well i did it...i actually made it to age 30. today, april 12th 1975 i was born and i am still trying to full comprehed the feeling that comes along with it.

my office threw me a party and i am having another one on fri, more the drunken type of gathering.

it is a good week but a part of me will never fully be able to comprehend the simple feeling of "birthday" lol..anyhow..i'm still alive!

I'm going to be 30 on Sep. 11 this year. I still can't believe it. I thought I would have it more together by now. It's really making me wake up that this is it. You get one life (hopefully more) and you better start using it. No more guilt, no more regrets, no more wishing I had people in my life that don't want me in their's. Someone once said to me- The first 30 years I spent doing the things everyone else wanted me to do, this next 30 years I'm going to do whatever the hel* I want!

I was df in 1993...

... i've heard of a new thought about "1914 the generation that will not pass away" that came out in 1994. what is everyone talking about?

love11

free- I heard that they will except the powder form of blood but not the liquid. But they end up making the powdre into liquid blood anyways so that sounds like double talk. It's like saying you can't have cows milk because cows are holy to god, but you can have powdered milk!

~~gonnzo~~ bonnzo- sorry I got your name wrong, I thought you were another jw trying to act like that wasn't true what is really going on.

rev 7:14 says the great crowd "comes out of" the great trib. not "lives" through. according to wts, this means those who live though and those who are resurrected.

Honestly this means nothing to me because I don't believe in the bible stories/ resurrection/ great crowd at all. But what is upsetting is that they do all of this work, work, work, and they still are not guaranteed a spot in the afterlife. This was not the case when I was growing up, the sisters/brothers were very haughty when it came to their beliefs that they were in the great crowd. Still this point is small potatoes compared to seperating from the publishing co. For me, this was all too much of a shock. Especially when one of my friends died at 15 years old from not taking blood/ fragments and everyone thought she was a martyr. Now I find out that she could have lived if it was left up to her conscience. They are horrible, horrible people that play on peoples need for spirituality. They slap all of these ridiculous rules on their contributors so that people feel like they are obeying god so therefore they must be blessed by god. Shame on them! Maybe gary didn't get word for word right due to the length of his absence from that evil company but at least he stands for something good now. I hope you can now understand where I am coming from and realize that I am not a bad person, but rather, someone that is appalled that an organization with this much authority is this irresponsible. There are better ways to make money in this world than to toy with peoples lives!

How do you keep your kids busy....

when you have work to do around the house?

mine is driving me crazy today and i can't get anything done.

what do you do?

love11

School?

First Graphic Arts

Then Theater

Then Computers

Now Psychology

I know it seems like I'm flighty but I guess I need to try something before I realize that it's not for me. Everything else in my life seems somewhat solid except for my choice in a career.

My sister is a hair stylist and she is putting herself through nursing school, the last time I heard. Good Luck in all of your endeavors .Love

the king of pop...michael jackson!

In the early 80's I'd say Michael Jackson. But since Prince became one, he took over that spot. I would listen to his sermon all the way through before slamming the door on him!!! Whoa!

Immigration and weddings...

so i've mentioned i'm engaged and may or may not have mentioned that i'm emigrating to the us from canada.

waiting in the immigration process, in a word, sucks.

add to that the we got shafted by a lawyer who didn't do what he was supposed to, so we lost 6 months of processing time not having our application in.

love11

That's great! Hope you like America. You have to take the pros with the cons. Just make sure you're moving for you and you'll be happy. My friend used to live in Portland and she said it was beautiful. The people there are more laid back than in the NorthEast, so I've been told. Kind of artsy and earthy. I'm just relaying to you how she put it to me. haha But seriously, have an adventure! Love

I wanted to take a computer class in High School but my mom wouldn't let me, she said that those machines are just toys and that I need to do something more productive like be a Bank Teller. So unlike me. So it was many years before I got to sit in front of a computer.

1995 Was the first time I really used a computer at length. I used to have to go to the library. Then my husbands work gave him a computer to take home. (for homework, haha) I ended up using it most of the time.

This is the first and only ex-jw site I have ever posted on. Sorry, but some of the other ones seem a little generic looking. mo Although to give them credit, I haven't really spent a long time looking around. I used to think that all ex-jw were evil and that it was a big mistake that I was put in that category. Boy, was I wrong! But that is what they want you to think as a jw. I was and still is a good person that just doesn't buy into the mind control anymore. I'm getting off of the subject, sorry.

The internet... My favorite thing to do is googling a search on everything and I'm becoming addicted to this site. I used to have a blog and my own website but it just got to be too much to keep up with. I've taken a few classes in college but would not consider myself an expert at this point. I used to fool around with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, but I'm considering taking a detour with my schooling major and go for something like Psychology. I know this was more info then you asked for but I just feel like talking. Thanks. Love

tsun- the hypocrisy doesn't stop there!

I forgot one- fish net stockings. I could not wear those. Even though they went really well with this one black dress I had. They have no fashion sense. Maybe I should have worn a biblical characters clothing... say... Eve's! haha All of the men would turn into rapist if you wore a skirt above the knee. Which I never wore. What a joke.
