my birthday is coming up in a month.
i'm 35 and i'm so depressed about turning 36. i've heard people really get down when they were turning 25, 30, and other ages but non of my birthday's bothered me this much until now.
turning 36 is so depressing and i think it's because here i am single again trying to now start my career, my credit, my whole life over.
none of them really depress me, but at birthday time I do dwell a little too much on time wasted.
fortunately, I'm not too old to still do something about it...
I may never be a scholar, but there's no time like the present to start accomplishing some of those dreams!!
just curious, how many of you have to hide the fact that you post here from family?
i'm especially thinking of those with spouses who are in, while they themselves either never were, faded, dfed/daed, etc but if you are a child hiding it from parents, that applies too.
if you are posting secretly, how secretive do you have to be?
openly- I've been out long enough to not have an JW friends or acquaintances, but although my 80 year old mother is online, I'd never tell her about this place. Wouldn't want her to have a heart attack, although I do believe that she only stays because my father is so dedicated.

anyone else heading to glastonbury festival this weekend?.
i'm in glasgow, between flights, at the moment.
i have a ticket for sunday, for what should be a reasonable line up.. should be fun .
I've heard a lot about it, researched it online and would love to attend, but it's a little far from here(Canada)... maybe one day-
Have a terrific time!! Let us know how it was...
my take on religions in general is that they all either give hope or some type of contentment for the person who takes their religion seriously.
if they're good, they go to heaven or to some better condition.
some religions are more radical than others and these types, i stay away from.. regarding those that are very religious, i'm generalizing here, but i think most of them are extremists in one way or another.
Religions? bad
Religious people? as long as they're not pushy, they're ok- the self-righteous ones can GTH.
i'm really intrigued by that fact that i may know some of you and yet not know that i know you.
i just want to know how many people from canada are here.
if you don't mind and don't care about posting your province (cause i'm too timid to) we could all get an idea of just how many canucks are really out there.
Hi Miss-
I'm in northern Alberta
i am not a witness but i would like to ask you a question.
is it common practice for jw's to will all of their "worldly" possessions to witness relatives only?
are they encouraged to do so by the borg?
I guess my parents must be the exception- I've been out a long time, but there's only me and one JW sister.
They've decided to split everything equally between us, despite the issues.
happy birthday hobo!!
enjoy your special day!
this doesn't have one single calorie...... juni .
my math makes as much sense as the WTBTS...

thanks so much everyone!!
and, yeah right, it doesn't have a SINGLE calorie, it has a million...
but since I didn't have my first birthday til I was 18, that must make me 31-
have a great weekend all!!

i guess i am too open.
many times i have been slammed and get furious with the results.
there are a few posters including some long time members and possible trolls that enrage me.
apparently too much so- I feel as alien here as I always have- maybe I've been 'out' too long to really connect with anybody...
i mean the people, not the religion.
in fact it moved me to make concession to a stalking jw, allowing them to be reinstated to the board this week.
i know they hate me nonetheless - but i still love them.
Only the individuals who deserve it...
