  Welcome janos!

  Do what your heart tells you to do and don't look back. You'll never regret getting "out" while your young!

  gwen and i met steven hassan yesterday, at a fund raiser for meadowhaven, (new england institute for religious research) a place where they help people reintregate back into the real world, after leaving some very destructive cults.

  we are fortunate becasue meadowhaven is close enough for us to drive to, and one of the only places of its type here in the states.

  he's a real nice guy, and i have an audio of his speach.

  That sounds like a great experience zev. Have never heard of Meadowhaven. I have read two of Mr. Hassan's books and found them extremely relevant to exiting the JW's and just interesting over all. Especially his experiences with the Moonies. Lucky you!

  A Tribute to a Dear Friend: C.K. Dexter Haven Scott (1991-2004)

  this past monday, april 19, we had dexter put to sleep.

  he was almost 13 years old and we got him when he was 11 weeks old, a tiny bouncy puppy with ears that he tripped over for months.

  he was ever cheerful, a part of the family, loved the children and let them pull on his tail and ears and pull up on his back with no grumbles, and a very dear friend.

  Much sympathy to you all...Cathy L.

  OK this not sleeping thing has got to stop

  by Lady Lee in

  2. friends

  well it's not that i'm not sleeping - i am - just only 2-3 hours at a time.. when i try to stay awake i start feeling nauseous from the lack of sllep and have to go lie down.

  then sleep for a couple of hours then the pain in my feet starts up and i am awake.. i just spent the second whole night this week wide awake.

  then during the day i am falling asleep for two hours then awake for an hour and back to sleep.

  Lady Lee...perhaps we should form a "Am really, really tired but I can't fall asleep and if I do fall asleep I only sleep a couple of hours" club!

  After experiencing some of the things you are going through, I finally sought the advice of a Neurologist at a sleep disorder clinic. I had been taking Ambien and that was making me do this "sleep eating" thing and boy oh boy...like I needed to gain anymore weight! So I got off the Ambien and she prescribed Seroquel and Clonazepam for me. I am also on Neurontin for pain. Also eating a carb/protein snack right before bed helps. So my sleeping has improved tremendously. I think I get about 5 hours now instead of the 2 to 3 hours.

  Like you wanted anymore medical advice??? Sorry...I just had to throw in my 2 cents worth.

  Hope you get to feeling better and sleeping better soon. It's hard walking through your day feeling like a zombie.

  My dear Blondie:

  This article makes me glad I'm OUT!!! I don't have to sit for two Sundays and listen to how imperfect, unzealous, lazy, unspiritual and downright worthless I am. I don't have to sit and listen to how perfect, zealous, hardworking and spiritual all the elders, ministerial servants, regular pioneers, special pioneers and auxiliary pioneers are compared to me.

  I HATED FIELD SERVICE! In the over four decades that I was a member of this org...I never brought one person in by going door to door (or any other way for that matter). For this I will be eternally grateful.

  Thanks for the review Blondie!

  The Best years of our lives...

  hello friends!.

  well, i never thought i'd see the day when i was prepared to talk about my 20 plus years in "the truth" (rolls eyes upward in despair)!

  in view of what i have to show from it, i cannot help thinking that i wasted the best years of my life!

  Welcome Jonty!

  You seem to be farther along the evolutionary ladder than some of us. I applaud you for your ability to look at the good side of things rather than all the bad stuff that has happened in your life. You made some mighty fine points in your post...and even though it is hard, I am trying more and more to look at the positives in my life and the future years of freedom and joy ahead of me. Happiness really does come from within; as you stated, you don't have much in a material way...but your optimistic outlook is what gives you an abundance in life. I wish you and your bride-to-be much happiness. Congrats on the education thing too.

  Reading WT Publications

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  okay, i don't know about the rest of you, but when i read any wt publications (even on here), i fall into a state where i'm reading, but not paying attention to what i'm reading.

  i used to do it during watchtower studies, and when i was studying, i fought to pay attention to the material being discussed.

  it just seems automatic, that i completely shut my mind off when reading wt publications.. what about you?

  The only time I go near a Watchtower publication is to read Blondie's review. And that's only because she does such a great job of tearing apart the "(junk) food from the (un)faithful and (in)discreet slave". I just get a queasy, sick, about to barf feeling when I think about that stuff. Good riddance.
