....save the "the day i got out" posts, surely some here can dreg up some happy times of when they were witnesses, it can't all be negative.

for me, i can remember some great people, some do's some co's some elders, some pioneers some just plain ol' publishers like me.

come on everyone.......dig deep now.....

I have fond memories of 3 beautiful friendships I cultivated while a JW (yes only 3- the rest wouldn't give my poor white trash butt the time of day in such a snobby congregation). Anyways, I grieved for a long time for those friendships, and the memories I have of them are precious.

Interestingly enough, I got one of um back not to long ago, hopefully to be never lost again. With her, I am able to relive some of the happier moments during those years, but inevitably we both end up crying for what was lost, and the love we both lost because of that religions' beliefs.

Cry for help from Dallas posters

i don't hardly know where to begin.. some of you are aware that i have a cousin living in the dallas/ft.

worth area with whom i stayed during this year's apostofest.

a few of you are even aware that she was in remission from 4th stage non-hodgkins lymphoma after experimental treatments.

(((Brenda))) my prayers & thoughts are with you.

Per our conversation tonight, it sounds as if your cousin might also need alot of moral support. I was thinking, perhaps there's a way some of us who don't live in Dallas can send her an e-mail, a card, flowers or anything to help keep up her spirits. To have such a crappy husband, who seems hell bent on pushing her to her demise through his cruel treatment - a healthy person would have a hard time dealing with this. I would like to send her something, so please PM me her address.

Hopefully, all our wonderful Dallas people will come through .

Camping Fest - June 2004 - Canada

okay guys - planning my summer vacations and i wanna know - can we make this happen or what????.

decent campgrounds fill up pretty quick, so i'd like to look into some.

i know nova scotia & ontario are many moons apart, and there was discussion of 2 separate fests.. if there are 2 separate ones, owens sound area, ontario has some pretty cool campgrounds.. who's in???

Then perhaps we should bump to August/Late July?

There are many camping grounds that offer cabins as well, which is why I'd like to look into this early (cabins fill up FAST). That way, one can have all the conveniences of home (and a place to store our beer) and those that enjoy tenting it can do as well. Usually campgrounds have a wide array of activities for the youngins which makes it a wonderful idea for those with families.

Ray - pfffftt!

I'm sick of being mistaken for a prostitute!

this has happened far too many times now for it to just be happenstance.

over the last year or so i've had at least 10 guys try to "pick me up" while i am out walking.

if it only happened at night it would be one thing but, it's happened early in the morning as well.

hee hee Jo - Me thinks Carrie will get ya back at the Camp-fest!

I'm sure every woman that walks around a large suburban area by herself can be "mistaken" for a prostitute.

Are you a Drama Queen/King?

Results of "The Test"

How much of a drama queen are you?
Your score = 35

What does your score mean?

According to your answers on the test, you are given to the occasional dramatic outburst. You seem to have days when you are calm and rational, yet others when you ride a temporary roller coaster of emotion. Yes, sometimes you overreact. Perhaps you are more sensitive in certain areas, like your love life or health. Or maybe you go a tad over-the-top during certain times of high stress (or fluctuating hormones... and this happens to both men and women!). Whatever the case, it would certainly be beneficial to keep the theatrics to a minimum. Going over-the-top can spice up your life but it also can cause unnecessary stress. When you're on the verge of freaking out, take a deep breath and consider how things fit into the big picture. Is it really worth it?

Was She Or Wasn't She?

jennie and i went to journey of hope tonight, leaving jackson and big tex home to play a game of battleship.

we hadn't been to our grief support group for a month, so there were new faces.

in my adult group were two women i hadn't met before and one i've gotten really close to.

pettygrudger

Creepy!!! Well, at least this woman was smart enough to get her son to a support group instead of encouraging more personal study & service time!

Who knows - perhaps the angels in heaven were guiding this woman to your particular group for you to administer an appropriate witness - scarier things have happened.
