i would definitely have to say YES!! i feel so much better about myself since i've been out. others notice it too. it's funny how when you have self-confidence and a dash of self esteem it oozes out of you. recently i saw a girl at the bank that i'd graduated with. haven't seen her in almost 8 years. she was going on and on about how great i looked and how happy i seemed now. she coudn't believe it. it seems like i've really grown into feeling comfortable in my own skin. perhaps that's part of getting a little older, but i attribute it mainly to be out of the org. for the first time in my life i have friends that are truly my friends. people who i know i can count on for us to be there for each other. life is definitely good

Since You've Been "Out"----Do You Feel Better About Yourself???
by minimus ini do.
it's great knowing that leaving the organization has not produced our "weeping and gnashing of the teeth" as we might once have believed.
we've become free!!!!!!!!!

Do JW's hate wearing shoes or what?
by blindfool in.
is it only the book studies i've been to or is it tradition to remove your shoes when going to a book study at someones home?.
i always have to remember to make sure my socks don't have holes in them.

yeah, i think it must be a cultural thing up this way. it's prettymuch expected that you take your shoes off when you enter someone's home. even to this day, my gramma has a fit if we wear our shoes in past the rug in front of the door.

Post your ugly mug
by SC_Guy inok, this is kind of a silly thread... but... since i haven't seen any really recent "post your photo" threads, i'll start one.
you know how it goes... post a recent picture of yourself - don't be fooled by the topic title, lol... it doesn't have to be ugly.
ok, me first... ugly mugshots are easy for me to take being that i am just utterly hideous.

Plastic Surgery
by simplesally in.
i think that is such a hot topic i had to post about it.
my boobs are absolutely perfect but hanging a little low due to nursing and being 40 and i think that around the eyes, i could go with a little lift............ so what's ok with you?

i think it's totally a personal decision, just remember that for the most part, it's permanent. there are lots of cosmetic procedures out there: boob jobs, nose jobs, LASIK. just have to weigh out the positives and negatives for yourself. back to the topic at hand, i did have my nose done. only after an accident left it about 1/4" off to one side and it wasn't altered very much. still looks very natural--people are generally surprised if/when i tell them. do your research and find a good surgeon. that can make a huge difference too.

omg, i was still recovering last night. let's see, i rolled into my parent's driveway at 5 am saturday morning thinking "well at least i can sleep til noon and be ok." no such luck. at 9 am my cell rings, it's my brother informing me that there are people at my apartment to install a patio door (he was staying there for the weekend with a friend). i tell him, yes, that's fine. ok, at least a few more hours of sleep. good christ, is that too much to ask?!?! but no! at 9:45 my mom comes in to ask if i can go to the grocery store and pick up some things then start lunch before they get back from field service because there are some friends coming for lunch. i finally fall asleep after that and she wakes me up again!!! this time, my dad is worried because his eyes are still dilated from his eye exam friday afternoon and they want me to look at them and see if they're ok. i can't do a fricken thing about it anyway!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!!!!! lol, so i just got up for the day. the lunch went fine, but then it was on to walmart and kohl's for shopping. i was so pooped i fell asleep on the couch at 7 last night and woke up at midnight, brushed my teeth and crawled back into bed til this morning. i'm just getting too old to party so hard

What's your status....relationship wise?
by Maverick inone of the down sides of the web is not knowing the various posters status; married, involved, looking, and lost...suspect a lot of those here!
my status is complicated...mostly by me!
i have a couple of admirers that would like to lock me down but i keep dancing around the whole issue.

Has anyone ever munched at the memorial?
by Sirius Dogma ini have always wanted to do that at a kingdom hall.
over the past few years i celebrated pesach (passover) with some jewish friends and it was so cool to be able to munch the food.
besides the jewish tradition was much more fun and was more like a party.
