well, a few of you are aware of my situation.
for those that are not, basically i more or less admitted to my wife that i no longer believe (after being raised a dub, bethel 'service' etc) and that led to altercations with her and the elders.
i had a friend in the congreation who, after also being raised a jw, had done none of the things i had, even not been baptised (thats right, not in 30+ years!!!
actually, if he is happy, he had made the right choice. although in my experience most witnesses choose to be witnesses for reasons other than it makes them happy.
one should make life choices that make one happy as long as they don't contribute to the unhappiness of others.
see, life is simple.

oh my god it was so horrible....was the worst pain i have ever been in.
it was a 3 hour labor contraction....i couldn't even walk.
i was crawling into the emergency room.
I've had 8. Mine usually pass within 24 hours but I had one that lasted 3 weeks.
Hopefully Brooke, yours will be quick. Drink a lot of water or apple juice. Most advice I would give has been covered by others.
I personally don't ever take the pain meds they give me to take home because they don't really kill the pain for me and just make me sick. If my pain gets bad I head back to the emergency room to get knocked out again.

jehovah's witness shoots wife
a bible-thumping bronx man gunned down his estranged wife and then killed himself after accusing her of straying from their faith and sleeping with another man, police and neighbors said yesterday.
JW's are humans like everyone else, it just makes them feel better to say they are special.
in just a few weeks, this year will end and a new one begins.
nothing special, just 2006.. but when you analyse the jw doctrine, it is another nail in their already 91 nail studded coffin.
the watchtower has for decades taught that jesus' presence and rulership began in 1914. since changing the generation of 1914 doctrine, a whole decade has passed, with little in the way of anything new.
the society won't be much different than it is today. it will have grown some. it will continue to attract a certain small segment of society. i agree most of the kids will leave.
ok, if somebody has commented on this article before, well i guess i missed it.
this really got my goat though .
it really plumbs the depths of sadistic, heartless, thinking .
the incorrigibly wicked like all those churches in Louisiana that opened up to hurricane victims.
they are just stupid. god judges you not by how your heart moves you to behave but whether you are in the right group? preposterous
just checking up on richie, seeing if anything has happened.
been away from the board for a while.
cool, less than 6 months til i can start flirting heavily with you.
looks like lots of people are "coming out" right now.... http://www.cnn.com/2005/showbiz/tv/10/28/people.georgetakei.ap/index.htmlgeorge takei, 'trek's' sulu: i'm gay.
los angeles, california (ap) -- george takei, who as "star trek's" sulu was part of the starship enterprise crew through three television seasons and six movies, has come out as a homosexual in the current issue of frontiers, a biweekly los angeles magazine covering the gay and lesbian community.. takei told the associated press on thursday that his new onstage role as psychologist martin dysart in "equus," helped inspire him to publicly discuss his sexuality.. takei described the character as a "very contained but turbulently frustrated man.
" the play opened wednesday at the david henry hwang theater in los angeles, the same day that frontiers magazine featured a story on takei's coming out.. the current social and political climate also motivated takei's disclosure, he said.. "the world has changed from when i was a young teen feeling ashamed for being gay," he said.
i think its funny that this is still news. but I'm proud for George and happy for the positive influence this will have for thousands of young gay sci fi fans.
the 5 senses are incredible along with the sixth sense, our intellect/aesthetic appreciation.. i can't get over how much there is to experience.
it is mind boggling.. the feel of clay being molded into a bowl.
the taste of a new food or an old favorite.

they only materialize into men, never women, cause they likes that woman stuff ew boy.. how did they have any clue what woman stuff felt like hew boy.
isnt the sensation of being a spirit creature better than anything on earth.. if not, ain't the 144,000 really gonna miss sex (not from the ones i've seen).
angels don't have to prove their loyalty to god to get everlasting life.. their are millions of angels, why did god need humans to worship him.. why are human's accompanied by animals in creation.. in the spirit world their are no lower creature.. how could jacob have wrestled an angel if it had no physical aspects.
