  KW13--good one

  Crumpet--I wish I could hear you say that out loud, you sound so British--it's really cute to me, I mean that as a compliment. Some day I want to go to England.

  Love Is . . . . .

  when you give your 12 year old daughter a big squeeze when you get home from work.

  she'll feign embarrassment and complain "oh dad" because she's not a 'kid' anymore but she won't pull away.

  When you break up with someone, and 3 years later you still miss them and wish they could have been your partner.

  If you could go back in time, how far would you go?

  by JH in

  .

  i'm not talking about going back 200 years now, what i mean is if you could go back to when you were younger, how far back would you go, and re live that period of time up to today, maybe in order to fix something that still bothers you today, or just for the joy of living it again.. if i could go back in time, i'd like to be 17 or 18 years old old again, go back to college, follow a different course, meet plenty of young poeple, party in the bars once more, and re live the joy of having young parents and having a full life in front of me.. how about you, how far back would you go?

  Disfellowshipped but sister in the 'truth' to be married soon

  by cyberdyne systems 101 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wanted to start a topic on an event that will occur sometime later this year - namely my sister is to be married.

  she is a witness as is her boyfriend, none of his family are in but only myself and my dad are not (he has never joined) from my sister imediate family.

  so i was wondering what to expect, what experiences people here have had being someone who has left and then later been disfellowshipped, and then finding they might be invited to a witness wedding?

  So sad, the life the JWs lead. One day your relatives may be out of the Borg and regret how they treated you during this time of so-called joy.

  Why I know the Watchtower has the Truth:

  2. friends

  i urge you to disregard any personal opinions voiced by anyone, including myself regarding watchtower society publications.

  but i would like to ask you to meditate on why god is so puny and ineffective.

  he must be the epitome of helplessness.

  That's a good one. Sometimes I really wonder how they could have fooled me for so many years, but alas I was a 12 year old girl following my older sister.

  vent time....friends who steal

  by lucifer in

  2. friends

  okay i need to vent, i have a good friend who steals, i'll call her tina.

  she is not poor, still lives with her parents who spoil her rotten, they buy her anything and ask for nothing in return.

  she has had one job i think and didn't like it so she told the manager off and quit after maybe a month...it was at a video store for f's sake!

  People who steal or lie really annoy me! I am married to someone who lies and his son lies, and I'm ready to divorce him. I really just cannot stand dishonest people who want to take advantage of me or other people.

  ok yesterday i was on my way to bally's and thought i would stop at target to get a coffee (they have a new starbucks in there) and get a few things first.. thing is, on my way there i noticed that there was just something in the atmosphere that day.

  pretty weird.

  couldn't put my finger on it.. target is located at the west end of a strip mall.

  BSOM--I think that is great! For many years I felt sooooo uncomfortable when I would see JWs I knew. Now I really don't care, in fact I was cracking up to myself the day before Easter--I was wearing an Easter sweater with bunnys and Easter eggs all over it and ran into a JW at Walmart. I was busy talking to someone else I knew so I looked over, smiled and said hi; she paused as if she was willing to speak to me but then moved on--probably after noticing my very Easter sweater--I was cracking up to myself.

  i work at target.

  back in the good ole' days, witnesses used to come in all the time to see me.

  i would say that there were maybe three or four families that came in regularly.. since the announcement was made though, i've had at least 35 diiferent people come in.

  Anyone know about 'cutting'?

  by love2Bworldly in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am researching cutting and self-mutilation because i have a close family member who is doing this--she burned her arm last week and it's bad.

  i was wondering--i found an article on the internet that talks about support for the person and how some people get relief by using other methods like icing the skin with ice cubs or flicking themselves with rubber bands.. this person is in therapy and in the care of a psyciatrist too but i just wondered how common this is.

  her diagnosis isn't even for sure--could be adhd or depression.. any comments on experience with this would be helpful.

  Your "New" Traditions?

  by whyamihere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  growing up as a jw, we were never allowed to have holidays or birthday's etc..... never able to show my brothers affection on their special day killed me.

  now every year, i sing "happy birthday" to my brothers nick and ben.

  i call them on their birthday, if they pick up the phone i yell and tell them i am going to leave a voice mail message.

  I decorate my office area with every holiday possible, it gives people a lift to see decorations and candy etc.

  I vote, pledge allegiance when asked, play Lotto, gamble at casinos sometimes, cuss, do whatever I want in the bedroom , hang flags outside my house, hang windchimes, celebrate other nation's holidays with friends--recent one was celebration of spring by an Iranian group of people at work, do whatever I want whenever I want!

  LOVE Christmas, Valentines, Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, birthdays, anything I can celebrate!
