  Dan,

  I da'd this past fall and things are getting better and better all the time. I still haven't been able to look at any other religions ( and I doubt I ever will), but I am learning that there are many good, loving, christian types out there.
  And you know what?
  Whether they read the bible or not, they're doing things that make me feel there is hope out there. They are living the christian life, not just going to a church and following rules.
  I'm just working on cleaning up the negative attitude I developed as a witness viewing the world through gray colored glasses. I no longer want fear and guilt to guide my relationship with my heavenly father.
  YOu will feel better in time.
  You will make new friends, you will learn new things, make good use of your time and find ways to feel happy and successful in life.
  It just takes time and people to talk to, even if it's something as simple as this forum and chatroom.

  I hope you continue to talk to us and share your feelings. We've all been there to one degree or another and we want to help. I've enjoyed your posts and look forward to hearing more from you.

  Dakota:
  I used to always wear White Shoulders, it's one of my favorites.

  Muguet de Bois was another and I've recently had a sample of Tova Night and it's really nice too.
  I can't take real strong perfumes, makes me nauseous. I love nice, clean smells. Vanilla is wonderful. Remember Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies always rubbed vanilla or lemon verbena behind her ears, LOL.

  Oh, and they say the most sexual scent to stimulate a man's interest is cinnamon. So girls, don't forget to make up a batch of cinnamon rolls when you're trying to impress the new guy at work!

  My Crazy Mother!

  here i thought i was going to get through the memorial season in peace this year.. how wrong i was!.

  was this supposed to be a memorial invitation?.

  yesterday i got an unexpected phone call from my mom.. i said hi and asked her how she was.. she said not very good.. i told her i was sorry to hear that and that i was concerned about her health problems and asked if she had had any tests done or gotten results.. she said no thats not why she wasnt doing well.. i could tell from the tone of her voice that this wasnt going to be pretty.. she told me that the reason she wasnt doing well is because the memorial was coming up,.

  What a good heading.
  How many of us are where we are today (having grown up in a cult) because of our "crazy mothers"?
  You were too kind and patient with her, but she is your mom. (((((((((((((Ranchette)))))))))))))))))))
  My mom started asking me if I wanted to go to the memorial with her. I dodged it by saying I wasn't thinking about it this year, being newly da'd and all, maybe next year. She got a very sad look on her face, but then she switched the conversation over to her other love, QVC, the home shopping channel.

  More than ever I see her as a crazy woman struggling to have some meaning in life. Thank God I left the jw's when I did or that might have been me someday.

  Gift of the cow

  i know this is off topic, but i couldn't help myself.... http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_389070.html.

  cow urine pushed as health cure in india.

  hindu nationalists in india have launched a marketing exercise to promote cow's urine as a health cure.. they say the urine, being sold for 30p a bottle, can be used for ailments ranging from liver disease to obesity and even cancer.. .... as i see this as an opportunity for shameless self promotion... i would like to point out the bumper sticker on my car: "religion stops a thinking mind" (a spoof on the abortion bumper sticker).

  Don't they include cow's urine in some beauty products? I mean, there are some pretty gross ingredients in some of those "skin creams" and even makeup, sick. But, then again, if it works, who cares?

  Happened at my old hall (when I was a teen), many times and made us walk out one time. The sister was given some counsel about it as it made many people uncomfortable to hear her beating her 1 year old like that. They needed to get her tubes tied. Last I heard, she had several other children as well. Poor things.

  The worst part is none of the adults doing anything about it.

  I was just wondering what plans or ideas the rest of you have for the night of the memorial. Do any of you observe it at home? Do you partake now?

  Curious to know what your alternatives are...

  Sharing My Joy

  by Sherri in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've not posted here for a long time, nor have i kept up even with browsing around, but i had a sudden urge to share my joy with the only group of people who might possibly understand how much this means to me.. i left the jws about 15 years ago, of course losing basically everyone i was close to in the process.

  over the years, i've never forgotten my old friends.

  sometimes i dream about them, and when i wake up i feel bad for hours, missing them and knowing that they are as good as dead to me.. i visited my family in october 2001 and my brother told me he had run into one of my old friends in a bar.

  That's fantastic news!
  I too have a close friend by my side again and we're going out Thursday night (the memorial) to celebrate our new freedom together.
  Have a great time and congrats on the renewal of a good friendship.

  Peter,

  We never know what we'll be into. We might just want to share a room with a nice couple or have the whole apostofest gang spend the night in our room. Time and the proper beverages will tell the story when we get there!

  See how sweet and innocent we are, we won't bite, promise!
