  IT'S HERE...IT'S HERE. My Secret Santa came through. Thank you Thank you Thank you, Wes.

  I got two great CD's "Musical Healing...Renew Your Spirit" and "Healing Waters...Soundings of the Planet" by Dean Evenson. They're in the CD player and they sure are nice. I'm checking out their websites for more. It's very strange that this past year since being out of the JW's I have been gravitating towards the New Age music because it is so soothing. It helps me deal with the anger a bit. So thank you, again, Wes. You were reading my mind! ((((()))))

  JWs just knocked on my door....

  by LDH in

  ok so i'm on the phone talking to my friend, when i hear a knock so light i wasn't even sure if it was a knock.... (the doorbell, lighted, works just fine).. i open the door.

  two attractive young ladies in their early 20s are standing there, don't even make eye contact.

  one reaches into her bookbag and pulls out the lasts watchtower and asnake magazines and proceeds to ramble incoherently for the next 30 seconds.

  Very Good, girl.

  Very true about planting seeds that may grow later. Years ago, I had a householder (Bible teacher) tell me that she respected what the JW's were doing in witnessing door to door but she had studied the NWT Bible and came to the conclusion that it was a very spurious rendition. I went home and looked that up: Websters - "Spurious: false, counterfeit, fraudulent". I said to myself "Oh, really?" but I NEVER forgot the incident. Now I completely agree.

  Later, I had a male householder run out the door after me shouting "Go away. You ruined my daughter's life". I don't know if his daughter was in the Borg our out of the Borg but I NEVER forgot that incident either.

  Chip, chip, chip, chip, chip...... It works!

  Why do Some Ex-JWs go Wacko?

  i don't intend to offend anybody with this post, so please excuse me if i do.

  i have often wondered why some people that leave the wt organisation go really weird.

  there is a couple near me who left a couple of years ago.

  For me....

  • Leaving the WT was like getting out of prison. I enjoyed my new found freedom. You level out finally after about a year.
  • Never truly believed the rubbish the WT taught about holidays. I tried to convince myself but it didn't make sense down deep inside. So when I found out they were nothing but major hypocrites and it was a pile of rubbish, I went back to thoroughly enjoying what they took away from me.
  • Immorality? Never was an immoral person to start with; not one now either.

  Everyone's reactions upon leaving are somewhat different. Praise God they have the freedom to love Him now from the heart instead of being brow beaten into submission. Be happy for them.

  Hey, Lady....I'm twiddling thumbs, too. Our Secret Santas are probably busier than one-armed paper hangers so just hang in there.

  my dad passed away at the hospital today after a lengthy illness.

  he was 84 years old.

  some of the folks here have known for awhile that he had been ill, and they have been very supportive.

  Oh, My. They do-o-o-o look delicious. I might run down to a store tomorrow to see if I can get a Lemongrass for Mom for Xmas. She loves lemon scents since she is allergic to just about everything else. Thanks Lilacs for the site.

  Parliament:

  Welcome to Florida. I'm from Fort Lauderdale. Miami is a VERY BIG place. The most popular beach is South Beach. You can go on from there.

  In Key West, the most well-known bar is Captain Tony's.

  As with any visit to a unfamiliar place, precautions are necessary. Be careful, use common sense, watch your possessions and have a good time.
