Count me as a definite interested party. The Luxor is my fav place to stay, will check out some prices. Maybe they are all lower now, that would be cool.

And you can't go to Vegas without gambling! Geez, what would be the purpose of going?

I AM NO LONGER A JW STATISTIC

by Cassiline in

this has taken a lot of courage to post.

my life with the jws has been one hardship after another.

i am sharing this to help others see that jws claim to be loving and forgiving people while they are not.

You are such a sweetheart. I am appalled at the things that have happened to you. I am also greatly impressed with what you have become. Essie said it well...and you my dear are no diamond in the rough either...brilliantly faceted is more like it.

Please don't let the negatives on the board get to you. Unfortunately
they are everywhere, but have no power over you if you don't let it. Thank you for sharing, by doing that you have unwittingly empowered others...and that is a beautiful thing to come from all your suffering.

Love, Tracy

Anyone Remember The Chaperone Thing?

by Englishman in

back when i was a lusty young lad of 17, a certain sister caught my eye - i swear that she could make her eyelashes beckon - and i duly decided to pay court to said sister.. however, it was not to be so simple.

round about that time, it would have been mid-60's, the wtbts were having a real downer on anyone who wore a short skirt (not me), danced the twist or grew their hair (me) over their ears.. but, the worse thing was still to come.

folks, i am talking about chaperoning!

think41self

Well,

The chaperoning thing was alive and well in 1984 when I was dating husband #1. I was the good little pioneer girl, so I was told I should set a "fine example". He was 31 years old, with two little kids, and we even were "talked" to by my uncle the elder for going to the park and stuff with the kids. Then, we were seen going to play racquetball in the middle of the afternoon alone! What sinners we were. When my uncle talked to me about that one...I kinda lost it. I said "Do you honestly think we're going to jump each others' bones in the bright afternoon sun, after playing a vigorous game of racquetball...all sweaty and smelly?" Please. And then I told him I didn't care if that bothered other people...it was their problem, not mine. Well, we managed not to disgrace ourselves and they let us get married in the hall, so I guess we passed the test.

while out for my usual liquid lunch, a cup of new englands finest pee week coffee and a pack of grape bubble yumm..... a thought accured to me.. i'm a die hard avid x-files fan.. i can relate to mulder.

i can definately relate to that busty red head partner of his, scully.. my thought was this..... in the last 10 months of digging into wt stuff and opening my eyes to the wretched viel of hypocrisy i've been lead by all my life..... am i really that much different than mulder?

seeking "truth", looking for the hidden agendas, and conspiricys?.

think41self

Add my name to the avid XFiles fans!

I like Mulder's character...and Scully was a good foil for him...he would believe anything and she questioned everything. Love it.

there is this great big hole in my heart.

he started acting poorly last wed. he stopped eating friday and went downhill steadily.

i raced him to the vets.

think41self

Aww Trot

I'm SO sorry about your kitty. I absolutely love cats. Have had them all my life. I've lost several of them over the years and it never gets any easier. But I wouldn't give up the companionship for anything. And I think, they lived a good life with me, and were happy. So in my opinion it was worth it.

Again, I'm sorry for your loss sweetie. for you

My Take On Anonimity.

by Englishman in

jw
friends

this is just a few thoughts that i have regarding the subject of anonimity.

yes, i am making this post after being in the chat room with several others including kent and prisca.

it seemed to me that kent posted prisca's pic mainly out of sheer mischievousness and was quite taken aback at her very real distress at having her identity exposed.

eman,

Nice post. I happen to agree with your thoughts about our emotional growth being hindered by our fears of being discovered. It was certainly true in my case.

I also agree with some of the comments from others about the cost they would have to bear. Like all personal growth, it comes if and when we are ready for it. And of course it is a personal decision. If we are the ones who have to pay the price, then we should be the ones deciding the right time.

I thought good points were made by all.

i thought i would share it with everyone here.

the first few paragraphs are below with a link to the rest of the article.. -doug (freepeace).

Hey FreePeace/Doug,

I found your article insightful and very timely. Actually, I thought it was a masterful commentary on the current situation facing us all.

Of course I'm a little prejudiced but so what? You are a wonderful writer...and I don't care who knows that I think it!
