  Goodbye

  this is not a goodbye.

  i was just wondering if its necessary to leave the board for some.

  i mean, after a period of time is it possible that some feel the need to quit posting so that they feel like a normal member of society.

  The flame wars may burn hot but nothing warms my heart more than seeing Butalbee at the top of a post.

  Thanks for your contributions Bee! You are one of the main reasons I stay around here. Not that I want to leave. I just sometimes wondered if I need to leave. Anyway..... The "fluffers" are the very reason we live.

  Our lives would be nuffin' if it wasn't for the fluffin'!

  I liked your coments, Intro.

  I agree but those experiences, because they are different, give us a unique perspective that can actually catapult us beyond normal. For example, I have used my uniqueness of being a JW along with the childhood as a dirt poor hillbilly to find common ground and respect that proved to greatly advance my business deals.

  Teejay,
  

  These and other factors all play a role on how well we recover,

  Well said. I think the longer you were in and more serious you were makes it sometimes more difficult.

  2. friends

  i must confess that her ladyship and i lived together for 6 months before we got married, so that must be, er...say 200?.

  then we used to spend 3 nights a week gambling in tiberiuss casino, even after we got married, so.....umm, say another 250?.

  i must have eaten black pudding, say, 100 times?.

  I'll try to put them in no particular order....Why? Because I'm proud that I have the freedom now to do what I couldn't do before. Some things I'm not particularly proud of but at least I'm honest. Some things I did just to see if I could. Kinda like a teenager huh?

  1. Oral Sex
  2. Adultry
  3. Smoking
  4. Drugs
  5. Gambling
  6. Celebrated Holidays
  7. Watched X rated movies
  8. Apostacy
  9. Blasphemy
  10. Birthdays
  11. I have a US flag sticker on my truck
  12. I have attended another church
  13. Shoplifting
  14. Lying
  15. Drunkeness
  16. Cursing
  17. Worked for a military base
  18. Gave money to a religious charity
  19. Got a tarot card reading
  20. Dirty dancing (now before you say that this isn't a disfellowshipping offense, you should see me dance. It has to be some kind of crime.)

  I reserve the right to come back and add more.

  I think, personally, I feel like SYN. I like the conversations about everything. Not just the conversations concerned with exiting the JW's but I don't really feel much need for emotional support. Every so often I like to lean on the supportive shoulders of the sypathetic ones here. Knowing that makes this a wonderful place to spend the evenings.

  Some scenes from our town:

  About a dozen years ago, the main downtown bridge became the summer home for a colony of 1 million or so Mexican free-tailed bats. In many places that might cause panic; in Austin it's reason to party.

  The bats' dusk flights draw droves of people to the bridge and nearby riverbanks. Restaurants take reservations for bat observation decks. The city's hockey team is called the Icebats. There's a 6-foot-tall "kinetic sculpture" of a bat on a downtown traffic island that swivels like a weather vane.

  "They really are kind of an unofficial mascot for the city. On a weekend night, there are 1,200-plus people at the bridge watching the bats come out," says Bob Benson, a spokesman for Bat Conservation International, a group based - where else? - in Austin.

  This is not a goodbye. I was just wondering if it’s necessary to leave the board for some. I mean, after a period of time is it possible that some feel the need to quit posting so that they feel like a normal member of society. Not just an Ex JW. Can one ever feel like a normal person after being a JW? What is normal? Does this make sense to anyone?

  Babette's Feast

  by joelbear in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  interesting movie that culminates with babette cooking a sumptuous meal for a group of devout christians who feel guilty about enjoying anything because of the sinful nature of enjoyment and their fear that enjoyment of life now will diminish their eternal reward so they vow to each other not to show any signs that they are enjoying the meal.. i saw it the other night and it always reminds me of the witnesses i knew back in the 60s.

  Ded,

  And why can't you still talk about babettes feast? Are you trying to whine about something?
