sparked something!
many americans are... well... mutts.
My Dad was a full blooded Maori.
My mother has a bit of Scottish/English in her.
I guess for me, I feel more Maori than anything. I look it, act it and am trying to speak it.
We have a wonderful culture with songs/dances and stories of the ancestors and gods.
So much to learn and not enough time.

here's an interesting article i found on thisislondon's site (http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/lifeandstyle/articles/4688499?source=evening%20standard).

I lived alone for about 12 months.
This was during my adjustment and recovery period after being kicked out of the church.
My family were still hardcore Joho's and lived a good 5 hour drive from where I lived.
The solitude was fantastic. I was able to accept myself for what I had done, and what I had become.
I guess it was a form of therapy for me, I also had some amazing lyrics and songs run thru my head.
Yeah, I know the feeling Viv, coffee and smoke and no one to enjoy the simple pleasure of it with.
I needed that time alone, at even had my sister visit for a week as she began her exit from the borg. That was good.
Now... I am totally on another tangent.
I have a wonderful partner and 2 little 'uns who keep my feet on the ground.

i have not seen any posts by beck melbourne lately.
i pm'd her about two weeks ago, with no response yet.
does anyone know if she's okay?
Beck is doing well.
She has her JW mother visiting at the moment as well as an Aunt and sister.
Needless to say she is very busy entertaining family.
Having a teenage family is also demanding and has restricted her time online. Even I have trouble getting her to the phone.
I will ring her today and let her know you are all thinking of her.

i'm here in nz - just wondering if there's any more ex jw's over here :)
Hi Mandy,
Yup we kiwis are a rare breed. Only come out at night, and sleep all day...
But there are a number of us floating around here.
Enjoy your time here, this is a great place...

i never wanted to go to bethel but when i was a teenager, i wondered what i would need to do to become a circuit overseer.
I swallowed the whole "reaching out" sh*t they shovelled at every assembly.
I wanted to be a pioneering elder, with the hopes of circut work or gilead. My (ex)wife wanted this more so than me, but I was happy to tag along and do the hard yards.
I got half way there. So glad I never got any further....
Kep
ok, advice please.
i just bought a red layered dress.
i don't know how to explain it completely, but it is a red chiffon and a copy of a very famous german styler.
Goofy,
If you are going there to please your family, then maybe you might have to ask them what they think.
It sounds like "Da Bomb" !!
My personal opinion is who gives as toss..... you being there is the important thing.

what posters do you like the most on this forum and why?.
I'm not here a lot.
With family and work obligations my time is very limtied these days .
During my time of healing this place and the people have been wonderful. Altho the scars are still there from the borg, the pain has softened. Having my apostate buddies on the same street has been good, we have been able to talk thru so much, based on the info and topics by many here.
Harmony was an awesome chick. I miss her comments.
Beck my sis has always had her 2c worth on a lot of topics, serious, funny and fiery.
I got to meet Mackin and have a great friendship as a result of being here.
There are many who have had some nice comments and thought provoking topics.
This is my home away from home.
Kep
i'm so curious!
if you see this, sign your name and your location if you want, cuz i wanna know how many people actively view this!
^_^
Kep,
All the way from New Zealand.
Cheers
just wondering how many have either met or atleast talk with people from this board on the phone and such.
how did you connect?
was it just a post that really spoke to you or what?
There aren't many Kiwi's to meet up for now.
I have enjoyed the company of Mackin, and in turn he has been able to meet other evictees that I kick around with.
Next weekend we will be having an apostofest of sorts, with about 8 of us evil slaves plus partners. Whoo Whee I can't wait to get down on some festing.
I am in regular contact with Beck_Melbourne, but then I should be, got to keep an eye on my little sis.
I have made friend from here that I met in the chat room and we've emailed on and off. I miss her comments here, but we get to catch up now and then.
Hopefully I will recruit a few more members after our gathering next weekend.
