Overbeer: sounds good to me. these are a special request because I think she likes to dip her toast in the yokes. Otherwise, cheese on anything always works.

Celia: thanks also. I think that she would also like sunny side up; I know that she likes them done, runny not slimy.

Sometimes, I get a request from the wife for egg over easy. While I am an excellent cook; I always have trouble with eggs. Any suggestions on how to cook eggs over easy? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Do You Regard This Place As A Rehab Centre?
by Englishman into clarify:.
on this site, and others, i regularly come across people who say they are "moving on", or "getting a life for themselves", or simply stating that they have "outgrown this place".. now, i'm not talking about people who have simply got bored with posting, or are cheesed off with someone else and decide not to post anymore.
i'm talking about ex's who have come here purely as some sort of therapy exercise and believe that, once recovery is achieved, that "moving on" is a necessary conclusion to their re-adjustment back to normality.. in other words, like sandra bullock believed in "28 days", they assume that leaving is a sign that they are no longer operating dysfunctionally.

O wise Englishman! I guess that I benefited from this forum indirectly through my wife's participation. Now I am here, and I think that I as well as others can benefit when we freely share thoughts and expressions. Whatever stage of recovery we deem ourselves to be in really doesn't matter as much as the fact that we are accepting control of our own lives and trying to make the most of it.

My Story
by Jennie in(note from mom -- cruzanheart -- our jennie, who is 9 years old, wanted very badly to join the forum, so we agreed that she could as long as she posts and reads while sitting on one of our laps, for censorship purposes!
she wrote the following essay over the weekend after we had a talk with her about the circumstances surrounding her grandfather's death.
she's letting me type it, but the spelling and punctuation is hers.).

Hi. Jennie. I am Blondie's husband and I have not been posting to the board for very long, so I don't know much about your family. It is okay to feel angry or confused about matters in life that don't make a lot of sense. Your post and drawing show that you love your family very much. I look forward to having further discussions with your parents and with you.

Since this forum is for cleansing and healing through sharing, I want to share some confessions of an ex-elder. How could I have allowed myself to be conned into becoming an elder? And, after becoming an elder, why did it take me 3 years to finally figure out the hypocrisy of the organization? I tried to follow my conscience; tried to apply the kind of love that Jesus showed. But self-examination in an elder body is not allowed; you must become a company man. I tried to live my life through examples of showing love to my wife; my family; those who desparately reached out for love. But, no; the organization comes first, and you will be shown that you must conform to the organization's standards. I battled for awhile, tried to use the bible and research to stand up to them. But there was always the elder's book and the secret letters; the upspoken rules handed down by the traveling brothers. These are what really mattered
.
Why did I allow myself under the guise of "freedom of speech" to be emotionally,spiritually dissected by these men in their attempt to break me, to get me to follow the company line? Bodies of elders do to their fellow brothers things that would never be allowed to happen to publishers. So, I decided not to play the elder game anymore. I also decided not to play the KH game anymore. But when I did play the game, did I do anyone a disservice by not being more honest?
I am thankful for the few that I was able to help. I think a two sisters who were sexually assaulted by a brother. Their personal thanks to me for my support meant alot. I think of the family who had to confront the issue of suicide in their family. They were thankful of my caring. And, I think of those who were crushed by those who were uncaring; I tried to show them that Jesus would not act like that, that there is someone who cares. But now I am no longer under their spell. My worth has never been measured by any position or responsibility given to be by anyone. If it took this experience to get me to this point; then I am thankful for that. I have my life and my wife and for that I am thankful. And for those who have been hurt by an elder, I am sorry.

Circuit Assembly this past weekend
by Jourles inthis past weekend we had our circuit assembly.
you guessed it, same ol' same ol.
' on saturday, the overall theme was based on materialism.

sounds like the same old line to me also. I found it interesting as an ex-elder and account servant to examine the WTS accounting practices. Generally, they do charge so much a person to determine the expense of the assembly. And some the costs factored are the actual expenses of the assembly; but the majority of the costs factored in the per person cost are for future projects to be determined. I found the resolutions by the elders for additional monies to be forwarded to the WTS to be unconfortable; but the passing of monies by the elders to the traveling brothers was more so.

Hi. I am irreverent. I am new to this discussion board, but you may know my wife; she is blondie. I am looking forward to getting to know many of you. I am not real comfortable as far as computer skills; so this may be uncomfortable for awhile. However, I will leave you with a joke. What is the difference between a JW and a canoe? A canoe sometimes tips.
