After reading many topics.. I'm confused. Is this a JW forum or an ANTI-JW?
by MichaelM ini'm studying with a jehovah's witness and it makes quite a bit of sense but i've been reading many topics on here and it seems that i can find every christian denomination and every religion except jehovahs witnesses.
do any jw's actually browse here?
maybe i'm just getting unlucky and picking the wrong topics where everyones discussing about how they used to be jw's.

My daughter has been attending a Lutheran private school for the past three years for middle school. Tonight she graduated from the school, and will be starting public high school in the fall.
There were only five kids total in the eighth grade. My daughter was chosen Salutitorian, having the second highest grade point average. She had to give her first speech ever. When she made the rough draft of the speech, she put "validvictorian" instead of "valedictorian," which was kinda cute and pathetic at the same time.
Here are some pics: (A proud mom just has to share )

The entire eighth grade with their homeroom teacher
About to take the limo to the party, with homeroom and science teacher/volleyball/basketball coach
Best friends since 3rd grade. Her friend went to public school, and my daughter CANNOT WAIT to be reunited with her best friend. They made plans tonight to ride to school together on their first day of high school.
"OK, Mom, you have taken enough pictures for the night!"
She has gone from a sullen, surly, loner child to a bright, outgoing, confident child. I am so pleased with this school--it was worth every penny I had to scrape up to pay for tuition. I hope her high school experience will be just as great or better!

Is this petty? An argument with the neighbours
by needproof ini'd like to ask you all whether or not you think that we are being petty here.
the house next door to us has been empty for a while now.
the last person to use it was a chinese doctor who used to house illegal immigrants which looked after his little cannabis factory.

Can you acquire a new recycling bin from the city/county and paint their number on it? As long as it didn't inconvenience you more than a phone call so they can drop one off without charge, it may be less of an inconvenience than escalating bad feelings.

YOUR DAILY JOURNAL
by compound complex indear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

I keep a journal, and have about a dozen that date back to 1980 (I was 10 years old.)
When I am happy, I don't write in my journals. The longest period between entries is a year. When I'm unhappy, I write profusely. Sometimes 3 or 4 times a day. (1996 was a bumper year for journals--I think I have two. Conversely, I have been writing in my present journal since 2002--almost full.)
Today has been unbelievably hectic. I worked at my first job from 8:00 to 9:15, then went to my second job from 9:30 to 2:45. I picked up my daughter and her friend at 3:00. We went to Target to get a new bathing suit for my daughter, because she is going on a field trip to Wet n' Wild tomorrow. Then we went to Publix, and I got flowers and food for a sports banquet tonight at the school. Her friend's mom had special ordered flowers at a florist, so then we went there, and they didn't have the flowers ready, so we had to wait around and now I am running late. Macaroni and cheese is bubbling in the oven, and I need to leave in 5 minutes. When I get to the school, I have to try and find parents who agreed to put a little cash in the volleyball/basketball coach's card, so we can present the flowers and card to her during awards. After, I have to go back to Target because my daughter bought the wrong size bottoms, and then I have to go to my mom's rental house and sweep, collect dead bugs and lizards, dust, turn on the air conditioner, and make sure the breaker hasn't popped on the hot water tank.
When I get home, I will crash. Got to go....I can't believe I took the time to write this!

Songs that make you cry...
by El Kabong ini've been kind of sad the past few days for several reasons, but, there are certain songs that just cause the tears to flow whenever i hear them (and especially alone).
only time by enya.
i know that this song is often linked to the sept 11 attacks, but it really is just so hauntingly beautiful.

"Coming Undone" came out last year? I thought it was older than that. I had it cranked up on my player in my room last night, and my daughter's best friend out in the living room overheard it and asked me what it was...she wanted it for her iPod.
I listen mostly to alternative now, and have for about 4-5 years. I like angry music at this point in my life. It dawned on me in a conversation with Uzzah that my liking for angry music came about the same time I discovered this board, and found out how badly duped I had been. Perhaps when I move on from angry music, I'll move on from this board. Or vice versa.

I laughed my ass off at this one on my chart:
Respects the religion in which she was brought up as a child, still holds this belief.
