in a few days, i will be making my move from kansas to florida!!
i'm really anxious about the whole thing.
i've never lived anywhere but kansas so this whole is unreal for me.
So sorry to hear this, Stinkypantz - out of the fryin' pan & into the fire, eh?
Oh well, I grew up in Florida - most of it in Interlachen (Putnam County, armpit of the state), and a couple of years in Orlando. Won't take you long to guess which one I liked better! Anyway, good luck & I hope you have a good job lined up there!

Congrats! That's great!
Coming from a nine-month veteran, here! All the best.
tony robbins claims there are three basic ways people 'feel' loved.
some need to be told.
for them hearing those words expresses love.
I think everyone needs a combo of all three.
And Tony Robbins is an alien! Yeah - him and John Tesh!
what, in your opinion, is the worst thing that the society has released?
(book / tract / video / audio cassette)
For me, it's three-way tie:
The old "Paradise" book
The "Youth" book
"Revelation - Its Grand Climax At Hand"
i'm inactive since many years and i met an elder yesterday while i was driving in the city.
i made my stop, and an elder passed in front of me driving very slowly and made a very sad and disapproved face.
although it lasted about 3 seconds, i could feel exactly what he was thinking.. i felt as if i was a very bad boy not wanting to play knock knock on doors with them anymore.. for the inactive ones, do you often get that kind of disapproved look?.
this is a highly interesting wt material (70 pages),.
that prepares jw's for child custody court cases.... .
some statements are shocking, there are many.
Ah, yes - "Theocratic Warfare" = lyin' yer arse off on the stand.
from another thread:.
simon is now probably britains public enemy number one in watchtower eyes.
his forum has helped so many escape from the organisation.
Here, here!
Simon, you rock!!!
i want to give my house a name.
lot's of my neighbours have already done this, so we have a plethora of name boards springing up in my road.
(actually, i susupect it's a sort of snobbery so that people will know that it's not just another old house full of flats and bedsits but a privately owned whole house).
My vote:
Dubdrubbin'
i'll let you know right now, i've got a big soft spot for animals.
(except spiders) .
kittens especially.
Very nice! I, too, have a soft spot for pussies kitties! When I was a Commuter Bethelite at the ol' 360 Furman Street building in Brooklyn, I took home an injured & abandonded kitten. I named him "Furman", and kept him for a couple of months before turning him over to the North Shore Animal League, where I am sure they found him a permanent home (they are NOT like the ASPCA, and have a "no kill" policy).

being raised a witness, my mother has asked me whether or not i held her responsible for her bringing me up in the way that she has.
i feel that my upbringing is something my mother can be proud about.
even though i do not believe in the "truth", i do feel that she did a good job of raising us.
Yeah, except for the being raised in a cult part.
I honestly feel they were doing the best they knew how - unfortunately they thought raising their kids as Dubs was the best thing. Some parts of my personality and behavior I am thankful to them for, but I still have resentment at being raised a JW. (sigh) Things I talk to my therapist about.
