dear friends,.
one of my greatest enjoyments is a daily walk.
i see things in far greater detail than when i am driving by.
I really admire the word pictures (and actual photos) on this thread.
My son; when he was in high school complained about how wordy some required reading was; I explained that for many people in the 1800's travel was only available through books. So detailed descriptions of some areas was the only chance they would have to see those locations.
I have loved walking with you all.
i lost my avatar (the ballerina) and now i have a completely new one, not the original green one that i had when i joined up.
.
I hope you find your ballerina, if you click your name it will take you to a page where you can change it back to something prettier than your raisin avatar. Maybe you will be able to find her again.
it has been 18 years since i decided to leave and fade away, and at that time i was feeling a lot of pressure that i wasn't doing enough, didn't fit in with the folks in my congregation, and was unhappy in my young jw marriage.
needless to say i recklessly went and had an affair that left me pregnant.
i did not know what to do, i panicked and got major anxiety.
Teenagers are going through a lot, they are trying to separate from their parents and sometimes a family splitting up makes it even harder for them, they feel like they must take sides. Let her know you still love her and if she needs to talk you are there for her. Remember her birthday and hang in there.

Welcome, you are so smart to have taken advantage of technology... Many have traveled the same road. Out but still a believer. If you need direction or spiritual counseling don't go back to the Kingdom hall!
We are here with 15 years of wisdom. The search function is really good. We have believers and atheists and some of us are blunt but tell it as they see it. If you have insurance, counseling can really help. This site is addictive and I visit every day. Take care.
yes take a look at the moon after 1930h 14th nov. it is the closest the moon is to earth in many years.
wont be this close for many years more.. use any telescope or binoculars.. wowee..
Last night we were driving and saw the moon, it was huge compared to the full moon last month. It wont disappoint. It will be out all night largest at 6:30 in the morning (Monday) here in the Midwest.
the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.. "they shall not grow old as we who are left grow old.
age shall not weary them or the years condemn.. at the going down of the sun and in the morning we shall remember them..".
Do they still sell poppies here in the states? My dad used to wear one when I was small.
i'm sorry--i'm getting this very sensitive vibe that the org (mainly those at the top) don't have any respect--forget about love--for sisters of color.
i'm coming to this conclusion from a couple of videos on jw broadcasting about single sisters.. after watching this video: .

Rant away, you are preaching the truth. When I was a teenager I knew that I would never marry a witness. The attitude you speak about is straight from the old testament. While I am not a 'person of color' I agree completely.
hello all.... i am new here so i figured i'd make a quick post introducing myself and giving a brief intro as to who i am and what i'm here for... as well as to hopefully meet others.. so, i made a profile and in it i gave a pretty detailed explanation as to my intent here and exactly why i decided to participate in the boards.
in case you don't read it, i'll give a brief summary.
the name is robert.
Oh, we have a good search engine at the top of the page, and 15 years of forums. Have at it!

There are a few current members here, but for the most part we are ex-JWs, some hurt by the religion; others with family in (like me). I am sure there will be a few to show up. We have quite a few atheists and agnostics here too.
Welcome.
song 113 - "we are jehovah's witnesses".
i've seen pics of sharon stone.
celebreties i'd love to bone.
I remember this too, and I left in 1970!
