dang!.
things happened with my mom (dad couldn't get back from his out of town job) and i ended up being guilted into going to the memorial with her after all.
at least she agreed to take the kids home with her afterwards so my friend and i could still go out for a few drinks afterwards (which were much needed after that experience).. i'm da'd so many there smiled when they saw me and it immediately froze on their faces as they tried to look the other way.
Latte,
That was me the last two years attending. Ankle length skirts and various plain sweaters were my standard dress. It was after being talked to about my short dresses that I just switched to easy grab n go sort of outfits for the hall. Besides, I could wear stretch pants underneath the skirts in the winter so I didn't freeze to death out in service or on the way to meetings.
Now I like to dress business-sexy when I can.
TR: yes, he seemed to lose his thought and did go pale. I thought he was just nervous when he saw me, I never t hought of anything else happening, LOL.
you pig, :-)

Well,

I'm da'd so many there smiled when they saw me and it immediately froze on their faces as they tried to look the other way. One family that I had been very close to turned their back to me when I smiled and said hi. No big deal, I just felt sorry for them because I know they are good people who think they're doing the right thing.
Guess where we had to sit? Yeah, the very front row, LOL. I had on a very short dress with black high heels that I crossed and uncrossed much to the speaker's discomfort, he he. I have to admit, I didn't dress at all like a dub should (naughty me). But, respectable elsewhere of course.
Anyway, looks like I still haven't been able to totally break free from that icy grip that just keeps hanging on. Do I feel bad that I gave in to my mom? Not really. She's always been there for me and I know how she is feeling about this so I figured in my mind, it's one night and I showed some respect for her and her beliefs. Maybe it will rub off and she'll show me the same respect (hahahahaha). It was a good reminder of why I don't belong to that group anymore. I feel so free to realize that anyhow.
For all who got guilted into going, Cheers!

He always seemed so genuinely lovable and had such a contagious sense of humor, even off the stage.
So young too.

what is your favorite perfume?
how do you like to smell[lol], and how do you like your significant other to smell?
is scent a sexual stimulant for you?
mmmm, pumpkin pie! Any sort of yummy food would be great perfume.
licorice, yuck.
lavender, eeehhh, it's ok.
cucumber, yes, I love it. I've had some lotions and skin care that were cucumber scented, so fresh smelling.
Hey, anyone like the scent of tanning oil? When I have the winter blues I like to rub some tropical tanning oil or lotion on to remind myself of a warm day at the beach.
va you said to me: .
i'd appreciate it if you didn't discourage me in my faith.
i already have a struggle with it and am trying as best i can to strengthen my heart.
Hey Violet,
I don't know you very well, but I hope you find what you're looking for and that if you do go back to the kingdom hall that you don't lose as many years as I did trying to convince myself that it was the truth.
I just saw this post and felt a horrible feeling in my heart for you. You're young, don't give up any dreams, ok?
Sorry if I'm out of line for commenting in this post. I've just been reflecting on a lot of negative crap from my "jw" days this evening and it just seems crazy for someone to think of returning to it all.
Snap out of it! lol
wish you well,
Anne
being raised by a single mom was bad enuff for me, a hard headed boy.
add to that a mom that was in and out of the jw's all my life and you can see where the potential for disaster for me came from.. none of you know me, i just found this site while doing research on the death of someone in california (ex-jw).
i like what i see, for the most part.. i was raised from a young age with the threat of death in 1974-75 if i wasnt a good witness.
Hi Animal!
Hey, you've come a long way and it's great to have you here. You're story is something many can relate to and it helps new ones to see that they aren't alone and that things can get better, no matter how much your crazy parents try to muck things up.
I hope we see more from you, sounds very intriguing!
Anne
