Timothy Campbell's Beyond Jehovah's Witnesses. I think I read every single page. It was amazing, it walked me through every step of leaving, in a way. I really needed that. Also read a lot on Channel C... posted there for a little while too.

My grandmother was Italian, and we always had lasagne for Christmas dinner (which my JW mother allowed us to go to.) Of course, there was also turkey with all the trimmings, salad, meatballs and other meats, nuts and dried fruit all over the house, fresh fruit afterwords, ice cream and all kinds of Italian pasteries for dessert.....
Good grief... ok back to reality.... ... Lasagne sounds great!! Or how about Cornish game hens? They are easy and cute and you can serve stuffing or make gravy... And you don't get them every day either!

Suicide is a VERY bad thing.....
by lonelysheep inthat is the conclusion i've come to.
up until then, and because of my own depressed feelings, i have felt differently.
this changed for me last night, though.

(((((((((((lonelysheep)))))))))))
I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. I agree with other posters who have said that people commit suicide to stop the terrible pain they are in. Suicide is a very bad thing, but I don't think it's committed by bad people. Someone in that much pain I can't help but feel profoundly sorry for.
The people they leave behind, though, have to deal with the aftermath. We are here for you.....

Question for Singles: Tired of hearing the "F" word?
by Elsewhere ini'm very much a home-body, so i don't go out much and meet a lot of people.
in recent months i've been trying to reverse that and meet more people.. so far the pattern is this:.
meet someone.start chatting and talking.notice a distinct chemistry.attempt to move things to the next level.now this is where things get frustrating.

Long time since I've been single, but I know for sure that when I was, it took me a lot longer to decide that I liked a guy romantically than it took the guys to decide that they liked me romantically.
I'm not sure if it's just me, or if most women are like that. I was looking for a serious relationship, though, and I wasn't going to just jump into a romantic relationship unless I was sure that I really liked the guy. Maybe the women you meet really DO like you, and are using the 'friends' line to keep you around without them having to make a decision yet?
Good luck to you... you seem like a really sweet guy!

Stupid things you thought as a JW
by JWdaughter inok growing up jw, i was clueless about how 'the world' worked.
i had some weird ideas that took a long time to dispell.
one that i got fairly quickly, and embarassingly was when at school, after easter vacation (still was that, then!

Guess what happened with the new CO?
by MinisterAmos ini'm not particularly fond of the way that the bros fawn over the ranking members when they visit.
after all, there is no rank in the jws right?
that's what they say anyway.. so i rebel and don't go at all when the co or do come to visit.

What Did YOU Do At A Typical Witness "Get-Together"?
by minimus indid you sing kingdumb songs, take turns reading the bible, play bible games or did you have "fun"
-

GoingGoingGone
I used to avoid Witnesses that talked ONLY about "The Truth".
We got invited to a 'get together' once that was a nightmare come true. The hosts were nice people, just unbelieeeeeevably boring and not too terribly bright, either. After the prescribed amount of chit-chat and pot-luck food, the guy suggested that we study the WT for the next day!! I tried every excuse in the book... We don't have them with us (they found us copies), we need to get the kids home to bed (they found pillows in case the kids fell asleep)... I thought the "study" would NEVER end!!! Needless to say, we declined all further invitations to this couple's house.... GGG
