Thank You for this thread, Mr Flipper...
YES! I need to vent BIG TIME!
But it would get me banned for life on this forum.
In any case, only typing those few words made me feel better.
And...life goes on*

so my dear friends, how are you all doing ?
it's well known that the holidays seem to bring out more than the usual stress in people.
we see various manifestations of it even in the news.

after finding this forum and being raised in the jw religion, i found jwd a refreshing place for honest feelings, fears, life experiences etc.. the history of the jw's was exposed, and those who lived any experience under this regime has been told by many members.. to be lied to by any forum member is insulting.
i have over my past year and 1/2 come to love many posters.
i realize many more have much longer time put in here.. i have been honest and exposed more of my self than i care to think about, but always kept in mind that others were doing the same and it was best for anyone new.. to lie on this forum to all of these members is horrible and i am questioning why i am so honest here.
To lie on this forum to all of these members is horrible and I am questioning why I am so honest here.
Unfortunately, this is the internet. For some, it is only too easy and tempting to lie while cowardly hiding behind an avatar.
But if only one thing...please, never question your own honesty.
Remain your honest self. Remain YOU.

i guess i won't.
i can't imagine .
it would be allowed anyway.
Your words convey such an uneasy feeling.
Living in fear is no way to live:-(
Please, take good care of yourself.
(((OTWO)))

my partner introduced me to a new man and since i met him i have slept with him every night.
hes very jealous and posessive and doesnt really like me to be out of his sight.
he has had me hard at it all night long and hes definately a boob man.. my partner has been relegated to changing his nappy and the odd cuddle when hes asleep.. here are some photos:.
Congratulations!
He is beautiful! What's his name?
Enjoy:-)

P.S. also my 4th attempt at posting:-(
dear friends,.
i love reading and learning new things.
the sanctioned wtb&ts mode of reading and application - "making the truth your own" - is contrary to the gathering of correct information and deciding for myself how to use it: to better myself and to assist my fellow man.
There are subjects on which I can speak, but will I ever be able to understand and comment upon the "deeper things of JWD"?
Personally, I cannot comment on heavy doctrinal subjects. But some days, a simple "happy birthday" to a poster makes me happy:-)
Understanding and commenting upon the "deeper things of JWD" seem irrelevant.
Posting from your heart is what really matters.
And that, dear CoCo, you have developed into a fine art.
*summer*
when these matters are mentioned we should be able to speak the truth with frankness.
we should all want to have the truth before us in order that we might avoid the great enemy who is against all of us, and who is seeking to turn the whole human race against god.
the apostle paul had the right idea when he wrote under inspiration: 'let the truth be told even though it make all men liars.'".
Whom can YOU believe?
Unfortunately, truth is a very rare commodity these days:-(
I am one who gives the benefit of the doubt.
But lie to me once, and the unconditional trust is gone.
I easily forgive...but never quite forget.
I am not saying it is the right way...but it is my way.
*summer*
i am sort of shocked and wonder if i pulled this same kind of sh*t as a witness.
i already know jw's believe they are better than everyone else, what with being god's only chosen people and all that.. well, i am sitting at my table, minding my own business.
there is a group of six jw's at the next table, three adults, three kids.
JWs or not, this is terribly rude.
Not to mention bad example for the children...teaching them to judge and denigrate people.
*summer*
do you think that the jw's in your congregation care if you're living your life to the fullest or if you're happy?.
.
I suppose JWs are like any other groups of individuals.
Some do care for one another.
And some don't.
rev 14: 3 and they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 these are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.
these are they which follow the lamb whithersoever he goeth.
Thank You for you input, Leolaia...
In my mind, everything is worth considering.
I guess this is what could be called an "open mind" :-)
*summer*
i wish i knew who thinks these things up.
this is the latest thought provoking email flying around with the "friends.
" sorry if it "pushes" some buttons.. .
I understand and respect your viewpoint.
Personally, I enjoyed the text you sent.
And I can only speak for myself.
