  just stopping in to say hi and i?m ok. thanks to those who sent concerned emails.. update on nancy: she is going through counseling at a voluntary facility where she will remain for another 1.5 weeks.

  we visit her often and she is very homesick by now.

  she is looking forward to a fresh start, which we are all working hard to give her.

  This is just very very encouraging news, Corvin.

  I'm very happy that this part of the process went in your favour.

  My fingers and toes are crossed for the next phase.

  Maybe just a day of remembrance of all the lost moms, dads, sons, daughters who died.

  The firefighters, emergency crew, police officers..who gave their lives in rescue efforts.

  to all those who lost their lives that day.

  I remember

  Good morning everyone.

  Pictures say more than words sometimes. Thanks to the poster who posted the pictures to this site on Page 5, I believe. Most of the other site don't have the pictures and story there anymore.

  Today, is always a day of remembrance for me.

  It was just horrible that fateful day of Sept 11, 2001.

  I will always remember watching the two towers collapse on T.V. .. and feeling a sense of emptiness and just complete loss. It was like hearing thousands of voices screaming out for help and then silence.

  I remember driving immediately to school to get my children and bringing them home.

  I remember two days of trying to get through to relatives in the U.S. and not knowing if they may have been on one of those planes.

  I remember for some days, there being eerie kind of silence in the skies. All flights grounded.

  There are alot of new ones on the forum these days. .. Do you remember?

  with head bowed in deep thought this morning

  first a bit of background about this poster... married, 2kids, 12 year old and 15 month old, wife and i inactive for about 4 years and spotty at meetings at best for various reasons.i've had doubts ever since 95 and the generation thing, and my wife, well she's always had some resentment from the truf being drilled into her when she was growing up.

  however i put off deciding what to do about the future of my own spirituality (and my family's) till recently when i got tired of feeling guilty about not following an outline for the only way to be a good person.

  also my wifey wanted to know what the hell we were doing so she wouldn't feel like a fence sitter.

  Hi Tim Horton

  Welcome to the forum.

  my wifey wanted to know what the hell we were doing so she wouldn't feel like a fence sitter.

  Your wife is right about that..Sometimes after you sit on the fence for awhile. Well, it just feels yucky sitting up there. You can't do this on this side..but heck, it feels so un-you to be doing the J.W. thing anymore.

  It kind of, leaves one STUCK..on the fence and not being able to become passionate and involved in life so to speak.

  a poster on this board, suggested lurking here and learning what I could from other one's experiences, among other informative sites. It has been eyeopening to say the least

  That is the way it was for me too. My nephew pointed me towards this forum just a little over a year ago. I counldn't believe some of the big switcheroo's the WTBTS has done since I was disfellowshipped in '92

  faced with the problem? of thinking for oneself and the future being even more uncertain in my mind, this opens up new areas once considered forbidden

  It took me awhile after being disfellowshipped to hone those decision making skills of mine. Making decisions for myself and not looking to all the publications to lay it out for me was different.

  I had to THINK for myself. It's nice now, to be responsible for what I do and think. I have to take responsiblity for my mistakes (and not blame that darn Satan guy).. but also when I make good decisions and things work out right ( I take the credit and pat myself on the back..I don't say thanks to Jehovah who made it all happen).. I did it!.. and did a fine job

  As far as the palm reading thing I've never done that. However, I did go to a friends house who had some kind of tarrot cards. A girl thing maybe.. and it was fun. I didn't necessarily put any weight in it all. Just had fun with it. It was a fun evening along with a chocolate fondue. yummy.

  Hi Frannie

  Love the picture you have of yourself up in your avatar.

  I was wondering if you were ever going to use some of those pictures you showed us all..some months ago. Great Shot of you.

  .....

  The KFC chicken.

  I think that these particular employees should be fired. I think this is probably an isolated case of some really sick employees. I'm sure not all employees in a slaughterhouse do these things.

  Just like not all army guys do nasty things to their prisoners.. but SOME of them do and I think they should be fired too.

  I'm not going to stop eating chicken. I love Chicken!

  We eat KFC, very occasionally. .

  Hi Corvin,

  I have omitted the "BOO!" and the "now let's get out there and place some magazines" lines.

  Good job, corvin.

  I was wondering if you found it cleansing for yourself by taking all the time to do this. After the past couple weeks from hell... if it helped focus some of that rage at the WTBTS... Well then it was well, well worth it.

  Sometimes a focused project such as this is very healing. Enables one to pin poin there anger directly at who it should be aimed at.

  all the best Corvin and waiting for the update on Nancy.Hope she is doing better.

  love

  Hi Lilac
  
  Nope.. not interested in most of the organized religions.
  
  But, I am hankering for more information and ways to view things these days.
  
  I think I'll just read alot of differing views and make my self a mish-mash of my OWN spirituality.
  
  Something unique to me.
  
  Something that fits right.
  
  Oh,.. and it will have that old time rock and roll in it too. Something that lifts the spirit and make ya feel good.

  Hi Browneyedgirl
  
  So sorry to hear about your friends accident.
  
  Motorcycle accidents are pretty bad.
  
  Not much protection on those bikes.
  
  Although I must admit they are fun to ride.
  
  Hope he recovers from this.
