How is everyone?

Just doing my monthly check of email and checking out JWD. Seems calm here at the moment, but I only skimmed briefly through.

There are so many thoughts that run through my mind that I think, "I want to share that at JWD", but here I am, with no thoughts,

One thing that I do want to say.......

After being a JW and going to meeting after meeting, then coming to JWD, hooked and addicted, being online.

Now months I have been offline for the most part and just living. No meetings, no daily reading and posting at JWD, I have read a few books,

But living, just daily day to day living. Being present in what is going on around me, and it takes time to get to that place. and it almost seems fleeting at times.

But I have decided the real challenge is just this, After all the shedding of old messages, old lifestyles and habits and behaviours, the real challenge is just living life as it is, as it comes and goes,

The honeymoon is over ...the one the newbies feel when their eyes become wide open coming to this site........the forever search for a replacement of Jehovah, whether that means seeing and finding another religion, doing away with God altogether....each ones search is personal, unique.

Hopefully we all get to this place of living again, applying what we learn, discarding the old .......Its peaceful, Its not always pleasant, but its become real........a Truth

Have a great day, I will check in a month or so and see how you all are again.

Good to see you Purps, I've missed you.

Glad you have got to that place where you can leave JWD alone for a few weeks or more. I hope to get there someday. LOL.

Let us know more of what you've been up to.

Purps, Where were you 2 months ago when I needed you. It is a feeling of solidarity when you finally make a stand and realize you're thru and that you are not where you are supposed to be. I still find it fulfilling coming here. I am happy that you are where you need to be in the scheme of things. Liberating isn't it? Be happy!

Believe it or not, earlier today I was wondering, "What's become of purps? I know she kinda checked out of here. Hope all's well."

Glad to hear you're well and moving on. It's very encouraging.

Purplesofa, I looked at your posting history, did you hear about the book study being cancelled effective January 1, 2009?

I did hear the BS was being cancelled, but I thought it was being moved to a time slot of the TMS???

I am curious, are they doing away with it altogether?
