  I'm feel so awesome right now because I just made a great dinner for my fiance.
  
  I'm no cook but if I do say so my self I did a pretty good job tonight.
  
  I made mongolian beef for the first time. It tastes pretty good.
  
  I can't wait for my fiance to get home from work. He's going to be so surprised that I actually attempted a new dish. I imagine he'll faint when he finds out it tates really yummy.

  How uncomfortable would it be for you to just tell him the truth about yourself. Are you sure he has no idea you are not a dub?

  NaPoLeOn DyNaMiTe.......who liked it?

  anybody else love this movie as much as i did??

  i think it says a lot about the type of person you are, or at least what kind of sense of humor you have, if you liked this movie or hated it.. so far, i've not met anyone who has been neutral on this movie - usually they either love it or hated it!

  meetings are dragging me down.

  it sucks because i still live at home and have no choice but it has gotten to the point where i have left early at times just because i cannot stand to hear all the b.s from the platform.

  how do i just keep doing what i have to do till i know i can leave?

  I understand that... living my life and all but i mean is this all there is? I mean I go to school, find a job, married kids and then die? Is it heaven? Hell? Some Paradise? Maybe I'll be reincarnated? I dunno. I mean, I don't know.

  I'm just so petrified of death. It honestly keeps me awake at night. Is there something wrong with me? Could it be a real phobia or something?

  Stillawitness, I really do feel for you because I know these thoughts can be terrifying. I go through these type of anxiety attacks every now and then. I know exactly how it feels to be afraid of the future and even negative about it. As J-dubs we learned there is nothing else out there for us except Jehovah and his paradise. Once we start to doubt that after years and years of knowing nothing else it scares us. These are feelings most of us go through. You have to start living life. Find the beauty and happiness around you. Though it may not seem like it at times the world is full of more beauty than the J-dubs ever allowed us to believe. Maybe there are some social clubs at school you can get involved in. In my opinion you need the be around people who have a healthy outlook on life, non-religious people or at least people that are not fanatical about their religion. Keep yourself as busy as possible with things non related to the religion. I believe you will get through this if you keep telling yourself you are okay and do things to really make yourself better. I hope that knowing we care about you, even though we don't know you, helps you and comforts you to some extent. Maybe you can look for an ex-jw meetup group in your area, if you are comfortable with that. There are so many great, healthy ex-Jdubs out there who can provide you with the support you need. I wish you the best and feel free to pm me here any time. Sandy

  I'm doing some research into my family history. On my grandfather's Army discharge papers it lists his birthplace as "EZLET FAVAN'S TEX". He was born in 1926.

  I looked on the website for the state of Texas and I couldn't find the city, not even anything close to the town name.

  I hope somebody can help. Thanks.

  I would love to meet up with anyone I can when we get settled there. I'll have no other friends or family there and I know it's going to get quite lonely for me, for awhile.

  Should I go to the Docs?

  by Jordan in

  ok, earlier i was sitting here on the pc, when my mum comes in and says it looks like i've got a lump behind my ear, i go and have a look, and she's right, there's a lump one side, but not behind my other ear, so i'm pretty sure it's not part of my skull.

  now i didn't notice this before.

  but after i was told about it, i swear it's starting to hurt... is it worth getting checked out by the doc, or is it one of those things you can leave and it'll go away?

  <div>Good for you Jordan. I'm so happy to know you are going to the Doc to get it checked out.
  
  I know it can be scary but I really think you'll feel better after you see the doctor.
  
  The pain could be psychological. Whenever somebody complains of pain around me I start feeling similar pain. But I'm a little looney that way.
  
  I am sure you are fine but I would go to the doctor anyways just to be sure.
