I am not absolutely sure if he approves of what I am doing by posting here. I am sure that he doesn't want me to spend hours debating our beliefs with those who have already made up their minds to leave him and not believe he is the best ruler for individuals, for the earth and for the universe. But I try to live by the principle of James 4:17, even if my brothers and sisters don't always understand or agree with me. The Governing Body has also taught that organizational directives must be applied reasonably. They have also taught that Jesus once made an exception to Jehovah's direct command to him that he was only sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, when a higher principle, the principle of compassion, required it. So I think that the Governing Body might understand why I have written here what I have. I will be open to Jehovah's loving counsel if I have made a mistake in doing so.
It is interesting, you seem to want to be so loyal to your religion, so honest...yet, you take it upon yourself to assume that you are somehow an exception to the rules of the very religion you defend. I am not trying to throw daggers here, but it seems like you may be trying to prove something to yourself by being here? And that is great, maybe your beliefs will evolve as you mingle.
Some of what you wrote reminds me of my own father...and with a tone that says 'I am honest and true to the one and only true religion', but also with a voice that says 'help me, I know deep down I am gathering evidence that the religion is a big lie'...'give me time, in this quest for freedom'.

I miss my dad and I can't stop crying about it
by Velour inso recently, i've had this urge to write to my father.
i couldn't quite pinpoint why i would try when i know he wouldn't read it and we aren't even that close.. over the years, before i left, my father and i could not relate to each other and we quit trying.
he was always so busy writting and preparing for talks.

by Iamallcool inas we all know that las vegas is about gambling, but not everything is about gambling in las vegas, is there a way for the dubs to enjoy their vacation in las vegas without gambling?.

dubs? I don't know about dubs, but there are othere attractions in Vegas besides gambling. It really depends on what you are looking for. There are plenty of shows to see ~Cirque shows such as the Beatles Love... comedy, a few 'old vegas' theme shows and plenty of others ..adult and otherwise. Concerts galore. Plenty of clubs (if you are into that sort of thing). A few museums~wax museum, Titanic, Bodies exhibit(not as sexy as it sounds.. its about the human body and how amazing the anatomy is), some art, a shark exhibit..
There is an arts district that is very much alive on every First Friday with lots of freestyle artists~paintings, dance, drum circles...it's where freaks like myself like to go..
Ballet, indoor/out-door plays and concerts
There are spas to luxuriate, endless dining options, golf, shopping, Grand Canyon tours..
There are a few more quiet, not vegasy place to relax
One of my favorites is Red Rock Canyon for hiking, nature walks (not so much in the summer heat, though)~ some people bicycle, mountain climb. Desert beauty. I've seen some little funny go-cart looking things going by in groups (looks like rentals). Also Mount Charleston has plenty of hiking (great in summer). If you get the ski fever really bad, there is a resort Lee Canyon..right up with Mt Charleston.. in a pinch..

talesin! Now that's just not fair..you are such a sweety. Your feet should be treating you right, those stinkers!
I'm no doctor, but what skeeter said about the yoga (if you can) and cold therapy sounds good. Wonder if acupuncture might help.
Sorry you are feeling awful.

Could a Cult personality be someone's Authentic Personality
by cantleave inwe all know theory, that a cult personality masks the authentic.
but after reading some of the cult indoctrinated posters here , i am beginning to think that they are showing their authentic personalities.. they don't appear to show any true human emotion or demonstrate any independant thinking ability, ony what they are told feel and think by the cult.
is it possible that some people are born to be cult members in order to survive?.

...and if a person is mentally not well, then they are not truly being their authentic self. So, no, I don't believe cult personality is authentic for anyone.
