LOL: bigdreux, did you get that reasoning from the Live Forever book?
Not that it matters either way, I'm agnostic and religious symbols mean nothing to me.

Rollerdave returns to the KH!
by RollerDave inwell folks, it had to happen, i returned to the kingdom hall.. or at least to its parking lot.. but not to worry my little jwd'ers, my return was in true rollerstyle!.
i had dropped off my mom a few days previous when she made some remarks that steamed me, i had felt she was talking through her teeth, but i now know i could only have been half right.. she calls and rambles a while, then directs me to keep her teeth safe.
after i got the explanation for this cryptic remark from her i go and investigate..... there, on my bathroom counter, next to the tushie-cleanliness paraphernalia, is an unexplained white plastic container which contained my mother's lower plate.. smelled 'minty.'.

LOL! I'm glad you had a footstool for your mom. She must be tall, mine would have needed a step ladder.

Miss NJ Photos
by chappy injust saw the photos of miss nj, the ones that some prick was trying to blackmail her with.
to me they're completely innocuous, much ado 'bout nothin.
i can't believe that the pagent committee would even consider taking the crown from her.

I thought they were no big deal. She is an adult and can do as she pleases.
Disfellowshipping offense? If those guys grabbing/bitting her boob were not doing a medical exam she would be in big trouble...

I can hardly contain myself! :-)
by R.F. insince my mental departure from the organization, i'm still trying to wrap my mind around the entire concept of freedom.
now that i don't have so many restraints as a result of being in the org, such as mental, and time restraints, i can't help but be happy!
there is so much that i want to accomplish in life now and i know that now it's possible.

Are You Plagued By Guilt, Still?
by minimus inhave you overcome the feeling that you're not quite good enough?
do you feel better about yourself now that you've stopped associating with witnesses?.

Guilt is a way of life for a JW. The whole religion is based on the thought that you have to do more, more, more.
I remember an assembly part years ago where they actually said that if you were comfortable with your life and level of service you were not doing enough. If you put in 20, 50, 70 hours a month without much effort, you were not doing enough. So, what I learned from that was that comfortable was not good. If I was not stressed out to the point of madness all the time, I was not doing enough. That is no way to live.
Old habits die hard, but I'm making headway. I know now that "comfort" is a good thing, the goal we all must try to reach. Guilt is destructive and achives nothing good.

Do you know how strong you all are?
by jgnat ini'm thinking this morning at the enormous effort required to leave the witnesses.
that you all found your way here is amazing.
you are a select group of strong people, who will not allow life or any organization to knock you down.
