  This is very exciting for me... but I need your help...

  i had a chat with my mother the other night...it was "business" as she just retired.

  but i took the opportunity to tell her about the russell graphing his dates to pyramid measurements and told her to look at studies in the scriptures vol iii, 1904 edition would give a 1881 date, but the 1910 edition would give the 1914 date.

  i know my grandmother has these books in her library...and she lives with them, so my mom can look them up and see the "truth.".

  ...today i brought home a new (to me) mini-van.

  i've been driving an oil-leaking, 1990 caravan with radiator problems and no heat.

  i paid $5000 for a 2001 dodge caravan - not the long one, but fully loaded.

  Insecure posters

  i wonder if it's just me, or if other posters are like this.

  do any of you start to type a post, then hit the back button, or quit your post because your afraid of saying something stupid or "wrong," or reread some of your previous posts and wonder, what you were thinking when you posted it?.

  i find most people on this board more than willing to accept you for whatever you say in a post, but i still frequently shy away from hitting that 'submit post' button.. rose (pushing the submit button before chickening out again)

  she's so excited, as am i!.

  greendawn asked this question at: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/94462/1604122/post.ashx#1604122 (hope i did that right).

  i think this question deserved a thread of its own.. rose.

  i hope that's ok, greendawn.

  My trip for surgery, being force-fed the "Draw Close to Jehovah" tapes

  by misguided in

  i had to travel to a town 2 hours away from where i live yesterday.

  i'm thankful that my mother actually came to drive me there and back and was supportive in that regard.. however, she insisted on playing her "draw close to jehovah" tapes all the way there and all the way back!

  i obliged (with my blood pressure through the roof by the time we got there - thank goodness i was on pain pills all the way home).

  What should I do?

  when my youngest son came home from his weekend with his father, i realized it would soon be july, and my ex has a 10-day access period specified for july, and i thought i'd better write it on the calendar.

  while doing this, my son tells me he's going to go somewhere with his dad, but he's not allowed to tell me.

  i said to him, "hey, bud, you've got to tell me.

  i guess my new-found freedom of personal expression is working its way down to my kids.. i came home from a crazy day at work, ate my dinner, was loading the dishwasher, when my 13-year-old son says, .

  "mom, i have something to tell you - i'm bisexual...i've been that way for a year now.

  i still can't help but have my old jw brain at work, thinking this is not okay - kind of like, i'm an apostate with a bisexual son...what will my family say?!

  .

  have any of you had similar experiences while in the org where you've been made to feel (by the all-powerful, spirit-begotten know-all elders) like you're crazy, disbelieved, or like you somehow dreamt the whole thing up; when in reality you've really just stated the real truth of a situation?.
