Sent my DA letters out
by Cicatrix infinally got up the nerve to send my da letters out yesterday.i sent them in lovely scarlet envelopes(in homage to nathaniel hawthorne's "the scarlet letter")with american flag stamps hehe.i wrote the letters on my hound dog stationary.thought it was fitting, having heard the old "dog returning to its vomit" speech a few gazillion times(hey, my lab and dal eat lots of vomit and they love horse manure-vet says they're the healthiest doggies around:)).. then i went out and bought a little christmas tree and some teeny tiny ornaments.yeah, i know, i'm rushing it a bit.but i really really missed celebrating christmas, and i didn't even admit that to myself until just recently.my kids were absolutely thrilled!
!this year will be their first everything.i'm going to buy them all "my first christmas" ornaments.. but first we have halloween and a few birthdays to do.my sons already got their first invitations to a birthday party.
my kids want me to go trick-or-treating with them.maybe i'll dress up as cruella deville and take my dalmatian puppy,sidhe, with me.. my,my, i'm running on and on like a kid at christmas...and halloween...and ..... it's good to be free.i don't care what the org boogeymen try now.i've said my piece to them,now i'm done with them.i don't have to sneak around and worry about whose seeing me do this or that.i'm the one who has chosen to leave-and you bet your boots i will hold certain ones to their own rules about not speaking to me lol.in this case, what comes around, goes around.i'm just glad to be off the org carousel.i'm a little dizzy yet, but still standing.. hehe-i'm getting punchy.i'm going to go to bed and sleep in on a sunday morning!!!

Anyone's take on Donnie Darko?
by Cicatrix ini saw the movie awhile back.i watched it twice and was left feeling?????
yet, somehow i'm still wondering why do i have an emotional connection-what is this reminding me of(no, i have not travelled back in time lol).. when i was a kid, i used to have nightmares about a huge rabbit(i think i watched too many episodes of dark shadows and too many harvey re-runs).maybe that's the connection.i don't know.the movie doesn't scare me, on one level i think it's kind of lame.
still,it made sit up and take notice, but i'm still not sure what i'm reacting to.. anyone else have a take on how it made you feel?

Newbie
by blackrose inhello, i am new to this board in a way.
i have been reading messages for about a month now and just got the nerve up to register an account so i can give my "two cents" once in a while.
i was raised a jw, but just recently expressed openly that i do not have plans on associating with them any longer.. anyways, not going to type my story out right now, as i do not know if any one wants to hear it.

Is it normal to feel jealousy???
by butalbee init's been over between us for months now, didn't end very good either.
i do regret hurting him like i did, but at the time, i needed to be free of him and any/all dubs.
i've finally moved on w/ my life, i have a wonderful new man in my life--who treats me like a princess--and i feel lucky to be w/ him.

The Final Solution...
by happysunshine inhow could anyone feel good about a paradise built on the bodies of 6,000,000,000 massacred people?
how could you join this religion and feel like you are doing "the right thing", be happy about such a paradise, rejoice in its righteousness, goodness, and wholesomeness?
i can understand being raised (forced) in it, but joining it?!

Any advice on DA process?
by Cicatrix in.
hello all,.
i'm a newbie that's been lurking here for a couple of weeks, trying to get up the nerve to post.i've made the decision to da myself after months of thought and research.i'm not familiar with the procedure,though.is there anything that any of you feel is particularly important for me to know?do i have to go before a jc to da?if i refuse to,will they just df me?i prefer to make it clear that i am the one who is voluntarily leaving, but having been a victim of the kangaroo court proceedings on other occasions, i just can't bring myself to put myself in the elder's "loving" hands again (a story for another day).i'm fortunate that none of my family members are baptised or even active witnesses at this point.. any input would be much appreciated.. cicatrix
