I try and make sure I am doing something I couldnt previously do on a meeting night like:
sex
drugs
rock n roll
watching Top of the Pops
wearing trousers
scratching my arse
saying naughty words like 'bugger'
do you think we post differently on former meeting times?
such as tuesday night, thursday night and sunday.
my observation is that the board is more active on fluff subjects at those times.

i am planning a trip to nyc mid november and the thought has crossed my mind to visit bethel.
i haven't been there ifn aprox 7 years and i am curious to see if anything has changed.
specially with the layoffs and down sizing.. so, do i tell them i'm da ?
Tell em youre a fundamentalist moslem and you have come to say sorry for stealing their 'persecution' thunder.
well, after 10 years of being together, hubby has decided that he's found his 'soul mate' (the second time this year, neither of which was me) and is moving out.. i'm thirty years old and no kids, thanks to the fact that i spent 12 years in full time service telling everyone it's better to wait until the 'new system' for raising a family.
that's all beside the point - and perhaps better suited for my counselor.
:) anyway, the thought that keeps going through my mind is "this never would have happened if i didn't leave" and "how am i going to find someone to spend my life with at this age and who will understand me the way an ex-jw can"???
Oh petal, im so sorry this has happened to you. He hasnt found his soul mate, his pants just think he has.
As for you, I can understand your heartbreak, as I broke up from my husband when I was 30, after being married 10 years and a JW all my life. I was devastated (his soul mate lasted a few months).
But im here to tell you the good news.
1) 30 is young! Real young. I know loads of people who dont start any serious relationships until their 30's.
2) There are some wonderful people out there who are fully able to empathise with an ex JW even if they dont fully understand it all (my partner for one, who can now make as astute comments about JWs as any ex JW could)
3) There are some wonderful ex JW;s out there too who will completely understand you.
4) I was suecidal when it happened to me - the police picked me out of a public telephone booth one night in my own vomit holding an empty litre of vodka. But now my life is better than it has ever been.
You can survive.
You will survive.
One day life might be even better. It just doesnt feel like it right now.
sacha baron cohen is one of the most gifted comedians that i know of.
his new movie reviews all give "borat", the movie, rave reviews!!
i can hardly wait to see him.
I thought Ali G was hilaious. My fave S B-C character so far.
And I quite like the way he never comes out of character. His interviews as Ali G were utterly inspired.
Hello dahling.
Want me to sing you a song?
trev (dedpoet) experienced breeathing difficulties during the night, and i had to call for an emergency ambulance.
he was kept in overnight, and is still there under observation.
he was conscious and breathing normally when i left him around 30 minutes ago, having been breathing through an oxygen mask earlier.
Yes but Trev, youre not allowed to say to Linda "oh Katie Kitten hs suggested we spend all day in bed nakid with a big bowl of oysters and a bottle of champagne and the readers wives section of Asian Babes..."
ok, here's a hypothetical that i'm curious about.. what if armageddon really did happen?
not necessarily according to jw terms or timetable, but at some point it happens in your lifetime.
would any of you return to the jws?.
Knowing my luck id get saved with the 'halitosis maths club nerds' and have to start populating the earth. Bugger.

Linda im glad Trevs home where you can look after him, but dont forget you need looking after too.
Couldnt you both spend at least one whole day in bed - make a picnic of your favourite nibbles and drinks, get some magazines and a pack of cards and just snuggle all day? I think you deserve at least 24 hours to yourself.
in my bible highlights part, i am going to espouse a pro-soup kitchen/salvation army/homeless shelter view.
right on the heels of that, i'm going to support (higher) education as a means of bettering ones' self.. what will i get: insta-jc?
front of the hall talk?
Well done brave sir nose.
A very interesting reception id say. I guess they were stunned into silence. Next time I suggest you wear suspenders and stockings under your suit trousers. They wont know, but it might make your words seasoned with sauce! (plus I like thinking about the image - go on, do it for me!)
several posters (whom i will not name because it doesn't matter) have basically said good-bye lately.
we all responded as usual, with genuine sentiments - how much we will miss them, etc.
but, quite frankly there is something almost disparaging or critical implied toward the rest of us who choose to remain on the board by those who "move on.
Ballistic - I ALWAYS miss you when you go. I just cant be bothered to PM you and let you know!
(seriously beachball, I do miss you when you go walkabout)
