...just to watch my aunt get married.
had you fooled there, huh?.
a few people who i know on the board know my family irl.
Cold:
I completely understand wanting to make a scene. I am very very tempted to show up at a meeting at the KH wearing something that will show off my tattoos and piercings, perhaps wearing my Doc Marten boots as well. Just to shock everyone and give them something to gossip about for a little while.
But unfortunately, it would kinda suck to do that at someone's wedding. I would do it at a normal meeting there, but not someone's wedding.
so i'm sitting here at work and it just dawned on me that i use the same phrase over and over subconsciously.
in my job i have lots of people that thank me on the phone and for some reason instead of saying "your welcome" (which i do use occasionally) i say "not a problem" or "no problem".. what is your little catch phrase that you subconsciously use?.

I also instead of saying "You're welcome" say "No problem". Not sure why. It's just the first thing that pops out of my mouth. Or I also tend to say "No, thank you" when someone thanks me, even if they haven't done anything for me.
well, it's been a long, hard road, but i'm finally almost finished with cosmysticism, the new religion i've been working on for the past year or so.
and i must say, i'm pretty proud of how it's turned out.
it's a delicate blend of love and wrath, mystery and science, history and fantasy.
Yes I am interested in yours as well. I am interested in reading about any religions. Especially if they have a touch of sci-fi to them.

Openminded:
Sounds like you've got a pretty good religion there.
I'd be interested in reading the text on it.

I am new to this board as well. I have been out for about 5-6 years, formally disfellowshipped in 1998, after going to the elders and telling them to disfellowship me. I was pretty much raised in the truth. The hardest part for me has been the guilt. Growing up always feeling guilty that I would never be good enough. Being told to try my best and MAYBE I'll live through Armageddon. Really sucks. I have also started celebrating holidays and birthdays, mostly because my husband does (though hes not at all religious in any way). I have not as of yet told my mom about that. My mom was not very strong in the "truth" and so she always felt guilty about that. Then I left and my sister left. My mom blames herself for us leaving, thinking that if she had been stronger, we would never have left. I love my mom to death and to know that she carries around all this guilt because of this religion really makes me angry. My mom is a good person and she shouldn't have to feel that way. But she really believes them. That really hurts me.
looking for people in the southern california area i have been out (in-active) for over 5 years.
just looking for friends to talk to that understand how hard it is go on after living a jw life.
