  How Wonderful

  by dearone in

  an elder in my hall gave an experience of why it is so vital that we do not speak to disfellowshipped ones.

  a sister who was disfellowshiped was of course not able to speak with her daughter or see her grandchildren.

  it was difficult for the family to 'adhere to bible principles' but in time the mother/grandmother missed her family so much she returned to the truth.

  It was explained to me recently that disfellowshipping is like time out for a naughty child (what great depth)

  Why would a woman want to look like that?

  i was leafing through a diet and exercisie magazine my wife subscribes to and noticed (not for the first time) that the female fitness models don't look like women at all.

  --they look like anorexic teenaged boys with long hair.. skinny to the point of emaciation is not fit.

  i would be willing to bet that not one of these models could even run a 10k.

  My youngest daughter (17) is 90 pounds at 5 foot 3. She runs 6 miles every morning - works her upper body - is a strict Vegan. I would love to see her weigh more, however she is full of energy and endophins. Feels and looks great. Sure some men will find her a bit boney, but as long as she is healthy - that is all I care about.

  What Do You Value in your Life Now that you Exited the Witnesses ?

  i was talking with a friend of mine on the board yesterday and the discussion gave me the idea for this thread !

  ( thanks friend !

  ) and it seems as we were talking the thought came up that many of us when exiting the mind control of jehovah's witnesses we really come to appreciate the freedom to think how we want and be able to have access to other views which helps us to have a broader scope , or broader world view than just the tunnel vision of the wt society.

  Too many things to mention...However a big one to me is being able to buy dresses that do not come down to the middle of my calves.

  "Never let school get in the way of a good education, nor marriage in the way of a good relationship."

  Mark Twain would have loved that ......

  Think about it: Not sure what I want him to commit to. I may be feeling a little desperate because my oldest daughter is leaving for Spain next month for her college sophomore year and my youngest is heading out of state to attend SCU. It will be the first time I am all alone (ever)

  Great, so what I am hearing is it may take him another 50 years to decide

  My dilemma…I have enjoyed a very fun and active dating life these last four years of freedom. Most dates end by me moving on (always another fish out there). Last fall I started dating someone I really like (as in I would like a commitment). However, he turns 50 in May (I am 44) and he has never been married, never had kids and has never even lived with anyone (absolutely not gay). He is the happiest person I have ever met. He comes over to my house every night to play Jeopardy; we usually spend weekends together at TGIF playing trivia. He comes with me to anything important pertaining to my girls. He claims he has never felt this way about any other woman before, but just cannot commit to anything other than having me as his best friend. I am crazy about him. My question is…. Has he just been alone too long to ever commit?????

  "We were humiliating you and thus, taking away your dignity"

  (beautifully worded)

  I refused to show up at my J.C. I even refused to sign the certified letter they sent me after my no-show. Three dirty old men getting a hard on was not the way I intended to exit.

  Drink hot whiskey and stay put on the sofa watching good movies. You will be better in no time!
