I won a $100 spending spree at a local discount store back in the stone age, when $100 would buy quite a bit.
I was thrilled... Nothing since then tho...

i am so disgusted right now, more with myself than anything.. we have this big albertsons grocery store monopoly game going where i live.....the more of certain products you buy, the more tickets you receive.
not only are there instant winners, but then you enter codes on line.. ha....after 2 months, i've won $5.00 and a bottle of clorox beach.
i have spent more than i ever would have normally.

well sometimes life is just really good.
my former study got out of the cult before me and we have been getting to know each other again.
she visited last week, barely missed the snow storm, and now she has joined our forum.. .
Welcome to the board, Connie
Glad to have you here and look forward to getting to know you !
Cas
i was sitting in an enclosure at the emergency room awaiting word of mr. snowbird's condition.. what a difference a week makes!.
i'm thankful to everyone who helped him pull through.. thanks to y'all for listening.. sylvia.
Sylvia,
I didn't get chance to add my concern last week, just wanted to let you know how happy I am that things worked out.
Hugs...
Sincerely, Cas
i find myself feeling angry.
i'm starting to realize that the anger i feel at this religion seems to feed on itself.
soon, i will be tried for my 'crimes' by men who honestly don't believe themselves to be policemen.
You express yourself beautifully...
Just wanted to add along, with everyone else, my hopes that everything works out for you.
We all do care...
Hugs,
Cas

If/when he shows up here, he'll PM you post-haste, before ever posting a word in the forums. Let me know, okay? He still has half an ass cheek left I want to kick.

What can I say... mine was just a whim, that I've been stuck with forever.
I'd love to change it to something more abstract.

obviously, most of us know that flipper always respond to everybody's posts everytime he starts a topic, i think he is the only one on this board that will respond to everyone in his own threads.
i would think it would be too much work for me or anyone here on this board to respond to everyone.
is that a good thing or bad thing?
its just Mr Flippers style which I personally enjoy.
I like it because it makes me feel he cared. Think it is great.
I agree with the above statements whole heartedly !!
Personally, I think each of us likes to feel that someone actually reads our posts, by taking the extra time to respond to each of us, Mr. Flipper shows that he's a kind person that takes that into account.

i often get inspiration for threads from pms from other posters.
here is one that i thought i would put out there to get your recommendations?.
what is the best thing you did?.
I reconnected with my worldly family and got involved in their hobbies. This got me out of the house and around, semi-normal people.
I also started dating shortly thereafter and basically haven't looked back.
I had no desire to find out if they were right or wrong, I didn't care one way or the other I just wanted to regain my "Freedom".
Cas
i am so thrilled to find this forum.
it is such a relief to know that all of us 'apostates' are normal people who had the nerve to question what has been crammed down our throats.. i am 4th generation ex-jw with family members at bethel, doing missionary work, and pioneering.
even though i have been out for almost 20+ years, i still had guilt admitting to myself that this was a cult-like organization until just recently.
Welcome...
