i don't know how to put a youtube video on, but at about the 55-59 second mark of this, you can see.... the back of my head.

studying with my ex in the gilead library.. somehow, i am glad my face didn't make it, although it is bittersweet to see a few people.. thanks to a@g for making this monday a trek down memory lane.... .

Hahaha!

Being a vegetarian, I'm not exactly a banana virgin, but WOW! Those are big.

It's just that they're the biggest ones I've ever seen.

Sorry.

cause i have some really cool old jw friends and it is a weekend riding camping trip in the great smokey mountains...........and that should be fun right?............ya.........except......

these cool old friends were going to let my dfd son ride with us and camp and all........but then some of their dub family wanted to come, and some other dubs who dont even know my son........and even though he was great friends with some of these guys kids... who wanted to come just to camp...........well..........they would not come if my son comes............ you can not beleive how sad this makes me....it hurts....i dont even want to go now but i do understand these nuts and i do like my old friends......my dfd son even said to still go because he understands why his lifelong best friend (just reinstated!!!!

) will not go if he goes......he seems way cooler about it than me.................... this kind of painful conflict is going to kill me early......i wish me and my son could move far far far far far away....oompa.

Oompa,

When my son left the JW's NO ONE SAID A THING....it was so weird. I'm sure the tongues were wagging like crazy behind my back, but not one word from anybody. I was soooo hurt at the time. It was like they all acted like the boy had just never existed. Even ones I considered to be close friends, never asked how he was, what he was doing, why he left......He just ceased to exist for all of them.

I know it hurts. Sorry, hunny......

An Open Letter From Jeff

but i don't write this for sympathy.

actually, i just thought you all would like to hear how i am doing, esp with a little space now between me and the borg.

(its been 3 years).

I nearly cried (Sorry, I'm a weeper) when I read about the fear of being homeless. I thought it was just me!! When I first left, I had a couple of panic attacks, realizing all I had to show for my life was in the back of my truck......

I gradually realized that the fear of being homeless, stemmed from something else - Where the heck do I belong?

I don't belong with the JW"s. And I don't feel I belong "in the world" yet, either. I'm not real sure I belong here. I'm working on the sense of belonging somewhere.

But I'm confident it will happen! One day, I will wake up and say, "Oh, I'm where I'm supposed to be!!"

I'm confident you will, too. You're too smart for it to be any other way.

Here's to us!!

*clink clink*

(OMG, that was my first toast!!!!)

this email came from my sister.

i copied and pasted as is.

i'd like to reply with a comment to my sis, but maybe better keep quiet.... .

Well, the three man delegation must have been briefed on proper dress code for visiting Bethels, or else they would have gotten there and been turned away......
