  i mostly post fluff and music posts on this thread more often now but just thought i would let some people here who still know me about what has been goin on with me recently.

  my dad about a 7 month battle with lung cancer which metastasized to the bones and he died early wed morning.

  my dad was a fascinating man, complex, sometimes open and sometimes a very aloof and detached person.

  my co-worker is a vegan and jw constantly talks about how healthy she is...blah, blah, blah....all day long and she's getting on my last nerve.

  she's always posting how meat is murder on facebook and how all meat eaters are sooo uneducated.

  funny since she dropped out of home schooling and never recieved her ged.

  Sorry Watersprout i was just poking fun and not hassling my fine fellow vegetable eaters.

  I found your comments hilarious! I knew you were poking fun. I do have a sense of humour, quite a dark one at times. Lol

  Notice how the Europeans freaked out over E. Coli in cucumbers?

  When was that??

  A DOUBLE LIFE - What's the worst case you've seen

  lots of jw's lead a double life.

  many are young people that simply go through the motions until they can free themselves .

  others have relatives or family still trapped .

  I now have a gay boyfriend! Disfellowship me!

  by TimothyT in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i cant believe how amazing i now feel as opposed to how aweful my life was but 4 months ago.. after some careful consideration, i decided to be gay despite being a jw.. the moment i chose this course, my life became so positive and i noticeably felt happy again.. 3 months ago i met a lovely man who took an interest in me.

  one week ago we decided it was time to become boyfriends.. well, i feel incredible.

  all i can say is that this course of life based on my being true to myself, despite the fact that it contradicts what i have been brought up to believe, has made life worth living again.. despite being gay, and slowly coming out to those who matter to me, i also have come to realise how flawed this organisation is anyway.. im a keen bible student but i dont see the organisations claim to authority.. to be honest, ill be glad to get out of it and start living my life as happily as i can whilst still trying my best to serve god.. thanks to those who supported me and of course to my boyfriend 'jackal' who joined this forum in order to understand what has made up my entire upbringing!.

  Tim I'm really pleased for you. Enjoy your life and be happy...We only get one shot at this life, so enjoy and make every second count.

  Go and write a letter of disassociation, if you realy want to be true to yourself.

  Why does Tim have to ''give'' power to some janitors to be true to himself??

  EP that made me cry! I think you need a hug (((((hugs)))))

  I hope your little lad is ok....

  You don't have a right to blame them for your choices, including not investigating things more objectively and for personal lying (they were an influence, not a cause).

  EP can blame who he wants when he wants. It's called mind control. Which you would understand IF you had ever been a JW, which you weren't. This is to do with the pain his little boy is in. Not that you would understand that either. Your child doesn't have violent nightmares where your being hit by a fireball or falling down the earths crack!

  If God had meant us to be Vegans why are cows made out of meat?

  OMG! I have tears running down my face! LOVE IT!

  I have been an on/off veggie since I was a child... I used to hate it when I was tricked into eating meat by others. My parents respected my beliefs, why couldn't others. A few years ago a jw ex friend of ours was round having a bbq. This so called friend kept going on at Babysprout to eat meat and it was really winding him up that she was a veggie. It got so bad Carrot nearly rammed his head in the hot coals. Lol.

  I am a veggie at the moment and the only reason I'm not a vegan is because of my love of cake! Chocolate cake at that! I hate it when veggies, vegans, meat eaters push their views on others. It's a personal decision what to eat and people should mind their own. If Carrot or Babysprout want meat I prepare them a meat dish. I have no right to dictate to them what they can and can't eat! It's very WTish.

  I have a friend who is vegan and her family HAVE to be veggies. No meat is allowed in the house. I think thats rather controlling. Why can't people be who they want to be, not fit into the ideals of others.

  Paperless society?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the advances in digital communication, when will society move to paperless?.

  nooks/kindles are making books obsolete.

  computer/internet is making newsprint obsolete.

  I hate kindles! Nothing can compare with a book... Especially when you are reading curled up on the setee with some chocolate, and in your eagerness to read the next page you absently smear chocolate over the pages. Yes everyone of my books have chocolate smudges! Lol

  I hope kindles never replace books... There is nothing like seeing, touching, absorbing a ''first'' edition... I can't imagine seeing a ''first'' edition of a kindle will have quite the same effect!

  Hi Shel, (The greatest love and peace to you) I still have a tendancy to ''listen'' with my eyes... Sometimes I just need to ''see'' what it is I am asking or being taught... I am not as ''visual'' as I was 12 months ago. I am trusting more.

  I have noticed that I am becoming very spiritual...Leaving my flesh ''behind'' in my spiritual advancement! Lololol.

  I know quite a few who only ''see'' with their eyes and can't understand how someone ''sees'' with their ears.

  Peace my sister
