i have never posted my story on jwd and it was only recently that it occured to me that i should really make more of an effort to; here is the first part....sorry if its longwinded.... .

i was brought up in the borg from the age of 18 months old and as you can understand i have known little else.

previous to being in the truth my mother was an unwanted child and beaten by her mother, sure enough she fell into an abusive relationship with my father which left her with minus zero confidence and on the verge of a nervous breakdown; apparently my mum was considering throwing us both off a railway bridge she was that depressed and to her there was no point in living.

i 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.

Human Sexuality 101: Everything a young girl needs to hear?

"body you" is very smart about a few, simple things.

this is how you want it because "body you" is kind of a moron.. fact 2: all living things have two primary desires: to stay alive, and to have offspring.. this is a basic, defining biological fact.

of course "brain you" doesnt think, "i want to talk to that cute boy because i want to procreate", but "body you" is!

Where are you on the map? New Maps
by Lady Lee in
1. jw
2. friends
ok there are so many americans on the map now i had to split you all in half.. valis was kind enough to let me place the maps on his website until i found a new home for them.. photobucket seems to be a good option - at least for now.

so i have uploaded the new maps which have been updated to include everyone who has asked.. so if you were wondering where we are from.

or how close you are to other jwd posters in your area just take a look.

i'll update it more when i get the time and the strength.
