obviously the answer for many of you is, an overwhelming yes.
the reason i am posting this is, for some or perhaps many, they only post or im(instant message/e-mail) other members, but have not spoken to them via the phone.
i'm aware that for some, calling long distance is a financial concern, thus the e-mail thing/im works fine and serves its purpose.
i'm just wondering how everyone was changed by the wts emotionally.
i find that after going through being df'd and the shunning, the general loss of everything that i'm much harder, i give people less sympathy than i used to, things that are seriuos such as deaths and the like just don't move me much.
i feel desensitized, sorta detached i let so much just roll off my back than i used to.
Well Essie, I quite agree with your comments - no time for man mande religion in any shape or form.
Obiwan - good point - since leaving the org, I do not trust people, I feel that i am much harder on myself and others, i do not suffer fools gladly, but at the same time, I rather like the new me.
I like to think that i am likeable - but i make a far better friend than i do an enemy.
I am going to go away and think about this one. You have made me assess myself hhmmmm.
a group of about 4 or 5 cubans were spotted in the water a few miles off of some florida islands this morning.
most got picked up by a coast guard cutter but one was refusing to get on the boat.
apparantly he knew that if you're picked up in the water, you can get turned right around and sent back to who know's what fate at the hands of castro.
Adam suppose you were born in cuba ,would you want to stay there knowing that life was much sweeter in the next field just across the river what would you do ,allso adam America doesnot belong to Americans, your fellowman killed and rapped and skined millions of American indians ,maybee your ancestors took part in this masacre of original Americans , YOU WERE SAYING ADAM,

i have always loved perfumes and oils and i have quite a collection that i use as the mood strikes...but i am getting low on many of them and it is time to think about making that birthday gift list sooooooo... what do you wear and what do you like and why?.
my all-time innocent favorite is muguet des bois(lily of the valley)--reminds me of my youth and a cousin who gave it to me as a gift who is passed now.... but i also love the scent of lilac, usually in an oil.. my favorite perfumes are: obsession, rare rubies(avon), coty wild musk, revlon's fire and ice, white shoulders, sand and sable, ck's truth, (and also mesmerize, odyssey, foxfire, jasmine, raining violets, honeysuckle, lemon velvet, hawaiian white ginger--all old classic avon you can only find at flea markets or once a year in the book.).
but i need something new....i like the oriental/spicy blends, but not for all the time.
to all of you i want to say thanks for the many hours ,love, fun, & affection i have experienced on this board...simon & ang a special ((hug)) for letting me be here.
to those who have adopted me as a mum, gran, friend thanks for putting up with me & wonderful comments you have made about me...i cannot keep up with the board anymore.
i am having trouble with my computer -which make me frustrated.
We love you and you are an inspiration... please come backto us we need you but we understand your reasons.
Be well and take care, and I hope you don't mind if we drop you a msg from time to time jsut to make sure that you are being good, and that really you are not out partying LOL
i can't remember/find it, but i thought there was something like that in the bible.... i'm doing an essay [on history of racism], and i could _really_ use some help.. thanx!
Seeing ones farthers nakedness is not enough to cause one to curse there child,
I believe the reason that for the cursing was that the farther Noah was sexualy abused by one of the sons,
whom was then cursed by the farther when his other sons told him what had transpired ,the evening before
I WAS ALLSO LED TO BELEIVE THAT THE ( person cursed was from the white race ) and not the black race as many think therfore check out where the cananites settled and you may find they settled in europe.
has anyone ever had any experiences with ghosts or that of the paranormal world ?.
we think that we have a ghost in our house, nothing major just does little things at times, was just wondering if anyone has ever had anything happen to them ?
or if you dont believe in ghosts, how do you explain what happens to people ?.
I quite agree with the telepathy 'thing', when I was in contact with my family, some 300 miles apart, we would quite often think about one another, and then the phone rang..dum dum dum dum... also I would know if something was wrong (aarrgghh what is happening the print has changed - Matt what are you doing LOL), I would call and I was usually right...
Oh well not as exciting as the others that have posted.
Mind you though, I have to admit that since leaving the JWs, this type of subject no longer bothers me... strange!
