  Good for you.

  Many people think it is illogical to NOT vote. If someone purposely does not vote, then they have no say. Put up or shut up kind of thing.

  Never Had Strong Feelings - Did You Experience that as a JW?

  by cognac in

  when i went to a funeral and i cried cause i thought it was what you were supposed to do.. went to a wedding and didn't really care, just was happy cause everyone else was.. there was just never any strong feelings, except depression of course.. but anyways, did you guys ever experience that?

  no strong feelings as a jw?

  now that i'm coming out, i'm noticing that i'm starting to actually get more feelings... not sure if that's a jw thing or just cause i'm seeing a phychiatrist now... however, i do notice that with hubby, no strong feelings.

  No. I didn't deal with them long enough for my survival mode to kick in.

  watched there will be blood last night.

  amazing film, and daniel day lewis is simply astounding.

  I bought it and watched it over the weekend. The religion aspect surprised me, as I had no idea that ever came into play in this film until I sat down and saw it. The ending dialogue was incredible. Early on, I thought it was a good film but that quickly turned into excellent. I LOVED that movie!

  for those who give a flip.... i have been away from jwd for several months now.

  it was a great help to me in the early days of my fade.

  it was comforting to know that i was not alone and that others had been in my shoes.

  Two days in (jog/walking equal parts 1.5 miles). I'm too chicken yet to go on the roads, so I use a track instead. I felt better than I did on Wednesday when I thought I was going to collapse.

  ~ Your feelings on aging ~

  by FlyingHighNow in

  1. jw

  so, we aren't going to stay young and never die.

  how do you feel about aging, especially those of you that are over 35?

  aging poses some concerns for me, especially since i am 49 and pretty much single.

  You can do it, lonelysheep! Most people tell Lori they think she's in her mid-30s. When she had her daughters, she left the hospital both times in her misses size 4 jeans.

  Damn...she had kids, too!?! :O

  Thank you for the encouragement! This will only be my 3rd attempt at making it a habit.

  wow, the Catholic freaking church is making the WTS look bad.

  never thought i would see the day when the catholic church would make the wts look bad.

  i wonder if the wts will come out with something similar, apologizing.

  sike!

  How much does an apology have to be to be an apology?

  The Catholic Church screwed up big time, but they have done a great deal to make amends (not that the past can be changed).

  I think the site is a bit slanted, even if I sympathize with the victims.

  For many of these, it is likely that no apology will ever be enough.

  Burn

  I agree. In fact, I think it is expecting way too much to expect a religion to admit to truly being wrong about something-anything-even child abuse. If they're wrong about one thing, there is plenty more they are wrong about (all things, really).
