Had PRK done in May. It was a new clinic and it was competing for the business in town so the cost was $2550. It was the best money I ever spent. It hurt for the first few days. You become an eye-drop junkie for a few weeks. Vision is perfect, no halos, but a decrease in night vision.

I work in a medical clinic. Only 2 of our JW patients (of about15) are not on antidepressants. I was on antidepressants before I left JW....leaving cured me! I've not taken an antidepressant and 10 years now!

Must see video on Youtube where a JW is clearly defeated on the trinity subject...
by Tuesday inpersonally i hate bible ping-pong.
i don't think it ever gets anywhere, i don't think it solves anything and i don't think the participants ever make any head room.
however i will say in this case, i have been proven wrong.

not being biblical as a word and more importantly as a described doctrine is the one trying to say Coal is 'white', it is trying to put something in the bible that isn't there
Kind of like JWs explaining the fact they kill kids with their blood doctrine!

I have a high school reunion, my daughter wants to buy her grad dress, and I want to get my European Passport, for which I need my father to come to the German consulate with me to obtain. I call tonight to let them know there's "buisness on Friday," and we're coming to the "Coast."
My mother asks if I'd seen the Fifth Estate yesterday. Yes, I say, I was up from 1 am to 2 am, because my 15-year-old daughter "pulled a fast one" and missed the last bus home. I had to go pick her up at about 1:20. The 5th Estate was re-aired between 1 and 2 am. I saw the story, but I missed who I saw on the show.
Long story short... It was a show about the downtown eastside Vancouver. This is where I grew up. One of the people highlighted on the show was Tansia Prouting, a drug addict, who had lost 2 of her daughters to her drug addiction. She was a JW (although it doesn't say that on the show). They talked about her being sexually abused by a friend of the family (I know who that is) and how it lead her to living on the streets.
Now I'm feeling ignignant. I was a single mom of 6...and I was sexully abused by HER FATHER., an elder from New Zealand...and my younger brother (15 years younger) was sexually abused by, and I'm certain is, the same person who sexually abused as described by this girl, as the same person who abused HER....this prostitute, living on the streets of East End Vancouver. My mother actually agreed with this...she knows it happened.
My mom knows I've been sexually abused by JW 's more than once.
I get mad...I tell my mom about the abuse settlements in California, and if I didn't want to make things diffi cult for them, I would start a law-suit against the WTS for what they did to me, and my children. She knows my JW ex-father-in-lawhad a baby with my ex-neice (sister) in-law, yet was covered up by the ORG.
My mother thought I was lying. I assured her I was not. One thing lead to another..sadly...I could not contain myself... and she left the phone-call with no arguements left. I feel sad. I feel bad. I feel like I cannot free her from the cult, but I feel like she wants to know...yet I think that my giving into her wanting to know is going to lead her to hate me. She's protecting the Org...and I should just let my mom believe what she belieives, yet I couldn't. I went on to talk about doctrine...stupid...
anyhow...now I'm feeling like a complete idiot...wishing I'd shut up...

Nice weather?? My HTC said it was 8 degrees C and raining today in Las Vegas. It was 3 degrees here in Kelowna today - not much difference in our world.
Ah....but...I'm still looking forward to being there in 11 days!
I can't imagine what my Bro and sister-in-law coming from the Grand Cayman, at 26c today, is going to have being in such weather, if it lasts, in Las Vegas.
Love you Bro...can't wait to see you!

Stupid, probably to wined up to reply to this thread...but I'm going to try....
I was a single mom of 5, then 6. My jw husband moved in with a girl from his work 10 days before our 5th baby was born. He (unknown to me) became a Coke addict at the time. Most of you know the story....18 months after I divorced him, I married a crazy JW who abused us (he did 3 months jail time and 1 year probation for what he did to us. But not before I had 1 more baby.
As a single mom of 6 I know that it is damn near impossible to raise 6 alone, let alone 14. I think the woman is crazy. If people don't come through for her she's hooped. There's just no way. She's going to need to be a leech on society just to make an effort at raising those babies. It's the only way she can do it.
My ex-husbands are collectively are over $60K in arrears in their child support. I went back to school, married again (to a good non-JW), and not collecting welfare. My oldest daughter is graduating from UBC-Okanagan as an RN in June at 21 years of age.
I just don't know how she can do it. It's just not possible. I so many times just wanted to bail out...run away...disappear. I didn't, but with 14 and no help...I just might have! It acually might have been the most loving thing I could have done for my kids. Someone else may have been able to give to them what I couldn't.

WANTED ! JW Apologist
by wobble inthis must have been mentioned before,but now reniaa is back it could be fun.. if jw's are even part way to the truth,and all other religions are false, then they must have a doctrine that is unique to them,given by holy spirit, but plainly taught in the bible,without resorting to fancifull exegesis and bouncing around from verse to verse out of context etc.. what is that doctrine?.
love.
wobble.. .

Sometimes I read Renaia's posts thinking she just might make a point that will make me think JW's got it right, want to go back, get reinstated, and get my family back...
Then I realize her reasoning makes no sense and trying to defend the organization makes her a fool, an idiot, the same as I was as a JW. Then I get angry feelings toward her and the organization itself for making fools of both of us.
She doesn't seem to realize that she in trying to defend the jw's is just doing the opposite. That's the whole reason, I'm sure, that JW's are told to STAY AWAY from these type of 'apostate' places. She doesn't seem to get that.

I learned about Orgys. My service partner, who was a little older than me, and I knocked at a door (east Vancouver c. 1975-80, we were about 10-15 years old) and a voice told us to come in. We opened the door....to way more than we ever expected to see!!! I'll bet they had good laughs about the expression on our faces!! We got outta there real fast.
