Hi Michael.
When I think back to when I was younger (19-23) I have to say I would probably have gone back. But, with the passage of time comes some wisdom. And, I am 99% sure I would not go back.

if there was someone you were crazy about who went back to associating with jw's again and they asked you to come back too, only because to live dividedly for the rest your life would be just too hard and awkward.
keep in mind your role would be very limited, few meetings a month, couple hrs service a month etc.. i know "if" this was before me i would feel that i would never ever want to come back.
i don't believe it is the truth, can't stand the control among other reasons.

Have fun and I look forward to recipes and photos as well!

i am the mother of five cats.
i am not sure that i want to hear what the little bastards monsters are saying.
besides, i already know what they are saying: "feed me", "let me out", "play with me" ,"quit bogarting the catnip" and "feed me".

her ever loving text and comment sent to me every morning, included the following this morning.
it is just so ignorant that i almost can't stand it.
obviously it is a subliminal message about my non-attendance of meetings, but i had to vent and share because she really just pisses me off.. look out: perhaps there may be someone who will carry you off as his prey .
I am so glad that I don't receive gems like that from my family!

i was feeling a little low in spirits today...just thought i would write down some memories,.. i remember when i was about 6 yrs old, my younger sister and i took off to the beach with a couple of other kids about the same age and we went to the beach...that was about lunchtime on a saturday and we somehow managed to get home about 8 at night....my mother must have been frantic with worry....i feel so sorry for her having to go through that.. i remember her dragging 12 kids to the meetings and everyone was amazed that she could do that...she tried so hard to do the best for us..... i remember when she started studying and she tried really hard to do the right thing ....my uncle who wasnt a witness use to give my mum a christmas cake and then she use to bury it in the back yard....even though when yrs went past she came to her senses and it was just a fruit cake with icing anyway.. whenever we had problems we always went to mum....when we were sick, when we had trouble at school etc etc..... she always had the right advice even though it may not have been what we wanted to hear...somehow she was always right.. when she had to cook dinner, i never realised but she went without meat so the rest of the family could have it.. there were 3 bedrooms in the house and we had a big garage out the back...so dad made one half of the garage into a bedroom so some of the boys could sleep out there which left a small rectangular bit..so he made that into another bedroom so 2 of the girls could have it and us other 3 girls slept in the bedroom in the house.. i remember going to the markets with mum and dad and he would carry a sack around and put things in there they would buy and he would buy cashews....they are my favourite.. my mum never really had a holiday in those yrs....wasnt till later on in her life when the kids were older that she would go interstate to visit one of my sisters...my dad worked a lot to bring money into the house.
i remember when there were assemblies in another state, she would start putting money away to save for it and we stayed with other people for the assembly because she couldnt afford accommodation for 12 kids plus herself....my dad wasnt a witness.. there are a lot more memories i have but this list would be too long.... i love my mother sooo much and as i type this i cry because she has been gone for 3 yrs dec 12 this yr and my dad will be gone 6 yrs dec 29 this yr.. as i got older i vowed to myself i would try not to answer my mother back or make her upset because i knew that one day she would be gone and i would never forgive myself ....i "talk" to her every night and tell her how much i love and miss her...she is my heart and my soul.... thats all i can tell for now, there will be more another time.. thanks for listening.
(((((((fairy)))))))) Sounds like you have some wonderful memories!

Good one Brummie!

i finally decided after being here for over two years now, that i would finally get down in writing my jw history.
i've posted it in my new profile, but since there are so many new people here i thought i'd go ahead and post it too.
i do this to encourage you to pen your jw history.
Andi, awesome story-thanks for sharing!
