Memory Lane
by exjdub inmrs. exjdub and i were talking about the jwd board the other night and, after discussing many of the topics that are on the board, we started reminiscing.
pretty soon we started laughing until we had tears in our eyes remembering the "joy" of conventions in the old days.
mrs. exj remembers camping in scarborough, maine during the convention and waking up in the morning to damp sleeping bags from the moisture in the air, trying to run to the community showers before the session, feeling dirty all of the time because of the dust, sitting in the blazing sun at the racetrack, getting rained on, etc.

If The Bible Is Truly The Word Of God...
by exjdub inwhy would he leave so many loose ends?
believe me, despite some of my comments about religion and my feelings about the bible, i do examine myself and my thinking process all of the time.
i really do think deeply about my life and the lives of my family, and i really try to examine how i feel.

How Do You Make Friends Now?
by exjdub incodeblue's thread about the teenage years made me start thinking about another aspect of being raised jw.
in the org we had ready made "friends" by virtue of our affiliation.
i found that after leaving jw's it was hard to meet people and it took me a long time to make friends.

Shocker
by exjdub inwhen i left the org i tried to find websites that revealed some of the things that i have learned recently on this website and others that are referenced here.
however, i found that it made it worse to read or talk about anything pertaining to jw's in the beginning.
it took a few years of healing (thank god for dogs, they are the master healers) and working through very strong feelings (which was difficult given that both my wife and i still have family in the org) but i finally came out the other end stronger and more confident.. fast forward to a few days ago when i found this board.
