one of them is nose rings/piercings.

Smoking, excessive drinking, not being circumcised, not being in a similar financial situation, not willing to try new things.
I'm 37 and do not, under any circumstances, want more children. I'm ready to travel and work on my Masters. The last few men that were interested in me wanted to have children. It's an immediate deal breaker.
such a ripoff when you dream you're back at the damn meetings.
i once dreamed a local (rather liberal-minded) elder, jack hoogendoorn, was smoking a cigar while he was giving a talk on the platform.. last night i was back there again: one elder who suddenly decided he was going to be "encouraging" gave me the latest stats on baptisms, while someone else i was meant to go witnessing with was not-so-subtly probing me about how many magazines i'd been placing lately.
i chose not to tell them i had decided against placing mags any more.
Interesting. My best friend has many jw dreams/nightmares since leaving. I feel so bad for her as they leave her quite drained.
you can google it to learn more but blackfish is a documentary about killed whales in captivity.
particularly a male named tilicum who wound up killing trainers, the last one in 2010.. i had to bite my tongue when my jw wife said "whad did ya think?".
i answered but wanted to say that seaworld giving the impression that trainers were most highly educated was a lie, telling the public these were isolated instances of trainer error was a lie, and all their actions and area tions made me think of wts.. trainers were typically not marine biologist but just young eager excellent swimmers.
I'm watching this now...finally. It's even more disturbing than I was expecting it to be.
they announced last week that the new atanta assembly hall has thus far raised 3.4 million dollars.
my local told that will become the society's come may 1. i wonder how that will go over with the ones who have been contributing to this fund..
I doubt "the friends" will even question the new arrangement.
As for Ray Nagin (cutest mayor ever), he made news over here in SWFL.
i received a call from my book study conductor the other day asking for my email address so that he could start sending electronic copies of the km to me.
has anyone else received calls like this?
i've missed quite a few meeting (it's been nice) so am unaware if any letter has been read.
Isn't the current KM what one of the JW dating sites uses as a question to login? For example, they ask a simple question for the current KM that you have to type in for access.
spark of life: metabolism appears in lab without cells19:42 25 april 2014 by linda geddesfor similar stories, visit the evolution and human evolution topic guidesmetabolic processes that underpin life on earth have arisen spontaneously outside of cells.
the serendipitous finding that metabolism the cascade of reactions in all cells that provides them with the raw materials they need to survive can happen in such simple conditions provides fresh insights into how the first life formed.
it also suggests that the complex processes needed for life may have surprisingly humble origins.. "people have said that these pathways look so complex they couldn't form by environmental chemistry alone," says markus ralser at the university of cambridge who supervised the research.. but his findings suggest that many of these reactions could have occurred spontaneously in earth's early oceans, catalysed by metal ions rather than the enzymes that drive them in cells today.. the origin of metabolism is a major gap in our understanding of theemergence of life.

so i think the title pretty much says it all.
i have a tendancy to be long winded about things, so i'll just give a general introduction and maybe tell things as i go along.
i don't even really know what i want from this site (ironically i remember jehovahs-witness.net mentioned from the platform as a site not to go to).
Welcome, glad you joined and shared your story.
Carpe Diem!
i am a newly unbaptised publisher.
recently i found out i need to have major surgery and the jw's tried to rush a blood card in my hand.
i was so relieved when the elders said i could not have one until i was baptised.. but they rushed to get me copies of the blood videos.
Hi, I missed this thread when you posted it. Happy to read that you are home recovering well and woke up to TTATT, before you got baptized.
I recently had a "worldly" friend ask me if I wanted all my videos about the blood doctrine back, as she was curious a couple years ago (when I was still in and witnessing) about the JW's and the blood doctrine. She wanted to see the medical evidence for it as she had wondered how safe transfusions were. She's someone I confided in when I decided to quickly fade so we shared a good laugh when I told her to toss those videos and make sure no on else could see them :)
tell us a little about yourself and your family.. can't, have family still in.
were you a born in or a convert?.
convert.
I'm glad you shared this and it's nice to know you are enjoying yourself. :)
