hi everybody and happy new year.
2007 is the year i turn 40, in fact in exactly one month's time to be precise.. i've noted that a lot of people on jwd are a similar age to me.
i think it's because it takes us this long to pluck up the courage to finally leave the borg.. i need to know how turning 40 makes you feel.
47 here and loving it.
for our world.
we need to stop.. just stop.. stop for a moment.. before anybody.
that may hurt anyone else.. we need to be silent.. just silent.. heart silent for a moment.. before we forever lose.
I just loved that boy. It was so sad when he died.

i told my wife (faithful jw) that this past sunday, i found some objection to the .

don`t push too hard..Little bits at a time,get the job done...OUTLAW
good suggestion
This is how I find myself out. Hubby always asked questions. Sometimes those questions created quite a bit of fuss between us. Many times I would storm out of the room, mad as hell. But what he said always swirled around my head and eventually I started to question on my own.

it's official, we will be moving to the toronto area within the next month or so.
my husband was offered an incredible job in canada so we flew up here to check it out.
we totally fell in love with the place.
Oakville is a very nice city. You will enjoy it. But you will be surrounded by Jdubs
from a fellow Ontarian
over the years, the society has included half a page in their annual guidelines when planning for and attending the district convention.. in particular, they have been very insistent that only hotels on the recommended lodging list be used.. .
the language in this month's km is even more insistent than last years.. .
here is the text in full, with the original emphasis.. .
i never heard any such thing or saw any action taken about people going "out" for their refreshments or food.
Well, come to soutwestern ontario, Canada and this is exactly what is done. For the last few years a few months before the Kitchner district convention a letter is read telling the r&f NOT to go out to get their lunch and if they do go out to put it in a generic bag. Apparently the stadium vendors have been raising a fuss because of the business they are losing by being closed during the JW conventions. wanna
just wondering if anyone else feels the same way.. i've been out of the organization for about 4 years, but i still love jehovah and jesus, and i want to serve them the right way.
does anyone here feel a great sense of religious confusion now that you are not attending meetings?.
at the moment, i feel miserable, since i'm going through a divorce.
Hi Depressed,
Remember this: there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. This will pass for you and at some point you will regain a measure of happiness.
Give your self some time. If you can afford it, find yourself a good therapist that will be able to help you sort out your feelings.
When it comes to spiritual hunger, many of us have it. I feel spiritually starved myself at times. I find it a great source of comfort when I try to be attuned to God by prayer and meditation and taking a little time to read the gospels.
I wish you all the best and hope that the good wishes you receive from members of this board can comfort you.
regards

Ps . Please realize most opinions in here are Apostate opinions of people who didnt recover , or worse ....fornicators , adulterers , themselves ( 1 Cor 6 :9, 10 ) And It would a shame to mix with them either in there ideas or pursuites , for the results would be as negative as their ideas

Nothing gets me angrier that an self-righteous ipocrite. I am sorry to say that is what you are.
Most here are not fornicators or adulterers and are not a negative influence.
This place as been a sanctuary for a lot of people. The knowledge and experience of some here is staggering.
If you put aside you self-righteous pomp, you might learn a thing or two yourself.
My husband corresponds with him on a regular basis.
A couple of weeks ago, I spoke with him on the phone and he and his wife are doing reasonably well.
He is a wonderful human being. He is not bitter and always speaks in a upbeat and encouraging manner.

thanks everyone for your comments.
yes i was in deep.
if i was just a little less curious i have no doubt that i'd be super elder today.
hello fellow Canadian.
Nice story
