i was raised a poor white child in the deep south...ok, florida, where i still am.
i was the typical slightly self righteous witness, miss goody goody, left school at 16 to pioneer, which i did for 4 years, met a guy and married him.
he had 2 kids from a previous marriage and we had 2 kids of our own.
Bonnie Michelle,
Thank you for your positive words. I hope you are totally purging those feelings of not being good enough! Healthy self esteem is the key to real happiness, IMHO.
I am glad you too are enjoying your freedom. I greatly look forward to hearing more from you and getting to know you better.

here's a pic of my family outside our house in weston super mare, england.. .
according to jehovah's witnesses, we are all going to be destroyed at armageddon for various unspecified misdemeanors.
excuse me for asking this, but isn't this just a little excessive?.
Eman,
Nice Looking Family
And no, no "God" in their "right" mind would destroy millions for the reasons you state. But then, the "God" of the Bible and most Christian religions never claimed to be in his right mind, did he? Only omnipotent. Big difference, if you ask me.
Smiling and enjoying this beautiful day!

a great big hi -- to all my fans and loving buddies!
im baaaaaaaaack!.
i know ... i know ... i was disfellowshipped by simon for "creating" harlotta for the fun john cleese thread.
Tina,
I love ya like a sister but I gotta tell ya:
Some of us like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Lord knows I've screwed up enough times in my life that I know how it feels.
He made an apology..it was accepted by Simon...I personally believe that many times you will GET from people exactly what you EXPECT from them...so I choose tolerance when I can.
Is there a chance I will get burned with this attitude? Hell Yes! Will I still choose to take that chance? Hell Yes! But I'm a big girl, and I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I am sorry you have been harassed by posters' in the past, I hope it doesn't continue. If it does, I'll be there to help defend ya babe, just like you would for me!

as a sit writing this i will say that i am possibly going through one of the toughest times of my life right now.
i have recently told the elders of my congregation that i have identified myself as "queer" and it has been one of the toughest roads i have ever had to walk.
i am not trying to offend anyone on the boards by telling you this but i feel that it's important to live honestly and my decission to "come out" to people in the congregation is one based on trying to live honestly.
Dear Preston,
I am so sorry you are having such a hard time right now.
((((((((((((Preston))))))))))))))
The only thing I can add to what others have said is that...being true to yourself IS the most important thing...and you are courageous.
The self loathing and guilt the borg has made you feel about yourself is FALSE...IF there is a God...he made you just the way you are, and would love and accept you that way.
You will find people who will support you and love you for who you are, and I hope that begins for you right here!

several have made outright statements and others have suggested that the society's negative position on higher education has changed.
'the society does not discourage higher education where i live.
' worse, 'apostates have made it all up--the society has never discouraged education.
Nope Maximus,
Sounds like the same old schtinky schtuff to me! peeeeewwwww [8>]
That is the thing that still has the ability to cause pain in my life now, the fact that I didn't go to college when I should have. You just touched a sore spot. OUCH!
But at least my kids will go...so hopefully I can stay with them instead of in a nursing home, eh?

Interesting Prisca,
LOLOL @Logical....If this is the afterlife, does that mean all us married folks are no longer married?

jst2laws is toast!.
after 29 years i am officially no longer serving as an elder.
those who knew i was still serving would only be surprised that i took so long.
Just2laws,
I would give you a hug if you were here. I think you would have been one of the kind and caring elders that I always appreciated, they didn't seem to be that numerous!
I will say for those in your congregation...I am sure they will miss you sorely, as they will now be left in the hands of those less qualified and less loving...what a shame. But I am so happy for you that you are on the road to recovery! Good luck with your family!
Hee Hee, we can say that now, you know.

Crazy Pete,
Yes, Simon is definitely a CLASS ACT, but your open apology and acceptance was also.
So let the leg pulling begin! I guess you have to get Gopher's first since he asked first....maybe you could do both of ours at the same time? Gopher is a buddy of mine, he wouldn't mind.
