What's Your DREAM ?

by frenchbabyface in

jw
friends

a little log house 1 bed located in a place like arizona (where it is just a bit green somewhere like flagstaff).

a cat - if i can take care of it .

a horse (but in arizona they live free so there i wouldn't have to buy one).

DFWnonJW

first off, BLISS...that wasn't corney in the least.

I can't even imagine a 'dream' life but for the hell of it let me try...

Good health for my family. It's hard watching your family suffer through aches, pains and worse. Much worse.
A decent place to live - I'd actually like to build it myself. A place big enough to have family and friends (families friends though, 'cause I don't have any) over for big parties etc. and far enough from neighbors to play music at deafening volumes.
Of course the only thing that would make it worthwhile is to have someone to share the planning / doing with. Without that it don't mean a thing.
Money, enough to achieve the above but in and of itself money can bring more problems than it solves.

Well, it's a start.

If you could use a voodoo doll to hurt anyone you chose, would you?

by Happythoughts in

be honest

DFWnonJW

I'm sitting on the proverbial fence with this one. It would be against my nature but there is in fact one person that I would use such an instrument of revenge on. Even though I may have a twinge of guilt about it I think I'd do it. You don't have to actually stick the thing with pins or set it on fire (or parts thereof) right? I'd be a little more creative with it. :) Can't say anymore than that. hehehehehhhheeeee

hmmmm?

football game?

sports of any kind?

DFWnonJW

I had the same thought as Swan, that Frannie has invited us all to her place for T-Day. She's a really good cook from what I've heard. So whaddya say Frannie? Could you stand a few hundred guests?

"The Big D, and I Don't Mean Dallas"

by Robdar in

tomorrow the divorce will be granted.

even though the past few months have been hairy, scary and horrible, i am glad for them because they led to my freedom.

i woke up a couple of years ago from the nightmare that was my marriage.

DFWnonJW

I'll second Nina's comments. I'm not the advisor sort but I hope you know I wish you all happiness Robyn.

Post a pic of the child that you were,,,,,,,,,,in honor of healing

by LyinEyes in

most of you know that i have moved back to my old house, and in the process, had lots of boxes to go thru.

i have found so many treasured moments of my life, things like my kids, my family, etc.. for just a couple of hours lately i have been putting alot of my pictures when i was young on my personal file, just because they are the only copies i have of them.. i heard it once said that when you have pain in your past , your childhood, that you should look at that picture of the 8 or 9 year old you once were and enbrace her,, or him.

i have done that, and i can tell you it opens the door to so much healing, so much compassion for yourself, something that you as an adult really need to move on.

DFWnonJW

I've been going through old photos to put on a site for my family to have access to them. It's strange just taking your pics and lining them up to see yourself through the years. So, like Big Tex, I'll take you up on that offer (or was it a challenge?) and post one or two as well.

I should add, I was 4 and we lived in Palmdale CA. then. This is what happens when you transplant a Texan kid out to the strange land of southern CA. - playing cowboy and sailor at the same time! One year later my mom started studying and that changed everything.

Do You Think You're "Normal"?

by minimus in

jw
friends

are you a bit eccentric?

DFWnonJW

If normal is boring

then I'm as normal as normal can be.

( Not really, I'm just

subtle with

my ~~manias~~. )

edited to add: well dammit, the formatting is way too normal compared to what I entered.

Social anxiety VS. Jw influence

by NEWWORLDSLACKER in

jw
friends

my question for tonight is this : after leaving the witnesses do you still feel disjointed from society in general ( and i mean the human race not the wt) ?

im realizing that i still have quite a hard time in social situations where there are more than say 4-5 people .....i tend to get into a dreamy feeling state , and just basically out of it feeling .

i tend to blame it on being raised a dub .

DFWnonJW

Yep, I've got it too. Who knows for sure how it would be without that JW past. I don't think anyone can deny that the ingrained 'stay separate' way of life is a big part of the problem though.

What Do You Do Besides JWD?

by pettygrudger in

jw
friends

with so many new ones, and not so new ones, its kinda hard to get to know people.

i'm just wondering, what do you like to do besides post on the jwd discussion board?.

me, during the spring - fall months like my yard & gardening.

DFWnonJW

I work and when I'm not working I surf the net for things related to work like how to fix computer & printer troubles that always pop up. What a life eh?

So Big Tex...that Dallas v Detroit game...was that the one in the Cotton Bowl when Dallas won 5-0? I listened to that one on the radio and remember the Headline the next day: 0 - 5 and that's no jive.
