unsolicited pictures of my life... view at own risk!.
Awesome pics WC.
Look after that little one he looks like he's gonna be a handful when he gets older hehehe.
I have a 2 1/2 yr terror who was so cute at that age.... now her younger sister has taken the limelight.
They are indeed a blessing despite all the stress and worries they put upon us, how can you resist such a cutie ??
Thanks for the pics and congrats on your wedding.

what are some of things you were deprived of as a jw kid that were not all that bad??
i remember when other kids would say 'cross your heart or hope to die' as an act of truthfulness.
i don't know the origin...but it seemed harmless enough.
Beck !!!
Hows you say the Lord's Prayer at School, and sing the anthem, and "oh my God" !!
Man, you are so lucky I never saw or heard you. There I was getting bailed up at school by a teacher for not standing to sing the anthem, and you were at the back singing away.....
As for Wanda... JESUS, you wont let me live that one down aye...
I wasn't allowed to have a real girlfriend, one from school. Even my sister wouldn't hook me up with her mates.. but it was alright for her to sing the national anthem....
What's up with that **** ??

I was deprived of having a girlfriend... does that count ??
even though i'd accumulated 20 years of doubts and disappointments, i fought my last dfing tooth-and-nail.
if they hadn't dfd me, i'd still be "in" mentally and psychologically.
heck, i was still "in" for another year and a half after, even though i thought i was out.
Yep, I look back and think of the injustice done to me, but as you say Craig, the reality is they did us a big favor.
As a result of my being shafted I felt alone, with no JW family for support, just my worldly loser father in their eyes. That was almost 8 years ago. My siblings have now jumped ship and are enoying a real life.
Thank you Jehooover and your wonderful loving spirit directed elders.

dear everyone, my dad died suddenly and unexpectedly at the weekend.he did'nt turn up for a family dinner and my husband and i went to see if he was ok.he was dead.collapsed in his home.i can't stop shaking and i feel really sick.i've lost my mum and now my dad too.i wish i could sleep for months and wake when the pain has finished with me.
it hurts so much .sorry to bring everyone down-but i'm stressed at having to sort out his arrangements due to the autopsy and funeral etc and the house and my feelings.
; i just wanted to tell you all as my husband's gone for a walk and the children are asleep and i'm feeling scared about viewing his body, but i know i'll have to and i feel guilty for feeling like that.stupid thoughts racing through my mind at the moment-need to 'hear' a friendly voice .
(((((((((termite))))))))
Sorry to hear about your Dad.
Thru losing my dearly loved Dad this time last year I have cherished memories of the times we spent together. They indeed help me cope with his loss. He was my best friend and confidant. Altho he didn't have answers to my problems, he was there to let me pour it all out.
I am still hurting with his passing, and as the days drew near to when he died I was not my usual self. Despie feeling that he is at peace and in a better place, I can't help but feel the pain of his loss, of not seeing him again or being able to talk to him.
I go thru some rough patches but overall I keep all the wonderful memories of him alive in my mind and heart, I talk often to people about him and it helps me accept his passing.
Take care and don't bottle it all in, have a good cry, I do this quite often as things trigger the hurt and pain. I feel better after letting it out.
Thinking of you and your family

i was just wondering if anyone here has had any experiences with them.
im sorry if thread has already been discussed.
when my oldest was about 5 months, (i was just studing at the time) i had put her is the crib to sleep for the night.
Hey Steph,
Sorry to hear how you got spooked by something.
Altho I haven't experienced anything similar, I do know a friend who had something like your happen to her.
She awoke to see her baby who had been put to sleep in his crib, naked and crawling around the floor, his clothes were folded and in his crib.
It freaked her out, but for her she had an explanation that made sense and as she is a spiritualist type person, she was happy with that.
I had got onto the subject with her as the result of my Dad passing away and not seeing my baby, and how some strange things had been happening at home. Not that it bothered me, it helped feel better about losing my Dad.
I hope that you and family doing ok.

at first when we joined, we all choose a user name that would identify us.
we also had the choice of puting a picture next to our user name.
often, some change the picture for a better one.
I won't change mine.
It is part of my real name, and the profile pic is really me, altho I have since had my lush crop of hair cut and so now feel rather bare on top....
But for me what you see is what you get, I have no hidden agenda here, not that I say others do. This is me... and I am happy with that.
Cheers

my formal education ended with high school.
i did a couple of semesters of college work but it really doesnt count.
i believe that almost any kind of legal employment is honorable depending on how we approach it.
What is stoopid to me is that I let the church dictate what is the best course in life to take.
I wanted to further my education, I wanted a degree etc.. but I let that go, and instead started working to then pioneer and have a real career in life.
So many are lulled into thinking that the end is so close that the best thing to do is seek first the kingdumb...
Some within are stoopid coz they still continue to let this bs outfit tell them what is right and what is wrong, not to go with the heart, but go with what the GB have written.
My brother told me he wished had of left 10 years ago.. just when he was ready to go to college. At that time I had prompted him to finish his schooling and likewise start working and look at pioneering... Now I really feel schtoopid !!
