That was very nice, new castle.
Yes, please keep in touch with her. She needs a friend.
yesterday i saw an old friend from a long time ago, like when we were kids.
she responded a shy hello.
when i asked how she was doing she responded that she was disfellowshipped.

2 for me---the doctrine of the "faithful and discreet slave" and the whole "blood thing"......and you?????
?
Besides their claim that they are the only annointed and the only true Christians, I think it is silly that women are not allowed to wear pants suits at the meetings. Their reason was that they "didn't want to offend anyone" by showing sisters wearing pants at the meetings. And at the same time they didn't think they were offending anyone at all by keeping the pedophiles. HOW STUPID!
c'mon now, there has to be something... the green carpet or the hard seats?
barn dances?
large social gatherings?
Ugh, I don't miss anything at all. First of all I was not in the truth. It wasn't the truth. And as far as the people, since now I know what kind of people they are, I do not miss them. I'm just so glad and happy that I'm out of there. I just wished that I got of it sooner, though.
sometimes when i log on to jwd i go directly to "jokes and humor" because i know that there will be something there that will crack me up.
i love to laugh and i think humor is great therapy especially when alot of us have been through so much.
its great that we can make fun of ourselves and can find the humour in many of our experiences.
You know, crazy151drinker was quite funny, too. When I just joined this board, I always looking forward to read his posts and of course, Farkel's as well. And there was a female poster whose name I can't remember. She reminded me of Lucy from I Love Lucy, and she was funny, too.
And yes, Valis and elsewhere, how can I forget you guys.
it was a good show: always making me laugh.
i'll miss all friends: joey, chandler, ross, monica, rachel and phoebe.
My favorite (the funniest) moment of Friends is when Ross tried a pair of leather pants and having a hard time with them at his date's bathroom. But my favorite friend is Joey: a funny wanna-be actor with a big heart.
My husband and I have been watching the DVDs: Season 1 - 7, again. We are now in the middle of the Season 5. I thought that show was one of the decent ones in these days. I don't like those faux-reality shows. I have to say that "Friends" reall taught me how to be a friend: caring, loving, and supportive no matter what.
Gosh! I'm going to miss them a lot.
yesterday was the wedding.
all five of my siblings and their spouses and children, my mom and dad and their spouses, even my three daughters were invited.
but not i. she is the only one who is jw.. they sent the invitation to the girls in their name only to my address.
I am so sorry about that sapphire.
But if she is the only jw in the family, how com the rest of your family let you be treated like that? If that was my sister, I would say that I would come in the beginning and sit IN FRONT ROW with other family members. If she gives me an evil look, I'll share that moment with other friends and family, who are not jws.
Did you do something to her in the past? Arg, I get upset whenever jws do unreasonable things like that.

i am new here and i have never been a jw, however by boyfriend has been one for most of his life.
he is now kicked out of the church.
i have to deal with his pain over the experiences he tells me about in regard to his association with this church and i don't know how to help him.
Welcome to the board, candles!
Your boyfriend needs a lot of help and support. And I'm so glad to see that you are willing to help him out. Encourage him to join this board, please. I have had so much help and support from this board, and I'm sure you and your boyfriend will, too.

hello to all on this website.
a brief intro...i am 30, was df'd at 26 (on my b-day no less) should have been df'd a long time ago.
i have no complaints about being out of the organization now, however the initial shock going through the loss of friends and family took some time to get over.
Welcome to the board. If you have to go back to Iraq, please come back safely.
I'm from California, too. Which part are you from?
left 2 years ago and surf nearly every night.
i was an elder for 11 years did circuit assembly items etc.
in fact i did everything the society said.
Steve is right. Count your blessing, littlemike. Many jws are living miserable lives, and they think they are living happy lives.
You are now free. Your life just have begun. Make new friends, and never lose your Christian qualities. Don't think of your old friends too much. See how they treat you just because you are not in their organization anymore. All my so called, "worldly friends", treat me nicely whether I'm a jw or not. If they leave you, leave them. Believe it or not they are talking behind your back while you are missing their friendship. They are not worth it at all.
Good luck on your new beginning and welcome to the board!!!
