Hello. I have made myself a footnote.

first time poster.

i guess this makes me the scary a word.

arent apostates jealous?

i've been doing quite a bit of thinking, praying, and meditating as of late and i've decided to take my leave from this forum for the time being to focus on more positive and spiritual pursuits.i'm sure i'll check in now and again for tidbits and to say hi... in the meantime, y'all have been a great help on my journey to something or other.

good night, good luck, god bless, and much love to all,

I feel like I found me again

i'm sure others have had the same experience, but it's a bit odd to me now as i see how all the business of jw-land and the constant social proddings can keep a person from leaving for quite some time.. if it hadn't been for the inquisition i might not have left.. .

i'm glad they felt my wife and i were important enough to hound, because that helped immensely.. now for the past two years now i've finally gotten back to being the book-consuming, thinking-machine i was in the past.. .

i feel like i woke up, came home and found myself sitting in a chair reading some odd sort of esoterica and the me that was there said:.

I'm happy for you. I'm not sure what the "me" is since I was raised a JW.

How often do disassociated people go back to the organization?

by SEL in

a friend disassociated in order to get divorced, hoping not to get disfellowshipped.

some time later, he has a serious non-jw girlfriend whom he'll probably end up marrying.

the thing is, he didn't disassociate because he no longer believed the wt doctrines.

nolongerwaiting

Wow. I didn't know about a half come back pirata. I would have hoped it to be lower.

We are making new friends. I'm tickled pink and it is really helping ease the family loss. I also started volunteering which I think is going to be really fun.

Got myself some Clabber Girl...Mmm..."heaven" isn't far off now

by laverite in

we were about to have a great day baking only to discover we were out of baking soda.

the kids and i ran to the store and now the fun is about to begin.

love to spend the day baking.

nolongerwaiting

Ah, your the best laverite. Spending a day baking with your kids is so sweet. I love to bake and sometimes when I had my neice over I would make something just so she could help. She'd be standing on a chair with a big spoon trying to stir everything. Then she'd go home and would start begging to help cook at her house.

How Many People Are Still Happy That They Married Their Mate?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i know of someone that has made no bones about being somewhat unhappily married.

they got married because they "fooled around" and felt it was the "right thing to do".. i wonder how many people are unhappily married?

?.

nolongerwaiting

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!! We are one of the few I think that just hit it off and still get along great. There are a lot of married couples I know that this is NOT the case. I don't know why we were so lucky but hey, I won't complain.
