  Knocking on the Doors of Classmates out in service

  could anything have been more embarrassing?

  you could be at the door of the least popular munger in school, but overwhelmed with envy because, hey, at least he was doing something normal.

  in 8th grade, at the peak of childhood self-consciousness, i knocked on the door of a super popular, rich, "in" kid from my class and he answered the door.

  Besides not being able to sleep late and missing Saturday morning cartoons this was the part of FS I hated most. I had a lot of friends in school, despite my parents and I would be so embarrassed when knocking on their doors. My school mates knew that my parents were JW's and I always told everybody at school that I wasn't a JW. Of course there were some that weren't very friendly that always looked for a reason to pick on you.

  For the most part school was my safe haven from everything JW so I enjoyed going. My friends felt sorry for me when I couldn't participate in after school activities and parties and usually found a way to slip me Valentines day cards and birthday and Christmas presents. Usually something that wouldn't be suspect if my parents found it.

  Anyone here into vegetarianism?

  this trying to become somewhat of a vegetarian is hard.

  i can look up anything on the net and find out how to do anything, including how to make a devastating nail bomb to making ricine (sp) to kill people but i can't seem to find out the nutritional values a person needs.. what i worry about most is the protein that we need on a daily basis.

  right now i am eating everything that has the highest content of protein i can find in the cupboard.. i am not trying to go vegetarian because of peta, although i have watched the video's (eeeeewwwww).

  I'm not a vegan but you can get protein in beans, legumes (sp?), Yogurt (not sure if that's allowed).

  I'm sure someone else will be along to help you out more.

  i was not raised in the cult.

  i lived across the street from a county group home that housed 10-12 teen-age boys at any one time.

  i was 14 and in heaven.

  i have a "friend" and i say that loosely because i don't think that she is a good friend.

  she only calls me when my husband is in town to do stuff with her, i.e.

  go to lunch, etc.

  I'm 10% because I drive a 4 door car - but it's probably lower than that because the inside looks like I live out of my car!

  I hope the JWs are paying attention

  the news stations are reporting on the west texas orthodox lds sect compound and the atrocities that have been taking place there.

  the sect tells its adherants that "anyone on the outside is of the devil".

  also, the sect has previously predicted the end of the world.

  Lurking Witnesses -- do you see the similarities?

  Of course they don't. They have the "troof" and it doesn't apply to them.

  i find this question another i hate to think of!!.

  i view myself through others which is a reality of zilch so it is bad karma for me to consider it!.

  maybe its circumstantial of many life events but i'll bet exjws feel the power of the above dynamic as a negative force for humanitarian ectics and personal self worth!

  Hey Hortensia,

  I hope you are feeling better this morning! I know exactly how you feel, there have been times when I just wanted to leave with the clothes on my back, change my name and disapear. I kinda did that when I left home at age 18, things got better, then worse, then better again. just when I think all is going well, BAM! something else rocks my world! All we can do is reach out people that either can understand us or give a hug or sometimes just be there to listen with a shoulder to cry on.

  Take one day at a time, yell screem cry cuss do whatever you feel you need to do to let it out, most of all don't try to keep it all in. Just because others have worse problems doesn't mean that your problem isn't significant. Take care of yourself and if you need someone to talk to PM me!

  (((((((((((((((((((((hortensia)))))))))))))))))))))
