i know that everyone who is a member of this site has heard the same sob story a million times but, this hopefully can help my healling process.
i have like most everyone else in this site have lost all that i had for friends and family.
i never had realized how tough it was for anyone to have this happen.
Freelife or should I say freedwilly? Greetings and welcome. My attitude is similiar to yours, If I'm not welcomed, I'm gone!
You now have your life, live it to the fullest with your mate. Give yourself some time for the road to smooth out. Like JIM-Tex said the other day in the chat room, he's blotted them (JW's) out of his mind, I have too.
I hope you feel much better now that you released the puke that was in your system. I wish you the best and many happy days with your mate.

after reading sevenofnines post i was wondering........who gets the money?.
who at the top (gb) gets to live in extravagant homes, be driven in limos, take fantastic vacations and buy what ever they want?
my stupidity maybe showing but where does the gb live, bethel?
You mean..............you don't get your monthly cheques? If not, you'd better make a
complaint at the head office, and by the way................. good luck!

wavering jw boy meets worldly girl.
boy confesses he is a jw, but it is "no big deal".
boy is polite and cleans under his fingernails.
I grew with a worldy girl and married her. Question, who had more influence over me? No regrets for marrying a wordly girl.

here are some comments from the guardian mag on this subject:.
studies on pigs' social behaviour at purdue university in the us, for example, have found that they crave affection and are easily depressed if isolated or denied playtime with each other.
the lack of mental and physical stimuli can result in deterioration of health and increased incidence of diseases.
Newsense or is it nuisance? Kidding of course. Question, with all your rhetoric, what would we do without an ASS?

in view of what has recently happened to rozalyn (rebel) i believe anyone who is considering attending a judicial committee should take note:.
i have always tried to love others from my own childhood upbringing.
i have been treated like a traitor.
Billybob, I share the same view. It's true when I'm not wanted, I'm gone. I 've had relationships of the same nature that is shared on this forum, over time, some have changed their views and I welcome them. Believe me, when these people realize how badly they have treated you, it torments them! An honest conscience does wonders.
There is truth in what Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."
I'm not going to make my life miserable because I'm no longer recognized as one of them, no way. When I see witnesses, I pity them. My mother always preached to us to pity those who are ignorant, witnesses or not.

dave and i went grocery shopping today, and after we came home, he noticed the propane tank cover for our rv was on the neighbor's front lawn.
on closer inspection, he discovered someone stole one of the propane tanks..............the full one, of course.
the trailer is only a year old.
It's never encouraging to hear such experiences, sorry to hear about it. Yes, it's sad when we have to tie or lock things up. Here's an interesting story that appeared in the newspaper some years ago. A man in Brooklyn was sitting at his friends steps all the while watching these movers move furniture from his apartment building not realizing that it was his furniture. Yes, they stole his furniture right in front of him! Imagine his feeling?

........reply to joker 10.
.......i just noticed your post........can't say i blame you for thinking that.
i mentioned i'm currently an elder and don't plan on leaving the organization...........but i probably won't be an elder much longer......as i'm not exactly the "ball of fire" they want.
DM, ignore those who down play your view or stance. Their complaining about the org, trying to control you, yet, they try to those 'impose' their personal views on YOU. Who's calling the kettle black?
I'm very independent, and if you believe what you believe and your content, SO BE IT! Don't let others think for you, THINK FOR YOURSELF. When YOUR 'spirit' moves you, move with it.
Yes, stay and share your observations with us and welcome to the forum.

usually it takes only a few seconds to have a first impression of someone.
the way they look, talk, what they do in life, or what other people say about them.
have you often been fooled by your first impression of someone, and found out later on that you were completely wrong?
Hi JH. First impressions are deceptive. I do not let first impressions guide me. I allow 'time' to be the truth revealer, which means I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. In my professions, I deal with many people and as such, I have to stay neutral. This type of attitude keeps me in the ball park of sanity.
There are times when it is obvious someone is trying to pull your leg or pull the wool over you. (your 6th sense comes into play) If I and when have doubts, I'll ask questions. There are times when I'll play a long with the person's game. Games can be interesting.
What's your impression of people always asking questions?

this is in reply to my post jehovahs-witness.com/6/62654/1.ashx (i still believe in god but) my post was read 193 times yet only 11 people responded.
(i do thank those who did) the post 3,000 already has 9 replies.
(no im not attacking shamuss post).
azaria, let me commend you for your post. Man did you ever hit the nail on the head! Most likely I'm guilty for not taking note of your posts. I tried to read as many as I can, but it's next to impossible to read and reply all. Personally, I have no excuse nor will I fabricate an excuse.
You made my heart proud for speaking out as you did. Take care and good health.
