by Mrs Smith in

2. experiences
my son was about 5 years old when we stopped going to the meetings.

the other day i asked him what he remembers about them (his now 14 years old).

he remembered the puzzles i bought him to play with during the meetings.. he remembered that i packed a sandwich and some juice for him to eat in case he got hungry.. when he got board i use to take him outside for a walk around the kh garden.

well,my dad called last night, crying.

he says armageddon's about to start and he doesn't want to lose me.

Has anybody successfully quit using caffeine altogether?
by DanTheMan in
1. jw
2. friends
my anxiety and stress levels are really bad lately.

i think i'd be doing myself a favor to quit caffeine, as it has become a real catch-22 for me, where i need it to stay awake, but it causes me to lose sleep, so i need more of it to stay awake, etc.. i've learned through experience that i'm very sensitive to any sort of chemical substance that affects neurotransmitter flow, and, given my general propensity towards depression/anxiety/paranoia/add, i think that at least one thing i could do to give me a calmer, more stable neurotransmitter mix would be to eliminate caffeine.

i've tried to reduce before, and i've found that i just start making excuses to have a little more, a little more, until i'm right back where i started.. so, i'm just wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience where they felt the need to not just reduce but eliminate caffeine altogether, and if so, how did it go, did it help, how long has it been, etc.

What kind of funeral will you have?
by MsMcDucket in
1. jw
2. friends
i know that this is a morbid topic, but i often wonder what kind of funeral that i should have.

i mean, i'm not associated with any religion.

i don't want a preacher there speaking about the afterlife or trying to recruit followers.

Best ways to disrupt meetings, assemblies, etc...
by What-A-Coincidence in
1. jw
2. friends
shine a laser pen on the outline given by the speaker at an assembly.. take notes in finger paint.. at sensitive moments, blow your nose raucously.

apologize for your sinus condition.. wear a disposable paper face mask.

tell the brothers: hey, you don't want to catch what i've got!.

i'm writing a book (i know, it sounds so cliche) but i really am about the shunning experiences of people in religions and how this affected them and their family relationships.

i need your stories even if you were never a jw.
