that was my husband's doing.

"Not believing is not the same as not knowing."
i wanted to introduce myself real quick.
i was raised as a witness from the age of 10. i am now 23 yo.
i was disfellowshipped at the age of 19 for marrying a man who was studying.
Welcome Sweet1
Also welcome to Eldersdaughter and The Recordcollector
We all have unique stories and experiences, but the common bond of course is having been, or caring about, a JW. Lots and lots of common ground there.
I hope you all find kindred spirits here, and get some of the support and encouragement you need. Keep posting and let us hear from you!

"Not believing is not the same as not knowing."
well i must admit that i have been viewing many different stories here in the forum and as i sit here and type mine, my eyes are welling up with tears.
they are not tears of sadness but rather tears of joy to finally find a "home' where i can come to, to talk to people who share the same life history as myself.
i was raised in the "truth".
Hi Precious
Welcome to this board. You will find many here who share your beliefs about God...many who don't. But it doesn't matter. You may even find discussions with those who don't share your beliefs are very stimulating. You will find most are supportive, which is great. Stick around and have a good time, I know I have.

i wanted to let you all know that i will be staying away from my computer for some time so i won't be able to join the discussions on this board for a few weeks.
the chemo is sucking out loud and i need to try and focus myself on healing.
for those many of you who have emailed and called with your support, you will never know how much you have helped.
Take good care of yourself Jon
Think positive thoughts. Try not to worry or have any negatives. We will all be thinking about you and waiting to hear from you again.
Give this to Kevin for me and tell him to take care of himself too.
Tracy

Hi Ranchette,
Great letter! I thought it was good that you didn't try to put your own interpretation on it too much..just presented the facts and let them chew on that for awhile.
Let us know if you get any response, ok?

Thanks UB
I didn't think what you wrote was self-serving at all. We love you too
And while I don't think America or Americans are any better than anyone or anything else, it is nice to hear the words of support and friendship from our friends all over the world.

ok, i know that i'm not the only star trek geek out there.
i know tons of dubs (ex dubs) that love star trek because it's one of the only interesting shows that they are allowed to watch.. anyway, did you watch the first episode tonight?
i'm pretty sure with the one scene, that the dubs will be reproving some for masterbation tomorrow night.. oh and what's your favorite kingdumb song?
I enjoyed it, of course I was prejudiced...I love Scott Bakula from his Quantum Leap days...another great sci fi show.
The shower scene...nipple meld...ROTFLOL. I don't mind if they throw in a little steamy stuff...but they should be realistic. I mean, they were rubbing this "anti-bacterial" stuff all over themselves, yet they missed the most important parts? Come on!
