edited to add: this whole experience, clicked to fast and it entered.. .
they had this sale on cool coffee mugs and i just said damit i'm going in.
a jw lives just a few houses down.
Maybe it might not be frowned upon to visit such a place but would most active witnesses be afraid to visit a Christian bookstore? After all - there's all that apostate material in there! Would it be classed as a dangerous place to go as regards temptation?
Good for you in overcoming the 'obstacle' Hope
anything as long as it has nothing to do with jws.
god, i'm tired of hearing about them.
(yes, yes, i realize this is an anti-jw site, but i don't care.
I collect stamps
... not that I know much about them lol! I inherited my dad's collection plus a friend's collection of unwanted first day covers (he was gonna bin them).
I am probably sitting on a fortune - I should get them valued by a professional sometime I guess.
for every word you correctly define on this game, they will donate 20 grains of rice to the un world food program.
the ads pay for the rice.. http://freerice.com/index.php.
fight world hunger and play!.
I've had this in my favourites for a while. I play it whenever I get spare moments.
Hmmm I have a lot of those at the moment - maybe I could feed the whole world lol
hey i do not want to be a whitness anymore, but i am shy and i do not know how to tell my mam and dad what i do not want to be one anymore.
i realy need help can you's tell me if any of you r going through the same thing as me or if you have been through it and told ur mam and dad and what you said and what they did.. thanks.
James will have some support from family, he's my younger brother so physical things like sustaining himself won't be a problem. Its more the emotional things like how to deal with how disappointed my JW parents will be. And he's not baptised, so that makes things a lot easier.
Paul
Now that's good news to hear! I doubt he could ask for a better big brother

You know nic, if one of the UK national papers got hold of this you could be in serious money!
i mean, i know i'm bitter.. normally these days quite strong, not feeling so much so much the last few days though.. what i'd give to do the things i was used to.
going doing the weekly shop with my mum, her popping round for a brew in the morning.. a hug from her, just to to know from the way she communicated with me, that she loved me.
i miss her so much.. and what if i'm wrong?.
(((Shell))) it'll pass.
These doubts are part of life, as are the choices we make. I've never been a JW but I had the exact same worries when I left the RC church - and I still do get them from time to time.
I don't know why I'm writing what I'm about to as its only remotely related! I had a job interview yesterday and found out very quickly that I hadn't got the job - an email was waiting by the time I got home. i couldn't think of anything I did wrong so I assumed they just had better qualified applicants... then in the early hours of this morning I realised that I had actually made a dreadful mistake in the role play part of the interview!! My heart went through the floor as I knew it was a job I'd have enjoyed and been good at - but now I'm barred from applying for any jobs with them for 6 months - by which time I'll hopefully have another job anyway.
Like I said, I don't know why I wrote that - maybe its to show that we are allowed to make mistakes and feel bad about it - but we do survive them - all is not lost in spite of what anyone else might tell you. Life is full of opportunities - be true to your own heart and the rest will follow (eventually!), keep looking forward.
As for your children - well the WT should heed its own teachings - the soul that sins is the soul that dies - so they shouldn't be condemned for anything that you've done!

How much is that in US dollars?
We're still roughly $2 - £1 so about double - maybe $5.25 at the mo?!

Welcome James
ditto the comments about txt msging!!
Shy hmm? - I also suggest that you take your mugshot down as your avatar pretty sharp too - or mam and dad might find out from someone else that you don't want to be JW any more!
when a person dies, does anything survive?
jw's say no.. my mom, who is baptist now, is sure that the soul lives on.
so, just like a good jw of old, i said to her, "the devil wants you to believe that".. then she said, how about your spirit?
I agree with your thought JH - the spirit which belongs to God returns to Him.
The 'soul' is a Greek invention which the early Hebrews/Jews had no concept of.
As for anything else, I have an open mind - although I quite like VoidEaters ideas above.
it is with the sincerest of gratitude that i thank so many of you on jwd for giving donations to my new medical electric scooter.. it arrived two weeks ago from south carolina, and i must tell you it is beautiful and full of kinds of bells and whistles.
it is just perfect as perfect can be.
the colours is a light metalic bluish/silver tone.
Hottest wheels in town eh Terry!!
I'm pleased you have your independence back once more - enjoy!!
jag - remember it's not just about physical healing...
