  I agree WildHorses, he's a dream, I loved him in Bridget Fonda's Diary, sigh.

  I have a big crush on Vince Vaughn (Return to Paradise).

  this is so frustrating - just wanted to vent a bit.. .

  my younger brother, who has been "inactive" for about 8 years, has decided that everything wrong about his life is due to his not being "right with jehovah".

  arrrrrrgh!!!

  I'm really sorry to hear about that. My mom went back right before I disassociated myself, but I've been really careful around her and she's been talking to me more and more, so give it time. (((((((((((((Michael)))))))))))))

  An idea for $$$ and a cookbook for Simon's board

  by Lady Lee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it has been suggested that we have a recipe collection for posters on jwd.. and that idea was taken one step further by suggesting that we make a cookbook with the various recipes provided by the posters here.

  all proceeds from the book would go to simon to help support the board (which would be a lot easier than everyone getting a cut of the "profits".

  it would be pretty easy to get a collection of recipes and make up some cds.. i um have actually edited a cookbook before.

  So, who sleeps in early, and who sleeps in late?(fluff)

  .

  i find that i can't sleep in late on the weekends.i'm up at 5:30 in the morning during the week and by the time the weekend comes around, if i can sleep till 7:30 i'm doing good.

  even if i stay up till midnight i still get up around 8:00.the only way i sleep in late is if i've been drinking all night or i'm sick.. so how does everyone else do with thier sleeping habits?

  I'm a freelance writer working from home. If it weren't for getting the kids read for school, I'd sleep till 10 everyday and stay up late, but sometimes I sneak in a few hours more after they get on the bus. I like to work when I'm at my most creative, usually late afternoons/evenings.

  I love mornings (under the covers and with a warm cat sitting on top of me).

  Being your own best friend!

  by LDH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  tonight while reading sheila m's post about thunder's parents not even saying anything nice to him when he got his book published, put me in mind of something i've been thinking for a while.. today, all you hear about is "self-esteem" this and "self-esteem" that---a lack of it causes everything from suicide to eating disorders and everything in between.

  i believe concerned parents today are much more in tune with rewarding postitive behavior by reinforcing it through praise.. as a jw child, what special assaults on your self-esteem did you suffer and how did you deal with it?.

  in short, are you your own best friend?

  I love this forum for posts like this one!

  I used to write lists every single freaking day of what I needed to do to be a better person and how I need to do more, be more, etc. I hated how I never measured up, how I looked, etc. Dammit, I never liked myself much when I was a witness and what a damn shame. I'm a pretty cool person! lol

  I never knew what freedom from my own mental trappings was until I left the destructive influence of the JW religion. I was so loaded down with worries, guilt and disappointment, I never even enjoyed the good times. Life is so much better now that I'm free. I'm just mad that I didn't do it sooner. I'm a better friend to myself and along with that, I'm a better friend to everyone else too.

  I wish I lived closer to LyinEyes, you have such a sweet heart. You are a genuinely wonderful person, do you realize that?

  hugs, Anne

  Believe me, I've experienced it and if you give them an inch they'll take a mile.

  JW Family...UPDATE! Please advise!

  by Ghost of Esmeralda in

  2. friends

  my ex husband just told me that he will continue to facilitate visitation between my child and my jw family who is shunning me (see my other thread "i didn't think they could find another way to hurt me but...") he says i'm the one with the problem and that i should be "ashamed of myself".

  it's not like i thought he'd cooperate, but for him to stand there and tell me that he will allow my sister full access to my child and there's not a damn thing i can do (and probably, legally, that's right) makes my blood boil.

  makes me just want to swallow every fricking pill in the house.

  Be her best friend, her confidante, her biggest cheerleader and they won't stand a chance. Let your life be her example Essie. Show her what freedom, independence and real happiness is all about. Don't let him get you down, do you hear? I've seen kids sway back and forth, but they go back to the best parent, the real loving parent in the end. Hang in there, it will be ok.

  What is funny, is they just don't get it!

  i wanted to pass on a recent experience i had.

  my mother passed away a few months ago.

  the funeral was poised to be a sensitive issue since, when i left the truth 4 years ago, none of my children (all adults and still active in their faith) have spoken to me.

  I'm sorry to hear about this and your pain. F*cking screwy religion! We'll be your family, I could use a sane parent in my life these days. :)
