Hmm, my post is resurrected. Oompa -- I think, even in the past month or so since I've posted that, we've gotten to that point. We've talked about "after the house is done" (remodel/rebuild sorta thing) being the "when" to getting married. So no hurry, probably no proposal needed, we'll just up and make it official one of those days future... It's one of those things we simply 'know'.

yesterday, a poster brought back many old threads and, on all of them, i see november 29th 1999...... go to page 6991 or 6992 of the "active topcs" and let me know what date you see.... i pm'd a mod and she didn't know what i was talking about.....so wondered if this was only me..... .

I saw it yesterday, too. But figured it was some sort of glitch, maybe related to Jack Crabbe or Barney or whatever the hell was going on.

i don't think so.. to me, the vast majority of jws become witnesses because they desire everlasting life.
they want to live in paradise.
they love feeling special.
I care about people more now as an ex-JW than I ever did as a JW. Then, people were numbers on a time slip... Now, people are friends, family, friendly souls in parking lots, old people who need help reading shirt tags or carrying something and so on...

They weren't too happy when I'd get football scores via text messages during Sunday afternoon meetings...

on being discarded by the love of your life.
on getting on with your life.
on going downhill (physically, emotionally, or while taking a walk).
On Being Discarded by the Love of Your Life -- I found another Love of my life
On Getting on With Your Life -- sometimes easier said than done; talking JW here. At times I want to do horrible things to the JW that crapped on me like pull pranks, write letters... but then realize that they're just delusioned people living a fairy tale they're happy in and really, not worth my time or energy to burst their little freaky bubble. My life is so immensely happy right now that the past 1.5 years I've been out have made up for the 15 crummy years in.
On Going Downhill (physically, emotionally, or while taking a walk) -- Physically -- I'm 39 and doing pretty well for the most part. My appendix decided to do the 'childhood' thing and rupture last month, so it's been a bit more of a recovery than if I WAS a 10 year old... Emotionally -- I'm on top of the hill. Taking a walk -- I find good shoes offer necessary tread.
On Dieting -- meh. I don't.
On Being a Princess -- After being treated like a frog by the ex, I know now what it's like being a princess to the right man....
On Celibacy -- I was celibate for 7 months once.
On Not Sweating the Small Stuff -- as single mom to three kids, working FT blah blah (you know the story) -- this is my mantra!
On True Friends Whom You May Never Meet in Person -- I love my "imaginary friends" on the db I visit, turn to them for advice, can share my good and bad with them, have 'coffee' with them w/out having to get dressed or shower (bonus) and 'see' them all hours of the day.

If he says no, will you stay with him?
Yeah.
We've been together for 10 months, through a lot of wonderful things and not-so-wonderful things (his dad passed away this year). I met him on a Thursday night (hahahaha old 'meeting night' --oh thank goodness I'm out or I'd have missed this man), went out Friday and Saturday nights, NY Eve was a Sunday night and he stayed over ... We've both been slapped silly by how much and how strong we felt so fast, but it hasn't faded but only strengthened. He's broken down every wall that my stupid JW ex caused me to put up... I trust my heart completely in his. We're planning on having me and my little people move into a house he's building (should be done next summer) and the "M" word has been tossed around a tiny bit. Neither of us really feel like we need the piece of paper to be 'us', so maybe it's just the romantic (?) in me wanting it official. So it might not even be a matter of me actually asking him, but saying something along the lines of "ya wanna?"

hi everyone,.
a letter has been prepared by anonymous brothers to be sent to bodies of elders around the world.. of course this is a massive undertaking and we are asking for assistance from active and inactive ones around the world who share the sentiments of the letters contents.. your participation in this action indicates your sincere desire to see change within the organization that has become authoritarian in recent years.. we ask that the letter be addressed to "the body of elders" in each respective congregation.. please do not add any further information or commentary.. we are also relying on non-english speaking brothers to translate and distribute this letter.. it will not matter if more than one letter is received by each congregation.
.
I'll send this to as much of NW Iowa congs as I can find addresses for...
