)after death?.
curiosly,i find that i no longer fear death.not that i want to die-i don't.but i wonder if this how i should feel.. i don't like pain,but i have a fairly high threshold of pain,i think.i'm sure there is much greater pain than what i have experienced,but though i avoid it when at all possible(including spankings...sorry chat babes),i'm not afraid that i can't deal with it if i have to.. likewise death,i just have no great fear of it anymore.i don't think that it's due to my beliefs about what will happen after i die...i don't have any.sure,i was raised a j.w.,instilled from birth with the idea that if i didn't survive armageddon,that i'd be resurrected thereafter.but i don't buy that anymore...neccesarily.nor do i believe in the heaven or hell concept...neccesarily.i do believe that if i'm the best kind of person i can be,then it will have to be good enough for whatever,if anything,lies beyond the life i'm living now.. in talking to others,though,i find very few(if any)people who don't have a pretty high degree of fear about death.it has me wondering,and i'd appreciate your comments.. cowboy.
we ride and never worry about the fall.
i don't fear my own death at all. but i do however fear the pain that comes from death of friends and family. i totally can't deal when someone close to me dies. i don't even want to think about it.
but, i often find myself fantasizing about my own death (don't get me wrong, i don't WANT to die) but i get really lost in thoughts of death, ways to die, what after-life/lives there may be, and so on...
meh. life's good. have fun.
i can't fight this feeling any longer.
i just have to get to australia to meet in person, the man of my dreams.
actually, the man of ladonna and my dreams.
bruce, get back to the bedroom..now! i win ana and lilacs...i win!

ok as i mentioned before i lost my virginity recently.
well since then my sex drive has shot up.
as you all know i am now hopelessly in love with bea (bitter mango) and now i can't stop thinking about xena.
hehehe. ummm, you need to go and find some more sex...NOW! :)
we visited angharad's parents at the weekend and got a call on sunday night from her sister who'd been called by my sister as they hadn't been able to contact us .... the message was not a happy one:.
my dad has had a heart attack and was in intensive care in hospital.. it was a while before i managed to speak to anyone over there with people probably out but i eventually spoke to his wife who says he's doing ok and has now been moved to the main ward but is being kept in as you would expect.
he may have to be moved to calgary for some investigation / tests.. he had heart surgery about 15 years ago and i think 4 of his 5 bypasses have failed so he has to take quite a bit of medicine for pain and stuff.
(((simon and dad))) sorry! :(
i just came across this site not too long ago and have been reading the stories.
i am filled with relief and at the same time frustration mixed with tears, because i have been holding my story in and not sharing it with anyone, except my husband.
i have felt many of the feelings expressed here but was afraid to say them out loud for fear of being an 'apostate'.
hi tera ! welcome to the board ... and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
i was wondering if somebody could post my picture for me.
i have a holiday card with my soon-to-be family's picture on it.
i don't have a scanner to put it on the net for everybody to see.
hey jer, since you sent me your lovely pics, i will try to get them up for you. may be a few days as i will have to use a friend's scanner. i'll let ya know :)
i hope my user name doesn't offend anyone - it actually stands for the [syn] command your computer uses to connect to other computers on the web, not what you were thinking!.
is this board mainly for jw or ex-jw people?
curious.... also...i have heard the phrase 'dub' used to describe jw people.
syn, who is your profile pic of?!
