  here is part of my story until i have more time.

  i am know 30 years old, i have been married for almost 9 years to someone who has no relgous ties at all.

  i was baptized when i was 19 due to pressure from my family, they wanted me to to get baptized when i was 16. i think i may hold the record for most comitee meetings probably about 20, i was publilcly reproved and disassociated.

  since i was last on, have recently started having a social life - amazing how much computer time life can take up.. thought i'd let you all know that i am getting on great, getting fit, going to the gym and dragon boating (look it up) and some rugby too.

  and making new friends while i'm at it, will not forget all of you though and will keep popping in to see how everyone is even if i don't always post lots :).

  Went with my hubbys family (he didn't come, rides make him sick). Extended families are great. Met 2 more of hubbys sisters partners brothers (he is one of 5 boys). I sometimes miss my family - cousins, sisters etc so its great that hubbys family are so welcoming and accepting of me, I always thought of myself as a bit of a weirdo because of how I was treated in dubdom.

  Had a great time, went on most of the rides I wanted to and because the weather wasn't the best (it started raining about 2 hrs after we got there and didn't stop) it meant that there weren't any huge crowds so we were able to go from one ride to the next without spending hours in queues. I had waterproofs and as long as I was able to go into the loos every now and again and blowdry my trousers I was a happy bunny.

  Went on the kiddie rides too as my neice is 1.2m and couldn't go on some of the adult rides that have a 1.4m restriction, my nephew had it the best, he is just 1.4m so got on the kiddie rides that had the max height restriction too, he was boasting about the fact he went on more rides than anyone. lol. kids are so funny and so competitive. You should have seen their faces on the big roller coasters, absolutley freaking out and nearly crying and then going "that was fun" when it stopped!

  Declaring JW's a cult to co-workers

  by OnTheWayOut in

  2. friends

  i am in a unique work situation which i won't describe because i am a fader.. let's just say that it's like vegas.

  what happens (or is said) at work stays at work.. we are a fairly tight bunch.

  some of my closest co-workers know my situation.

  I totally agree that making friends outside of dubdom is the best thing you can do when considering a fade. A support system is a necessity as your current network of "supportive" friends will drop you like hot coals. My work co-workers are great.

  Why 6 Billion People Deserve to Die in Armageddon

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah is such a righteous, merciful, loving god -- slow to anger, overflowing with loving kindness and blessing.

  yet it somehow bothers many of you that he will shortly execute his judgment on mankind and wipe out 99.9% of the world's population, as if that somehow is supposed to conflict with his loving qualities.

  personally, i have no idea why many of you feel this way.

  SCI FI fans - looking for a story I read 35 yrs ago

  by hamsterbait in

  2. friends

  i read this in a collection i got from the school library.. a man wakes up from cryogenic sleep, to see a painted bust.

  he is restrained.. turns out he is the last human, and the robots have attempted to keep him alive by painting a statue so he is not shocked by their appearance.. the lead robot becomes known as "sister.

  " the man explains puns, and extends its programming for original thnking.

  On Faith

  by BFD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is something that my sister sent me out of the blue.... on faith faith is a state of openness or trust.

  to have faith is to trust yourself to the water.

  when you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown.
