  was supposed to go to turkish embassy for cultural celebration.

  First I agree with the previous posters, a boyfriend being that jealous about someone from your past doesn't deserve your love!

  And I also like to say that in a way you're right, birthdays aren't always that special. Don't make it a bigger thing than it is! Sometimes birthdays are a blast, with lots of fun, laughter and happiness... and sometimes they just suck. My husband's birthday last year was a great party with his family and our friends who all came to visit. This year his birthday was just not so good... *understatement*... All our friends and family are far away now that we've moved to Spain, and we had a lot of stress to deal with so we took it out on each other and that way his birthday was nothing but a disappointment. (My own birthdays are never special... I still have a problem celebrating them other than having a dinner and a glass of wine with hubby).

  So like I said, birthdays can be a joy, but don't get your expectations up too high or you'll be disappointed.

  And you know what? Before you know it another year has passed... time for another birthday

  Irony: JWs who refuse to answer their door on Halloween!

  with halloween fast approaching, it struck me looking back how ironic it was when the worm turned every year on halloween, when jws turn off the porch light, draw the curtains, stumble around in the dark, etc.

  when the worldlies come to knock on their door, lol!.

  on the other hand, i remember the family escaping from the fortress at dusk to go to a movie, bowling, etc.

  Oh yes, I recall... doors shut, lights off and silently hiding untill all the kids were gone again. I always felt so stupid doing that!

  Last year I dressed up as a witch, had lots of candy and decorated the front door with a devilish laughing and moving (electronic) witch doll with lit eyes... Soon as the kids rang the doorbell I opened the door, clapped my hands and the witch doll would start her laughing... hahahaha, the looks on those little faces! They loved it and didn't want to leave, just clapping their hands over and over again to hear that laughter...

  I don't think we'll see anyone this year, since we're living in the outback now... But instead we'll have a wonderful Samhainparty, just me and my hubby.

  i am still a jw.

  i cant give any more details than this because of my family members who are devout jws.

  i cherish a larger picture in my heart without anybody knowing ittrue worship means love and compassion, (luke 10:25-37) not belonging to any organization or having a set of belief system!

  Welcome Abiather!

  I like your two 'rules'. My two rules are 'do what you want as long as you harm none' (including oneself) and 'whatever you do, good or bad, will return to you threefold' (sort of 'what goes around comes around').

  Enjoy your stay at JWN

  ...to my boyfriend, we're going to have one of those weddings ('gay' weddings to the straights).. although my jw family know i'm gay, and not going to meetings, only one of my sisters has sussed the situation.

  but i think after 3 years it's about time i told them.

  especially if sometime in the future i'll turn up with a (gay) wedding ring.

  Congratulations Frogonmytoe! Wish you a wonderful happy life with your fiance and in time a beautiful wedding. Let nobody judge you, what they say tells more about them than it does about you!

  Btw... I love the jokes made here... LOL

  since my coming out publicly, i have received a lot of kind words.. i wanted to thank all of you from the depth of my heart.. .

  on the other hand, i need to make two things clear:.

  i'm often encouraged to use my position to create cartoons or stories for nickelodeon, etc.... i do not have that kind of fire-power.

  This guy certainly looks insane to me... but who am I? Just shake the dust off your feet and move on... to use some phrase I recall from somewhere...

  What are you NOT allowed to say as a Jehovahs Witness?

  by The Quiet One in

  "one of the bible study was listening and singing the song by jason mraz titled lucky with the chorus going like this;.

  quote.

  'i'm lucky i'm in love with my best friend.. lucky to have been where i have been.. lucky to be coming home again.. lucky we're in love in every way.. lucky to have stayed where we have stayed.. lucky to be coming home someday..'.

  Being a teenager I wasn't allowed to sing the song from Irene Cara, "Fame"... because of the phrase "I'm gonna make it to heaven"...

  And 'bless you' after sneezing wasn't allowed either, toasting with a glass of wine wasn't and congratulating someone with their birthday wasn't allowed nor receiving birthday wishes on your own birthday. Oh and don't forget the New Year's wishes... I recall when I was seventeen working at an office and the new year had just started. After a couple of days off we came back in the office and everybody started shaking hands and kissing each other and wishing each other their wishes for the upcoming year... and I just stood there, nearly paralized, hands behind my back, sheepishly smiling and praying they would leave me alone. It was all so embarrassing...

  Maybe he's coming back with a new account, new name...? After the things I've read from SBF I can hardly imagine he's going back to the WTS... He's probably p'ing his pants laughing about us...

  I´m completely flabbergasted... Must be some silly ´wee´ Scottish joke, right?
