i was thinking about this the other day in response to the question, "am i coming back?
" put forward by jw who called me (a former friend).
i said that i would not answer that question since it would put her in an uncomfortable position.
If I didnt have to preach, give talks or comment and wasnt judged adversely for not doing them and if they changed their rules so that EVERYTHING was a 'matter of conscience' and there was no such thing as disfellowshipping...
Then I would go back cause I miss having a family.
edited to add:
or if that. lolWhat if there was an organisation of hot tribal babes, that ran around horny and naked, and they liked to tie you down.....and do stuff?

we are impatiently waiting for the grandson to make his appearance.
Ohh I was waiting for news of the baby coming finally, I must have missed it. Matthew eh? Cool! are there pics?
.
just wondering what experiences you good folks have had with the the famous (or infamous)?
Being a former sports FANATIC I have stayed after many a sports event and waiting paitiently for hours in order to meet players. Probably the most famous I actually spent more than a milisecond with was Charles Barkley. He was really nice contrary to his reputation at the time. Still have the pics of my brother and him that he was nice enough to pose for. Also met Randall Cunningham when I was in my late teens or early twenties and took a dare from the girl that was with me and pinched his bum as he walked by us.
it was much softer than i thought it would be lol
i'm sorry, but i've just watched one of the austin powers movies for the first time after hearing many people rave about them and imo it's almost as bad as "armageddon" that is on the other side.. i thought it was supposed to be a comedy?!
it is kind-a like the poorest "carry-on" movie ever .
the only saving grace that has stopped me switching over is heather graham ... who is hot !!
I with ya, I dont 'get' Austin Powers.
a week before the fest and my little one has come down with mono!
doc says it can last a week or up to a month.
i'm keeping my fingers crossed 4 days of r & r is all that he needs to get better and that i dont catch it.
The fever has broken yay! Were going on day two of no Motrin needed. The lymphs are shrinking and hes not tired in fact he's wearing me out. Unless we have a relapse I think a couple more days of v C, liquids and rest will do the trick.
Whew...
at what stage of recovery are you?
are you angry?
are you depressed?
At what stage of recovery are you? Are you angry? Are you depressed? Are you yet desperately looking for the 'only true religion' to replace what you have lost? Are you past these stages and have found happiness and contentment again?
I think I would say I am in the 'getting on with life' phase. Much less angry. Much less depressed. I think the anger and depression only surface when I start thinking about the magnitude of the scam, how blind the world is to how dangerous the organization is and the 'spell' that my family is under. I no longer search desperately for something spiritual to replace the life long spirituality I had. Although I recognize that 'something' is missing in my life, I realize now that I can fill that space with anything I want, it doesnt have to be religion. So I would say I am starting to move past these stages and onto the next stage. I dont know if I would call it 'happiness and contentment', since I have never felt that I wouldnt know, but I would say life is more enjoyable, less stressful, more purposeful than it ever was before.
