Yipeeeeee I finally have power!!!!!!! Here in New York State we have lost power all night and have experienced rolling blackouts. I am really afraid to go to work and find out what happened to all our computers!!!!! Rolling blackouts are not good for equipment!!!! In our county there are still many people without power and it is hotter than heck!!!!

Now what is silly is how NYS is blaming Canada and Canada is blaming NYS. The most impressive thing that has happened is how well everyone is handling this. In the Northeast we have all learned from 9/11 what is really important. Hope everyone that is posting here is doing ok.

now, for only $19.95, you can have a bona fide hollywood celebrity call you or a loved one!

just think, you don't know what to get that special someone...have hunky lorenzo lamas call and wish her a happy birthday!

can't decide what to get for his anniversary?

LeslieV

Wow does that mean that all of these celebrities are broke and that is why they are doing this??? If it is, it is kinda sad makes you remember that most celebrities only have that 15 minutes of fame.

no i'm not talking about me, its just since the new changes last weekend.

why is it when i sign off from my computer, and try to get back on, this forum recognises me only as a guest.......... i'm confused.

i don't mind being labelled an apologist, a troll etc.......but a "guest"????

LeslieV

Well nice to know that it isn't just me that it is happening to. Hey Valis most of us here are already DF'd. So what is our discipline???? Whatever you say don't be thinking that are punishment would be sitting in the KH again!!!!! There would definitely be mutiny.

Swallowed my pride and had a good cry today

as some of you know i have been have a few health problems lately.. i went to the doctor today to pick up my application for a handicapped parking permit.

when we talked he said he would sign it for a year.. well he signed it as "permanent disability".

in one way this is good because if they don't figure out the problem and find a solution i won't have to keep applying for it.

LeslieV

((((((((((((((((((Lady Lee)))))))))))) you are a wonderful inspiration to many people here. You would be great at counseling online. I will be thinking of you keep us all updated on what is happening.

[now for the rest of the story ... it begans again below with ### in front of the continuation] .

well, well, well ... well, well ... well, uhmmmmm ... this ought to be good .

these two ladies were standing there ... one was obviously an elder's wife ... say late 40s ... likely aux.

LeslieV

I think you did a wonderful job with the two women. The good part is that you did not let on that you knew anything about their religion and did not attack their religion. I would not anticipate them coming back, I bet you scared the bejesus out of them. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall at their coffee break.

Last Meeting

by Nosferatu in

for those who have been out for a while, was there anything special about the very last meeting you attended (excluding memorials)?

was there anything incredibly memorable about it?

LeslieV

I have to say the last meeting I went to I had DA'd myself about 6 months earlier. I sat there and could not sit still. I realized how I tortured my children making them sit still for two hours straight. My mind kept wondering..looking around at the rapt silly expression on peoples faces. Many were shaking their heads like in a daze. That is when I said what in the heck am I doing here!!!! I left in the middle of the talk. That was the end for me.

WHY THE HELL DO I STILL FEEL GUILTY??!!

by Mary in

jw
friends

ok, i've known for a long time now that this is not "the one true religion", but i can't for the life of me, seem to make the final break.

i seldom go to meetings and am usually bored out of my mind when i do go, but for the life of me, after i've missed about 3 or 4 weeks i start feeling guilty about "missing meetings" and i'll go.

i'm really frustrated and angry with myself that i can't make the break, but in all honesty, there's still some people at the hall that i care about and i guess i'd miss them if i left completely.

LeslieV

Leaving is a process and is very different for each person. Many of us left, such as myself, but it took along time for the guilt to go away. Even now if it is a Thrus, Tues, I think hmmmmmm I wonder what they are talking about. I have no desire to go, but since all my family is still in I still wonder.

Remember like one poster said it is not love you are feeling, but guilt and responsibility. It is called brainwashing. It is how you have been programmed to believe. You are doing well just coming here and expressing what you feel. Give yourself some time and eventually you will leave for good. Good luck and keep coming back.
