Did anyone really ever study?

by freedom96 in

i know we were taught to study all the wts stuff.

prepare for each meeting, prepare for service, (gotta know the articles) etc.

i mean with all the personal study to do, how could anyone have time for newspapers, novels etc.

i have only just registered at this forum and i would like to know if there are any ex jw's that live in or close to canberra, australia.. i have been shunned by all family and friends because i left the organisation (not disfellowshipped at this stage but won't be long) and i finding it hard to cope with.

i am sorry to be down but i miss all my family and friends and would love to make new friends that know what i am going through.

my boyfriend is very understanding but gets frustrated as he doesn't know why my family are doing this to me.. this sounds like a whingy post but i promise you, i am not normally like this.

To all U.K. posters....

something i've always wanted to do is take some trip overseas to another country.

england has always been my first choice.. now i'm in a position to actually take a vacation in england.

i looked at some prices on expedia.com for airline/hotel combos for a week's trip to england and what i found made me very hopeful about going.. i tentatively "planned" the trip on the website for around the last part of february or the first part of march since that would be in the "slow" season at work and they could spare me.

MY DOG-MY BEST FRIEND SKIPPY

by QUEENIE in

i turned 56 this last birthday but i still remember skippy -- he has been in doggy heaven so i believe for 40 years.

he came to live with us as a wiggly puppy newly weaned of 6 weeks old and linda was only 4-1/2 human years old..he was a cute fox terrier and like i said he was my friend my best friend till he passed away at 12 yrs old and i was a senior in high school..i sat with him just him and i holding his dear sweet paw in my human hand -- until he drew his last breathe hard to catch one at that as he had pneumonia..he was there 4 me always---he was there when i got home from school except 4 times he got out of the yard and made his rounds visiting all his girl dog friends but he made up for it cuz on the weekends he definately was there when i got back from going out in that forced door to door group activity there wa no one in the b.s.

group i was thrilled to be with except one little girl 9 years younger named donna f. i liked playing with her and sometimes got invited over to their house and/or out to eat by her mom pat..donna was dfd when she was 16 and now 38 yrs later she is still dfd and we are still in touch..i always was jealous of skippy he did not have to go to meetings / assemblies or out in door to door with the group..i would have loved to spend all those hours with my dog and my best friend skippy.. when i do my booklet i will tell much more about skippy--this is just to wet your interest and want a copy of it...and until then (((((((((healing hugs))))))) queenie
