about 10am this morning i was following my roommate down the interstate (helping him move a few things) and all of a sudden, i had the worst pain i've ever felt in my belly.. the pain was between my nipples and the middle of my belly, but it was all around my body- even that section of my back hurt.
it felt like someone had tied a very tight band around my torso and was pulling it tighter and tighter.. after being in pain for only about 5 minutes, i had to pull over.
i jumped out of my car and ran over to the gaurd rail, thinking that perhaps i would vomit.
Your symptoms could be anything - but if you were a patient calling me on the phone with those symptoms I'd tell you to get to the nearest ER for evaluation - you Sx's are sings of Heart Attack and if it is it needs to be treated NOW, if not great maybe just gas. In either event If I were you I'd go to the doctor.

my daughter is allergic to peanuts.
she will have an anaphylactic reaction just from a small amount.
someone made a barbecue sauce with peanut butter.
I'm glad she's ok. I once had a patient that had a severe reaction, she didn't eat the item made with peanut, the doctor thought maybe the same utensil had been used prior and just that little bit caused a reaction. Your daughter is very lucky!
Tell her I said "use the epipen"!

i just had an encounter with a man at the bank and i'm still shaking:.
i pull up to the bank to use the atm ( atm in small lobby), i park next to a large truck and next to the truck was another car.
there was 1 man using the atm, and no one in line or outside.
By the way, this was what my original post stated
I looked at him and said "I don't know what you were waiting for but you weren't in line". I guess I'm supposed to be a mind reader.
The last sentance was just a thought in my head not what I said the guy.

How would you feel if someone approached you in an enclosed space, cursing you out, yelling about "when are you people going to stop thinking you can do what you want"? When that person is approx. 6'2 300lbs, male and i'm 5'4 135lb female???
I might add that unfortunately I live in an area where racism is all to prominent, confederate flags everywhere. I'm African American female and he's the "tobacco spitting", "confederate flag toting white male".
I was trying to not bring this into my post, and now I'm sorry I even posted the damn thread. I don't intend to futher this conversation with you as I stated before and now I'm even more sure you would never understand.

The only reason anyone ever says "What, am I supposed to read minds?" is when they're trying to piss someone off, otherwise known as being a smartarse. From my view, both parties escalated the situation
So why would this person follow me instead of going inside the bank JD? If he wasn't yelling and cursing at me in the first place nothing would have been said. I suppose that you would have just not said anything or maybe just canceled you transaction and let him go "since of course, he was there first sitting in his car.
Having an opinion and stating your opinion is fine, but you weren't there and have no idea of it's effect's on me personally. Anyway, your a man and have no idea what it feels like to be a women being followed by some ranting lunatic, so i can't hold you responsible for your insensative response.
Again, thanks to those that posted helpfull hints!

i've been out (df'd) for over a year now and the last 6 months or so have my eyes really been opened to the real truth.
now i celebrate being df'd, and have i realized i am finally free from the mind controlling stupid cult.
life at times outside the borg is rough with my new "sea legs".
Hey jibberish and welcome to JWD.
I've been out for 24 years, walked away when I turned 18, never da'd, never df'd (I guess they could have df'd me, but none of my family has said anything), I just never went back to any meetings and refused to meet with the elders.
I never had the feelings that you are going thru, I always had friends that were not JW's and the one's that were JW I never missed at all. I think those of us who built a life outside the JW org have faired much better than those whose whole life was the BORG.
Just give it time, be sincere when making new friends. Friendship is built on trust so be honest with your new friends it will help them understand your "quirky ways" and maybe they will be able to be a better friend to you. Also remember true friendship takes time to build, it doesn't happen overnight, so be patient give it time.

life after being a jw is so hard at times - i know many of you can relate to that.
i thought i'd share my experience with you all.
i've met two of the best mates i could ever have dreamt of, although they are quite a lot younger than me they have older heads upon young shoulders, and at the time we've met we're at similar places to each other.
CS 101,
It's great to have friends who have unconditional love and friendship for us. You don't get that in the BORG.

Your post reminds me of my father, whenever I call to see how they are doing he'll say, "Oh, I have another committee meeting", or "I had to stay late at the hall for a judicial matter", blah blah blah. He just seems to take great pride in his power of the R&F. These meetings are so important, translated to I'm so important.

so my ex called a little while ago.
she said she was calling to check on me out of concern.
i've been to 2 meetings in a month.
Hang in there R.F. Anyway you can ignore her (or anyone else's) calls? Just don't answer them.

last friday my roommate wrote a very nice letter to the elder who told her not to believe everything she reads on the internet.
she basically told them that it was not just on the internet and that it was the truth and she would not be donating any money to finance such a thing.
she also included the 14 page rick mclean case that i printed for her off of silent lambs.
I don't remember, but is she a JW or just studying?
If she is a JW she should be ready for a JC and if studying they might end all contact. I hope all goes well for her.
