Holidays and former JW's
by Granny Linda intwo threads in one sitting...i'd best get busy with housework or something.... i'm relaxing and enjoying conversation about the holidays when i had to remember this is a site for former jw's, or mostly anyhow.
last holiday season someone reminded me that not everyone has family to enjoy this time of year with, and it made me sad.
sorta like those bitter-sweet times that life sometimes gives us.

How DO you do it?
by alfie inthis is not a question to get too personal, but how do so many of you find the time to post so much?
i have trouble finding time to read a few posts, let alone respond to or begin as many as so many of you folks do.

Heck, I'll admit it! I'm addicted to this place! Can't help it, got too many buddies in here and it's very healing for me to have this support system.
When I can't go to someone in this world around me, I can travel to the cyber world and you're always here!

How long are people remembered?
by joelbear in.
unless you are famous for something how long are you really remembered?.
maybe you are remembered at most by your grandchildren, but then your presence in the universe is gone.. so, really, what difference does it make whether you die in your 40's or your 70's, your memory simply lingers another 30 years at most.

It will get eaiser darlin! I use to get so mad, but I realized that it's hard for them too. They really believe what they are doing is right. I never done it. I grew up in the org, but I never felt it was right. A friend of mine that was having a lot of problems was d.f.ed. She would sit in the back of the hall and no one would acknowledge her. Everytime I saw her, I would wink, smile and say hi and squeeze her arm. If I see someone that I care about, I'm going to at least acknowledge them. I wasn't going to let that rule change who I was. Now when I see my j.w. family, I smile, say hi and hug their neck. I rarely see them, but when I do, I'm not going to let their rules change who I am. To me, I just handle it better if I have that kind of attitude with my situation.
Hang in there!

Mulan, great dream!
Gosh, I hope you don't hate me over being ugly in that last post on the other thread. I feel bad about getting all heated up. I think I'll stay off that subject!
I hope you don't think I'm this mean ol person that's hateful. I'm not really that kind of person. I just let my emotions get away with me on that thread!
I'm sorry about that!

I think it's a big deal. It's a shame this happened and seeing that she admitted taking them I would try to get them back.
I'm not sure about calling the police over this, *even though it was for a special person*.
But, I'll tell you this, I'd never let that person in my home again. If they steal from you once, they'll do it again!

My JW story
by Aztec ini don't think any of this is really all that unusual so i'm sorry if you find it dull.
i was raised in the jw cult from birth, a third generation member to boot.
my family was full of elders, ministerial servants and overseers of all sorts.

Aztec, welcome girl!!! Glad to have ya and thanks for sharing your story!!! Feel free to talk about your life or vent anytime you like!!! I hope to get to know you better as time goes on! I can relate to your story in the sense that I was raised in it, but never felt like it was real to me. We're smarter than we think!!!
I'm glad to be out and I'm NEVER going back!

by Dogpatch infor those of you inclined to prayer, i request it in behalf of my dad.
