i left about 8 years ago, at the grand old age of 24, basically being an unmarried mum of 1 (baptised when my girl was 11months old) and the 'tipping point for me' when elder sisters tried to set me up for marriage to a 64year old elder, as that would be the only man willing to marry a girl such as myself.
i ran away, i moved 300miles away.
there should be a witness pretection programme ;).
sex may seem nice but it should come with a warning tag
Yeah, like use protection every time no exceptions! Preaching abstinence is great but we also need to educate our children cause you can't be with them 24/7 and chances are they will even when you say don't!
The uneducated are the biggest risk group.

it is a beautiful day.
the sun is out and the birds are singing.
i have wonderful friends, a precious man i love, and healthy happy kids.. can anyone join me in sharing the love and beauty in their life?
I haven't slept well in 3 days, my knees hurt constantly and my pants were on backwards today and again no one told me just like when I had on two different shoes
But I woke up this morning, my children are healthy, happy and as usual a pain in the ARSE, my husband is still hanging around even though menopause threatens his very life each time he puts a damn blanket on me at night, I have a wonderful career so yes I have much happiness in my life despite the bumps in the road
Thanks for asking and sharing!

My aunt threw a pot of hot oatmeal on her husband after he beat her. It was the first time he ever laid a hand on her and it was also the last! So in repayment for the complimentary black eye, cut lip, broken ribs and concussion he got 2nd degree burns.

what will your children be doing april 25, 2008?

"the gay straight alliance is sponsoring its annual day of silence on april 25, 2008, at public schools and colleges across the country.
IMHO, homosexual behavior among boys at least is pure fallout from divorce, which is also condemned, as mothers cannot teach boys how to be men.

luke 4:16-19 jesus, went back to nazareth, where he had been brought up, and as usual he went to the meeting place on the sabbath.
when he stood up to read from the scriptures, he was given the book of isaiah the prophet.
he opened it and read,.
I found $20.00 in the parking lot today and it had "Jesus saves" written on it! Maybe Jebus sent it to me? Or maybe it is Jebus
I needed that 20 so I'll thank Jebus for that today

maybe you still get some "encouraging" email forwards with cute stories and anecdotes.
this one i saw really hit a nerve with me.
i think so-and-so needs to read that.
do you ever wish your family was different than what you have?
i would so love to have the type of family a friend of mine has.
they are all very very close, their children are very close, they get together every sunday for brunch, each sibling takes a turn at having it at their place.
Hey BB
I know what you mean. I have a huge extended family but because my parents were JW's we only saw them when we took vacation, I didn't grow up with my cousins and aunties and uncles not even grandparents!
My siblings and I were very close growing up, and even though 2 of my brothers are still in we talk all the time. My brother and his wife were in town not too long ago and we went to dinner and had a ball. I feel like I can only spend limited time with him and his wife though because eventually they will start the JW talk and useing the JW lingo and that just burns me up!
I'm close to all my siblings except 2 - the lieing, criminal, drug addict and the golden youngest child.
As BFD said "you can pick your friends but family, you are just stuck with!
