i went to a catholic wedding of a real good friend this afternoon and it was a real nice experience.
my wife, who still .
strictly adheres to watchtower doctrine was going to go but she made her self sick worrying about what she was going to.
I'm glad you went TBTS! I went through the same agony before going to a church wedding 15 years ago...and it ended up a great experience.
Now when I went to the cathedrals in Europe, I had a similar experience to your's. I guess if listened to enough talks in my life with words words and more words. Now a more external beautiful experience allows me to reflect and find my inner words on things rather than the WTBS's constantly drilled in my brain.
Good for you!
well, i guess it's time for me to write the story of how i ended up here.. i was born in 1976 in new orleans.
i was raised in the organazation.
i never knew any different.
Thanks for sharing your story bigdreaux. And congratulations on your happiness!
This gives hope.
i just found out about an hour ago.
he wasn't even old enough to drink yet.. to make it even sh*ttier, he had called me a few weeks ago and asked if he could come out here with me but i couldn't do it at the time.
so of course the first thing that comes to mind is if i had done something different it wouldn't have happened.. he was going through the sh*t as i call it, when witnesses go off the deep end and get into everything in the world to stop hurting and they don't even know what is wrong.
There are no words for this. We are all here for you.
I am so sorry for your loss. (((((((WLG)))))))
my girfriends and i are planning a trip to maui next year to go diving and snorkeling.
we already have the condo reserved.
has anyone here been to maui?
Mama's Fish House Paia (must go but $$$).
That's it!!! Well worth saving and splurging. Go at lunch, I'm sure it's less expensive. I agree...on the seven pools at Hana.
Maui is not that big...you can do it all!!
Confidence seems to be big with me. Good sense of humor, funny, and he's has to be smart. I like a guy who is a few steps ahead of me, keeps me on my toes.
As far as looks, it seems the blue-eyed black haired gents seem to get to me. But that doesn't matter really, especially if I don't have the above.

Maui is wonderful! Go to Halelakela (sp??) and see the sunrise...worth the trouble, you will never forget it. I think Hana is great also; you will pass the wind surfers.
Everything is pricey. But if you are in a condo, eat in for two meals and spluge on the third. Also...what is the great fish restaurant on the airport side, "The Fish House" or something like that...just spectacular.
Enjoy! You will love it all!
for those of you don't know our story sweet pea and i stopped attending all meetings quite abruptly about 4 months ago.
since then we have had a few ill-advised conversations with jw friends and family stating our reasons - sometimes in emails.
also sp emailed a new friend on another forum her experiene with going to a new church.
Man this stuff makes my blood boil.
I don't know what you should do...I think each one's decision is very personal. But it is wonderful to hear how different one's have approached this situation.
In the end, the most perfect thing is that you have a move to concentrate on, and getting a fresh start will put some distance between you and the pain.
(((((((((Sweet Pea & Besty)))))))))
Strength for the journey. Looking forward to knowing you better.
yep, bourdain's no reservations tops my list of favorites.. why is it that shows on food and cooking, reality or otherwise, kick the ass of just about everything else on tv?
what do you expect with crap like america's got talent?
yeah, maybe it does, but not much of it's getting on that show!.
Anthony Bourdain HANDS down! Love him, love how he thinks!
Semi-Homemade - I know I know...she's irritating, but her ideas are good. I tape it and skip the irritating parts, like "tablescapes!" (Bleech)
Nigella, Jamie Oliver...and I used to tape "Calorie Commando", the guy took familiar high calorie foods and morphed them into healthier options using innovative ideas.
my mom has to have a heart cath tomorrow at 11 am, please pray for her, or send well wishes.
this is the 2nd one she has had in the last 4 years.
im hoping and praying that the doctors can fix whatever they find.. .
So sorry for your loss. And best thoughts and wishes to your mom for her speedy recovery.
D
ok, so i thought it was good but not quite as good as the other episodes.
last night seemed a little slow like a filler episode or something.
ya know what i mean?
bttt
I went to the HBO site to read up on the episode.
Interesting, Bill "confers the priesthood" on his Ben.
