hi everybody and happy new year.
2007 is the year i turn 40, in fact in exactly one month's time to be precise.. i've noted that a lot of people on jwd are a similar age to me.
i think it's because it takes us this long to pluck up the courage to finally leave the borg.. i need to know how turning 40 makes you feel.
Thanks for your replies everybody. I'm sure the day will come and go without a hitch, but I want to make the most of the build up to soften the blow!
I actually don't feel any older than I did when I was 21. It's funny that mentally you don't really age but physically you do.
Never mind, can't do anything about it anyhow.

Come on Simon where are you, I know you're out there somewhere, and I know you're turning 40 a few days before me.
Check into my thread (old timer).
how many find that they need or want to be on the forum at least once a day?
do you like keeping up with fellow posters and friends or do like being able to give your thoughts without the fear of being criticized?
i look at some of the amounts that some have posted wow and i am no better for only being here less than a month, it is a great place to talk and get loads of wisdom from others on a variety of subjects, thanks everyone for the thoughtful expressions and heartfelt posts.. abr.
Yeah I'm addicted, but it's a good addiction.

I need to know how turning 40 makes you feel. I haven't decided whether I'm upset about it yet.
As many of you know if you came to Dansk's apostacurry, I love to do a countdown. So today my countdown to 40 starts. Please feel free to join in if your 40th is coming up too.
31 DAYS TILL MARIE IS 40
after a lenthy illness, 10 years in total, my mother, margaret stecko, passed away peacefully today surrounded by family.
she was 84, and leaves behind 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren.
she was a jw but never shunned me.
My thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time.
(((((Walter)))))

luv es.
Your little boy is adorable. XXX
i told them i never wanted to talk about it again, to never bring it up unless i had questions for them.
i said, i have a question for you.
he knew i had been up all night.
No, prove it to me WITHOUT using any of the Societies literature." He said, "Ok." After about 5 hours, and after much study of the scriptures themselves, comparing it with the Kings lists, 586/587 was the match, NOT 607! He could not believe it!
I wish I had the guts to tell my family to do this. And I wish they would have the guts to not use the societies literature to prove their point.
let me start by saying that i have posted here before about my wacko sister -in-law.
this time it is bad.
we recieved a phone call from my husbands father on friday night asking about how we were and what we were up to ,no biggie just odd since its only maybe the second time in over a year that he has called.
I would definitely go down the police and elders route. She sounds like someone who has been totally brainwashed by the sick cult and should be stopped asap.
What a nutter eh?
just wanted to share a little story about christmas at our house.
this morning santa came and the girls were so exited!!
my 4yr old opens her gift and realizes its exactly what she asked santa for.
Oh my god, I had a baby alive doll. I didn't know they still made them!!
I used to feed mine the special food provided, it came in 3 colours, white, yellow and pink. So it never really looked like poo when you changed the nappy (daiper).
Just brought back fond memories though, I loved that doll.
i'm sure this will vary between jw to jw, but their choices are:.
1) they won't watch/read either.. 2) they will only allow lotr, not hp.. 3) they will only allow hp, not lotr.. 4) they will allow both.. in my experience, 3 never happens and 2 happens the most.
with the similar theme of magic, the occult, fantasy and monsters, i wonder what lets them think one is okay and the other is not.
My mum who is a v.strict jw absolutely loves HP and reads all the books and goes to see the film as soon as it comes out.
She is not in the least bit interested in LOTR.
I think if you play by their rules, neither are allowed.
Naughty naughty mother!!!
