well let's face it they make a fuss about panty hose, skirts, i was even counselled for sitting with my knees apart.. why should old women be allowed to wear men's (lesbian) short hair and beards too?.

I saw a woman at the grocery store with significant hair on her upper lip and chin.............I wondered "why don't you do something?" It's not going away.
That's because at the same time as the facial hair starts growing, the eyes start deteriorating. So you can't actually see the hair yourself. Until one day you catch a sideways glance in the mirror and - whoops - you know by the length of the hair that it's been there for a while.
mine is saturday at a nice country club... my boyfriend is taking me, though it's not his cup of tea.. he's a really great guy.. our company christmas party used to be at the omni parker house in boston...very formal.

tonight i have an association holiday party... (csi...construction specification institute) it's being held at the ica (institute of contemporary art) in boston.
Yes, I'm going tonight. Downunder they call it a "Work Christmas Do."
if you grew up a jw, did you always know you weren't going to be one when you grew up?
did you ever have that spark?
i don't think i always knew i wouldn't be one.
No, I was convinced I'd be in the "new system" by 1975 - or soon after. Unlike others, I enjoyed meetings and FS. I wanted to help others be there after 1975 also.
Took me a while to work it out - but I did in the end.
after years of fighting a physical disability that ended in kidney failure and several bouts of respiratory/cardiac arrestmy mom landed in the hospital last week.
the doc's said she needed heart surgery and kidney transplants but before they could operate they need to get her blood count back up.
it had fallen well below what her body could naturally restore on its own she she needed transfusions.
So sorry for your loss. I hope you have lots of support from your family and friends. I'd say wear your uniform with pride.

recently i talked to an elder friend, who is used to and tolerates my liberal thinking about the "truth", about restrictions after df'ing and reproof.
i asked for the scriptural reasons for such.
he proceeded to hem and haw, "well they are necessary for blah, blah...." i repeated scriptural .
They just don't have an answer because there is no scriptural basis. Good reasoning.
Thinking of you Dan.

i've only been out since july and i fear i'll never get rid of hearing the wt voice at the back of my head.. for those of you who have been out for many years, do you feel you are totally free from them??.
thanks/newborn.
Yes, Newborn. It's early days yet and you'll get through. There will be some milestones, like the first memorial missed, the first birthday celebrated. It will feel strange but you'll get there.

and damm i love to shop...even on black friday.
i have a feeling it is just because i have never done it and it was forbidden...but so was sex once and i jumped all over that one!
is it because i do not believe jesus was not god nor his son?
I'd love to do it if the whole family was involved. We used to celebrate wedding anniversaries and they were fun at the time. I'm sure xmas would be even better.
i went back home for a visit over tg.
my mom and her husband were in town visiting as well.
i met them for lunch and he was telling me about the convention they had during the summer.
My mom was beaming as he spoke. She was filled with so much admiration.
That's sweet, in a way. I guess they are happy being JWs!

everywhere i go latley we meet damn witnesses!
the cinema watching quantum of solice full of witnesses...mcdonalds having a coffee...witnesses!
and the "love bombing" starts.
Compared to what you've been through, I think this is a small problem.
If going back to meetings makes her feel happy and more stable, let it be. That doesn't mean you have to go yourself though.
Think of it as a bit of "me" time - relax at home while she's at the meeting.
