..... in answer to "why do you still like them" question. I don't know. Why do I keep coming here? I don't know the answer to that either. Maybe I like some here. You're not all the big bad apostates I imagined you were standing outside conventions with flipcharts, you're people with feelings and emotions. Whilst some posts here I certainly don't like, and reasoning I don't think I ever will, I can choose to skip over. Like I said, I read NGs post and was amazed at those that critisised her, I had alot more respect for those that wished her well.

Teenyuck...... good analogy, but not altogether true. I think even if they D/F me tommorow, I'd still think it was the Truth. I've given them every reason to. I guess I'd have to learn to accept the consequences of my actions. To me the "rules" were always set. I still reckon I couldn't get bitter because I flunked out. Bear in mind this applies to me only.

I really do. Jehovah's Witnesses. The Organisation. I love 'em both still. Admittedly this only stretches to reading the wt/awake, the memorial, and the assemblies and not regular attendance, but I mean generally, I like 'em. Maybe its easier to talk the talk and not walk the walk. How much longer can one sit on a fence? Why hasn't the "spirit" of this DB caught me along with it yet, and why am I still sitting here watching. I think Northern Girls post made me think. hmmm.....

Do you miss the Kingdom Melodies?
by Candlestick02 injust curious.
i went to the 3rd church that i've ever stepped foot into after leaving the borg 3 years ago.
so, as i'm standing there (in the front row, i might add) for the musical worship portion of the service.. i felt like a big idiot.

yep, I still listen to them at times in the car. I liked Gods Loyal Love (Hey there all you thirsty ones...come and drink life waters free. etc etc) and the convention favourites Song no.4 Gods promise of a paradise, and 15. Life Without end at last..... ahhhhhhhhh

in that post i said i'd like to be reinstated but felt it likely wouldn't happen because the shunning was too much for me.

I don't think I ever chatted with you amongst all the chatter here. I just caught your post. I'm truly so happy for you, keep your eyes forward, and follow that path you're on. Someone said here that you "wasn't free". You are, be yourself. I'm proud of you, even if it does go against the grain here. Take good care of yourself. Love Scott xxx

No disrespect intended Nina...... I was of course speaking generally here from past experiences.. This board is a so much nicer when it is a place of support, rather than a whipping board. The quote of mine you used and highlighted was meant in context with the rest I wrote. I wish Estee much love and agree with your sentiments entirely.

Oh Estee!!
I'm so sorry for you. I can only think of one small piece of advice to give you.
Asking for advice on this forum about such a tough thing will mainly illicit only one type of response, and I think you know what that is. It would be much like you going to directly to the elders and asking their advice.....it would be one sided. Each presenting their point of view of whats right. I reckon you are better speaking to your daughter and trying (and I know maybe for the umpteenth time) about how much this means to you to be there. I realise its not as simple as a post reply can convey, but its as realistic as the next reply you'll get on here./
I really wish you well.

ooops I meant to say this......
My boss since I've been a student nurse, is retiring in October after 35 years service to the NHS ( Britains National Health Service)She is gonna be utterly irreplaceable. Since my last 9 years of qualifying as a registered nurse I've worked my way up the ranks to what I am now, Charge Nurse and just recently Acting Ward Manager, her vacancy will create a permanent post as Ward Manager to a busy 25 bedded acute surgical ward and I'm expected to apply for the post.......
Today I spoke to our "lead nurse" manager for surgery and she told me that the interviews for the post will be in mid-september. A 25 minute powerpoint presentation is expected of a topic of their choice, plus facing a panel of 5. (A Consultant Surgeon, the Director of Nursing, the Nurse General Manager, Head of Human Resources, and a Modern Matron) As acting in the post for the past 6 months everyone is reassuring me of the fact that I've been doing the job already, so I've nothing to worry about. I wish it was that simple. I reckon its gonna be a nightmare. Why do management make you jump through hoops??
How the hell am I gonna keep my cool infront of these 5 scary figures? Is the stress worth all this worry? HELP........lol......
