  Portland/Vancouver Fest! Pics soon to follow :)

  well, we had a grand old time yesterday dakota red kindly offered his home for our mini-fest, and what started off as a little party for searcher (our uk guest of honor) became somewhat more than that .

  in alphabetical order, our group included: bikerchic, blueyes, bruce and dorian baker, buster and wifey, carmel, dakota red, goshawk, lost diamond, onacruse, princess and steve (and steve's mom and a family friend), searcher, seven006, songmistress, and veniceit.. carmel brought some delicious salmon for the barbie, and we even got searcher to have a taste.

  we overlooked the fact that brits prefer to eat fish in the form of fish and chips searcher and songmistress--when we brought out the cake, everything was fine until somebody started to sing happy birthday...the words just sorta stuck in our throats, and we looked around at each other like a bunch of dubbies lolololol.

  Hey everybody!

  I had a lot of fun! It was nice to meet new people. I got to visit with : Dave (Seven006)...he drove up with me, Onacruse, Bickerchic, Searcher, Songmistress, BlueEyes, Goshawk, Dakota Red, Princess, her husband and mother-in-law, and their friend, Jeff (a real hottie!!! ), Venice, and her parents, Bruce & Dorian (very sweet family!!). Venice...you crack me up!!

  I'm probably missing some, but I think there were about 20 of us. I think Bikerchic has the stats. on that one. I had a GREAT time and I'm so glad I got to go!! Hopefully Craig will get those pictures posted soon.

  I hope we do this again very soon!

  can people be single and happy?

  the older i get the more i believe that being single is the way to go.there are so many advantages.just to name a few;.

  you can finish that college degree, go to the neighborhood bar anytime, do charity work, join a night class, stay out all night, flirt with anybody you please.

  Gozz,

  I admire people that have stayed single that long. I believe that is a very wise choice.

  there is one thought, which if spoken , even privately to yourself, instantly.

  transforms you into an ex-witness.. it is:.

  "what the hell was i thinking?".

  Ballistic....you are so right!

  I like who I am now. Being a JW made me a stronger and more compasionate person......now I don't judge people like I used to when I was a JW. I have more sense of what freedom feels like.

  I have been recently divorced .....but I must say I am much happier now than when I was married. I must have married the wrong guy, I suppose.

  I love my freedom..coming and going when I want, my place stays neat and clean, not relying on anybody for anything. Being alone opens up the gates for self-discovery. But, with that freedom comes lonliness too. Being held by somebody who doesn't really love you isn't the same as being held by somebody who truley cherishes you. That's what I miss the most. You can't beat true love with intimacy!

  I'm very happy being single, but I'm sure if one is paired up with the right person one can be just as happy. I'm hoping to find that special someone...but I can live happily until I do.

  famous jehovahs witnesses

  by Rush in

  2. friends

  this is my first post.. when i was still a witness myself, there were some perennial stories regarding 'famous' jehovahs witnesses or ex's.

  does anyone know any truth or have any proof about the following: hank marvin, cliff richard and more importantly, the man who hit the gong in the 'rank' movies?.

  if you have anyone of note you want to tell me about, i'd most appreciate it too.. cheers, rush.

  JWS,

  Yeah...I guess that's where all the curiosity comes from. But I guess I don't have to know what everybody else could get away with...I already KNOW that the ORG is full of a bunch of hypocrites!!

  Lets all just love each other :)

  ?? I guess I just don't understand why everybody is soooo curious about who famous JW's are? What's the big deal? It's not like we should feel we have something in common, right? I'm not being a smart a@@.......I just don't get it.

  lonliness, doormats and making friends

  by SpiceItUp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  had a conversation today about how when people leave the dubs, or make any other major life decisions, that you end up being lonely.

  all your "friends that you used to have are no longer there and you have to start afresh.

  i remember when i was younger, right when i quit the meetings, i would do anything just to make people like me.

  First of all, we must not let anybody have control over us. We shouldn't feel that we have to live up to anybody's standards....we must be true to ourselves! This is part of the JW thinking....letting others control us and pass judgement on us. To hell about what anybody thinks of us!!

  If we are just ourselves, then we will attract people that are compatable to us. That means that we too should not pass judgement on anybody else.....what makes us so superior? Live and let live is what I say.

  Just go out and meet people. If you are happy with yourself, then you will radiate this and you will welcome new friends. Just don't feel that you need to live up to anybody else's standards. We are free from that! Just be yourself without feeling you have to be somebody's door mat....because you are perfect just the way you are!

  for the last few years, my son has been thinking about what happens when you die.

  it has caused many a nights lost sleep for him.

  today he asked me (for the upteenth time) what i thought happens when you die.

  Eyebrow,

  I would also recommend reading "Celestine Vision" I'm on the 5th chapter and I've found this book very enlightening. He sounds like a very bright kid with a spiritual quest....something that should be nurtured.
