for those who have been thru it (i hate the sound of the word), what is the most stressful aspect and what would you do differently?
and what did you not expect?
i would like to know as right now it has become a real possibility for me.
allgrowedup,
I would rather be alone than miserable. And believe me, it may take quite awhile but there ARE still decent poeple out there to meet. I ended up with someone I consider my best friend. We were married 4 years after my divorce became final and although we have had our ups and downs I would not trade him for the world! So, if that's the situation you are in, be patient. Things will work out.
sometimes i just wish i could come into several million dollars, i would do so much good with it.
i would start up a college scholarship for those who were raised jw and never had the chance to go.
i would help out silentlambs.
I love that line fro Office Space! Hubby and I are always saying that and cracking up laughing. Hmmm, if i had a million, help the local animal "no kill" shelter and my family and friends. Really I wouldn't waste one dime or minute on the Org.
i "came out" a few years ago, after living straight for 30 years.
tried to deny all those years that i was a lesbian.
but even if i didnt act on it...i still was.
Feral,
Hmm ell, I must still be straight then. Cause although I wouldn't mind if it ever happened again, I don't really think about it much at all! If it happens, great, if not, that's ok too. I like men too much to give them up completely! LOL
ugh, i need to work out and have no motivation.
the last several weeks, i have been doing 1 1/2 - 2 miles a night on the treadmill, lifting weights and doing 50 sit-ups a night.
not much i know but it's a start.
Mulan,
I have wondered about yoga but it looks like you have to be a contortionist to do it!!!

I LOVE the web-site Double Edge recommended and plan to research on there more than I have had a chance tonight. I did my walking, lifting, sit-up routine again tonight and feel great! Sorry, if anyone is bored reading this but when I do it and then post it I feel even better and it gives me more encouragement. Make sense?
reading through some of the recent posts, ie; the topic of lazarus and the gay issue, i was flabbergasted at what i was reading.
i can't believe-well maybe i can, that some people on this site are calling gay people "faggots", and telling that person that they are going to get "what sodom and gomorrah got".. this site has been a godsend to me, and have been telling my friends how nice it is to be in with a group of people who can relate to my life, my feelings, my insecurities, and my fears relating to the org.
and not being a part of it anymore.
Cowboy,
As all the others have said, please don't let what a few small-minded people said run you off. You seem like such a nice, caring funny person and it would be a shame if you left. So, for what my little opinion is worth, PLEASE STAY! (edited to add, I don't care if you are gay or not but if that is truly your picture in the avatar I must say that the women of the world are missing out)! LOL
went to see kill bill, vol.
2 this afternoon and it was fantastic!
i was highly disappointed in volume 1 but they had to do what they did in it to make this one.
exjdub,
I agree! Charlie's Angels was a bunch of fake looking fighting and trying to make the girls look sexier than they already are. Tarantino lets his women look sexy AND kick some real butt!
