i was working.
i travel around in my work.
today i was in a mall.. a lovely young woman approached me, looked me in the eye and said she wanted to leave me with something...as she handed me a tract.. i looked at it searching for evidence it was jw.
hey swan, how ya been? you were one of the first people to talk to me here, and i will never forget the things you said to me with such clarity. good to see you.
I've been good, thank you for asking. Life just gets better and better. This board helps me keep it all in perspective.

i finished my spring semester of schooling!
yay!
i got a call from my sister saying that she was arrested and in jail for 3 days for domestic violence.
How cool that you got to spend time with your mother! This is a good step in the right direction on her part, and maybe she will continue to make further strides.

i can't understand why they have put this ad up on this site, as it is only people who are not jw who look at this site (and others) so why advertise "meet single jw just like you on this site".
i thought maybe it was for single ex jw, so went into that site, and low and behold it was for jw only.
they were saying something like this "... we would like to say thank you so much brothers for this site as i have meet my wife/husband etc ....and thank you so much jehovah..".
Dennis,
What a load of crap! Did you even read the previous posts before you posted, or did you just skim like you were preparing for the Watchtower Study? None of what you posted fits with what Barbie or any other person posted.
Just like a JW; quick to offer a Watchtower opinion, even if it is completely contrary to the situation.

You did fine.
i hope this thread receives a lot of responses.
not because i am egotistical.
heck, really, i like any sort of film.
The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert
I loved it because it was the perfect film for me at the perfect time in my life.

i having been "lurking" around here for about a month--right when i was disfellowshipped actually.
in a year long relationship--broke up-five months later had a bout of conscience and told on myself.
myself and my ex are disfellowshipped and now most of my former group of "friends" are getting in trouble.
Welcome dfd!
i am hoping a little balance is allowed here, or at least the coin's flip side.
this is my story so far, but i am fairly sure it is going to end up a bit differently than most i have read on your site.
the brothers couldn't help my husband, he didn't want help.
Whether you go back or stay here is your choice, but either way, I think you should go to a counselor. It sounds like you have a lot of unresolved issues from the past and a history of poor choices. Perhaps a social worker or psychologist would be able to help you in ways that the JWs and this board have not.
Good luck to you on your journey!

i have been reading over everyones posts from the dc and it made me remember a few things:.
the drama: they definately were discouraging going to collage.
timothy had a friend named jonathon that pursued "worldly goals"- getting an education, getting a good job and getting married and having kids.
I got the feeling they were like parents yelling at their kids to listen to them.
Which is why I expected and accepted it as a kid. However, when I got to be an adult I began to resent it, A LOT! It came to the point where I didn't even take time off from work to go the DC on the weekdays. I would go to work and then go to the DC on the weekend. I figured if I had to get yelled at, I might as well get paid for it.

i would love to see jws "get out of her" and save anyone from getting involved with the witnesses.
what do you do to make this a possibility?
I think the Vulcans said it best.
Live long and prosper!

i had this idea after reading the other thread about the lottery.
i've only done the lottery a few times ever and am always grossly over-optimistic that i will win, but here goes... .
uk national lottery sat june 05 (2 lines) .
Some people say that the lottery is a tax on the stupid, but I still play a dollar occasionally just for the fun of it. It's entertainment. And what is worse, spending a buck on a lottery ticket, or putting $20, $50 or $100 into the contribution box?
