  2. friends

  this is my first post on this board even though i have been lurking for a looong time.... .

  i have just being told that the judicial committee has decided to disfellowship me and that i have a week to appeal if i decide to do so.

  the reason: "apostasy".

  Hey ((((Email)))

  I'm so glad that you felt comfortable enough to share your story here. I know that you've been struggling quite a long time with this and I'm sorry that you're having to go through what you've tried so hard to avoid.

  Someone mentioned that it's a good idea to get some new friends and I agree. Developing new friendships with people on the "outside" helps us know that we aren't really losing our sanity even though it may feel like it.

  Whatever you decide to do, please know that there are many here who can relate to what you're going through and support you through this painful process.

  hey ((((((dutchie))))))).

  i mentioned this in one of the other threads, but i don't know if you saw it.

  i wanted to publicly thank you for the lambs that you sent; they served a wonderful purpose and meant so much to me and the people i placed them in the fence for.

  Hey Beck

  Yes, it was definitely a GREAT day; a great trip all the way around.

  Dutchie,

  Perhaps not necessary, but I wanted you to know that your gesture was appreciated

  Thanks again,

  So Is It Jst2 Cool Britannia?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no no, not "cool" as in "kewl", but cool as in chilly and cold, unfriendly almost, like we brits are rumoured to be throughout the world.

  this is just an observation about how we perceive different groups of people.

  a few weeks back, i was enjoying an uproarious evening in the pub.

  LOL@ out and path

  Hmmm, dare I comment?? I agree with Out, tho...the Brits I've met seemed to have deep and passionate emotions, I think they are just used to guarding them rather more closely than some of us Americans (that would be those of us in the US, just to clarify ).

  I find cultural differences to be fascinating and am learning not to be so quick to judge others by my own standard of what constitutes "healthy" emotional behavior. There are just so many factors involved and who am I to judge??!

  One thing that I've noticed that seems to hold true with many of the Brits I've met, in RL or here on the board, is that they have a wonderfully dry sense of humor, which I love. Hey, make me laugh and I'll overlook just about anything!

  I Knew I Loved You

  by bikerchic in

  2. relationships

  i just heard this song today on the radio coming home from work.

  i remember when it first came out a couple of years ago and i couldn't listen to it.

  it was for me one of those songs that made me wonder why i couldn't have a love like that.

  (((((Bikerchic and Craig)))))

  I'm so happy for both of you; it's wonderful to fall in love with your best friend, unless it doesn't work out and then it can be devestating but I'm betting (and hoping!) that won't happen to you two. That song has a lot of meaning for me, as well. Thanks for sharing it and your happiness with us!!

I was very disappointed that you weren't able to be there and that I couldn't get to meet you as I was really looking forward to it.

  Thank you again from the bottom of my heart

  Wrong ASSumptions from apostates

  by bomatt6 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the apostates here have so many wrong assumptions.

  anyone that posts against them they assume is defending the society.. i'm neutral towards the society.

  i don't defend it nor do i attack it.

  However I do not like apostates because of their bad attitudes in that all that they do
  is attack the Society which solves nothing

  ROTFLMAO!

  Then WHY are you here?? Grow up.

  MUST CLERGY REPORT ABUSE IN YOUR STATE?

  by outnfree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in another thread, dungbeetle had the great idea that we should become activists at least in our own states (if not in all the states which do not require reporting) for mandatory clergy child abuse reporting.. watchtower has said that the elders will be ordered to report abuse in a clergy-mandated-reporting state.

  so why don't we do this...someone put up a list of all the remaining states that do not have this rule, and we start working on the legislators of those states to implement this rule or some version of it, and to close the loopholes and strengthen any existing rules.

  it will solve one problem that i can see.

  Hi again DANA! I echo your words... gonna remember this experience for a very long long long time! Can't wait for the NEXT one! Is that you in #12? Is that Alan F you're sitting on? He writes great stuff, but I never knew who he was

  Hey yourself Grits

  Yep, that's me sitting on Alan's lap I didn't even know he was there until we were leaving the restaurant! Poor Alan, I'm sure he thinks I'm a nut case, b/c when I found out who he was, I yelled "ALAN!", grabbed him and hugged him, then insisted I get a pic on his lap LOLOL. 5 minutes later, we were outta there!!

  I don't know who the man is in the pic with Jst2Laws; I remember seeing him but I never did find out who he was. Hopefully, someone else can tell us.
