40 Years Ago Today
by RAYZORBLADE inon september 8, 1963 my sister, carmen elizabeth was born.. she was, and would remain the only girl in our family.
she was so adorable, brown haired, brown eyed and had a great smile.
she was less than a year younger than i, and we were like the 'best of pals' as kids.. she'd allow me to put beans in her ears, or get her to put peas in her nose or carrots on top of her teeth, and make me laugh.. she was born in cape breton, nova scotia.

Raised a JW... did you have a childhood?
by ignorance is strength inpersonally i was quite serious at a young age.. there was no "boys will be boys" growing up.
personally i feel kind of cheated out of a childhood by an organization that forced you to think that "everything around you was going to be gone soon so you better grow up, start publishing, and giving talks.
" did any of you experience a less than stellar childhood, especially because of the lack of holidays and socially-isolating religion gowing up?

If you only focus on the negatives, you'll never ever see the beauty that is out there.
Smack does have a very good point.
For the majority of us, we did have a fairly good childhood, even if we were raised JWs. Sure, I had a crappy childhood, even if I wasn't a JW I still would have had a crappy childhood, as would some others amongst us.
But if we are going to focus on the negative all the time, as many of these types of threads do, then we will tend to look at life in a negative way. We will not be able to see the positives that we did have - and if we are completely honest with ourselves, there are alot more positives than negatives.

At the age of 7 I knew the difference between chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
I knew how to get to various parts of large State hospitals on my own (though I never had to).
When I was 11, I saw my mother die in front of me.
No, I don't think I had much of a childhood. JW stuff had less to do with it than other circumstances going on in my life at the time.

Considering that 2 computers containing top secret information were stolen by 2 men of middle-Eastern appearance from Sydney's Customs Office last Wednesday, I'm a little wary of what might happen from now on in Australia.

Hi back to you sweet lady I've been pretty quiet whilst suffering and recovering from this rotten flu I've had all week I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
I'd use the chance to maybe show him that there is life beyond JWs. Dating a non-JW is a big thing - he can't be fully believing in it if his mind can rationalise dating a non-JW. It's a start anyway.
As for your co-workers not knowing you were a JW, maybe this is the chance to say, hey, yes I was one of them but I managed to break free of it all, and so can this guy. And if you don't like him sitting next to you, maybe he won't like sitting next to a Df'd person, and he'll move

Ozziepost you are a good, good man.....
by caspian ini just read a pm that ozzie sent me, although i won't reveal it's contents.
it made me realize the great unheralded sacrifices that ones like ozzie have made on leaving the borg.
the strength of character ozzie has is a good example for all of us just starting out on the same road he has walked.
