to all of my very dear friends on jwd, i want to thank all of you so very much for your thoughts prayers and good vibrations of harmony.
i am so happy that everything went well.
there were some touch and go moments in the operating room which lead me to intensive care.
Happy for you and hope all is well!!!!!

for years, the watchtower drilled into us that we are just specs of unimportant dust.
personal pride was touted as being something wrong and a trait of the devil.
that mentality stifles creativity and initiative, which i suppose is what they want.
I personally think that my most fav is the upbring of my kids. This has the biggest step for me to change in the mental thinking of how to raise them. I feel that pull of what my mind feels as normal, on a regaular basis. Then I just look at them and realize that they are teaching me. The are the best thing that could happen in my life. There are days I wish I had been a little older when I had then or my situation was diffrent, but this is what has grounded me in my thinking and thoughts more than anything. The times I love the most are Xmas and B days. I think I may be just a big kid! I was the one up at 6:00 am Xmas morning and couldn't wait! This is something I would just keep on about but I love my kids more than I can even express and feel that they have the ability to show love in such a pure way,that it makes anything else seem small .

i would like for it to be known that my being apart of jwd has been an experience that has given me hope.
i've come to enjoy being a part of the online community, so much so that it's what i look forward to when my day involves something other than being here.
the only thing better than being here would be to experience being with you all, face to face.
That was really well said and I feel the same with many parts! Great thread!!!
HUGS!!!!

i think i've finally left the jw's.
i have not been an active member since 2000, but always thought i would go back.
the problem (or solution) has been that i started to reason on how the true god or super being really viewed mankind.
Welcome...there are many great people here!

hi guys and gals....... .
i would just like to extend greetings to all those poor souls who had to endure the torturous childhood of growing up in a strict jw lifestyle as i had.
i didn't know that there were such forums on the net, and i was made aware of this by my sister who is also a member here, i believe.. i find this kind of funny really.
Welcome!!!!!!

i guess some things are meant to be.
"it's sad to belong to someone else when the right one comes along"....why are we always outta sync with what our heart really wants.
why is it so hard to do the right thing sometimes?.
Hi Hill!
First I want to give you a hug!!!!
I know that our choices in life take us to a place where we beginto think and feel more or less of a situtation. Some times emotions can be so srong it makes us question them. All I can say is be true to yourself! Do what you truely feel you need to make you complete as a person. I don't think we should ever put our feelings on a back burner. Timing can sometimes be cruel and heartless..but at the same time have the power to heal in a very powerfull way. Do what is best for you!!! but always way the others who are involved. You should never feel like you owe someone your feelings....but you do owe them to be honest!

ok it has been a little bit since there was a fluffy post by p2..so here it goes!.
i have been thinking the last few months about family,friends and what role they take in my life.i have a good circle of people where i live but many do not understand my need to be who i am and to just live life and not give a hoot what anyone else feels the right or wrong way should be.
i live my life based on what i feel is right for myself and my kids...not what most would feel as the norm.

Maybe that friendship was at its purest because as a young person you are pure. I think many times as adults we complicate or lives and our feelings become more intense. Experiences make us hide what we feel or how we react to people around us. People who are true and pure I believe stay with us and become part of who you are.
