hey everyone i am newly on the outside of the jw org.

i am looking for others here in ne.
freelife...Welcome.
I live in the Dayton area. Our stories sound very much alike. When I married my now husband, I sent my parents an invitation, it was never acknowledged, so I called. My mom informed me that they, (my parents and younger brothers) were all going to Bethel for a visit. That she felt she had to set an example to the boys as to what was important to them.
So ten years later, the shunning has continued, and I'm still with my husband, and my parents have missed watching my children (from previous marriages) grow up, and they don't even know my grandchildren.
My husband still doesn't understand . But he just loves the x-JW's we've met.

this is a serious question.
how many of you have jobs?
from the number of posts and the times people complain on here, it looks that many of you don't.
I just sit around wait for Ed McMahon or Armageddon which ever comes first......

it's an addiction that i have tried to stop since i was a young boy.
my friends and loved ones have tried to encourage me to quit, but i just can't.
when i used to attend meetings, i would feed my addiction right there in the kingdom hall.
I wish this was only a guy addiction......
started when I was 5 years old. I can also crack my ankles, knees, hips, back and neck.
Lisa<----very flexible.
i'm going to offer some of my favorite quotations.
- non wt related - what are yours?
"i learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.
People may forget what you say and what you do....but they will never forget how you made them feel.

i've just read in another thread that due to circumstances the secret santa for this year hasn't been able to happen, so i want to try and organise another one!.
according to the lady at the post office, the closing date for international mail to be delivered before xmas is this week, but for post on the same continent we still have a few weeks so i'll try and take that into account so everyone can have their prezzy before christmas day.
if everyone who wants to join in can pm or email me at [email protected] with their details before 12noon sunday 30th november(uk time), i'll try and get the details back to you by sunday night.

ok, so we all know that the society if against ouija boards.
but even many "worldy" spirtualist and ufo types say ouija boards are dangerous.. so, have any of you ever messed around with one?.
i did with my wife and sister in law and all it spewed out was meaningless garbage.
I just recently bought a Oiuji Boad.....no one in my family is even the slightest bit interested in playing with it. My 6 year old granddaughter was looking at it, she said where does the batteries go. I said it doesn't use batteries, she said it won't work with out batteries.....

i recently was pulled from my regular job in customer service to help work on our company's "global transformation project" which involves getting all of our company's disparate software systems onto one system.. most of the programmers that i am working with now are from india.
i tell ya, they are the friendliest, most polite people i've ever come across, they are such a pleasure to work with.
i wonder if it's hinduism, or their culture, or maybe i'm just meeting the "cream" of a nation with something like a billion people, but i think the western world could learn a lot from these humble folks.
I worked for a female doctor from India, for about 3 years. She was like corpsec said, very condescending. Her office was on the third floor of the hospital. When we would walk to the caferteria for coffee or something, she insisted that I walk 3 steps behind her. I also found her to be somewhat, ummm, nasty as to hygiene. For instance, she regularly came in with greasy hair and dirty finger nails. She also didnt have regular paper covers for her examining tables, she used pieces of silk fabric, that she took home once a week to be cleaned.
She also married her daugher (14) off to her husbands brother. I questioned her about that, she simply said that's the way they do things. Keep the wealth in the family. She herself was married to her father's brother.
