34Hey - first time here
by kimoko inhello i am megan tis my first time here (hence the title :) ) so i just thought i would introduce myself.. i've never actually never been actually been a jehovahs witness but i first actually got introduced to it in january when i met the amazing kw13 haha :) since then ive looked at books, articles and had a wonderous time on the friday of the 2006 3 day jw convention .
i'm trying to help karl get his mum out of the witnessing, hopefully we can get through its not gonna be easy but we are optimistic.
its been a real difficult time for me trying to understand the witnessing because it went from 16 years of just knowning them as them people who bother you at your door to getting to know alot more and their "morals".

My DF'd brother will never go back!
by AuldSoul insome years ago my brother was disfellowshipped.
not for apostasy, but for more mundane reasons.
he has not had the internet, he has not studied the bible much since being disfellowshipped, he has been feeling guilty and considering returning for the last six months.. i had no way of contacting him, having lost touch in the midst of his many moves.

NEW INK!!!
by RichieRich inso, i went to my friendly neighborhood tattoo parlor today, and recieved my second and third (or 19th and 20th - depending on how you look at it) tattoo.
the chest is an extremely sensitive area, and so i was very aware that i was alive for the majority of the time.. oh, birds are often seen as a symbol of freedom, happiness, and arriving safely.
bones show regret, loss.. .

Hi Richie; I was so happy to see your post. You are still as handsome as ever. I have a 20 year old daughter that I would love to introduce you too. She is a guitar/singer/songwriter. Very beautiful girl. So if you ever come to Canada both Legolas and I could introduce you to our daughters!!! You take care now, and be good to yourself......Love Arwen

Dear Purps; This little poem helped me thru my mother's passing. I'll change it to fit your dear brother; He meant so very much to us that nothing we could say Could tell the sadness in our hearts as we think of him today But the sweetness of his memory time can neither dim nor fade As we remember again and are thankful for all the good years that we had. I hope this helps in some small way. Love Arwen
