as usual, and should be expected, this forum is going to be a catch all for a variety of different opinions on religion., faith, god, and spirituality.
and of course, this can tick certain people off.
i have had help on the way to my journey.
The image of a "spiritual journey" is what resonates with me most deeply.
I like to think of it as a road - those ahead of me on the journey have left helpful clues and information, some of which will be helpful to me, some won't- because I'm travelling at a different time of year. The road is different for everyone because roads change all the time, there are issues, dangers and challenges unique to the time YOU are travelling.
I try to leave hints and clues behind for those who will travel behind me.
I don't think it matters where we are on that road- it only matters that we are on the road.
I'm so glad you are posting again, ATJ. Always a soft spot in my heart for you............
after a few beers and a bottle of french wine (2007 cote du rhone) i'm having myself some "ron zacapa centenario solera reserva".
but that's probably because i spent a lot of time in latin america.
i guess you gringos are more into whiskey?
Rum or Whiskey?
Yes, please!
i'm curious about how people filled the void after leaving the jws.
i'm at a point, a bit over a year after leaving, where i am finding i have confronted the reality of my life and situation... and it's depressing.
i realize i have holes in my life (a significant other, social activities, something higher/beyond myself) which many worldly people naturally have filled but it feels unnatural for me, almost synthetic and it makes me more depressed the more i think about it.
I didn't find that there was any kind of void.
I had a relationship, I had a job, I started volunteering with causes that I felt passionate about, made new freinds and VOILA!
Whole new wonderful life!
i can't believe i'm actually posting here.
i've been lurking for a while and i've been having doubts about this being the "truth" for years and sometimes feel really stuck and hopeless about my situation.
i'm married to an elder (who is 110% jw) and i was for the most part raised in the "truth".
and thank you for sharing your story!

yesterday reopened mind told me it has been a year on jwn.
i asked her how many times has she posted in this last year?
she said not as many times as you.
Just kidding!
Love that you are both here!

When I was working in construction, I took off early one day to get a pedicure.....the foreman said, "What for?? We got a belt sander right over here!"
Haha!
did anyone see the South Park episode about the Shakeweight?
PS - you should NOT sleep in undies.....let the girls breatheeeeeeeeeeee........
Not really a jeans girl......I wear alot of maxi-dresses in the summer.....short skirts with tights and boots in winter.
Not really a jammies girl, either............big t-shirt with no undies.......THAT'S the best way to sleep..........or hubby's football jersey.
i found this awesome quote from the book captives of a concept:.
beware of "organization.
it is wholly unnecessary.
jwfacts: That is a good example of why I LOVE this site. Thanks for posting that scan.
And Timothy: Thanks for the thread. Nicely done.
