well things were actually pretty boring.
i mean really boring.
that's the price of fading i guess.
At least I know what to expect when ours is on... Not for a couple of months I think. I find it so odd that not long ago I used to look forward to assemblies and conventions so much, pay close attention, take copious notes, really feel good and refreshed afterwards. Now I find it so hard not to roll my eyes at the meeting. It's like my personality has changed. Talk about mind control ~ and yet some days lately I wish I could go back to that blissful state of ignorance, "how lucky we are to get this wonderful spiritual food.." Ah, GAG!!!
It is good to feel free to analyse everything rationally now though, instead of "the GB says it so I must obey and believe without question"
im on the fast track to athieism!
hello everyone, i used to be notreadytorun, forgot password, see recent posts for boring story.... board moderators, please accept my sincere apologies, i am truly repentant and aim to be a more active member of jwnet.

seriously, i look forward to contributing to all the interesting threads ive been readung recently.
Btw, on another thread I said I'm not ready to pm anyone again, just treading cautiously... Yet here I asked someone to pm me, just realised I sound a bit all over the place. I'm sure it's not a surprise to most of you, I'm still feeling my way.

Hey all, sorry I don't get to comment as much as some, but I appreciate all the welcomes! It's good to have somewhere to go to read comments of others who really understand what I'm going through. I'm going about things quietly, my hubby is very good to talk to, is not "uber dub" like my parents so can have a rational conversation with him.
So tired emotionally right now, sorry if I don't post much, I am so thankful for everyone who post helpful info here. I'll continue to contribute whenever I feel I have something useful to add.
thankyou, and love to you all

"is that toy magic?".
When I saw this for the first time I was shocked at the level of control... What happened to being allowed to exercise our conscience?!

rain, at long last, has penetrated into the interior of our land and my soul.
the burning sun of a protracted summer had effectively removed my resolve to get necessary things done.
First day of summer here, yay! Bit stormy and humid the past few days but still hot

i have been "lurking" for about four years now.. it was an incredibly weird experience just to look at a site like jwn or freeminds.
he came off very loving.. so, i decided that i would talk to one of my elders about the things i read.
if any of you have time to read this, thank you.
