If you like OPI then try Cha-Ching Cherry, it is a great red, you can wear it with the reddest of reds, or if you wear pink, it takes on a pinkish hue.

Loved your husband's response to the ~~police~~ elders

LOL, Prisca that was hillarious. If it turns out to be a witchhunt, I'll keep an update as to what is going on. It may just be time for a CO visit. I thought maybe they had forgotten me when I didn't get a call to help up the stats for the Memorial attendance (figured they didn't call because I didn't go last year).

Brummie, there probably is such a service, I would probably have to request that they do not call anymore first then report it. I mentioned to my husband that we could tell them to put us on a "do not call list." He said the next time they called he would tell them there is no need to call anymore, that I know where the KH is.

MISERY LOVES COMPANY,,,,,,,
BUT HAPPINESS CELIBRATES FREEDOMS WITH BEER!!!!

LOL Little Witch, my sister will love that quote!

nowisee, Thank you so much for your reply. We all need encouragement, that is a reason that so many are here. Most of us have similar backgrounds or know someone who has been through what we have gone or are going through. This forum has helped give me the information I needed to know: that what the watchtower teaches, and especially how it teaches its members to (mis)treat people is not what I want to put my faith in.

Are there any real reasons to go on living?

by Robdar in

.

i would be interested in hearing a few.

for the life of me (pun intended) i can't think of any good ones.. robyn

Robyn,

What is the point to living when all is insanity?

I love the totally insane, I just tolerate the sane.

HS is right, we live through moments, and your life does count. When you have lost someone thru death, don't you have moments when an event happens whether it is personal or a media event that you think that you wish that they were here to share it with you. Don't deny those moment to those who love you.

Divorce is now final

hi you guys... just thought i'd pass on my sadness for me to heal a little.. if that's okay.. i was in the "program" for 11 years, husband witnessed to me in college while he was inactive, we studied together, got baptized & married.

had rough times... but i loved him so much........unconditionally despite wt doctrine.

last 3 years we both started to miss meetings and question the bs.

myself

(((((((((Scooby))))))))) So sorry to see you hurting like this.

No, you may never know if it a contributing factor in the divorce, but from you description, I doubt it.

I remember when I finally had the courage to lurk on this board, I would cringe at the talk of apostate, and apostafests.... oh the horrors of the idea LOL. My sister mentioned wanting to go to one, and my imagination ran wild. Soon I realized that I was pretty much free of the cult mentality that I had, I opened my eyes to the fear that had been instilled in me all those years, it was nothing but a control tactic. Now I can't wait to go to a HUGE fest and meet more of these great people here.
