so i just registered and i thought i should say something about myself instead of just lurking about.
i'm 21 years old and i left the the jw's when i was 18. i was born into the religion so it's been really hard getting use to things.
my story is pretty complicated and for some safety reasons i can't say to much.
Welcome Sarahbear,
Glad you joined us. Crazy SOB's. Stick around and find out what real love and friendship is all about.

last night, i was struck nearly head-on by a person attempting a left turn as i passed through the intersection.
i was injured, as well as the other driver.
the police told me that he broke his arm, and was in shock.
So sorry to hear about your accident. Glad you both were not hurt seriously.
Take it easy for the next few days and heal.
Hugs (((((((((((((((((Jim)))))))))))))))))))))))))))

at least 10 stingrays have been found dead and mutilated on australia's eastern coast since crocodile hunter steve irwin was killed by one of the animals last week.
the killings have prompted fears of "revenge attacks" against the normally docile fish.
How sad! This is not what Steve or his family would want.
to all of you who know what it is to miss a loved pet.. i never knew in all my jdubb years that it can hurt so much when an animal dies.
i never knew that a man could get attached to a cat.
when i was a dubb i would not allow the kids to have a housepet 'cause then you couldn't spend as much time in service.
Hugs to you.
Losing our furry kids can be tough. We lost a beloved cat many years ago and we still miss him.
Rmember him with love.
i am 32 weeks pregnant and it is 3:30 in the morning and i can;t sleep because no matter what position i am in, either my back hurts or my legs go numb.
i have heartburn raging like a wild beast with seven horns upon its head.
my fingers look and feel like sausages, my feet are burning up and two sizes bigger than normal and i still have 8 weeks to go.
Congrats!!! I know you are suffering now but look ahead to the joy and fun. We have a gal in my office that is in the same shape as you so I can sympathize with you. We all suffer along with her and give her incourgement and sympathy. Hang in there its not long now.

I didn't have the lap, I had the open RNY Gastric Bypass. Its been 3 years ago now. Never had any problems. Here is a great web wed site to visit, there is lots of info on all the diffrent surgerys. Obesityhelp.com. Oh I lost 100 lbs, gained a few back but working to take them back off.
Best of luck!!!

a few weeks ago i posted that a very good friend of mine from childhood was diagnoised with terminal colon cancer.. we were very close growing up in the dubdum, and we were in each others wedding party.
our kids reffered to each of us as uncle and his kids look towards my parents as their grandparents.. we drifted apart after i left the lie, but we managed to stay in touch infrequently even if only to keep updated on the kids or other family members.. fortunately for me, i was able to spent a lot of time with him while he was in the hospital and hospice, and we reconnected as friends almost like the old days.
on may 19th, although it was the day before my family vacation and i had a lot of running around to do, me and my wife went to see him.
So sorry for your loss.
Its hard to lose our friend.
My heart weeps for yoy.

hold on everybody....ready for this.... .
if you've been reading my posts over the past few months you'd see the research and progress my dad (a former elder) has been making.
he and my stepmom were visiting us this weekend and he told us he's done with the jw's.
Thats just wonderful !!!!!
He has a rough road ahead but thank god he has you for support and unconditional love.
My best to both of you, praying for your stepmom to come around too!

i know this might sound abit "paranoid" but as i mentioned on other posts before i am a "heavy" person who is losing weight.
so far i have lost 65 pounds and i am still losing through a "strict"diet and exercise.
i was at a restaurant the other day and there were 4 "thin" people sitting at a table across from a "very heavy overweight" man.

Hi, first of all congratulations on your weight loss. I too have struggled with weight loss, its wonderful that you are able to do this on your own. I tried and failed to many times to mention, and 3 yrs ago had surgery. Yes I too have seen much rudness to heavy people by thin ones. Its such a shame too. I learned that many overweight people try and try to lose weight and many times lose the battle. I only feel for these people and hope and pray they can lose the weight in some way or another.
Best of luck on the weight loss!!
