Something funny I saw that made me think...

i was at the store the other day and as i was getting ready to pay, a baby no older than 3 years old came running out of nowhere and stopped, looked at me and sat down.

it was the weirdest thing as i saw no mother or father in sight... then i looked closer at the shirt the baby was wearing and it made me laugh but at the same time left me thinking.

soon after that a woman appeared yelling her baby's name and looking everywhere.

i homeschool my son, he has just been accepted into the local community college in the dual-enrollment program.

he scored higher than average for english and slightly above average on math.

i don't homeschool because of the 'worldly' kids at the school.

One step closer to freedom!

it has been some time since my last post on here and its been hard for me to post much since i'm still in and my fellow dubbies are always poking there heads in my business trying to find something wrong to get me into trouble, but i do enjoy lurking on here from time to time... and i do plan to post here much more in the near future!.

actually, being on this site and reading all of your threads (mostly on my phone) has become my favourite thing to do at meetings and on field service and pretty much anything wtbts related!.

you all have been such a great help and comfort to me when i feel down, seriously even the trolls that come around here every now and then leave me with a sense of tranquility, for it reminds me of how i used to be just like them at one point, it gets me all "happified" to know that i have now awakened and see the "truth" about the truth and feel quite at peace with myself at times.. as some of you that have read my first post may know... i've been working on a really, really long fade, and so far its been going steady to say the least.

best(?) friend's wedding: no invitation for me...
by J. Hofer in
1. jw
2. friends
) best friends is marrying, he already gave out wedding invitations, several of his "worldly" work mates are invited.

me and a friend of mine are not invited, because of supposedly being "marked" (didn't even know about that) and inactive.

the funny part is that the bride's parents are "marked" and inactive too.. but then i attended weddings where even the groom's brother didn't show up to not lose his "privilege" of ministerial servant.... the other one who isn't invited says he doesn't care, as he knew it'll go that way.

Hello Everyone! Heres my story!

i'm new here, and although i have been a lurker for several months now, its nice to finally dive in and join you all.

i hope that i find some friends as thats what i'm really looking for, i've seen enough proof that theres real love outside of this religious prison that i've biult for myself over the years, but i would like to feel it firsthand.

it's been a little hard to post anything since it's not easy being around in websites like these when you're still in and theres other jw's around sticking their noses everywhere, but now that i've found the time, i would like to share a bit about my story.... this is an email i sent paul grundy, (creator of jwfacts.com) and it basically sums up the story of my life... so i thought it would be good if you all had a read as well.

How I Know The Assembly Parts Are Made Up
by lovelylil in
1. jw
2. friends
we had a co looking for a certain experience for an assembly part coming up and the elders in my hall at the time sent him to see me, since i usually had good experiences out in field service.. anyway, after speaking with the co, i was sorry to inform him that i did not have an experience that suited the type he needed.

he told me that was o.k.

because he could use me anyway for another part.
