Well! glad you're not letting it get to you... keep on showing them who's happier.
I still find it strange that even after my announcement was made, JWs I know are still saying hello, and wave... Is it because they are less uptight about it here??
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.

you know something friends ?
i watch a lot of news, i guess you can ay i am a news junkie of sorts.
everyday something is happening in the world that seems to leading to one thing.
In the medieval times...the people probably thought that the Black Plague would bring the end of the world....
one of the first things that i realized after i left the organization was that i could actually have human heroes who weren't bible characters.
now this will give you an idea of how much of a nerd i am, but the first person i began to idolize as a 17-18 year old teenager was richard p. feynman, the mid 20th century theoretical physicist.
of course, now i'm on my way to becoming a physicist myself, although i'm going into the experimental side instead of theory.
Tori Amos---
Actually, she was my hero even before I left the dubs, her music, her ideas and her spunk helped me out of the mind control.
If anyone knows the song "Crucify" they'll know what I mean, and that just one song..."God" is pretty nice to.;P
Quotes....
"If I couldn't play, I've no idea what kind of bitter person I would've become.
Because that's where I was able to express some kind of freedom without guilt. Guilt for passion."
"I think that happiness is when you can let yourself feel every emotion you want at any time
instead of being a lying little fuck."
"We put men under pressure too much by expecting them to make us happy. I want to get happy by my inner energy."
"I've decided Lucifer is a woman, wears white, and drives an ice cream truck."
"You know when people smile too much? It's painful, I find that really painful. Happy is not very reliable.
I'm trying to live like um, with a fierce calm."
"If you believe in the spirit world, you believe in it, if you don't, that's your arrogance.
But if you go to Ireland and talk about fairies negatively, you'll get punched out."
Song Quotes: (That made me think)
Every finger in the room is pointing at me I wanna spit in their faces Then I get affraid what that could bring
Why do we crucify ourselves Every day I crucify myself Nothing I do is good enough for you
And my HEART is sick of being in chains
Got enough GUILT to start My own religion
God sometimes you just don't come through Do you need a woman to look after you
Past the mission behind the prison tower past the mission I once knew a hot girl past the mission they're closing every hour past the mission I smell the roses
Building tumbling down didn't know our love was so small couldn't stand at all
If the Divine master plan is perfection maybe next i'll give Judas a try
I know we're dying and there's no sign of a parachute we scream in cathedrals why can't it be beautiful why does there gotta be a sacrifice
I will wander out test my tether to see if I'm still free from you
What it means to be made of you but not enough for you
You know what you know so you go break the terror of the urban spell.....
on saturday morning last, my youngest son and i caught a train two stations up the line so he could go to granma's house and earn his weekly $5 working in her garden for a couple of hours.
the train got into "granma's station" on time at 7:55am.
it was an all stations to sydney train, so noone got off to wait for another train to sydney.
That was also me....going door to door and to every meeting with my dad because my mom wasn't a JW anymore. Having a huge smile even though I felt horribly shy at the doors. And he was proud of me and told how much he was happy I stayed faithful to God. I really felt the relationship we had was special...
But now he won't even look at me anymore, even less talk....and my mother says he has started to act the same way he did with me towards my little brother. The love-bombing, Bible stories every night and fatherly emotional guilt-trip aboout going out in service....so sad.
i've seen one somewhere but haven't a clue to where.
if anyone can direct me to a link, i'd appreciate it.. thanks.

Love the Flip-Flop at the bottom of the page...
It`s almost amazing...the WT seemed less drastic, and more logic about their beleives back then...
i decided to treat myself to breakfast out at our favorite greasy spoon this morning.
i settled into my booth (when did they shrink the booths?
) and was enjoying that first sip of java when one of my favorite wait-persons walks up and throws an awake magazine right on top of my paper.
When I see something witness related...I have an irresistible urge to laugh. hehehe. It's so pityful I can't help it. The pictures in the magasines are very entertaining.
If something like the table incident happens again. I suggest you pick the thing up and start looking through it, make sure people hear you when you laugh at the crazy pics and grin and shake your head at the written nonsense. When you're done, you put it back on the table with a smile and say something like "Tsk, crazy cults..."...possibly, you could leave some WT money inside, for the next person.

... because the law says that they can't.. can someone reference that for me?
i can't seem to find it anywhere.. kwin
That's very strange....I've been DAd for a while now. My dad won't even look at me, and yet, in the last few weeks, I've had four JWs crossing me in the street, looking at me with a big friendly smile, a wave and an ethusiastic greeting!! Crazy world....
this is a very interesting site that you might want to pass on to your nieces and nephews and friends, especially if they have children.
i couldn't believe that even my house out here showed up on the map.
it is really neat how you can click on the little box on the map and see a picture of the offender and all the details about him (or her.
Isn't there anything like that for people in Canada or other countries??
i take public transit to & from work.
i walk past a "historic" theater on a daily basis.
as i walked past this theater, there were about 8-10 j-dubs waiting for the theater to open so they can get the "best" seats.
LOL! Wow! Apostates are quite productive this Memorial. All those stories! And I wonder how many actually put some checks and false money in the boxes??
so last night at the memorial, i.... um.... well, i didn't go!
i spent the evening downloading demonic music off the evil internet.
got some new tunes by thunder, xyz, steelheart, skid row, sex pistols, nightwish, jack off jill, firehouse, faster pussycat, and charade.
Emma- Isn't the full moon tonight?? I was planning on drinking a glass of wine and making a cake to celebrate spring and the moon-godess...but maybe I looked wrong...
