  just a newbie here trying to aquaint myself.

  i can' t say how thrilled i was to find out that this site existed!

  it was actually shown to me by my sister - who by the way - with you're help- has seen the truth about the "truth" and is in the process of learning to live a normal life.

  Jebus & DivaMom...Welcome, y'all are making friends already!

  Diva:

  Thanks a million to "Rabbit" for introducing me to this site - now if only he'd done it BEFORE the DFW Apostafest!#)%&!

  Well, first off...you are quite welcome, you're my first 'interested one' I've helped bring into the 'fold' ha-ha!

  I was really glad to read your bio and see that you are well out of the JW's, too. I see that you are are ready meeting people that live near you in Dallas and maybe we can have a mini-meet soon, so we can meet.

  Sorry, we talked AFTER our ApostaChiliFest ! It would have been great for you. I had been looking for X-JW's, too. The X-JW Meet-Up never did work tho', finally I got ahold of Jerry (Megadude) over at "Lighthouse" a X-JW support group, he suggested that I try out JW-D. I thanked him profusely when I found out he was at the 'Fest, too. So, it's a small world and us 'lost sheep' eventually find one another, be sure to thank him. I have been here 6 months...it has been the most healing 6 months in the 7 years of my slowly leaving.

  Thank you for your kind PM!

  Welcome to you both !

  LyinEyes (Dede) asked me to post her PM below, cause she still is having computer problems and is unable to reply to posts normally.

  * Could somebody help this Southern Belle Damsel in distress? She is bustin' at the seams to tell all about Dallas !

  Here is what she said about the young man who found our party room, that I mentioned in my story earlier...as Paul Harvey would say..."Here's the rest of the story."

  Hey Rabbit,,, I still can not reply to any threads computer problems I guess.
  
  I died laughing at your recount of what happened with John.....that guy was so looking for some chicks. He had the eye for Flower, and told her he kind of looks like Denzel....( as in Washington...LOL)!!! Our dear Flower , said hold up wait....you think you look like Denzel. No you don't. You are cute but you do not look like Denzel. We decided if he looked like anyone it was more Usher than Denzel. I am sure he would have grabbed Flower and taken her away but she was kind of pinned to the couch by the napping, comfortable Eleswhere.
  
  John, was kind enough to let WildTurkey back into the Hotel, after he was locked out in the garage for 15 minutes!!!
  
  John was cool, young, and a little leary of what we were doing all together like we were. After all he was sitting by us, ( CountryGirl, BlueEyes, You, Joanna, Winston napping in the corner, Sixy, Willowstreet, ) and when he heard it was the first time some of us had met in person,,,he must have wondered what we were all doing on the BED!!! Needless to say it was all innocent , he might have thought it might be something eles,,,,lol,,but we were all having a slumber party to say the least.
  
  WildTurkey had to tell John after 4 in the morning that he was tired and we would hook back up with him later. But.....before John left,,,,,he barfed in my sink.....darn him!!! I didnt see him again, guess he was sleeping off all of that wine he drank. Poor boy,,,,,he tried to out drink me,,,,,that's a no no !!
  
  I really enjoyed meeting you and Nova , Rabbit,,,,how is her ankle doing? Did she get it checked out? The little rabbit she brought ever where she went was so cute. Tell her I said hello as well.
  
  Love to ya'll,,,,,,,,Dede
  
  ( you can post this on JWD if you want,,,since I can't post it myself)

  i'll post a little later about my trip (beacuse i'm still exhausted) but meanwhile let me just post a few random thoughts about some of the folks i met (and apologies, in advance, for anyone that i may inadvertantly miss).. i really didn't get time to speak to any one person for anywhere near as long as i'd have liked, but then i get that the feeling that a lifetime wouldn't be long enough.... first, may i say, i missed the presence of concernedlawyer, czar, czarina, sheila, thunderrider, xw, onacruise and bikerchic (the latter two, of whom, had already intimated that they would be unable to attend).. .

  Thanks to you... Country Girl for taking the time and having the love and humor and ability to write that poem !

  BTW, Mrs. Rabbit is doing a lot better...that slip twisted her knee, even more than the ankle. So far, we don't think we'll have to take it to the Doc.

  Loved talking to ya', you have pretty and sincere eyes...I like that!

  Bebu...that would be cool. I don't know if anyone told him more about JWD, it did not even occur to me.

  Can you imagine the next time JW's show up at his door ? And he says, "Oh, yeah. I met a whole bunch of X - JW's in Dallas, they were from all over the world. Having an assembly or sumpin' !" They said, they were real happy to get out of the mind-controlling... ha-ha, you get the idea !

  They will be running down the street, saying, "Jehovah, Jehovah, Jehovah...!"

  My Cat is 14 years old and acts 2 y/o. She does not like cheese or milk, but LOVES Wolf Brand Chili ! You have to watch out...if you open a can, she'll jump up on the counter and eat a 1/4 of a can in a few minutes ! She won't eat regular beef tho'. And of course...chicken, she will always show up if we're having chicken.

  Ross !

  I was wondering when we would hear from you fella !

  I think everybody had to take a rest, especially you, having come the furtherest of all. Me and Nova really enjoyed meeting you. You are just the kind gentle man I expected, only even more soft spoken.

  And yes Mrs. Rabbit had a hard time keeping her hands off your bum in that kilt ! I thought it was funny, too.

  It was great meeting you and everyone else there, it was quite moving for me to see the freedom we all have been finding with our kinship.

  As you said at Sonny Bryan's BBQ, while standing on the chair .....

  Freedom, Freedom...Freedom !

  JW view of psychiatrists...

  yesterday i was having a debate with my mother (who bucks the jw system by still talking to me even though i'm df'd, my parents are the only relatives who will see me) and she was going on about how the only people she ever knew who committed suicide had lost jehovah's holy spirit.

  she said the same thing of people who go on medication, that it's the same as drug use and that its opening the door for demons.. that was when i finally dropped the bomb on her, that i have been on anti-depressants on and off for more than 10 years.

  i have stopped taking them cold several times when i needed to (got pregnant, other reasons for another day) so they are not addictive.

  Like Scully, I don't want to rehash the whole fun experience -- i'd like to be able to get some sleep tonight.

  Something was very wrong in my life, I had no joy. Since I was a good dub, I was told "You have to do more." "You need to re-devote yourself whole-souled to Jah and everything will be fine!" Etc.,etc *sigh*. Nothing worked. So one day I over-dosed on some pills. When I survived and was told by the MHMR people who meet the lucky survivors at the hospital that I probably have Major Depression (it was later confirmed) and needed to see a professional...I thought everyone would be happy.

  1. I was alive...

  2. There was a good reason for my behavior. I wasn't crazy, (very much, anyway)

  3. Best of all...there was help.........I could be helped, hooray.

  Wrong.

  It seems everyone thought like the above posts, I had lost Jah's Holy Spirit, I was probably guilty of something, wasn't doing enough, spiritually sick and it was even suggested I must have bought something at a Garage Sale that had a Demon, and it jumped in me (like Stargate 1, a gould).

  I was getting real help from a great psychiatrist, when I got home I would get the 3rd degree from my JW wife, now my X, about WHAT did y'all talk about...is he saying it's all my (her) fault? Then the stuff about how you have to be really careful -- cause it's a well known fact that those kind of Doctors can PUT wrong thoughts in your head, like leaving your spouse and leaving your religion, too.

  We ended up having words everytime I came home...I told the Doctor, he suggested having her come to the next meeting...so she could see for herself what was going on. Good idea ! Not ! I have never seen her so furious, she yelled and screamed, "How dare you make an appointment for ME ! There's nothing wrong with ME, there's only something wrong with YOU! You go if you want to, but, I'll never let people put thoughts in MY MIND!"

  Her family is top heavy with Elders & MS, for good advice. nlaa (not-laughing-at-all)

  And she never did let anyone put bad thoughts in her mind, she's still a great devoted JW.

  * sigh *

  PS: I am much better, however and very happy. Yes, I know it's all an illusion from Satan, but, as the song goes,"Sometimes ya' don't get what ya' want, but, sometimes ya' get what ya' n e e d ..."

  i work on a busy surgical ward in the nhs.

  the other morning during handover the night staff handed over that a certain woman in a particular bed was a jw.

  her hb was low at 7dgb following surgery etc etc.....and she was just silly for not accepting a blood transfusion.. i spent most of the day busy, but kept a mental note to go and see her in particular, to let her know that i understood where she was coming from.

  Good for you. It is all about respecting a persons beliefs, whether you agree or not...in a decent way.
