  dear Lady, We must be about at the same stage of breaking free! Congratulations dear! It is SO MUCH FUN and no guilt. I've been thinking of putting a wreath or bow on my vehicle too! Merry Christmas Lady Liberty and much happiness to you and yours.

  Just had to share! Today is my birthday. Don't really know how I am supposed feel. I guess I am happy. My dad and both grandmas sent me birthday cards and money. They arrived in the mail yesterday and I could hardly wait to open them today. They're on the mantle now. My uncle, who I am not close to or see, called early this morning to wish me a "happy birthday" . He asked my grandma for my phone number because he's never been able to tell me that before. That was nice. Well, just sharing. It is really odd. Wish I had more memories to fall back on. I am thinking of all the family occasions I have missed. So much more was missed than I care to think about. We plan on celebrating on Thursday. Our little guy has a christmas musical tonight at school. And our daughter's is tomorrow afternoon with church christmas choir practice in the evening. Maybe I'll take the money and go buy a present for myself today. That would be nice. Kitten Whiskers

  We have been attending a new church for about 4 months and there is a "church mailbox" there. You can exchange xmas cards without paying postage to fellow members. Well, we aren't members there, but someone gave us a card. Here's the kicker, they had all of our names on there and I have no idea yet who they are!!! I thought maybe it was the preacher and his wife or one of the families the kids are in the christmas choir with. This is our first card. I hear my aunt and uncle plan on sending one. I am excited to get them. I sent a bunch out to family (not jws) that will probably surprise them. Maybe we'll get a few cards or calls. I am looking forward to checking the mail. Kitten Whiskers

  I Don't Believe in God, or wait, Maybe I Do. . . a little wisdom please?

  i am conflicted as to whether i can or even want to believe in god.

  (using capital g out of respect) i can't separate love of god and my jw life.

  i pioneered for 10+ years, and thank goodness for that, because i can now easily memorize anything and read upside down.

  Give yourself time. I too try to read mostly from the new testament. Came near a nervous breakdown while exiting the jw thinking and trying to figure out so much. Is God's name Jehovah? Is he a trinity? I still don't have all the answers I want. But I am learning to trust his love and not be AFRAID of him. I am going to a church that teaches and shows love. Today the preacher said " If we are in the middle of God's will, we don't have to fear. We are never alone" JW teaching is so warped compared to this simple statement. What did the scriptures really say is God's Will? Loving God and neighbor and taking care of widows and orphans. When we can attach God's will to these and not just think " we have to go in field service every available minute and it will still never be enough", Christ's load does become light and his yoke kindly. This is what I have been finding in the past year since I left. Pour your heart out in prayer and keep searching. Remember the scripture, if you knock it will be opened to you? Keep knocking. I have so many times wished I could ask Jesus questions face to face and have answers. I know I'm not alone. Sometimes it seems like the knock at the door will never be answered, but I think we grasp a small amount at a time. This is a very emotional and psychologically challenging time. I hope you find your answers! Hugs, Kitten Whiskers

  JG-I think maybe you have a special way of sensing when the weather is going to get bad and have a "fleeing" mechanism built in! Birds migrate before winter, you leave before disaster! Some with arthritis feel pain in their joints before a storm, you feel the need to travel!:-) Kitten Whiskers

  OK. I'm hooked. If this is a weekly series, I hope you don't do reruns like t.v. and keep us hanging! Thank you for sharing your story. Glad to see you here. This site is truly helpful and enlightening. Aye? A little canadian accent for you! I am from Michigan and we were neighbors! Now, in Georgia, they don't seem to take those canadian coins at the stores like in Michigan! I wonder why. LOL Looking forward to your next sharing. Kitten Whiskers
