I think you make sense, Joel, I just left the borg and feel the same way about life. I always wanted to be a nurse, but I thought the time was too short to be undertaking something that would not be needed in the new world. Bull bolony!!! I hope they will accept me in nursing school when I am 40, I need to stay home with the kids for now. But that is a goal , only one of them, since now I have many
more goals to accomplish. More power to you on your adventures!

I am unlike other men
by joelbear ini'm not talking about the homo thing here.. i am very different.
i learn differently.
i am odd, very eccentric sense of humor.. i have decided that instead of trying to get one doctorate degree that i am going to try and get several bachelors degrees in different areas of interest.. i like too many things to concentrate on one subject.. i have worked at the same type of job for the last 20 years and have never been happy.

I just read your thread and about your little cousin. I knew your were feeling low but didnt know why really, I do now. I hope you are able to spend some time with her during her serious illness, dont give up hope. Maybe you can give her a wonderful day, like a birthday,let it be her day. Make her feel like a princess, and that might make you feel better , to be able to give her a good day, bless her heart. She really deserves it, my little girl is 9, ...
i cant think right now of words to say to you . But your story touched my heart. Let me know how she is doing from time to time. I will think of her often, let her know that even strangers wish her happiness and peace . -

Prayer request For some Friends Of Mine
by TheRecordCollector insome friends of mine are having a very difficult time.
there names are glen & judy.
judy has cancer, their teenage daughter commited suicide 6 months ago, and glen (a fellow record collector), got busted by the fbi for having "bootleg" recordings (unreleased concert recordings, etc), and was fined $1000 per recording.. they could really use prayer.. thanks, .

I honestly do not know if my prayers are being heard, but none the less , I shall pray for your dear friends. My mother commited suicide so I know what that does to a family and how you are effected for the rest of your life. I cant image one of my children doing that, but my aunt , mother's sister, has been thru it. Her son, my cousin John shot himself a year ago. She is just making it day to day. Please send our thoughts to that family and I am sure you will be a great support , they are really going to need you.

Really thou, I am the happiest I have ever been in my entire life,
leaving the borg has set me free. Freedom is a wonderful feeling,
sure somedays i get down, but now , life is good. Everyone should feel this good. Maybe they do, I was always told that JW's were the happiest people on the earth. Boy , were they wrong!!!! The JW's always told us that the poor "worldly" , just THINK they are happy.
I think there out to be law prohibiting Jehovah's Witnesses to even exsist. That religion has done nothing but destroy lives. Lets all ban them. I just hope that JW lose their grip on all of their current members and then others can be really happy , for once in their lives.DD

Wow! That is great for your son. My son just turned 15 and our family left the borg less than a year ago. He has always been athletic and that was always something the JW hated, you couldnt even run track in school, but you could play with an easy bake oven. Some boys just dont get what they need being a JW, they need an outlet. My son just signed up to learn Tae Kwon Do, and he is loving it! He just got his gee and we are looking forward to the advancements he will make. It has done wonders for his self esteem and he is making new friends.
The JW always acted like if you do martial arts you might as well be worshipping Satan, but so far there has been no religious or spiritist content at all. The instructor said he could be a black belt in about 2 yrs if he really applies himself. He goes 3 times a week right now, and I too, am so proud of my son. I think I feel so strongly about helping him find something tomake him happy, because i feel guilty about bring him up as a witness. I am trying so hard to make amends for it now and encouraging him to use his own mind and look at all the possibilites out there for him. -

Is Cybersex considered adultery
by butalbee inwhat's your opinion on this?
what if you caught your husband or wife engaging in an odd situation at his/her computer screen?
is it cheating?
-
LyinEyes
Personally, I think it is wrong. I think both my husband and myself, would be just as worried if one of us had an emotional affair or attachment with someone of the opposite sex. Dirty talk would not even have to come into the picture. Of course we both enjoy having friends and talking to men and women, but there is a line you dont cross when you love someone.

If You Had One Year To Live ????
by YYHWH inif you found out you had only one year of life left to live do you think your thoughts and views on the dubs would change ?.
i was personally brainwashed from an early age and have only been out about six years and still have some things in my head that are hard to shake.. when i think about death it is always something that i imagine will happen years from now (hopefully) however if i knew it was right around the corner i might possibly be prone to re-thinking my thoughts on god and relgion in general.
i now think as myself as a deist.. any thoughts on this matter?

If I found out I only had a year left, i would not go back to JW. I dont really think it matters once we die ,what happens , we either go to heaven or not. I dont beleive in hellfire. I was very perplexed at this issue when I left the borg. It burnt my ass not to know where I go when I die, not so much for myself ,but what would I tell my kids.
I always had the resurrection idea to tell, them, that we would be together on paradise earth forever. Now I just dont know, what to beleive , I am still searching for that answer. I have come to the conclusion I may never know. That is hard for ex jw's because we thought as jw's we had all the answers. I just would like to be able to leave my kids with some kind of hope of being together again. But one thing I would do is start a journal to leave for my kids, that way when I am gone they can read my thoughts and even thou I would be gone , they could still learn about me. In fact , I plan on starting a new one, a new journal, . Because who knows how long we will be here .
