I'm In Love With Someone New

by Abandoned in

ok, i admit it, i'm not actually in love with someone new.

i was just paging through my old paper journals and i stumbled onto this song i started writing on february 13, 2006. wow, it's almost two years old.

anyway, i hadn't completed it yet, but i really like the tune, so i finished it up.

Abandoned, that's lovely! Do you sing it?

what time is it in your area and what are you having for your morning, mid-day, or evening meal?.

i'm having grits, canned salmon, tuna, and chicken for breakfast.

cabbage and cornbread for mid-day and evening.. life can be beautiful and good - if we allow it.. sylvia.

Hi Sylvia, it's 11.00 pm Sunday here. I had salmon and salad for dinner plus yoghurt and an apple. Yum.

Cog, sorry you can't sleep.

Dating and the ex-JW

by Layla33 in

i am still surfing around this forum and i am happy to see there is are topics related to relationships.

it is nice to see this here.. to be honest, ever since i was out of the jw religion, i have tossed over ever dating an ex jw or an inactive jw.

i have occasionally come across this situation and weighed both the pros and cons.

I'd love to date an ex-JW. But I'd have to be 100% sure that he knows "the truth" is a lie and that he'd never go back. We'd also have to have other interests in common. Plus chemistry!

Feeling sorry for the old time witnesses...wishing it were the "truth".

by integ in

it's really pretty sad.

i think of my parents, my aunt, and a lot of the old timers that have been in this thing for so long, and i can't help but feel sorry for them.

i mean, how devastating it would/will it be to find out they have been duped all along.

I feel sorry for the old timers when I see them trudging from door to door with their walking sticks and frames - faithfully still going at midday in all kinds of weather when the young people have long gone. Not that I blame the young people!

Generation change in study article

by LadyCCC in

i just finished reading the "journal" and it mentioned that they have said in the past that the generation meant the unbelieving jews, and then in modern day times generation meant world of unbelievers, now am i wrong to assume that what is mentioned in paragraph 15 of the last study article in the feb. 15th watchtower is that the annointed are the "generation"?

is this now new light?

are we to assume that this is still the truth despite the changes, i mean what if they are and our faith is being tested?

No way, I can't believe they did it again!

They sure did, Elysian. Welcome to JWD - hope to hear more from you! penny

You could send it to the Australian branch: PO Box 280, Ingleburn, NSW 1890. They'll probably just send it on to the local elders so you could expect a visit.

That's nice that you got a response. It's pleasant. She probably misses you. Or am I romanticizing?

Newbie Hello

by yomomma in

i am very new to the site and i'm sure there is a learning curve, so please bear with me.

i have looked around a little and find the site very interesting and encouraging so far.

it is heartwarming to meet other people with questions or experiences who can relate them without needing to hide behind blatant negativity or automatic judgemental attitudes.

Welcome to JWD, yomomma! Sounds like you have a good friend in CCS!! I'm a fader too, so know the kind of problems you are facing. Great that you and your husband are on the same page.
