i was wondering how is 2011 going for you?
this year for me is noting starting off great.with everything from a leak roof and water problems to trying to keep my grades up for school.so tell how is your year turning out so far..
So far it's been pretty darn good. I published my first book!!! I'm am excited to wed CHG in the fall. My monthly online news paper needs a kick into high gear. I'm looking for stories if you have one. www.thecarrotonline.org is the site. The last issue should trigger something in most of you.
Starting to work out a bit more. Getting ready to hike and climb in Sedona AZ soon. My work is simple and not to much stress.
I'm happy!!

hello there everyone.
i remember reading a while back about someone on here ( i think) that wrote a letter to the body of elders & headoffice that they should not take any action to disfellowship them as they would be distancing them from friends and relatives and would proceed to take legal action if the body of elders went ahead.. if anyone has that link or can point me in the right direction i'd appreciate that..
mamalove,
They admitted to looking in your windows?!!!
The only way to see the detail they described to CHG's mom is if they were parked and looking. Yup, looks like they were peeking.
The letter sent named the elder who would be brought in for questioning. So all the local authorities now know who he is and what
he's involved with. The legal advice was to send a letter with the words "cease and desist" in it. It also describes what cival action will be taken if anything like it happens again. So far all's quiet on the Eastern front. (that window faces east)

just heard from a friend that a nearby body of elders in their congregation have decided that anybody who is on facebook will not be able to have privleges in their congregation.. hilarious!.

I wonder if it was a JW elder who tried to destroy the cottage industry.....zealous luddite
have a good cup-o-joe and watch the world go by

as i watch the watchtower fall.
nothing left to govern my body.
i fall into the winter.
Not a rap fan but that hit the nail on the head. Wow...I still have goose bumps just thinking about it.
You are a talent.
CSG
and i feel good!
it was a long time coming.
i stopped going to meetings june 09. the reason i left it so long is because my husband is still in and for this reason i see witnesses from time to time.
The feeling of opression is gone! You are free indeed. Congrats!!!!!!

soooo many thought obama was the savior and now scores of people are abandoning him and his policies.
the pendulum swings and you hear how we need a republican to bail us out of our mess.. do you really believe a single person or party can make the changes for the country or the world ?
?.
I'm running for a public office in our small town. The county is quite divided between the two major parties. I'm here to say
that there is no way any political party will bring change. To quote a singing comic named Wally Pleasant, "change comes from within."
It is truly the views and opinions expressed, endorsed or rejected by others that will make any slight change in our system. Vote for the
person, not the party.

this is a story that is very hard for me to tell.
as a matter of fact, this is really one of the only times i've told this story.
a few years back, i met a girl while at the local community college.
MrFreeze - It's been five years now since my daughter was violently murdered in her dorm room. I can't tell you how many times I've blamed myself for one thing or another believing I could have prevented it. It's taken so long to come to know nothing I could have done would have saved her. I live to honnor her and press on in a positive action on her behalf.
It truly was someones free will to choose to do it. It wasn't Gods will, my will or even hers. A young man without respect for life did it.
The pain you feel and re-live daily is very real. Process your loss every day until it becomes easier to wake up, eat breakfast and live like you're suppose to.
Please for goodness sake, continue to open your mind, your eyes and your heart to a life without the JW bondage. The freedom without is amazing and renewing.
Take all the time you need to process every one of your life losses. Do it right.

does anyone here have friends that were never one of jehovah's witnesses that knows about your activity on these types of internet sites and the stuff you communicate here?.
I am one of those people. CHG has guided me through her hell and it is scary how much I understand what you've been through.
I love CHG so much I will do all I can to protect and support her in her new life. Understanding her past is valuable. It is what has
defined her. We are working together to create a new and better life for both of us.
We are very happy and in love with each other. Our past and all that it carries.
This site has been so very helpful for both of us.

well since i cant grow a beard, dont have the patience for dread-locks, and do not want anything permanent like a tatoo yet..... i enjoyed the experience, never been in a tatoo parlor, this looks understated, not painful & everyone hates my new nose "glitter" which i find kinda funny.
i don't see it being a permanent thing with me, but i always wanted one, and you never know if you don't try..... just one more step in the independent direction of making my own choices-.
btw i also registered to vote last week!.
Hey folks, I just got back from a 17 day trip to South Africa.
Okay, I got back Tuesday night and neither one of us saw the light of day until this morning.
I like the nose pierce. It is very understated and cute on CHG.
