Do you know what my favorite deoderant for men is?
Mennen's Speed Stick MUSK!!!!
It drives me wild!
When my husband steps out of the shower and puts on that deoderant
I have been known to attack him.
I dont know about anybody else, but I just love a great smelling man.
Once in a Safeway I followed a man down several isles just to get whiffs of his cologne!
I finally felt I had to explain myself and told him his cologne was driving me nuts.
Perry Ellis "MAN" he said.
Went right out and bought some!!! -

I have only known this site for a week and I have been helped so much. I havent laughed so hard for years!!! That has been great medicine. Through your writings I have been helped to see WHY I was so unhappy in the Dubs. I couldnt verbalize it myself! I am so grateful. This last weekend was the best because my heart is freer.
Thankyou one and all!!!!! -

A Good Escape Plan.
by Daunt ini'm planning on moving out from my jw parents house in about 7 months.
i'm trying to start a job and i already have a little money going into it (bout 2500 dollars little) however, mainly i just wanted to really know if this was the best course of action.
my parents are the usual jw's but i do love them, however, the pressure is just building up from all their jw reasoning and pressure and guilt trips and all that mess.

My new husband was a love child from '70. His mom bravely chose to have her son and give him up for adoption at birth. I respect her so much for her decision.
It seems to me that God aborts babies naturally sometimes in the first tri-mester if they are illformed or sick. This is an important consideration.
I believe in the morning after pill.
I believe it is terribly wrong to abort a healthy baby after it is far enough along to survive with some help like these little preemies.
I think we underestimate the considerable pain and suffering of the fetus during these life extinguishing
procedures.
My brother was born very premature and he survived and is a wonderful man who supported me so much when I left the org! I will tell you more about this wonderful brother later.
I also remember a JW woman with cancer of the uterus. At the same time she found out about her cancer she learned she was pregnant with her third child. The doctors encouraged her to end the pregnancy and begin chemo, that if she waited she would surely lose the battle of her cancer.
It was a tough decision. She chose to forgoe the treatments, give birth, then resume the treatments.
Can you imagine waiting 9 months before beginning treatments????
She did. And she gave birth in GREAT PAIN to a most beautiful baby girl.
She began her chemo and radiation but lost her life.
Very faithful indeed!!!
That was an amazing situation to watch in our congo. I visited her once while she was dying.
I will never forget the courage and integrity of that woman.
She gave her daughter the gift of life. She ultimately gave her life for her daughter. -

How I got out of JWs, they showed me the way!
by out of the box ini have been writing 'my story' in bits and pieces here.
it was pouring out, one of the kids sick, jw husband wasn't going.
i got in the car (this little hatch-back car was a loaner from the garage because our larger car was being repaired) i was stopped at a stop sign and i was on time for the meeting.. i heard something and turned in time to see something coming at me fast.

OOTB, thankyou for your well expressed letter! You have experienced a great breakthrough in your understanding. I will look forward to your future postings as you are saying things that really reach my heart. I too am gathering all the good I learned to one place and all the bad I experienced to another and am in the process of trying to sort it all out.
You had the advantage of your strong upbringing by solid people. I liked hearing about your youth and the generous townspeople. I'm sure the JW message only added to your total happiness. But the new set of Witnesses serving Jehovah let you down. They are coming in from this current world as it is. I'm sure the same discouragement is going on in all the religions.
Im sure being an old timer as they call anyone in the org over 30 years is often a lonely road.
Even though you have left I'm sure many remember your acts of generosity and kindness.
You were a fine example of Christianity in action for them.
Please keep posting your fine letters and remind us all to continue to be the godly persons we want to be but now outside of the org.
thankyou,

Did you do crazy things post DF?
by anewme ini was just wondering if anyone out there had similar struggles after being disfellowshipped?
.
all my life i was a good christian person, then after getting df'd i entertained the idea to do all manner of formerly forbidden activities, since everyone thought i was going to the devil anyway.

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou to all who replied to this question.
This subject has plagued me for 4 years now.
The craziness and wild things I did after DFing have haunted me.
But I see I am not alone. I feel so much better!
Today Saturday I woke up happy, really happy!!!
The sun is shining and its a lovely summer day.
This morning I woke up next to a gorgeous young man who has been trying for 4 years now to help me smile in my heart again.
Today is the day of celebration!!!!
Thankyou all so much!
You are beautiful people!
I love you all.
I am going to go out in the summer sun and laugh and sing and enjoy life today.
Please do the same. -

Depression and JW's
by damselfly ini don't wish to hijack the chronic fatigue thread so i started this one.
when i was a teen i suffered from severe depression brought on by emotional abuse, sexual abuse and the jw way of handling it.
i couldn't physically get out of bed, didn't know what day it was, had no desire to eat and dropped below 100 lbs.

Thankyou for bringing up this topic Damselfly. Depression was a big issue for me three years before I walked out. I tried Field Service, praying for Bible Studies, reading all the publications, vitamins,
anti-allergy diets. Finally I sought counseling at Kaiser. They were not certain I needed any medications although I asked for some of the meds the sisters said they were on.
I wanted something to take that would make me compliant and obedient and dull and sexless so I could continue to be a good Witness. For two years I saw a counselor off and on and she convinced me my troubles were not physical. She said my depression was caused by a helpless lack of control over my life and severe enmeshment involving my husband and the org and the Bible. She noted that everything I said to her I had to qualify whether my husband approved the thought or whether it was an allowed viewpoint.
She said for me to improve I would have to make great changes in my life.
She talked about choices, that we all have a choice about how we spend our lives.
Well, that was the beginning.
I left my husband and the truth and subsequently all the family and friends I formerly had.
But now after 4 years and a new life and new town and new handsome husband I am pretty much free of depression without any medication.
We focus on love and kindness and compassion and laughter. -

Friends have told me to do as many new and interesting things as I can, that that is what life's about.
It is a whole new world of fun and adventure if you see it that way!
