Which poster would you like to have a beer (or Pepsi for the sober peeps) with? Why?
by serenitynow! ini've lurking for months, and have enjoyed the various personalities on the board.

My facebook account is the real deal ,real me. I have friended several people from this site onto facebook ,but I would rather not discuss Witness or Ex witness stuff on my facebook account .
The whole idea ,at least for me, is to make new friends and move away from that old aspect of my life .

I have loved reading all the new posts from newbies . I have noticed over the five yrs I have been here how there will be times when quite a few begin posting at the same time then a lull and then it happens again ,pretty cool .
I have one comment about sharing all you are now learning with still active family . I know you feel like you are going to burst and you want to tell them everything .......just becareful !!! Maybe come on here first and vent before you tell them anything . The reason I say this is because all to often when we think family will understand ...they don't ....and it is very painful when they turn on you . It happened to me ....I thoiught i could be honest and share my doubts ,but in my case it backfired .
Not saying this will always be the case ,but just becareful and prepared before you say to much .
KEEP posting !!! and WELCOME

Sweet to be honest with you I don't believe the Bible story of Noah and the flood .
I think it is a mythical story made up because of local catastrophic floods of long ago that happened because of nature, and over the years the story was embellished to what we have today .

my own story 2
by James_Slash ini got up to the point where i spoke about my daughter.. so in 2007 i was stopped from seeing my daughter by my ex-wife with the help of her good standing jw family.. my mother is still a jw and remains as one.
we both suffered lies and slander perpretrated by this family which continues to this day.
in late 2007 i was cleared of any wrong doing and i retained a relationship with my daughter.

Welcome and thank you for sharing your story .
Every time I hear another experience like yours it just reaffirms for me this is a wide spread cancer and not just a few imperfect men behaving wrongly (as they would have you believe )

poor Hikaru.......the type of anxiety you syffer from is NOT heathly . I think you should worry more of dying from high blood pressure or a stroke than Armeggedon .
Please re-read Yknot's answer live by those rules and live in Peace .
LIFE IS SHORT ,ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN MY DEAR !

For some reason I really hate Sarh Palin ....Her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me ,I was so relieved when the elections were over . I already told my husband if she runs in 2012 and wins ...WE will have to move to Canada ....
I also hate that awful Baptist minister Fred Phelps ( i secretly wish horrible things to happen to him every time I see him on the news )

one of the women has known me most of my life over forty yrs.

I have always treated her fairly in the past . She married her high school sweetheart (worldly) and was the scandal of the circuit because her family (parents and six siblings ) were always considered the pillar of the congregation . She has three children that all left the Witnesses in their teen yrs . I have always asked about her kids and shown interest in their lives . I think she has appreciated that attention .
I can imagine how much pressure her extended family has on her though ..... Her sister use to be my best friend and years ago we had a friend in common that was fading . Her sister(an elders wife ) came to my house one day and explained that if I didn't break off my friendship with the fader then I would be ostracized too .....sadly I caved under the pressure . It was the biggest mistake I ever made ! Chewed away at my insides for along time being so unfaithful to a real friend because of pressure from a fake friend . Years later I apologized ,but it really is something that can not be undone .
