just wondering if this is a common thing for you guys and girls?
when i left the jws it was hard to make a connection with people, much of the time i felt that whatever they wanted to talk about just didn't seem relevant/deep/meaningful.
i find myself filtering my mind to get to a level with others (small talk mostly).
Yes, I am.
Besides losing the hope to live forever, my life has been shaken up again (fall out from leaving).
I don't even know who I am right now.
I have no motivation for anything.
If it wasn't for my Kids, I would have a hard time getting out of bed.
since leaving the borg i jumped both feet first into classes i've always wanted to do but was never "allowed" to.
two of which are life drawing and photography.
i've been studying for almost two years now and have seen more nude men and women in our classes than i care to remember.. today in the photography studio i was working in with three others (two women, one man) we were told we had a new person modelling for us.

Love Helmut Newton! I had his big photo book.
So she shave her yingyang?
Did she recognize you?
i am stuck on amos 4:11, jehovah said he will destroy the way god destroyed sodom and gamorah, is this a misprint?.
Magnum - the horses I know! - that's why he had to REVISE the 10 commandments.
He forgot he LOVES Animal Cruelty!
26 “The best of the first ripe fruits of your soil you are to bring to the house of Jehovah your God.s
“You must not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.”t27 Jehovah went on to say to Moses: “You are to write down these words,u because in accordance with these words, I am making a covenant with you and with Israel.”v
just thought i'd start a thread about lucas revisiting star wars films and making new edits - for better or for worse.. first off, let me say that george lucas has a tremendous imagination and star wars (1977), also known as episode 4: a new hope, and the empire strikes back (1980) - episode 5 in the franchise - are two of my favourite films.
.
as progress has been made in special effects, including the development of cgi, it makes sense for lucas to go back and retouch the spaceships, laser blasts and light sabres, improving what was 70s and 80s effects.. but i feel that lucas' tinkering has been a mixed bag - some have been bad choices, some unnecessary and others have been good.. what do you think ... .
What he did with the original 3 was MOSTLY BAD!!!!
Interior of Cloud City was good, and the Falcon coming out of Mos Eilsley. The rest horrible. The Jabba and Han scene was silly. Dont get me on the Greedo shot first.
By the way - if you were going to tinker, why not improve the Atari Like computers screens on the X-Wings and in the Falcons Gun Turrets!!!!!
maybe some of you remember me, maybe not.
for general information i am now 19 years old, and living by myself.
for the past 1 year (more like 1.5 years) i have been quietly fading out of the hypocrisy of this organization, but since i still live in the town i grew up in it has been hard, and filled with different challenges.
rawe - Right On!
Cults do this.
Religion is evil. It is ALWAYS about control.
lt appears this topic has not been debated.energy has to come from something it doesn't come from nothing..
TROLL!
i'm so upset and angry at the same time.
i move in less than 2 weeks and was supposed to be getting help off "brothers" to move and one of them was driving the van and now the elders have had a meeting and told the brothers they can't help coz i'm separated from my (abusive) jw husband and with moving it puts the chances of reconciliation (of which there was zero chance) even further away.
where are these stupid rules that they come up with.
They are not rules anywhere. JW are happy to find ANY excuse to not show love.
It's there most prominent mark.

Again as a former Elder - I agree with Earnest - they don't have anything on you unless you offer up more information.
To do anything they need Two witnesses, that can corroborate that you are often with the DFed person.
Being seen once with someone DFed is not enough to have a Judicial Case.
I would not engage with them, but if they contact you just be respectful and say you are appreciative of their concern for you, that you are ok, thank them, and exit.
yesterday i went to a shopping center.
i saw a dub who was once a very friendly person.
he was about 10 metres from me when i noticed him.
One other bad one for me (long list), was that I was doing work from a long time family friend who is a JW.
Well when the rumors (fueled by elders) started flying (again I had done nothing but not go to meetings), he made it impossible for me to keep working for him.
It was a major chunk of my income.
Still, have not recovered from that.
