thank you all
by itsallgoodnow ini'm coming up on my one year anniversary posting on this board, and wanted to say thanks to you all for everything i have learned here this past year.
you've definitely helped to make fading a little bit easier to take.
i was pretty lost when i first started posting here and this forum helped me figure out so many things and how to deal with the jws in my life.

my sisters are petty and sad
by itsallgoodnow insure, they are jws, but it's not about that.
they have never really cared about me.
they have always kept me out of their stupid little "club".

What's was the funniest thing that ever happened to you out in service?
by itsallgoodnow in.
for me it's a tie between the time a certain gentlement didn't realize his thingy was "out", waving in the breeze, i couldn't hold it together... laughed until i cried.
or the time the po's wife stepped in dog poo and i laughed and she wasn't amused.....

faith at work
by itsallgoodnow inchristian evangelizing at work, not just for jws anymore.
some people are really smooth about it, but you realize there's more to their persistent religious comments.
they want to convert you and don't stop trying.

how many days?
by itsallgoodnow inok, so we've probably all heard before that someone out there has done a study calculating about how much time we will have spent in our lives sitting at red lights and it comes to about a year?
try calculating about how many days you have spent at circuit/district conventions in your life, assuming there were 3 for circuit every year, and 3 or 4 for district every year.
i can't remember the year it switched to from 4 down to 3. this number is bigger than you might think, especially if you were raised as a jw.

daily inspirational
by itsallgoodnow ini got this little inspirational email from a friend this morning (don't worry, i won't do this every day, just today).
being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect.
it means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.

question about faith
by itsallgoodnow ini've been wondering about faith as a concept.
if there is a god, why can't he or she make it plain and obvious who he is, what he wants from us, what his purpose is?
the bible is open to wide interpretation on all matters as we can all see.

WTS getting better prepared to handle AWOL witnesses?
by itsallgoodnow inunder the guise of being able to "find and aid" brothers who are displaced due to natural disasters in the gulf coast this summer, we are receiving great pressure to provide our elders with names, addresses and phone numbers of where we will be in case of evacuation.
i'd like to think it's because a few good witnesses in louisiana managed to become "lost" and what a way to escape!
i don't know if i'm just reading too much into it, but the pressure to provide the information is quite intense and it really makes you wonder.

Courtney Love's mommy had some pretty good advice...
by itsallgoodnow ini came across a really interesting article in psychology today magazine about courtney love's mother.
it's not so much about courtney, although i had no idea how she was, but it was more about how helpless she felt as cl's mother in that relationship, which has always been strained and there have been periods of being cut out of her life.
she talks about how we have these ideas about closure and control, which are really fantasy, but we need to "live with what happens to us" and focus on what we can do with the situation.
