Can't sleep... Feel so alone!
by Free!! insorry, i am just feeling alone and needed to vent..... i hate the fact that i allow jws to control me for so long and now i have no friends!
i mean, i do have a few, but at moments like this when my head is spinning like a thousand miles per hour, there is noone i can call and trust and talk to.... my friends all have their lives, and the few that i can call, i am afraid to do so... again, i know i said this before, but jw ruined my social skills... .
i want to scream!!!

Internet Explorer 9 - RANT!

not even any good in "compatability mode.

Did you fake underlining the WT?
by shepherd ini read on another topic " i remember when i used to carry microphones years ago in the jw cult- only about 30 % had their wt's pre-studied, the rest just wing it i truly believe" and it reminded me that people will assume you are not familiar with the material if you have not underlined, and that there will always be those who observe the lack of ink and consider you must be unprepared (and so 'weaker' than them).. many times i used to fake prestudy just for that reason.
its easy to do, underline a random sentence or 2 in each paragraph or the sited scripture.
you can wizz through an entire article in 3 minutes....did anyone else do that?.

Thanks for your support JWN!!! Dad dies monday, JW family goes to convention on thursday
by Coffee House Girl incoffee shop guy directed me to his thread...thank you so much everyone for your thoughts of support, it means a lot to have people who understand and show genuine sympathy.
here's my experience so far.... my father dies monday night & my brother (nonjw) calls me to come home, when i arrive my father is still sitting on the couch- all the jw family is sitting in a semi-circle around him, my non jw brother is standing in the next room.
no one is crying, no one is talking.

some more of my story THE PREQUEL
by hellenback inmy father became a witness in 1973 , so just before the 1975 thing.
my sister and i always say that the only reason he became a jw was because he's as tight as a knats chuff and didnt want to buy presents at birthdays or christmas.
i was 6 ys old and my sis was 7 my younger brother was 2 ys old .

Strange crushes on people who aren't your "type"?
by Mad Sweeney indoes anyone else get these and get perplexed by them?.
i kind of lean toward a full-figured type of woman 99% of the time.
skinny doesn't do anything for me.. but then there's milla jovovich.
