Welcome!

i have been lurking on this site and others for a couple of years now, and i feel it is time to step out and say "hello!
" when i first began investigating my beliefs, it was innocent enough.
i had been reading an article on scientology, thinking; "wow, these people are just plain nuts!!!
Welcome!

prologue.
get out shouted the audience you must be ashamed of yourself.
the crowd was in a hysterical state, every time that we tried to say something we were silenced by the clapping and screams which got louder and louder of the majority of the two hundred people in attendance.
Welcome.

currently mine are: peking duck pancakes, a sexy danish guy ( love those danes) and sleep.
yes thats right, have spent 4 nights without sleep,... the old withdrawal symtoms still banging on don't ya know!.
am currently at the point where smashing plates seems like a very refreshing and appropriate activity.
Sweet stuff. YUMMY!!

i used to live in a part of england that was popular with tourists.
the kind of tourist who wanted to experiance the "real" rural england.
they would come to my town and thrill at the quaint old shops, delight in afternoon tea at the many little tea rooms.
I understand what you mean! Sometimes I wish we didn't live where we do now. NLW tells me that he wont let some silly religious people and family members ruin it for him as he likes it where we live. I wouldn't mind moving where I don't know anybody and I can do as I please.

i am new to this but, for years, i was already out.
don't know where to start.
as i have read the many posting, i'm not alone in my feelings.
Welcome!!
NLW's wife.
i've been registered at jwn for 1 year!
i've made so much progress since i first started coming here.
i was an inactive jw who was just trying to move on from what i considered a benign but demanding religion.
YAH! That is wonderful. Congrats to you!!!!!

do you miss the "friends"?.
do you miss the meetings?.
do you miss field service?.
NOTHING.
NLW's wife

we celebrate the holidays, and they are very enjoyable.
i was shocked, though, that last night she pulled out a lottery scratch card!!
How nice for you.
