i will write my story soon... .
There's a thread that's been started on FB's exjw recovery group. It offers the premise that a bunch of us df'd ones show up at the meeting when the announcement is to be made. We all applaud and then we all leave together. If that's not support, I don't know what is.
That said, it'd be nice to be there for you, if you're planning on being there for the announcment.

here's a few from me.. no more having to go to stupid boring meetings.. no more having to go knock on doors in field service and waste my time!.
no more mind numbing elders meetings..
I am less judgmental, especially of myself.

it always made me think when i corinthians 11 was read at the memorial, when jesus said "as often as you keep doing this..." i would think"hmmm, once a year isn't really very often, the other churches are a lot more often than us.".
great to see that they fixed that to "keep doing this.
" wouldn't want any doubts, now, would we?.
It just occurred to me that this the sort of nit piking, tweaking that attorneys do. Also, I've written a few policy and procedure manuals for HR and we tend to go through the language in the same way.

this is a very lonely time of year for me i admit it.
i'm suppose to be going over my aunties house wednesday after work.
but going to christmas/holiday parties and get togethers, i still kinda feel out of place.. i really wish i grew up celebrating the holidays more.
Try to make this holiday season about who you are right now, not what you were in the past.

just wondering on whether jwn gets more newbies that the wts gets bapstisms?
are there any statistics?.
this site's newbies usually lurk for a month or two, with no interaction with us.
You're right cantleave. The nice thing is that most folks are on Facebook and there's a ton of ex's on there with links, and blogs and websites. Oh my.
