Minimus,
I definitely can't win your poll for I'm neither first nor last. Anyway - to help you to get your statistics done:
Born into it 1967, decided to get out in 1980.
As already mentioned: What a waste of time (and of energy and childhood, not to mention the aftermath).
Fleas!?!
today i am 17. i just feel excited but i can't run up to witnesses and tell them... so instead i'll just quietly celebrate with all my friends on the board.
thanks guys-- you make life easier.
Happy Birthday RichieRich!
the jw have prohibited:
as of 1944, jw can?t take blood transfusions cause it is against the teaching and stuff (gen 9:4 => not eating blood)
with this one, why don?t the jw?s look at leviticus 3:17, which says, ?you must not eat any fat or any blood at all?
...don't vote, don't be tolerant to other peoples opinions, don't marry outside the org, don't have the kind of sex you like when and with whom you like, don't talk to apostates, don't read this, don't say that, don't, don't, don't ... (hell, I'm running out of breath)
Thanks for reminding me why I'm out...

Best wishes!
what is your power?.
what is the source?
who has the power you crave?.
To me power means wholeness because power comes from within. Whenever I feel whole I feel very powerful. But my power is not over others. It is strength. The strength I need to to carry on. It also works as inspiration in how to carry on best. Whenever I feel connected to myself I am in power. I gain this by looking quietly into myself. I do that by meditation, by longs walks or bicycle riding and by exercising. When I am in power that I am at ease and in a state of peace. This is a very powerful state.

I've got all four out some years ago so I know what you will go through. I would definitely suggest to use good pain killers, then relax and repeat "Everything will get better every day!". BTW if this is an issue for you you should consider it a good chance to loose some pounds!
Seriously: The first two days will be the worst but then it's going to get much better in short time. Just be careful to always keep the wounds clean. My dentist offered me a syringe and told me to fill it with water and give the wounds "a shower" with it once or twice a day. That seemed to help. And be sure to have lots of ice at home because the coldness helps to avoid swellings and eases the pain.
Leah!
adultery (sexual relations with a married man); after all i was a prude as an active jw.
i never thought i would do such a thing.
| sin | ||||
| A | noun | |||
| 1 | sin, sinning | |||
| an act that is regarded by theologians as a transgression of God's will. | ||||
As I don't believe in the existence of any god I can't sin. But I had a fair share of mistakes and also legal wrongdoing. I stole anti wrinkle skin treatment at the tender age of 18! Quite hillarious, isn't it? I also permanentely dodged the fare back then because I was so poor. I had just left home and lived below poverty line for the first three years. I didn't feel good about doing so anyway. I have always had a very strong sense of justness (due to my upbringing) that rapped on the knuckels. Funny enough I later worked at a court!
he's german.
hasn't been a pope from germany since the 11th century.
he was a very close friend of pope john paul ii and is expected to carry on along where the other pope left off.
As I'm German I have already heard of that man a couple of times before. He has quite a reputation for beeing conservative. I guess a lot of germans hate him. For example did he create heated debate amongst people when he made the church stepping out of the counseling of pregnant women who want to abort. This was - and still is - a very important issue in Germany, as our laws only allow women to abort when they can prove they had counseling. Not only the church gave counseling but they took a big part of it.
But after his election I watched a feature about him on TV (his biography, excerpts of former interviews, comments of others who know him) and for the first time I thought he probably isn't such a bad guy. After hearing what I heard I came to the conclusion that he is a honest truthsearcher. One could disagree with his outcomings anyway off course. But to me a person tends to win my acceptance when he's an honest searcher. So I'd say: Im not RC, but I guess he's not the worst choice for a church. I'd give him a cautious! We'll anyway see what will come out of it in the future.
i just had the strangest dream.
in the dream i went to bed tonight but when i awoke in the morning it was 1989 and i was still in high school.
i was in my younger body but with all of my current knowledge.
Being back in 1989 with todays knowledge I would definitely buy Microsoft stocks. As a result I would be happily living on Big Island Hawaii today drinking Pina Coladas and enjoying the beaches.
NICE DREAM! To bad it's just that.
Reality: I'm sitting in cold Germany, working 9 to 5 and driving around with my 15 year old car.
