((((((DJ)))))) I agree that anger, bad-mouthing the Creator and being arrogant and pompous are very negative things.
My very best wishes to you and your family,

i cant help but think some of you guys are just tooooo angry for your past hurts.. weve all got terrible stories which can make us cry, but whats the motivation for such bitterness ?.
some people search out pervets, seemingly to lay these scumbags and their faults at the societys door.. others try to use thier bad times as an excuse to rubbish the entire religion.. i am not saying that jws are great, or that the society is perfect or undeserving of punishment.. but why are we not trying to even up the good points of the religion.. no smoking, no drugs, no abortion, on and on, and on.. and then try to remember the good times you all had at the meetings.
the laughs and the help you gave, and received.
The jw cult did a number on me and lots of people. I don't think that I am bitter, though. Would I defend them? Absolutely not. Would I say that they have some good in them? Why would I, when they have caused so much hurt and alienation and pain. They are human and they do whatever they can get away with.
How can I be bitter, though, when I've hurt, alienated and caused pain to people, too? I look at my life now and I look at my future. I look at myself and try to improve. And, I am grateful that there are people who are bringing jw evils out in the open, helping those who have been severely wronged.
i finally picked one out.
my older son and i are going down one day this week and getting it done.
it's a tribal turtle.
Granted, having 'eyeliner' tattooed on your lids is a bit different from what you are wanting to do (nice tattoo, btw), but it wasn't a very pleasant experience for me. Yes, it hurts!
Trauma, I want to suck your toes.
i will be taking a short hiatus, away from jwdc, until late september, as i am busy making arrangements for my move across the country on the 15th, while juggling an almost impossible 70 hour workweek (lately).
in the meantime, have fun, yell at eachother, makeup, kiss and hug, or stab eachother in the eyeballs or the crotch.
bye for now mates!
I'll miss ya, Seedy...best wishes on your move.
Hope to hear from you again in a month!

A beautiful name-change! And may you live happily ever after.
i love
to read but i've recently gotten bored with it; mostly because i've read all of the books by my favorite authors: stephen king, dean koontz, mary higgins clark, john saul
james patterson.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (I've read it several times). It took me awhile to get into Wuthering Heights, by her sister, Emily, but I really like that book, too. I like romantic classics and poetry (my favorite poet is Sara Teasdale). I have a passion for history and biographies and never tire of reading about Henry VIII and his wives. I have a little English blood in me, so I guess that's why British history has always been of major interest to me.

on august 29, 2001, i stumbled upon a web site like no other i have ever found in cyberspace, and i have been hooked ever since.
the purpose of this thread is to say thank you to everybody for your help, advice, and support, for putting up w/ my craziness, and entertaining my fluff w/ your replies.
when i first posted here, with that 'relatives and relationships' thread, i was overwhelmed by the responses i got from people who really cared and wanted to help me.
Happy Anniversary, Butal!
Did I hear the word 'sex'?
i just wanted to say hello and that i think it's nice to find a place where i can express myself if/when i need/want to, although i feel pretty timid about posting.
Welcome, Nilfun! Awww, don't be shy!
