i have had this nickname online for over five years.
when i signed up at this discussion board i really was looking for fellow jw believers, looking for some new freinds.
what i found was something so much better.

seems there are a lot of picture topics flying around lately, so here's another which i often think about when trying to imagine the people behind the posts i read.
is there anyone in particular whose posts you read and would like to see a picture of?

do you think that the government should be involved at all, or should this be a parental/individual decision?
Growing up in France, us kids were given some red wine (mixed with water) with meals. I remember my grandfather giving us red wine to which he had added sugar, water and lemon juice.... Delicious. None of us turned out to become an alcoholic. All in moderation...
The first few years in the US, I couldn't understand why it was such a taboo to give a little wine or champagne to kids, even in your own house...
Some people even said of me I was alcoholic, just because I had a glass of wine with dinner ! milk was their drink of choice with dinner, or Coke,... Yuuuk...

before you read anything, you should be aware that i do not know what i am talking about.
it seems clear now that the watchtower religion has already started to decline, in the western world at least.
how will this decline play out in the future - this is one of the most interesting questions relating to the watchtower at the moment: will the witnesses enjoy a slow leisurely decline over many decades, or can we expect a major split and disintegration in the near future?
I nominate Valis, IP_SEC, minimus, FBF and Alan F as the Governing Body effective as soon as all can 'love bomb' Bethel.
We need 12 GB members....
AlanF - Farkel - Metatron - Amazing - Scully - Joyzabel - LadyLee - Simon - Onacruse - Bikerchick - Englishman - Narkissos - Leolaia - Seven006 - UncleBruce - Blondie - LittleToe - Gumby - Oooops, that's more than 12....
do you feel it?.
i feel it, almost every day, and sometimes so intensely that it literally wakes me up in a cold sweat at 2 in the morning, just to toss and turn for the next 3 hours, like a pig on a spit.. that damnably frustrating anguish about so many things: the "what ifs," the "could have beens, "the should i have...??".
on the one hand, as an ex-jw, i can, and do, easily find a certain satisfaction in saying to myself "it was that god-damned religion in which i was raised.".

it's called menopause---cold and hot sweat--- it feels like you've been dropped in a tub of hot boiling water.... I know
Seriously, I also have these panick attacks at night, thinking about death, old age, accidents....
