folks,.
on other threads, we have discussed our favorite: pizza toppings, chinese food, sandwich, candy, and desserts.
so now my friends, it is time to address the very pregnant question: what is your favorite italian food.
The most delicious Italian thing I could ever imagine is
ANTONIO SABATO JR.
For food, I love ANYTHING remotely Italian or Greek. I love Stuffed Manicotti and Gryos (I know their greek but yummmmmmy!)

Puuleeze!! You know as well as anyone that there would be shock, uproar and whispers. The attendants would probably look to an elder for permission to remove him.
Please use honesty when posting! If you seriously believe what you wrote then you are not a JW.

well if you tell them beforehand, they will promptly remove you.
I guess when they pass it, if you take a sip and a bite, they will go into convulsions and promptly remove you.
Either way, let us know what you do!!!

what did you give up to become a witness?.
was it something you are still glad about or something you regret.. i'll start of with things i gave up.
(even though i was brought up in the truth talks and the mags made you guilty about certain things).
WOW Neon..
That is awesome!!!
Good for you

it is 3 pm est, on vh-1, they are showing pop-up video.
they are showing all the jacksons.
they just showed la toya.
The Jacksons..
I always wondered, were they weird before they became JW's, or did they get weird BECAUSE of the JW'S?
Just a thought..
and not play cards? Freaky! I was allowed to play with cards (one of the rare things that was allowed in our home).
That LaToya is loony though!

WHAT DID I GIVE UP?
my childhood.
memories of celebrating holidays with my dad (who died before I left the Org).
a college education.
plans for a future in THIS life.
any sense of 'normalcy'.
my self-esteem.
independant thought.

ok this is late, but i'm slow... this first one is with my wife and i, she looks happy for a change.. .
here is just the tree.
never squat with yer spurs on
*whew* LB.. boy you are gorgeous!!! And your wife aint too bad either...
I wish I could put up my pics of our first Christmas tree. But I dont have a scanner.
LB, out of everyone here I can relate to you the most, I think. I too 'faded' away, and enjoyed my first holiday this past Christmas (except for Halloween, which I half-heartedly agreed to take my son trick or treating at the mall).
Isnt it a wonderful feeling? Even though it was fun, I kept getting feelings of guilt that would stab me once in awhile. Guess since I didnt celebrate for 28 years, it might take some time to get used to it?
Like I told my hubby.. I spent my life not feeling 'normal'.. and it feels DAMN good now!!!!!
Love,
Tera

since this sites conception into reality, has there been any outside interest from individuals within various professional bodies, i.e.
psychologists, lawyers and similar?.
any instances at all?
Well I wouldnt attempt to answer any of the questions but this one:
Finally, why is this site rated in the top 1000 websites internationally out of the 10's of millions websites?
I can only guess that this site is so popular because it is dealing with a religious group that professes total happiness and God's direct approval. When there are so many that have come to realize the 'truth' about the Truth, it goes without saying that there would be a phenomenal interest in their stories and fellowship.
