  Ahhhhhhhhh my sweetie Brookie...cry if you need. It's kind of therapeutic (spelling?). Lot's of times when I'm taking a shower or just before bedtime when pain is shooting up and down my legs because of my knees...I just let the tears flow. I feel better...well, alittle afterwards. (Though it's hell on your eyes the next morning).

  You're beautiful, you have a wonderful husband (I may be a bit prejudiced here), two gorgeous and brilliant children. You have a home that you are making your own and a future without the pressures of being a JW...you get to raise your kids JW FREE!! It's may not seem like much...but I hope that these thoughts somehow brighten your day.

  I love you dearly.

  Sassy...you are certainly NOT invisible to me. Neither is my little Brookie or anyone else here. Many times I am tired or depressed myself, but it doesn't mean I don't read your threads or many others. I read but just don't have the energy to post a lot. I go in spurts. (Probably why I'm just a Jedi after being on this forum since 2001)!

  I was just telling my husband the other day that I felt that this forum, with people like you Sassy, really saved my life when I came out of the JW's and was shunned by my family and friends (the few I had). I had thought of suicide a few times...but knowing that there were others on this forum who shared my experiences and also were able to overcome their depression...gave me what I needed to keep on a going.

  So though you may at times feel invisible because perhaps many of us do not post on one of your threads...you really aren't. Because people read your's (or other's) posts and it makes them think and many times feel better because you are on this forum.

  Big hug...cathy l.

  This person should take some time to browse through this forum and maybe she wouldn't feel so lovey-dovey about the JW's. Let her know how many lives they have destroyed, how many children they have let be molested, how many people they have let die because of the blood issue or other crazy teachings, how many have committed suicide because of the heavy burden of guilt they lay on their "sheep" or the horrors of being shunned by family and friends.

  I don't think she'd answer the door again. Or, if she did, maybe she'd have some very good questions to ask those "two middle-aged women conservatively dressed in blazers, blouses with collars closed at the neckline, loose skirts falling below their knees, sensible shoes and neatly coiffed hair".

  Probably that I felt a lot of it was crap, but since all my friends and relatives were "in"...I had no choice but to stay. Life was like being on that treadmill of meetings, service, study, etc. To enjoy yourself would make you guilty of not being "theocratic" enough it seemed to me.

  How do you spell Jehovah's Witness? GUILT.

  I want my husband to go back to work. He has been off two weeks now from a scope of his knee. Hello? I've had 3 scopes and a knee replacement and if I remember correctly (which is iffy because of my diminishing brain cell function), I was doing laundry, cleaning and cooking within a few days. On crutches. By myself.

  He needs to go back to work so I can have some damn peace and quiet.

  I really, really love the guy. But how many times can a person watch "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" and "Once Upon A TIme in the West"??

  Okay...I feel better now Mr. Rat. Thanks.

  I think I'm a pretty good gardener.

  As for whyamihere...she is EXTREMELY talented at arranging flowers, with no formal training. She's done some weddings and the results were gorgeous. AND...she can really get her whole fist in her mouth. I can't figure that one out because everyone knows she has a small mouth!!

  If You Could Have A Special Gift ----What Would It Be?

  "special gift" could be either being given a present that was extremely "special" to you by another or wanting a "gift" that you might not possess at this time like discernment, singing, etc.

  The ability to read music in order to learn and be very, VERY good at the piano. No wait...I would like a good, no beautiful singing voice...no, I would like to be more patient...no wait, I'd like to be able to make up my mind. YUP...that's it.
