Sorry for your pain.
I'ts better to have one real friend than one thousand conditional friends!
the drama continues, i log on to facebook this morning and notice that i have about 20 some odd personal messages from people calling me an apostate to they will return to me when i return to jehovah.. all of this based upon my brother informing others that i have "apostate thoughts".
my mother also encourage long-time famil friends to "unfriend" me because i have taken my stand on the side of satan... wow.
don't you just love this international brotherhood.
Sorry for your pain.

all is well and good in my life right now :) with one small catch... i have a secret that i have hidden from my girlfriend.. for the first time since coming out of the borg, i have found romance.
i was lucky to meet a girl called romilda (name has been changed), and we get on like a house in fire.
we have been in a relationship for a few days now, but some of my friends have pointed out that i should be honest with her and be straight about my sexuallity.
You should be honest and tell her.
A few years ago my neighbor put his house up for sale. The house sold, but not yet closed. One day we were in our yard when a realtor drove up and then another car with a young man, the both went into the house next door. We did not think anything of it since the for sale sign was still in the yard.
About 10 minutes later, my neighbor drove up, came over and we chatted for a few minutes, then we said something about the showing of his house, he looked a bit surprised... walked over to his house, went in, and to his surprise, there was the young guy on the floor letting the realtor enter the back door.
Needless to say this freaked him out and he went off on them doing the dirty in his house. Turns out the realtor had a wife and children at home but also liked men and would often do this in houses that he knew were sold. How would this guys wife feel if she didn't know he was bi?
Would you want something like this to happen to your new friend years down the road?
Be honest and tell her the truth even if she leaves. Not telling her is selfish and dishonest on your part.
is anyone able to post this years dc badge for printing?.
i'm a man with a plan .
mawahhhhhhh!.
Just go directly to the lost and found when you get there and there will be dozens of badges. Take one and then put a sticker over the name with another name.
being very interested in psychology i read a book as a teenager and re-read it last year called " gestalt therapy verbatim " by frederick perls m.d.
ph, d. .
it deals with dreamwork therapy in which he conducted seminars helping people to re-connect with subconscious parts of themselves by recounting their dreams .
Interesting about dreams. I almost never can remember my dream, but I don't do a very good job of trying to either. I had a dream last night that I didn not even remember until I saw this post.
I was climbing up high on a mountain with my sons, one lost his footing and fell hundreds of feet to the ground. I watched in horror as this happened. There was some sort of slide at the top but was very hard to get to, I made it and managed to slide down to the bottom.
When I got to the bottom, my son was alive, but he could not remember things. He did not know who Tommy Lee Jones was. Why Tommy Lee Jones? I have no idea, have not watched any of his movies lately, he has not been in the news, etc.
I then woke up.
What does this mean?
if he created them, then he would have had to use divine intervention to protect people from eating them or burning them.
even after being told not to and passing that knlowedge on, small children could inadvertently get into poison berries or mushrooms.
what about bacteria that causes extreme stomach problems like giardia?
I've got to get showered and out to drink and gamble today.
Wow, I didn't know that christ was a gambler. I would think christ could beat the house every time.
in just the several months i've been lurking here, i have benefited from many of the posters comments and viewpoints.
this is truly a special place for the unique community that has been created here.. after years of holding off my exit from the org (that may be another post) i recently became officially out (by letter of da), but it was a very difficult process as many of you know.
thankfully, i now have my wife (was also a witness) onboard and we support each other.
Welcome!
i never mind seeing the witnesses on the ministry.
but whenever i see this one guy i want to run him over.
its always on a wednesday when i'm driving on the school run.
I like the idea of zipper head elders.... just not worth going to prison over.
i have seen debates and shizzle about god or not god etc etc.. i was even confronted by an aggressive and trheatening muslim in the street, who was angry that i wanted proof that god existed.
he ranted on a load of old b0110cks about 'hell' and stuff.
finally he yelled at me: 'do you want god to write your name in the sky?
Just looking in to see if anyone proved God exists yet. Looks like no.
Maybe God did exist at one time billions of years ago, but blew himself up during the big bang.
Maybe god is dead.

There is one huge difference, at Apple stores, I always see lots of people and long lines to talk to associates.

:" the sparlockian voice".
yes, this serious group of anti's , that either want to discuss reform with or annihilate the wts has provided more fodder.
I don't know too much about Kelly. Can you sum up who he is?
I was wondering if he is any relation to Keith Kelly (once a WT heavy)?
