Hi Dan,I can relate to what you are said
Hugs,Lisa
it was only a mask
I feel the same way, I never fit in as a JW (even though I was raised in 'it') and I never fit in as a "worldly". When I found this board I did what I do with everything in my life. I slip in and start hanging out, in the background, so later if it starts not working any longer for me, I can just as easily as I snuck in the back door, I can slip out un-noticed. I just keep wearing the mask, and no one will notice that I don't have it together. This is a good idea..I think I need scale back the amount of time I spend here waayyy back, and unless I make some sort of announcement to that effect like the one I'm making now, I'll find myself spending hours here that I could be spending on more beneficial things like watching South Park..
or you could get out and meet people that you have things other than JWism in common with you. But don't abandon us. Everytime someone says that they are leaving, I feel this sick feeling deep inside my stomache. Having met you in person, I never thought...people find me to be odd, hostile, immature, paranoid, hyper, and they are probably right.
well maybe the paranoid part...hehehe
