Hey thnaks everyone, I think that I will borrow sevenofnine's boots and wear the dress, lol. Gopher: Yeah my Mom is happy I am going, but I know she is hoping is a start to me coming back and not a one night event (which it is a one night event). Myself, I think I might actually have to join you in a glass of wine when it is all said and done, lol maybe two glasses of wine. I loved you comment Minimus "Don't be goofy, Goofy, lol. I probably wear the dress, just because it's new and I do want to wear it soon.

Ok, advice please. I just bought a red layered dress. I don't know how to explain it completely, but it is a red chiffon and a copy of a very famous German styler. I know some wholesalers and bought this dress for $70 but it would retail for $400 if in the store. I have been advised not to wear this dress to Memorial because it would draw attention to myself and look bad since the attention should be centered on the occasion. It is a modest dress, actually ankle length and a little flouncy. But very elegant and it is attention getting. I have been told that I will look like I am being rebellious after all this time of not being at the Hall and walking in with a red chiffon dress. I just fell in love with this dress and had to have it and I want to wear it Wednesday. I am going in the first place to please family. I know how it would hurt them if I did not attend. But I don't want to look like I am causing trouble. Do you think it will look like I am trying to make a scene or wear a nice dress?

I think it is hurt in a person's life. A person gets to a point that they just can't stand to be rejected or betrayed one more time and still maintain thier sanity. I think it can happen to anyone but for those raised as Witnesses it is even worse because we were rejected as kids when our personalities were being formed. School was hell for a lot and the people in the congregations could be very judgmental. I think if a person wants to live a happy life somehow though you just have to take the chances and try to open up and ignore the times we do get hurt. No expert here though.

Thanks everyone for listenning. Be Wise I think I may try your idea of writing things down and then looking at it later. It might help, my head is pretty screwed up at the moment in life. MoJO, thanks for the invitation to talk. Hey where do you live, (city)? I wish I knew some of you here in my city, but I need to be careful right now.

Hi all, just thought I would vent a little. I am more mad at myself than anything. Yesterday (Saturday) morning, after a very nice Friday night of partying and chatting it up at my favorite lounge, knock knock on my door. It is about 10am, I am am just finishing my breakfast, long shirt on, no bra, hair not fixed no makeup. Knock Knock. I have a door with glass on it and a nice see through white curtain over it. I know they saw me dash and hide. My friends would not be knocking on my door unannouced on a Saturday morning, they would be in about the same situation as me. I could see there were two people. I know it was the brothers. I have felt so guilty and depressed since that. I feel horrible for not openning up but I was not presentable and it brought back a flood of emotions. I guess I am upset that they visit me because they have to, either to fulfill their shepparding calls a little late or Memorial invite. I am also upset that they didn't call ahead. Had they called I would have been dressed, made up and had coffee and donuts of some sort. Don't get me wrong, I have zero intention of going back, but at one point these people were my friends and I hate being a bitch and hiding like that,and especially since I know they saw me and I probably hurt their feelings. Then of course my Mom and sis lay a guilt trip on me when I mentioned it. I have felt depressed and went on a stupid drinking binge since yesterday morning, something that I have had under control for the most part. I have been crying and having this emotional thing brought back, too many memories. I was reading the Mission statement on the Awake last night, someone had posted about that. It changed from declaring the 1914 generation not ending, to now Armageddon coming soon. It made me so upset that I spent all my life so far and set my goals according to "the hope" and now it has all changed and now they show up at my door wanting me to go back, I am sure. I am just so upset and want to live my life and see my family members (which they never will) live their life normal. If I see the Brothers or Sisters I want it on a social basis only. I don't want the guilt pressure and all these horrible emotions that keep coming back. Thanks for letting me vent.

Time for me 2 say goodbye
by Iron Eagle inyeah i've decided to say goodbye folks.. i've had some interesting discussions on this forum, yet i will cease to operate as an active member as of now.
i came to this conclusion via a number of reasons; .
(a) many people on this board have had such a bad experience as a witness that they have decided to deviate so much from the bible and what it tells us.

Sometimes the slow fade is best in all cased of life, including this forum should a person decide to leave, why hurt others feelings? Everyone here seems a little lost but a lot nice, why hurtful parting comments? Best to fade away. Maybe in the future you will see this when leaving a group or person. But best wishes to you.

Women raised as JWs: Did the WTS views on women negatively impact you?
by berylblue ini'd really like to know.. my experience was that women who were raised in the "truth" and married to a good jw brother did not know how to make decisions.
from reading this board, this would, however, appear to be the least of their problems.. what specifically, if any, were the problems associated with always being told you were a second class person and not capable of making decisions?.

I attracted to the bossy ego maniacs. I know this is horrible. If a guy treats me nice I just don't have sexual feelings for him. I am working on this mentally though because I know it is stupid on my part. I am always most comfortable with a man who takes care of me so to speak and takes the lead. But most of these men aren't great catches because when it comes down to it they don't respect women. I think this mentallity comes from my raising as a JW. Always looking up to the men, the Elders to take care of problems and our family has some males with very strong JW male mentality which I grew up with. It is sad that I cannot respect a nice flexilbe mentality in a man, somehow it seems weak to me but I know it is actually the strong man who can be that way. My mind knows but my feelings and attractions have a hard time following. Anybody else have this dilema?

Your most powerful spiritual saying is?????
by anti-absolutist inwe all go through times of stress and sad times.
what is a simple, yet profound saying that you have reminded yourself of to make these troubling times easier?
you don't have to believe in a literal god, just that there are higher thoughts within us that we all are able to draw from.. the one that has worked the best for me is: .
