Reclaiming my national identity

by Lady Lee in

i love this country.

it is the home of my childhood and though there was a lot of pain there were the good times - going off to the park and looking for frogs and snakes, getting stuck in the mud, learning to swim in lake ontario, watching my 8 yr old brother jump off the 25 foot tower in the swimming pool below.

i was older but he had the spunk.

Canada is the second-largest country in the world.

OK, explitives aside.....

Like LadyLee, I too was born in Ontario; but closer to Detroit than I was Toronto.

But I like it here; left southwestern Ontario (north of Lake Erie) while I was very young and settled near Barrie, Ontario.

I did live briefly in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia within a year of my birth; my one and only sister was born in Nova Scotia. Then we moved back to southwestern Ontario (1964-1966). My sister was killed by a drunk driver in March 1967 (Barrie-Alliston).

We remained in south-central Ontario until 1969 - thus the occasional Barrie references.

My father was in the Canadian Armed Forces.

We eventually were posted to New Brunswick; nevermind that our family roots were rooted in Cape Breton Island. We spend numerous summers along the Bras d' Or Lakes.

Great memories of my childhood until we moved to New Brunswick.

But without getting into a long drawn-out story; my JW influence began in 1976/77.

My parents split-up/seperated (yawn ) in 1977.

So I was a great catch as a disillusioned teenager.

MANY, MANY, Many, many years later....I get over all of that.

I too have been from coast-to-coast here in Canada.

Like many denizens of large countries, you know what works for you.

I've lived in: Ontario, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Only places I did not visit are the three Arctic territories.

Ontario (Toronto) is a great place for me. I love Ontario overall despite the occasional team rivalries that come up periodically.

Great post Lady Lee.

You've lived so many places and have finally found your place.

You were born here; I was NOT born in Toronto; but I adore it.

I've been to Vancouver - 2x and yet...felt totally unconnected.

Montreal, did jacksquat for me.

Regina - was a great experience. Great place for chill for a few months (great folks in Saskatchewan).

Alberta. GORGEOUS province; mind you I think they're destroying the north - but folks eventually 'get-it'.

OK, no one asked...so I had best be careful and make my presence short n' sweet.

Best wishes to all my fellow ex-JW Canadians.

Sulu, Gay?????

Won't work Shamus.

You have to include yourself in some sort of public quandery of sorts.

Attention seeking: it's all about 'self'.

Sulu (George Takai) he's set; he's A-OK! He's been to the outer planets including Uranus.

Overall, you'll have to start another thread where you're tragic, drama-ridden, something with 'god' or 'jesus' in there and homosexuality/gay - and dude:

20 pages is almost a given.

Time for a new thread.

We all know the tried-and-true mega-page topics.

HOMOSEXUALITY: piece of cake man .

George Takei (aka Sulu From Star Trek) Finally Gets Engaged at 71!

turns out he's gay, lol.

boldly where no man has gone before.....

RAYZORBLADE

What's with your bloody 10 page fetish Shamus.

You're a f**kin' knob!

You Albertans! Tsk! Tsk! Obsessed by former 60's TV icons.

George Takei, is a bold man.

He's funny as hell too! I've seen him do some cool sh*t on American television.

BUT...ooops, off topic: to get 11-21-31 pages...

..PUT "GAY" in your subject title.

You're not popular; you're probably a loser - that's OK, but you'll get 10-20-30 pages.

We recommend it.

Put 'GAY' in your new thread.

Judgement towards others: awaits!!

Possibly.

The ignoring of this thread is a conspiracy.

friends

i am going to have an interview for a chirpractor's assistant's job this morning.

i was raised in a family of chiropractors and this looks like a good fit for me.

please send out the prayers and thoughts from now through the interview at 8:30 am and through out the day in the minds of the interviewers.

RAYZORBLADE

Listen here you; it's not about god/GOD etc., it's about how incredible and qualified you are.

I believe, IN YOU, more than anything else. Really!

Just go in there with your best; be composed and confident.

That'll fair well in their view: I HOPE!

GOOD LUCK!

Honestly, I'd sink the boat.

But, tell everyone including athiests, religious folks: DON'T GET IN THE F**KING BOAT!

Why?

Because someone is probably going to tip it over; throw someone over; sink it (me).

Be forewarned, but test the theory out first ... see what happens!

Get back to us, IF you survive!

All I will say is: I shared communal spirits at his premises.

Lightning was frequent from 'above' (Toronto, ON. Canada) 20:00 hrs. during our discourse (June 15, 2008).

We lit a fire and offered 4 sacrificial pieces: 2 veggie/2 beef burgers in honour of the Cumulonimbus clouds swirling overhead.

We had some blessed spirits courtesy of a brewery northwest of here (hit by an F2 tornado in 2000); Wellington Brewery of Guelph, Ontario.

I've been at the alter of Rocco: so you Roccoists know what I am talking about.

Otherwise, I am here being somewhat well-behaved.

Happy 8th Birthday JWD !

by Simon in

i'm just sat working on a new version of the forum (to bring it more up-to-date and make it better for non-ie browsers) and notice the date on the first post of the backup database that i'm working against ... 23 march 2000.. i can't believe it's been 8 years !

.

thank you to everyone who has participated over the years and helped keep this place alive to help others coming out of the wts.

Happy 8th Anniversary Simon/Angharad.

Sorry, I've been such a twat in-between times (2003-2008).

Congratulations! < there's NOTHING like it on the internet, anywheres.

In January 2003, it sure helped me out after the sudden loss of a dear friend (brain anerysm).

I cannot explain how and why I came here, after nearly 20 years (then).

Thanks Simon.

Really!

Hi guys, I'm new here.

by spanteach in

jw
friends

i'm a former jw or joho as one of my sister's schoolmates used to call us.

(reminds me of the hojos we used to stay at for assemblies :d) i was raised as a witness, baptized at the age of 14 due to my father's constant pressuring.

i'm in my mid-30s now and i stopped attending meetings three years ago.

RAYZORBLADE

Spanteach.

Looks like you're an independent thinker.

Good!

Keep on being yourself; keep on being analytical.

I won't go browbeat you for your beliefs; I've been there and done that; you've heard it all / read it all before on here (yada-yada).

South Carolina (on an tangent), I was there in October 2007. Spent time up in the Spartanburg - Greenville area. Loved it!

Just the same, take your time with all things here (grains of salt - OK, buckets of salt in some cases).

Ask plenty of questions; be critical and don't take OUR word for anything: research everything and anything.

Your folks - if you're on good terms with them; love'm anyways.

I find your posts refreshing; and grounded.

I hope you'll be forthright and challenging in your observations here.

Best to you, regardless.

Respectfully yours.

JW Closet Drinkers

by shamus100 in

jw
friends

how many here have had jw friends that can only have a good time when they drink?

i've known plenty - ones with obvious drinking problems.

not necessarialy alcoholics, but ones that equate good times with drinking, and drinking alone.

RAYZORBLADE

Shamus.

Another sad reality is; there's a few here who do similarly.

"I" for one, am guilty of this.

I enjoy my beer/liquor.

The interesting part of all this is, WUI (Writing Under the Influence). Not a DUI (as we all know it), but writing UNDER the influence.

Not like driving drunk; but writing drunk with various fallouts.

Whether or not practicing Jehovah's Witnesses drank/binge drank; some of us, post-JW, do similarly.

I've done that here.

(moderators are pulling this one over to the admin-forum) yes, Scully. <yup! Tsk! Tsk! (shame-shame-shame on me)

It's not an exclusive JW practice; it's part of 'some' human behaviours.

Jehovah's Witnesses, are more human than you'd actually think..... -minus the belief system; are we more similar than we'd like to admit?

Just a thought.
