i'm thinking mid 20's to mid 30's..........although i had a hell of a 15.......................oompa
Didn't exactly love my 20's. Ever since I turned 30 things have been much better!! I am married to a wonderful man and we have a fantastic life together!! I am hoping from here on in it will be much better b/c the way I see it - I put in my time. I am ready for the next chapter!

to me not all bad taught me some good life skills howerever 38 years i could have done alot with that time...............karter
I try not to be a negative person but...I honestly feel like my whole life up until 19 (or so) was wasted. I didn't learn the skills I needed for a normal life, didn't leave with any friends (I'm bad association), didn't see the value in education, I could go on and on...
I am just so thankful that I got out when I did. There is time for me to make up for the life I lost. A lot of others aren't so lucky.

how many "jw induced" grown males (or females) did you know that were emotionally, physically, and/or sexually repressed due to their years in the jw's ... espically those "raised in" the "truth"?.
(this isnt a thread to center on slighting others or their actions because of their jw emotion stunting ... but you can bash hard on them for other things ... hehe) .
I know I am. Unfortunately.

I do have some really good friends...however I have changed my viewpoint on the phrase "true friend". I am not sure that is even possible, or there is such a thing. Everyone is imperfect. Even though people may have the best of intentions, no one is perfect and so there is opportunity for dissapointment in someone.
I used to believe in true friendship. I am no longer a believer. When my own flesh and blood can turn against me, then why wouldn't someone else that doesn't have that bond and lifelong relationship with me be true?
Sorry to be cynical, but that is the way I see it.

hey guys,
im inactive (as far as meetings go) in my local town.
however, i have friends outside of my local territory that i hang with.
In my experience yes, if you are talking to a member of the opposite sex on the phone (who is single as well) then it may be construed as dating...I heard that several times. Mind you, the elders in my hall were really anal so I'm not sure if that is unusual or not.
Sounds like this "sister" has nothing better to do than get the elders involved...doesn't she have some doors to knock on or something?

one amazing thing is that out of just three kinds of milk the milk of cow, ewe and goat hundreds if not over a thousand different kinds of cheese are made around the world.
yellow or white, hard or soft, mouldy or not mouldy, strong tasting or bland.
cheddar, gruyere, gouda, maasdamer, parmesan, feta, roquefort, stilton, brie and scores more.
I LOVE cheese, it makes everything taste better!! I have so many great recipes for dishes focused on cheese...yum. We regularily have wine and cheese parties. Can't have a party without cheese.
I love warm brie with fig jam and I also loved 5 year old aged cheddar the best. Yum-o!

i heard about a special group inside the organization.
its sole purpose is to find and judicialy process disidents (or apostates as they called them).
have you heard of such secret police before?
No I haven't heard of an official group within the org that does that. Everyone has an obligation to rat out another if he were to hear of anything being done that wasn't according to the organizations or Jeh's policy but that is all I have heard of.
