viv,
Thank you very much for your touching and sweet story.
Yes, it is a different world out there - in a good way, though. I, too, feel and have become closer to my non-witness family.
It is nice.
Best wishes,
SunshineToo
this is a rather sweet story, and i love telling it.
january this year was the time when i decided for sure that i would leave the witnesses.
i had made up my mind, had told the elders that my faith had died, and so i had made the ball for my df rolling.

i'm getting ready to go to the airport, and i just have to ask you something.. i just got 2 new cds: josh groban and journey.
josh groban is like andrea bocelli meets broadway.
and journey, even though the band looks wild, is pretty good, too, nice pop.

pedophile paradise.... too bad bill could not substanciate this accusation.... yes we do have pedophile in our ranks.... but bill 23,000 where the hell did you get that figure....(i want proof damnit).
yes we do have problems within the organisation.... yes, some elders have been on a power trip for a long time.... yes, there have been many doctrinal changes..... why would witnesses on certain countries allowed to vote why people in the us cannot even harbor.
the thought of voting.... i hope bill bowen does not get disfellowship...cause if he is he will no longer able to drum up supports among true diehard, dedicated witnesses to the cause.. most people up in here are deleberately bashing the organisation.... why?
O.K. You guys, please stop calling H.B. "a troll."
H.B., you want the WTS to reform? I'm sorry to say this, but I'm afraid you are becoming an apostate according to their book.
I can see that you are very frustrated and upset. It's o.k. Vent out here. You won't be able to do that at the KingdomHall or to other zealous Witnesses.

i'm new to this site, found it whilst looking at panarama web site.
are there many here from uk, even lancashire?
if so, please let me know as it would be nice to speak to some ex-witnesses in uk.
Wow, this is impressive, Valis.
Oh, by the way I'm not from UK. I just stopped by to say, "hi!".
i had the pleasure of adding jesika to my list last night and after the haze of the sake bombs parted, i had good thoughts of all the apostates/people from this board i have met.
if i left some of you off, feel free to rebuke me at any time and please remind me if we have met and i just couldn't remember.....i'm wondering if we have six degrees of bad association...if any of you lovely folks have met any of the folks on my list then lets play a game and see how many names we can come up with and add your own list too.
megadude, elsewhere, gopher, lauralisa/evan , comf, billygoat, mozzerforlife, xena, tyydyy, sixofnine, gilwarrior, roo, rekless, desertflower, peaceloveharmony, joannadandy, eyegirl, scoortergirl, dirtyoldbiker, staceman & diane?, cara from minn, not interested, dave from minn, jim & sue from minn...and i hope many more very soon!.
I've never met anyone here yet. ( I was a newbie until a couple of days ago.) But I am looking forward to meet some of you in the future. If you stop by at the San Francisco Bay Area, let me know.
notice to the governing body: today, as the arrest was discussed in the news media by officer corona, the sherrif of orange, county, california, speaking of samantha runion, he said to the accused, "mr. avila, she became our little girl!
" ... yes, the police, public and media joined forces to find the girl and the perpetrator ... as though she was their own daughter.
that is what we call community committment, love, and concern.
So well said, Amazing!
aside from all those controvercial topics, what is your favorite lunch menu?
to me it seems like the more time i have ( like day-off or vacation ) the harder it gets to decide what to have for lunch.
any suggestion?
To Valis or District Overbeer:
sunshine, I wanted to apollogize for being gruff w/you in the thread about my family's response to Panorama. I have no idea who or how old you are, and as I am usually right about everything, I try to correct my few mistakes when they do occur..*L* Anyway...my bad!
Oh, don't worry about it. I've forgotten already. ;-) And about my age....um.....never mind. ;-p
I've been trying a lot of chopped salads lately, cause its been so hot...my fave has romaine, pastrami and a little vinegar, cucumbers, olives and a bit of shredded feta cheese and some bannana pepper....yummy..
Ooh, not bad!
also did a guacamole recently w/lots of garlic ,sun dried tomatos that come packed in a jar w/olive oil, and jicama....yummy w/chips, a lisslte sour crean and hot sauce...nice light lunch in itself.
Pretty good, Valis! :-D
To larc: I've never seen those chilis. My favorite so far is Stagg chili from Costco.
To OUTLAW: YOU ARE SO BAD. ;-) I'll take it as you prefer BBQ.
To Francois: No comment! ;-)
To SPAZink: ( SIGH.....) What a gourmet!!!! |-)

To Mum: I have a great eggplant parmigiana recipe: Grilled Eggplant and Chicken Parmesan. :-q
To TruckerGB: would that be carmelized onion? Would you like to have a peppermint lifesaver on the side? ;-)
To Kenneson: good idea, too! ;-q
To SYN: Oh, you are so bad. ;-)
