  Hi everybody I'm new

  i am a long time lurker who has come out of the closet.

  i have read many fine posts here and feel for all of you who have been hurt by the witnesses.

  they are a lying, unaccountable organization - with an emphasis on the word unaccountable!

  always on the fringes because I work full time

  Haha, I can relate to THAT one. I betcha they have told you on many occasions to give up your job. Make more effort to serve Jehovah, take the first step and you will see that Jehovah will bless your efforts abundantly. I've heard it all and it used to tick me off quite a bit. Single women have to put food on the table and buy clothes as well, and since most don't have a college education because it is looked down upon within the organization, they have to take jobs that don't pay well, and thus work full time, or even two jobs, in order to make a living.

  Welcome to the forum!!

  Another "ghostly" experience last night!

  ok, if any of you have read the other thread about ghosts, you will remember that i dont care too much for them!

  just a few minutes ago my daugter told me she had a weird one last night here in the house, where i have never had a problem.

  she was in the bathroom brushing her teeth, and "one "of the holders on the counter that are all made of heavy glass, started shaking back and forth like crazy.

  Okay, I never believed in ghosts, until the day I started working at a so-called "haunted" place. Trust me, I can write a book about it. Many employees quit after they had gotten a whiff of the "unusual events". You have NO idea. Therefore, I would like to keep an open mind on this subject. But don't forget that 99.9% of 'unusual happenings' can be explained one way or another.

  Goodbye Old Friend.......

  absolutely gutted tonight......got in from work and my sisters dog "lady" had just passed away.

  i missed her literally by 5 minutes.

  she hadn't been ill and had been out for a walk this morning as usual, when my sister came in from work she was just laid in her basket, but was barely alive, fixed eyes and very shallow breathing, i think she must have had a stroke at some point this afternoon.

  A JWD / Knowledge Jones ...

  i've been thinking about it in my sleep ... can sleep.

  it's been less than a month since i stumbled onto this site while researching the roots of jwism for a character i'm writing on.

  since then, i haven't written anything, haven't done much recreationally .... i've just been digging deeper through this site and simultaneously .... digging through my memories of growing up dub.

  That's why I thought the wilderness retreat idea was so cool

  Same here. I've been living in the boonies for 12 years now, and it is more than worth it. Traffic has gotten a bit 'heavier' in recent years (about 60 cars a day pass by my place), but there used to be a time when things were very quiet around here. It certainly helps with the writing.

  NNNNNOOOOOOOO, Taylor is a WRITER?? Aren't you the one who is going to move in with me, once I build my modest house in the middle of nowhere, with some chickens and some pigs? What a hoot. I write as well. (My first book is going to be in the bookstores sometime by the end of this coming summer).

  I hear you on the JWD addiction. It happened to me as well, when I first registered. Luckily, I have knocked some discipline into myself once again. My writing was suffering, there was not enough time in an evening to do both, be on JWD and write..

  madison, wis. - hunter mark smith welcomes wild birds on to his property, but if he sees a cat, he thinks the "invasive" animal should be considered fair game.

  the 48-year-old firefighter from la crosse has proposed that hunters in wisconsin make free-roaming domestic cats an "unprotected species" that could be shot at will by anyone with a small-game license.

  Here's a thread from last year about this issue .... the conversation got quite fiesty, but all turned out well. :)

  Ooohh, that was quite a thread, talesin. I won't have time to read all 5 the pages, and was wondering what happened in the end.. wondering if FMZ killed the cats or not.. I hope I'll have time to read it later, got me a bit curious.
