    Someone said something recently that reminded me of a post I made just after discovering this board and the 'truth' about the jw's. In fact, it was two years ago this weekend that I posted this http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/21607/1.ashx

    The thread sparked some very interesting conversations, at least in my opinion and it also was the day reality really hit me hard. I was much more nieve and immature than I ever thought and some of my comments in that and other threads I am somewhat embarrassed to have made. But looking back at some of those posts, besides the fact that I was such a dork back then I also learned a lot from opening my mind to what other people were saying even though I didnt agree.

    So two years, lots of bible reading, and endless hours of conversations with Christian after making some of those crazy off-the-wall comments I'm still a dork , but I am also a completely different person with a much different view.

    I have to thank JWD and everyone here who makes lifes crazy journey a little bit easier just by sharing their thoughts.

    much love ,

    Flower,

    JWD is a much better place just because you are here! Happy two-year anniversary!

    P.S. You are not alone - I've said some pretty "dorky" things, too. But I would never dare to use Yeru's smiley! You're in big trouble, girlfriend, if he finds out....!

    Hi Flower.... I remember when you first started posting. We had a few 'exchanges' (hehe).. Isn't it great to be a couple years more down the road to see how our prespectives change.... such is life. Take care...

    NO ONE but God can PROVE thee is or is not a God, a Creator, etc.

    You choose to believe one or the other based on your experiences and observations.

    I choose to Believe because I see creation, I see the beauty of it, and I feel the "ring of truth" in his word the Bible.

    If there is no God, or other gods, you, out of free will, have the right to choose. Make your decision wisely- it may be the difference between life and death.

    I will ALWAYS believe.
