simon did away with the sex forum - so i must take the tradional route and post under "make new friends.
" how mundane!.
fyi ---- for all of us, please take the time to write a sentence or two about yourselves, and encourage new ones to do the same.
Hi All
I hope I can hear more from you soon. I still consider myself a newbie here too, but haven't had any trouble jumping in. (Mind you, there are some posters who who I don't bother with, but I think you would know who they are .)
Missy, you must be going through some trying times. I'm sure you'll get a lot of support here.

when i was a kid, i liked blue.
royal blue.
my brother liked.
I go with ven a wasa - purple and that funny sea colour.
Farkel, you are right about white - it is all the colours of the visible light spectrum - that is why we get rainbows, white light being split up in the prism of the raindrop.

the jw box of pandora.
as some of you maybe know i still inside the borg waiting for the right moment: i try to take care of my wife and two children that a love very much and try to do things easy and gentle not harming anyone.
do you remember the story about the box of pandora from the greek mythology?
This could lead to some very interesting developments Beroea. From what I remember of Pandora's Box, even though the lid went down again rather quickly, things were never the same again, were they, once it had been opened?

You could be right Scorpion
I've been seeing women who were dressed just like those on the cover of their magazine around here. They must be "real christians", because they have the long hair to go with the scarf [8>].
i just got to thinking (scary i know), who am i???
we are the people we are because of what weve been through and the experiences weve had, but what if everything i we lived was fake??
i mean i really feel like i was living in the truman show.
Hi Venice
Thanks for sharing - I didn't know before I found this board that other people felt the same as I did. It is hard to do, but great to be a part of humanity again.
I also didn't know you before, but I'd have to take a guess that you have changed - I saw those SL posters .

ariel, sista, it's called cognitive dissonance.
read up on it, and you will see why nothing makes sense in your life.
Agree completely with Logical
They just dont give a shit about their "brothers" and "sisters". What use is a discussion board if you cant discuss things, important things like that?
WOL just seems to be some sort of keep 'em happy placebo. Let them think they have a discussion board so they don't go looking for one elsewhere....somewhere they might find out the real truth.
On the subject matter, I knew of one sister who resorted to goading her ex to admit adultery over the phone and tape it for that all important proof.
i received this e-mail by an elder and friend that is very perplexed.
so here is his requested post any thoughts?
i was just reading the 4/1/01 wt p. 21--article: do you feel misunderstand?.
Let me see.....If you have a problem, its your fault and if someone else has a problem, that is also your fault, but don't let it get to you.
Sounds like a recipe for a mental breakdown to me. But then again, most of the stuff published by the WTS is so convoluted - keeps the rank and file JWs in line though, doesn't it?

i recently got this letter from my mother, i thought i would share it to help see how this saga continues.
my parents are both regular pioneering as we speak.
have seen their grandchildren for about an hour in the last six months.
Hi Bill
What a sad letter.
All your mum is doing is reacting to what has been shoved into her head - maybe when she settles down she will be able to think more rationaly about it. My mum reacted in a very similar way (she got the headaches too, amongst other things), just lashed out because she was hurting. We are back on track now, better than ever. I think the way the WTS treated me had a lot of impact on her, once she settled down, and her attitude has now really changed - she left the org a little while ago.
You are doing a wonderful and brave thing Bill, and if your mum could get her head out of JW space I think she would see that for herself.
Stay strong
Cautious
