'No being overly attached to the wrong people or things is what results in heartache.'
Problem: Sometimes ones own adult child/children can bring on the heartache in life - more difficult to de-attach.

As we grow older
by greendawn inas time passes and you grow older and more mature how does your life or your outlook on life and one or other issue change?
i was thinking yesterday how silly it was to fall in love with a girl, focus exclusively on her and run the risk of serious disappointment and trauma if she left when there were so many other women in the world.
when you had no marriage or children to worry about.

Things YOU eat, that other people think is weird.
by misanthropic inthis mornings events have got me thinking about things.
i love peanut butter, not the sweet kind but i like the old fashioned peanut butter, usually laura scudder's with no sugar or preservatives - it just tastes better imo.
i put it on everything including pancakes which are really good with peanut butter and maple syrup.

misanthropic,
'I don't think you can even get it in the US though or even order it online.'
You are right on. Vegemite contains folate and US forbids this product (folate) unless it's prescribed by a doctor.
Glad it has'nt happened over here.

Magdalenefan welcome,
It is a lonely road after a divorce or going thru one and being at the KH doesn't help with all those cosy couples happy or unhappy. It tends to make the pain worse. If you find the new church helps you feel better go for it. Best thing is not to feel you have to turn up each time.
Take it easy on yourself until you feel stronger.

Nothing beats Vegemite.
Grilled slices of tasty cheese melted over toast with Vegemite. I hear that it's not to the taste of American people. Too strong and yeasty. Over here it's an everyday snack any time of day.

Are you a 'Life is Over-rated' or a 'life is what you make it' type person?
by needproof ini was wondering who out there is a 'life is what you make it' type person.
i must admit that i am a 'life is over-rated' type.
i don't wish to sound negative but how can you say to a kid born in war torn sudan 'oh, get over it... life is what you make it!'.

'What life is there for anybody living below the rate of living?'
Life then becomes a mere existence. One steps out each day to see what's in the letterbox.

Dreamer,
Welcome, here you will find friends to give support.
Your words "they took away my life" well, no one has that power. Don't give it to them. Take time to get your life under your own control.
Also the title 'New and SAD'. Please dont allow yourself to become OLD and sad while you are considering your future.

Apostates do you still read Watchtower literature? And if so Why do you?
by booker-t ini was just wondering how many ex-jws still read wt literature and if so why.
i have noticed alot of posters here know what the lastest wt or awake magazines are talking about and i was just wondering why do you bother to read that stuff since you left the wt?

I still read them at times. Their 'back-peddling' on certain prophecies/beliefs are enlightening to say the least.
Old habits die hard.

The origins of the Star of Bethlehem - was Satan really behind it?
by truthseeker inthere's an interesting dicsussion going on in channelc about the origins of the star of bethlehem.. "the wt continues to teach that the star was in fact a light from satan, who was seeking to kill the child jesus.
what i noted from actually reading the account, is that there is no justifiable proof from scripture, that what the wt teaches about that light being from satan, is true.".
....... and i have to concur.

Would the Magi be going by Balaam’s prophecy at Numbers 24:17 “…..A star will certainly step forth out of Jacob, and a scepter will indeed rise out of Israel And verse 19 “And out of Jacob one will go subduing.” The scepter, (a symbol of authority held by a sovereign) referring to the future King, Jesus Christ.

I feel more at peace nowadays. No longer thinking to myself 'what a nice person he/she is and what a pity he/she isn't in-the-truth', better if he/she dies before the big A comes so he/she will get a resurrection. Gaaa! Yeah, the cataloguing days are over now. Witchettygrub
