Good Netflix shows to watch
by Simon inin the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).
house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.

No nu-lite needed. Just quit counting. I'm surprised they haven't already done that. Cite the example of David when he wasn't supposed to count his army. (I might be wrong about it being David or an army. But someone in the bible wasn't supposed to count something) -

Surprise ! Surprise ! 2015 Arrives and NO Armageddon or World's " End " - Go Figure
by flipper ini guess 99.9 % of ex-jw's here could have predicted as much .
armageddon didn't happen in 1914. it didn't happen in 1925. it didn't happen in 1975. and it did not happen in 2014. since the wt society first predicted a world's end when their organization started in 1879 - 126 years have passed which according to any dictionary in any human language 126 years comprises of 4 separate generations each totaling 30 years each.
plus 6 years into a 5th generation.

Great post flipper. I didn't live thru "stay alive till 75". But it sounds like it was exciting times in jw land. Stuff is pretty stale now. At least in my area it is. Mostly older folks hoping to see the big A before they die.

Any luck kicking the bottle?
by Ignoranceisbliss inas i continue my sllllooooooowwwwwww fade one of the things that i want to do is better myself as a person.
one of my biggest pitfalls has always been drinking.

I knew the forum wouldn't let me down! That was a lot of great advice. Thanks! Getting alchohol out of my house seems like a good first step. I will do that.
Digeridoo. Am I an alchoholic. That is a question that I have thought a lot about. And I really don't know the answer. I definitly share some of the traits though. I suppose that if I am then really truly admitting that to myself is an important First step. That is a difficult thing to come to terms with.
Billy. I agree with you. Getting in good shape is a great goal to put as my objective. Booze always destroys my workout routine.
Breakfast. It sounds like we are much the same. Thanks for sharing.
JeffT. Congrats on your success. I have always been a little turned off of AA due to its religious nature. But I also know that it can be successfull.
Lisa. I really don't know how to meditate like that. It sounds interesting though.

As I continue my sllllooooooowwwwwww fade one of the things that I want to do is better myself as a person. One of my biggest pitfalls has always been drinking. I don't think I am an alcoholic but at the same time I've never been a very good drinker. If I start to drink I usually will drink enough so that I feel rough the next day. I will usually only drink on Friday and Saturday but then I will feel rough on Saturday and Sunday. I'm tired of not using my weekends to the full. Quitting would also help me to lose weight. I need to drop about 35 lbs. I also have 2 little kids and as they get older I don't want them to view there dad as "a drinker". I have tried to be "moderate in my drinking" for 20 years now and so far it hasn't worked. I know there is a lot of wisdom packed into this site and any practical advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

every meeting there's a new plea for money?!
by purrpurr inwow!
i haven't been here for a while and everything's changed!.
anyway i've been really noticing how at every meeting it seems there's yet another new thing that needs funding or another reminder to donate.

Kaik, How does anyone know how much your mom donates? I have never heard of a hall where the donations weren't voluntary and secret.
