Melancholy, memories and lost moments
by Simon inif i close my eyes i can be in my grand-parents living room again.
it seemed so big when i was little but i wonder now how me and my sisters used to fit in it along with our cousins, our parents and our grandparents.
i remember the tiny little stool i used to sit on - liam sat on it last time we visited my grandad.. i can remember us all watching the morcambe and wise show on tv and going out to play the the back alley.

One of our daughters in law said this:
by Mulan inour daughter in law, tracey, who was never a jw, is a hair stylist.
i went to the place she works for a haircut the other day, and was telling her about the big party at joy and steve's last month.
we talked about a lot of things about the party, and then she said this:.

I have been reading this board for a few years. Mulan, you are one of my favorite posters. I have mixed feelings about what your DIL said. I see those of you here, who exhibit signs of shedding the cloak of jw's, then *kabam* you revert back to blinded wolves in line for slaughter. Many who have been posting for years, still carry much hurt and pain. The inabliity to get on with your lives is the number one sign of this. May I suggest that you, quit posting and reading for awhile. Go out and explore the real world, without the safety cloak of this board. I feel that many of you still have much growing to do, and don't even know it. On the other hand, those who have been out for years, have much knowledge they can pass on. And the comfort of releasing your mind to "those that can understand" is needed by all.
So what is the answer here? When do you move on? Can you ever move on? Will you always be stuck 50 years from now on an ex-jw board rehashing, and rehashing? When does it ever end? Why did I choose now to start posting, just when I realized how addictive this board is?

some because they chose to give their child up for adoption.

I too have lost a child to miscarriage. I will never forget the unborn on this day, as I celebrate with those I can hold. Thank you for the reminder. Congratulations and a peaceful day to all the mothers.
