  i'm outside in the 90 heat doing landscaping with my neighbor/ friend.

  two women in dresses, nylons, and heels walked carefully across the newly tilled dirt to get to us and start their presentation.. woman 1: we are talking with your neighbors about the increase in crime lately.

  do you worry about your safety?.

  I made it!! I'm just so freaking happy!!!

  as some of you know, i started college 5 years ago for the first time at age 27. i had been out of the "truth" for 9 years at that time, but had just broken free of the mentality.

  well, on saturday i walked across the stage with the 130th graduating class at rocky mountain college!.

  after 5 years of working several jobs, taking care of two little boys as a single mom, and trying to get the most out of my college experience, i earned my master of accountancy, bachelor of science in business management, and minors in writing and organizational leadership.

  there have been several education topics this week.

  it seems we have quite a few people on here who are going to school as non-traditional students.

  The JWs are imperfect, so what?

  by Rocky_Girl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a common reply to any evidence given about false doctrines taught by the witnesses.. we all know that every religion has its faults and scandals.

  so why do we tolerate these imperfections in those faiths and not in the witnesses?.

  my answer: because other faiths admit that they are basing their doctrines on faith alone or tradition.

  How can I get past the anger?

  by Rocky_Girl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have gotten through so much of the anger i felt toward my parents for their part in my screwed up childhood.

  i know they were just doing what they thought was right.

  but now, as i celebrate holy and special days with my children i feel a new anger because i cannot give them the big family celebration they deserve.

  matthew 7:18-20 says:.

  "a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

  every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

  galatians 5:22on the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,23mildness, self-control.

  against such things there is no law.

  Does anyone here celebrate holidays? Why?

  by Rocky_Girl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i didn't originally celebrate anything, but when my oldest son started school i decided that it was unfair to put him through what i went through in school.

  i have to admit that i am loving the holidays, even though some of that old mindset tries to make me feel guilty.

  we focus on what the holidays mean to us as a family and enjoying time together.

  Birthdays and my six year old

  by Rocky_Girl in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am divorced from a jw and we have two children.

  i have been out for 10 years but we both were raised 'in.

  ' we share custody so the little ones are a little confused as to why mommy gives them a b-day party, has a christmas tree and takes them to an hour of church mostly spent singing but daddy just drags them to 5 hours of lecture a week and won't let them be friends with the neighbor kids.. sunday night, after a week with his father, my six year old told me that he can't celebrate his b-day because a guy got his head cut off in the bible at a b-day party.
