I saw one sister who was disabled and dealing with a hyperactive boy. He would run around the hall and assemblies with his dracula haircut as his trenchcoat flapped behind him like a cape! We called him the BAT CHILD. He left the cult when he turned 18, joined the Navy and is now raising his kids in one of Christendom's churches. Despite being tethered most of his young life he turned out fine.

I am constantly shunned.
by Valentines inthe funny thing is, the witnesses don't even realize they are doing it.
since i've stopped going to meetings i've grown a beard and dropped over 80 pounds, i don't look a thing like i used to.
whenever i see a witness, i'm basically the one to decide whether or not a conversation is going to happen.

In Plain Sight! I love that term. I also grew out my beard and lost some weight, but everyone still knows me...LOL Most of them avoid me at the store or out in public. But I am 6'2" tall and about 300 lbs now so maybe they think I joined another cult, like the Hells Angels...LOL

Opinions on keeping your identity secret
by rebel8 insome ex-jws feel strongly we should all be "out of the closet" so we can present real faces to the public on the issue of cult dangers.
to those folks i say, more power to you, all the best.. for my own life i have a different approach.. compartmentalizing is healthy for me.
it keeps my past in the past.

I appreciate your stance on this. I also appreciate the out of the closet stance. each of us has our own set of circumstances and I feel that however we stand on this issue is a personal matter. My surviving family are aware of my position, however my wife's family are very much still into the whole wt's judge and destroy policy, so I keep a low profile MOST of the time for Mrs TOTH'S sake.
You are right...WHY start a fight with people who no longer matter to you. They are not in your life so I agree to just let them be.

Those of you in relationships, when your partner gets clingy, is it flattering, irritating? How do you deal with it?
by La Falta Habitacion Por Sr Hor-Hey!! ini'm just curious as i'm on the outside looking in when it comes to relationships, yet i recall undercover explaining to me a year or so ago on another thread how his wife was clingy one morning before he went to work.
it made me wonder as someone who's single, what do you feel when you need to be somewhere and your significant other is clingy at the moment?
or when your out and about and he/she is clingy, is it flattering, irritating?

Mrs. TOTH was never clingy or needy. So in that relationship she is not an issue. OTHER women in my past have been overly clingy/needy and it was a little bit flattering but soon grew tiresome. I tend to be a flirty and romantic guy and I am told that Mrs. TOTH finds it VERY irritating. I tell her how adorable she is and how I need her kisses more than I need air to breathe and she says, "SHUT IT!" Or, "Get over it" when I tell her she's mean to me...LOL She says that I'm, "apegoste" or like, "un chicle apegado", which in Spanish means clingy or like gum stuck to her shoe... LOL

Social networking, like Facebook, a cause for depression?
by moshe inso much online interaction, and yet people are still lonely!
what do you think?.

I find that certain downer-type people tend to lower my mood when they post weird and depressing stuff on facebook. They NEVER post any of the up-type things in their lives, just the o poor me stuff. THAT'S depressing.
