This week Kelpie and her family are moving house so she is busy packing and preparing. She is also very busy with her job. Even I don't get to see her much at the moment and she only lives 2 suburbs away. But she did say that when they have moved and settled into their new place they will have a house warming party. If it's as good as her birthday party it'll be a blast. I might suggest kareoke.........OMG!

She has been in contact with her sister too, which is great to hear!

Anyhow, I hope this has put your minds at ease.

Cheers, Bliss(of the PI class)

she is not answering e-mails.

it will be too late for the christmas exchange.

so maybe she left the board???

Hi Mouthy.

Last time I spoke to Kelpie (about 3 weeks ago) she sounded fine. She is very busy with her job and 3 kids, as well as not being too happy about her family situation. All in all she seemed ok. When I speak with her next I'll mention your post ok.

Cheers, Bliss

kelpie has hardly been here since she posted about her sisters wedding, saying how upset she was.

has anyone heard anything from her, or know if she's ok?

BLISSISIGNORANCE

I spoke to Kelpie a few weeks ago. She seemed ok although very busy with her new job and 3 kids. She sounded fine although not 100% happy with her family situation of course.

I'll let her tell you any other news.

I'm going to get my hubby to post to you. He makes a great shiraz with Sth Australian grapes and has just sampled his latest brew and said it's the best ever.

Ozzie can confirm this as he and Mrs Ozzie sampled some (a few????/quite a few?????) of mr Bliss' brew and didn't seem to mind it at all!

Keep an eye here, I'll put pressure on him to respond.

A question for those who do NOT live in the United States

by logansrun in

jw
friends

i've heard it over and over again in conversations about the us -- "what other country would you rather live in?

" the question is stated in such a fashion as to say that nothing is better than living in the good 'ol us of a.

"what, are you stupid?

BLISSISIGNORANCE

I love living in Australia although I was born in Italy. If I had to live anywhere else but here, it would be Italy for sure. I am very Italian in my heart and could adjust to the lifestyle there.

I've never been to the USA but I have met and know quite a few Americans. Although I have never had the desire to live in America I do think Americans are very colourful people. It seems to me that despite all the politics, there is a very caring bunch of people there. I have met many Americans travelling and they have a real curiosity about other countries and peoples, and they are very friendly and enthusiastic.

Until I meet you all I send you Aussie hugs and best wishes.

Do You Consider The Ones You Left Behind In The Organization as Bro/Sis?

by AwakenedAndFree in

jw
friends

do you consider the ones you left behind in the organization as brothers and sisters?.

the ones who don't shun me are my brothers and sisters!

i have a friend/sister who is still in the organization.

BLISSISIGNORANCE

That is a very good question.

When I first started to have serious doubts and my hubby was making me THINK (god forbid) I was freaked out and felt that I could never leave. I couldn't imagine losing the world I'd worked so hard to be a part of, leaving the people I now had made my entire association after leaving lifetime friends behind. Who would I share my life with? Who could I trust? Where would I go?????????????????

Well, I left the borg and found most of those long, lost friends were still there waiting for me to come to my senses. They NEVER stopped loving me, I had left them! They came back into my life and they are my TRUE friends, like brothers and sisters. The ones in the borg were never family and most never gave a stuff. They dumped me when I stopped going along with the borg BS! When I stopped playing the dub game! When I spoke the TRUTH about the troof! When I exposed the corruption I knew about personally! They don't visit or ring, but boy are they over-qualified as shunners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't consider the ones I left behind as brothers, sisters or friends......................actually, I don't consider them at all. I only allow sincere, kind, gentle people into my life now, dubs don't fit that description from my experience.

Michael Jackson in the news again.....

by DebraDoll in

jw
friends

so sad..........arrest warrants were just executed against him for multiple counts of child molestation.

as a mom i am deeply appalled, as an ex witness i am saddened at his lack of power over his own life and ability to move forward, beyond the scarring of an abusive upbringing.

BLISSISIGNORANCE

Get the bastard....................he is sick and needs to be kept away from all children, including his own!

What I don't get is how the family that sued him for all those millions could take the money and run rather than have him charged and taken to court, exposing him and protecting other kids. When my kid was abused I did everything possible to protect other kids, god, I even got df'ed. And I felt more at peace doing that than if I'ld shut up for fear of the elders.

Anyhow, whatever happened to him in the past doesn't validate his actions now. They say most abusers were victims themselves! Well explain why so many victims are women yet the larger portion of abusers are males??????????? I was sexually abused yet I'm not an abuser! I know sooooooooo many females that were abused and non have been abusers themselves. It's all an excuse.

Michael Jackson is a pervert who just happened to have money and fame to use to his advantage. He has bought time but as they say..........'if you give someone enough rope they'll hang themselves.' And I think this time he's done it. About time too.

I hope those kids will be able to get over whatever that animal did to them.

I hate pedophiles.

How can they sleep at night???

by doodle-v in

how can members of the governing body sleep at night, when they claim to be the voice of god and so many people put faith in their twisted words?

my brother is 21 years old.

all his life he's been a jw.

(((((((((((((Doodle v))))))))))))))))

I can't begin to imagine how you must be feeling, but I do feel sad for you and your brother.

There's not much I can say except that I get so angry when I hear about people trusting the borg with their lives. After leaving I always thought ":thank goodness I never had to make such a choice (re: blood issue) with my children while we were dubs." I'ld never forgive myself!

You just do what you can to make him think, and the rest is up to him. He's an adult and I guess free-will is something we are all greatful for.

My thoughts are with you, stay strong and let's hope the gb eventually lose sleep over their blood guilt.

So many great actors/actresses from Australia....

by DanTheMan in

i just saw "mulholland drive", featuring the incredibly lovely naomi watts, who pulled off what is one of the most superb acting performances i've ever witnessed, she was spectacular.

i did a little bit of internet research after seeing the movie, because it was very strange and even though i enjoyed it, i couldn't make any sense of it.

among other things, i learn that the aforementioned ms. watts is an aussie.

BLISSISIGNORANCE

Cate Blanchett does fantastic accents......................and a very talanted actress too. Also Rachel Griffiths!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie..................oi, oi, oi.

Hope they win the rugby.
