  No way. I'm done. I think I've learned my lesson here.

  Of course I didn't expect many of you to advocate it, quite

  the contrary. I'm not naive at all. I just didn't expect some

  of you to judge me like you have. That's all. I thought this was

  a place where I could be open and express my thoughts freely;

  and while I do expect some harsh feedback, as the subject is controversial,

  I guess I just expected some of you to be a bit more sympathetic. NONE of

  you have walked in my shoes. It's not like I'm doing it or have decided to do it.

  I'm not jumping into something without thinking about all the consequences.

  I just have no one to talk to.

  Syl,

  You're the nicest poster on this board. Thank you for not attacking me.

  I guess I thought that this board would be less like being in a JW congregation

  than I thought. I've had enough years of being judged. No one knows my personal

  circumstances. Yes, bankruptcy has crossed my mind a few times but it would ruin

  my credit and perhaps my chances of future employment, since they do check.

  Part of the problem is that I assist my siblings financially quite a bit. My brother's always

  in danger of losing his apartment (and has two children -- their mother died three years ago) and

  my younger sister can't find work even though she has a degree and is sleeping on someone's

  couch while waiting tables. For years I helped my sister in Florida with her bills while she was in

  nursing school. I guess I just didn't think too much about putting aside more money for leaner times.

  I had a huge pay cut recently as well.

  I am going to try and hang on and get through this with drastic options like bankruptcy.

  I hope in future that some of these posters get kinder feedback than I have when they

  need someone to talk to.

  Plus...I was only asking for feedback. I haven't made

  any decision yet. I just thought I could get some opinions

  here without being personally attacked. (By some. Some of

  you have been quite understanding.) I am at a crossroads in

  my life right now and have had some really devestating personal

  crises and am in danger of losing my home.

  Stripper..uh, no. Too old. I was however eons ago a Hooter's

  girl. I don't consider that much different.

  You lot can be harsh. I am not a whore nor do I intend to become a

  prostitute. I have actually known this man for quite a while and am really

  fond of him as well. We've been friends for ages and see each other in town quite a

  bit....but I am out of this conversation right now. thanks for your input though.

  I hope some of you are as perfect as you profess....

  Peace....

  Thanks for being so open minded....you all make a point. It's just that I was considering

  an "arrangement." I'd get some financial help with my schooling, etc. (I work full time and have a

  part time job so I'm no gold digga). He'd get what he wants. I keep going back and forth on this one.

  Just wanted your feedback. I haven't made my mind up. (Not until I see his yacht anyway. :)

  Being A Borg Kid

  by Pig in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i never became a zelouse witness, but i do remember being a borg kid.

  there was no one my age at the meetings for most of my childhood.

  except at one stage there was this half in half out family who had a fat annoying kid who never stopped boasting.

  My sentiments exactly, except I didn't have to wear suits. I just kept wearing shorter skirts. Scandal!

  I remember counting the days until I could turn 18 and leave. That is no way to experience

  a childhood. There were other kids in the congo but I never really had much interest. I think

  I was considered sort of a "bad association." That at least gave me something to smile about.

  It's unnatural and cruel for anyone to put their children throught the JW regime. I think a combination

  of inferior brain, quick wit, and a fierce determination to escape saved me. I wish I could save all

  the kids stuck in the borg now.

  Okay, men...need your opinion here, please...

  as i troll through the minefield of cadishness in the dreary dating world i am endeavouring to somewhat understand.

  the words that spill out of a man's mouth -- the real meaning versus the words.. .

  words: i like you and i like your friendship.

  Yes, that's me.

  P Sacramento is right.....I lost a tonne of weight about 15 years ago through Weight

  Watchers and was actually a Weight Watchers team leader for a while. So if you

  need any advice or help, let me know. I'm also an aerobics instructor.

  It's good that you're under a doctor's care. Can I ask how much you intend to lose

  to get to your goal? Have your husband take your measurements now and put

  them away in a drawer. Later, you can revisit them to see how many inches you've

  shrunk.

  Another tip...DON'T weigh yourself every day. A lot of people (especially women)

  fall into this trap and it can be very frustrating. Pick one time a week to weigh.

  Good luck!! Keep me posted.
