i think someone on this forum is a rat....or troll as i think they are called.. i am sitting at home last night watching fear factor, and there was a knock at the door.. i opened it to find two elders from my old hall.

they did not seem very sincere when they apologized for disturbing me without notice.. they said the purpose of there visit was to just to check up on me, find out if my circumstances or opinions had changed.

we ended up in a huge conversation about my "inactivity", they wanted to know if there was anything keeping or holding me back from the truth, and wanted to know if there was anything i needed to get of my chest, cause guilt has away of keeping people back.

What I wonder is do they read the stories about abuse, broken families, wasted lives, and lies, or do they just search for clues as to who the posters are? How can they read some of these threads and come away with only ammo?

Several people offered to help, including Nathan who I eventually emailed. It's been a while, and I realized I had never thanked him. I wanted to tell him Thank You, and everyone else who offered. Most of you are aware that I have family in the org. Despite their involvment we actually have a really good relationship. I always want to bring some things up, but usually lose my nerve, due to may fear that it will hurt our relationship. So, anyway on another board I got into a discussion with a JW, and was really kicking his hiney if I do say so myself, but he believed he had me on the ropes, cause I hadn't posted the full text articles for the quotes I used. What's funny is that he posted some of the full text articles, and the only thing he proved was that nothing was taken out of context. When I told him that I would get the full text articles, but that he would have to wait while I tried to contact some of my friends, he laughed. "What friends could you possibly have that would have that information? Any?" he asked. I smiled silently at my computer knowing something he didn't know. These kind of debates usually end up only planting seeds if nothing else, but I use them as sort of a trial run, so one day when I muster up the courage, and don't back out, I will have all my ducks in a row when I talk to my family. This is really not what this post is about, but I wanted to give some background.

What he didn't know is that I could come here, and post a request for help, and get it. I could either get the full text articles, or find out where to get them, something he was positive no non-J-dub could possibly do. I have been a member here for a relativly short time, but I love being here. I am blessed in real life with some very good friends, and a wonderful family. Never having been much of a computer nut, I was surprised how quickly you could feel that people you've never even met could be your friends. I have seen people here offer heartbreaking personal stories that have inspired me more than anything I've ever heard. I have seen total strangers offer support and consolation. Sometimes if only words of encouragement, which sometimes mean the most. The people on this board are some of the most intelligent, compassionate, funny, and supportive I have ever known. There are disagreements of different levels sometimes, but what's a family without a few dysfunctional moments? Everyone here has their own views, and their own opinions, but you guys are able to put that aside and come together in fine style when you know someone needs you. Just like a family.I never get tired of coming here, and reading updates of Silentlambs, or JG's and others take on the latest WT, or people's takes on the latest television programming, or just an uplifting or funny stories someone wants to tell. People share their greatest intimate personal stories about babies, jobs, spouses, kids graduating college, birthdays, christmas trees, whatever. It's all out there, and I am so happy to be a part of it. Anyway the short of the long of it is, Thank You. I want to thank you that I know where to come if I need words of encouragment, or research help, or just somewhere to talk about the latest thing I heard in the news. I have never been a JW, but I have to admit a sadness before I came here. There were many unresolved issues having to deal with JW's that I never had a chance to express. Many things have felt good just to get them off my chest. Thank you for listening. I was bored with the mundane in and outs of my life, and I found someplace to go where everyday there is someone or something new. Thank you for your parts in that. I have had the great oppurtunity to talk more one on one with some in chat, you know who you are, thank you for the talks and fun we've had in chat. Overall, I just want to express my gratitude for being able to come here, and I want to thank you all for just being yourselves. With Valentines day coming up, I want to send a big Valentines day smooch to all of you.

I don't mind the mindless new "reality" shows, but I prefer to watch The Osbournes or the Anna Nicole show. The latest buzz on this one though, is that Fox is really trying to fool the viewers. Many believe that this guy is not really poor.

Sharp at Sunset

That's right, when the sun goes down, your energy and creativity go way up. This is your on time, when you're most inspired thoughts come pouring in and when you're most motivated to venture out. Are you into sports, dinner parties, or just hanging out with friends as the sun sinks out of sight? We thought so. Because that's the time of day that really empowers you and makes you feel alert.

You're especially dynamic at dinner, cocktail parties, and early evening functions, when your persistent wit and wisdom are at their finest. And after dinner, when everyone else is putting on their jackets and preparing to head home, you're the kind of person who stays alert, inquisitive, and ready for more world-changing conversation.

Being such a superstar at sunset has its drawbacks too. Right when you're coming up with your most fantastic ideas, most of the world is too tired to listen. Sure, this might leave you with a limited audience from time to time, but when you're on, you're on, and those lucky enough to be around value your enthusiasm. But even superstars hit a slump at some point in the day. That's when you need to remind yourself that there are tricks to get you through. Like grabbing an extra cup of coffee, getting some fresh air, or taking a power shower to rejuvenate you. And when that happens, there's no stopping you. Every hour can be your power hour!

This is definitly me-of course I didn't need a quiz to tell me that I wasn't a morning person!
