i just wanted to tell all of you how very much you mean to me.
i want to especially thank my husband wild turkey, for finding this place and showing me the light.
he was so encouraging to me when i first came into this room.
I have been coming to this site for only a couple of months. I have stepped on some toes and ruffled some feathers...however I have really connected to some of you that i never in my wildest dreams thought i ever could on a computer.You for one Lyingeyes , just recently.
I have been depressed for many many years I believe because i never really connected to people . I will leave it at that because you have already said it perfectly.
Peace and Love to all.

Lyingeyes,
I just read your reply and well.........my make -up is gone!! and im at work...(i'm crying so hard)
I just don't want people to forget all these loved ones that have touched our lives just because they are not here physicaly.
We can keep their memories alive if we keep talking about them and saying their names.
My Aunt Erma killed herself at the tender age of 12 ( we think she was molested by her brother)I never got to meet her..but my mom told me what a loving and giveing little girl she was.
I cannot even begin to image how it would feel to lose my mom..puts a huge lump in my throat
Your mom has such a beautiful name...it caught my eye right away....Lura Anne
i am puzzled by the expression, "present truth" as used buy the wbts.
for example: "we must keep in step with present truth.
" now to me something is either true, partially true, or untrue.
He met to say "I don't have an intelligent answer for that"
You just don't get it!!! How lame is that!!
I would have said "ya ..I don't get it...thats why im asking you ...

ive done some pretty stupid things in my time but i think the prize had to go to the time i was 14, out shopping and desperate for a cigarette..... i went into a secluded cafe so there was less chance of being spotted and was relieved to find that there was only one other couple in there.
i sat down with my coffee and confidently lit up, casually asking the guy on the next table to pass the ashtray.. next week i was hauled in front of the elders for smoking and found to my dismay that the guy sat next to me was a ministerial servant who recognised me from being on the last assembly programme giving my experiences!.
oops!
LMAO!!

Reborn....you go boy(man)!!! Your free now say what ever you want.
As for people that have family in the org.....i feel sorry for you ..however they are making a choice to stay in a corrupt org. all you can do is pray for them and the good hearted ones will leave....I know it is a hard pill to swallow knowing (in my case...brother) is staying with them...I hope some day he proves he has a good heart but im starting to think he is one of evil.
since we cannot experience reality directly but we con only represent it through our
individual filters and five senses i decided to post an objective third position observation about the whole jw phenomena from a martians viewpoint that just landed on earth.
they are a tribe of six million people led by a few old men and their assistants.
They will not let their children play with blue stuffed dolls (smurfs) because they feel they are harmful.
Yet they have no problem with the Monsters that (pedophiles) sit in the same building with them..in fact they embrace them.
