Sanchy; Whatever decision you make, I sincerely hope it all works out well for you and your family.
I echo stuckinarut2's post above ^^^^^ ... 'The only power they have over you, is that which you allow'.

Got my JC cancelled... (at least for now)
by Sanchy inso my wife and i have been in the process of fading for a few months now as per my original post here.
about a week ago, i was browsing some ex-jw facebook groups when i saw a post that linked to the crisis of conscience book.
i said "f@(k it" and hit share on it.. a few hours later, i get a long text letter from my mom (who was a fb friend of mine) telling me the typical "good luck finding friends in the world" and how we have "nothing in common anymore"; basically, it was a 'farewell' text.

Describe your witness self, then describe yourself now.
by The Rebel inmy witness self :-very hollow, slightly lofty, characteristically judgemental, overwhelmingly convincing.. my non-witness self:- and in my imperfect way no longer taking the passive attitude to reality, and most importantly no longer feeling an outsider with my " true" friends..

As a witness - suffered with anxiety, stress, always on edge and continuously on the defensive.
Now - I like to think I'm the real me - the genuine article; 'what you see is what you get'.
(Note: It hasn't been easy to get to where I currently am, and after many years it is still a work in progress).

Woman's Purpose
by StopTheTears ini'm probably going to say some things here that will disappoint many.
there are some that may look back over the years and say "man i really blew it" i'm not writing the following to scold for failures, but rather to help those who are young enough to put into practice what god wills for their life, and also to those of us who are in our middle years that still have time to change some things, in order to please god and find a peace that only being in his will can bring.
first let me say that god didn't create man for you.

@ Simon
I rode bikes for about 10 years and it was a blast. I agree that you have more protection in a car than on a bike should you be involved in an accident however, don't let that put you off. If you haven't already done so, then I would encourage you to have a go at riding a bike.

Second in the Medal Table - Well Done TeamGB
by konceptual99 incan't believe it - gb is currently second in the medal table, with more golds and silvers combined than even china.
given the size of the nation it's an incredible achievement and we have won in some sports where other countries typically dominate.
i can't imagine we will stay in second but i am happy to enjoy the moment.. well done to the whole of team gb!.

Hi Stephanie
I'm no expert however, since your friend has always supported you from a distance, I would ask her the question; what has changed? Then you can take things from there.

The UK WTS companies' accounts documents for 2015 are currently available to download and here's information plus links
by AndersonsInfo inthe uk wts companies' documents for 2015 are currently free to download from the uk government's companies house website.
the person who sent me this information said that it appears they are testing a new form of the website, so access to documents may in the future revert to a pay per file system.
therefore, he advises getting copies of documents as soon as possible, as he doesn’t know when the testing phase will finish.

Why are the atheists on this site so hateful?
by HopeEverLasting inall us creationists try to do is offer true evidence that the one and only god is out there watching and looking down on us.
we present that certain scientists know the truth about god and that he is everything that we see from trees, life, weather, the air we breath, and even the most simple molecules.
but of course you atheists reject it because it is your nature to not be humble and see god because you want to rule your own life.

I've been following this discussion thread from the outset. So here's a possible solution;
Why not agree to disagree and move on !

I will share an experience with you.
Our only mode of transport that my GF (now wife) and I had at the time was my Kawasaki KZ550. Some nosey sister ratted us out to the elders because we rode the bike. So we decided that we weren't going to sit back and take this BS and went to an elder to defend our case. Looking back, it was ridiculous as we did nothing wrong. Anyway I digress. So we met with this elder, who in our estimate was one of the more reasonable one's. During the conversation I managed to sum-up a bit of backbone and asked the elder; Where do we put the chaperone? - the handlebars, fuel tank or the tail light? He looked at me with a stone face for a moment (believe me, I was 'bricking it' as I thought I went a bit too far - my GF looked at me aghast) then to his credit, the elder burst out laughing. Phew! He then said that if anyone else complains about us riding the bike we should come straight to him.
We never heard a thing more about it.. Ha ha.
