Absolutely!
I hated that women couldn't "teach" or "lead". It never sat right with me

Life sucks
by joannadandy inall right- all those out there who own pets, or have owned pets will hopefully see my point of view and understand.

Preston don't be sad!!
Omie, I don't know why but thank you. Normally I wouldn't have been so open to hearing that someone was going to pray for me, but it felt good to hear you say it, so thank you. Gobie! What a cool name!
Larc-I still have a cat at home. I think for the time I am going to hold off on another pet. Tho probably someday I will get another.
Mac-you are commended for your adopting of pets from the brink. I always think that is so sweet and large hearted...

WHAT MAKES YOU THE ANGRIEST?
by minimus inat times we all get angry.
sometimes our anger is inappropriate, as when a parent loses control and beats their child.
there are situations that may rightfully get us angry.

I'm going to a birthday party!
by glitter inmy mum's best friend's daughter's 18th in november, and i'm definitely going and my sister probably is (she's out at the moment)!
she didn't have a birthday party until this one because with me and my little sis being jw it meant two less people to go (we're more family than friends) so she missed out on birthday parties too and she wasn't even jw!.
i just need to think of the perfect present to make up for all those years.. it official that i'm not a jw now if i go and it's a bit scary because 100% not wanting to be a jw has happened so suddenly (after finding everything out about the scandals, i was about 90% out before) - i didn't celebrate my birthday in june and i didn't celebrate my friend's birthday the week after and now i can't wait for christmas and for june to roll around again.. i'm so excited!!

I love posts like this!
Thanks for sharing Glitter, you are going to have a ball! And don't worry I am sure you will come up with a great present, and no matter what it will mean a lot to your friend because it is from you, and the signifcance of it is obvious and very touching!
Have fun!

I dont think I can take it anymore
by mamashel ini have only posted a few times so far, and i dont want to sound like a constant complainer or whiner, but i really need someone to talk to and some feed back.
we used to go to the elders with problems, and i have turned and leaned on you all now.
first i would like to thank you all for your kind and caring feedback.. my daughter has broken my heart.

What a hard position for you to be in...
And please remember, maybe not in her eyes, she is still really a child.
Her behavior and attitudes show she is still very much a child. And although it breaks your heart you may just have to let her go on this one. She sounds very headstrong and confident of her ablities to be a parent, maybe she needs a crack at it. If she succeeds you can be proud. If she doesn't, I have feeling you and your husband will both be forgiving enough to help her. In any case she will learn her lesson, which is: parenthood is hard work. I really think you have done all you can. This is her time now to sink or swim. I honestly think with time she will regret what she did to you, and that you were justified in expecting her to follow your rules. She might even begin to understand she's not nearly as mature as she thought....
Hang in there!

Rob- so sorry for you loss!
It hurts so much when we lose someone close to us...especially someone who plays such a
large role in shaping who are as a person. You were very lucky to have each other,
and you will always know when you look in a mirror she had a large part in helping
you to become the beautiful and intelligent person that you are today!
My thoughts are with you...
