Why I am leaving JWD
by logansrun ini'm leaving this forum...at least temporarily.
as i mentioned in conversation over dinner at the chicago apostafest, my upcoming school schedule (which begins next week) combined with my workload will make it very difficult to be an active member on this forum.
perhaps i'll check in occassionaly when life is a little slower but for now i'd better distance myself from the on-line scene or else the other elements in my life will suffer.

Positive Islamic Thread
by eyeslice inthere has been a bit of stick about the negative comments about islam on this board, so i thought i would start a positive thread.. towards the end of the 90s, i lived for a year in an asian country with a population of over 100 million muslims.
all muslims i came across were honest, decent people.. a couple of years back, i went to work in iran for a couple of weeks.
as a result i had a couple days off at the weekend, which also happened to coincide with a public holiday.

what else can I say?
by jwbot ini got an email from a girl i know who is either teaching or helping teach kindergarten.
she had questions about a 5 year old boy who is going to homeschool next year, and is a jw.
she remembered that i am an ex-jw so emailed me to ask for any information that would help her get in the mind of this boy (who seemed to want to celebrate xmas).

Body Image and Little Girls
by Princess ini thought it would be around 12-13 years old.
this from a child who has heard how beautiful she is from strangers every day of her life.. who knew how cutthroat and competitive kindergarten girls are?
a thousand strangers calling her beautiful just can't compete with one five/six year old telling her she is fat and has ugly hair.

Hot Saucing your children
by desib77 into me this seems cruel.
after my divorce i heard from a friend that my ex-husband's new wife was doing this to his son to stop him from telling lies.
i was very upset about it especially since he had learned to lie from his father.. i think it is mean, what do you think about it?.

A Very Sad Shell-Shocking Day
by Amazing1914 inwhy is it our lot as former members of the watchtower organization to suffer so much emotional pain?
just when we think we have reached some level of putting it all behind us, something new pops up to bite us hard.
a couple that i have been very close to just sent me a very sad e-mail.
