  You've got it Frank, that we actually were taught that and believed it is hard to acknowledge (I guess that's why I don't readily admit it to new people I meet, unless I want to shock them, lol). But, some people are taught that hell is real and they actually believe it, so, I guess we're all gullible when it comes from our parents first.

  I'm much happier, freer, more passionate about things, but sometimes I get scared about how short life is and how I really don't know all the answers anymore. I want to believe in an afterlife of some sort, but without any facts it's hard for me to really believe in anything like that. I was just as afraid of not making it past Armageddon so at least I'm living my life more fully now. :)

  The pressure of being a witness was killing me, choking the joy out of my life. If we only live a short while, I want it to be full of life, passion and friends of my own choosing!

  Cigarettes

  by Beans in

  2. friends

  when you left the jw's did you start smoking cigarettes or had you already started smoking cigarettes before?

  and for those who became jw's later on in life, were you smoking cigarettes before joing the organization and was it hard to stop?

  and now how many cigarettes do you smoke a day?

  I smoke about once a month and will quit if I ever "need" a cigarette. Just every now and then it sounds good with a drink and it's usually a long skinny Capri, more as an accessory I guess............. I'm very lucky I haven't become addicted.

  Blueblades,

  I lost my only brother 11 years ago and I will never forget the pain or forget how much he is missed. I'm so sorry you have to go through this, try to remember all the good times and his qualities and absorb as many of those as you can to honor his memory, that's what I try to do and it helps a little.

  Lutece was the name of the city of Paris before the GrecoRoman culture and a fine restaurant in Paris.

  Paris is one of my favorite cities to visit, along with Toronto and San Francisco.....I love to travel
