well, i've posted a few topics already and responded to a few.
and spoke with some of you.
well i just wanted to give you a little background on me.
Welcome Freddy.
I love this "I was a catholic(in this case JW) until I reached the age of reason." LOL, very good point. We all reach that "age of reason" at different times in our life.
Also welcome a wee scot lass.

i have just come from my parents house.
my dad just informed me that he and my mother cannot attend my wedding.
(i was married before, have "faded away" and am getting re-married).
Welcome to the board, Trailblazer.
Hold your head high and live a good life. That will puzzle those who want to shun you. If you look like they expect you to look, down trodden, weeping and nashing your teeth, they will rejoice.
Make new friends and don't anguish over the hurt being imposed on you. Easier said than done, but it is what needs to be done for your mental health.
Welcome again.

here is a review of the play "the good faith" and an opportunity to purchase the video.
i highly recommend it.
?new york theatre wire?.
Brummie,
poor Richard was suppose to come to the opening night of the play but his health wouldn't even let him fly. Give him a ring if you feel so incline, I'm sure he'd love to hear from you.

yesterday, my wife and i met a poster from this board in new york and had a wonderful conversation!
i won't reveal who he is unless i get his ok but i will say that it was the first time that i've met anyone from this board that i had not known from the past.
(a friend of mine,ho chi min, posts here and i've known him for a number of years).
Well, not to brag or anything (Valis will be jealous, I know) but after meeting about 200 people (ok, I gave up counting!) from this board and maintaining some wonderful friendships from it, all I can say is if you get the chance to meet others that you "connect" with from here, do so. It is well worth the time and energy.
There is something about shared experiences even though you never met. Hmmmmmm, very interesting.

someone said something recently that reminded me of a post i made just after discovering this board and the 'truth' about the jw's.
in fact, it was two years ago this weekend that i posted this http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/21607/1.ashx .
the thread sparked some very interesting conversations, at least in my opinion and it also was the day reality really hit me hard.
love your avitar of you and your son! looking goooooood.
on friday smurfy went in for surgury and it went ok. when i got her home my dad called and was telling me that he was going to have the date of his back surgury changed.
when he got done talking about his surgury i told him about smurfy having surgury that day.
the bastard never even asked what she had done or how she was doing or if they could help out with anything.
(((((freelife))))) and ((((smurfy))))
be good to each other. Sorry the parental units are in a high control group and will not perform like you want or how you treat them.
If you need to, distance yourself from them and take care of yourselves.
Hugs,
Joy

WOW (((Flower)))
has it been 2 years?
I remember when I first came, about the same time as you, and people were saying "give yourself time, about 2 years to get over the JW mindset". All I can say is yes, they were right. LOL
Life goes on and what an intersting journey our lives how have.
Good to see ya again.
