what do the stars look like without makeup?.
i guess there is no reason for despair, is it?.
yakki da.
Thanks Kent!
I always knew that the Stars and Models are every bit as as human as the rest of us but it’s always nice to see it.
The other morning a group of us girls got together for our monthly club meeting.
We were instructed to show up with no makeup at all. After the meeting we were going to get a Mary Kay makeover. I was rushing the lady to get us past the cover up and makeup base! It was amazing to see the transformation in all of us.
I JUST LOVE MAKEUP!!

yes, we non-religious apostates have our paradise fantasies too.
most of us let go of the fantasy of living forever on a paradise earth for another hope.
the one we hope in is a little more realistic than the one we have left behind.. we have accepted that we dont have all the answers about god and an afterlife.
My Gosh!!!
This must sound really nutty not to have any replies!
I know this is just wishful thinking.I don't really believe this will ever happen.
But I feel it has a greater chance of coming true than so many of the religious fantasies of paradise or hopes for the future.I wish it could come true.

following is the response of a jw to the information regarding the un/ngo status of the watchtower society.
it seems not all will see with clarity the hypocritical position of the organisation in this matter:.

Thought I’d share my first response to the letters I sent out about the WT and UN.
First a little background.
My father is Df’d and ran back to my mom and the WT as soon as the WTC tragedy happened. This left my sister homeless and scared to death.
I was so afraid this was going to send her running back to WT too. I’ve been helping her as much as I can and I sent her a copy of the letter I sent to my mom about the UN.
My sister called me this morning. She said that this info was disgusting and would have sent her running away from the Org if she was still in good standing.
She is shocked but believes the info I gave her.
My dad promised me he would read the Bible before going back to the JWs, of course he also promised not to drink and drive, to stop gambling and to give my sister a home till she graduates from college. Why am I shocked that he lied and broke all his promises!!! I’m hopeless at wanting to believe him. Any way he also promised to read Combating Cult Mind Control by Steven Hassen so I sent it to him. When he broke all his promises I had my sister take the book back and she has promised to read it.
I won’t hold my breath but I’m hopeful.

We have accepted that we don’t have all the answers about God and an afterlife. Neither does anyone else. We no longer worry about things we have no control over. We are resolved to cherish our freedom of mind and choose to live this life to the fullest, being the best we can be. We refuse to waste precious time being negative about our gift of life. We will not wish this life away for another one that will never come.
Our hope is that one day our friends and family will be freed from the bondage of mind and body to the Watchtower Society or any other destructive belief system!
We hope that some day soon we will be so busy reestablishing lost relationships and helping them to rebuild their lives and living our own that we won’t have time for this board except to post our wonderful experiences of friends and family united again along with stories of lives and minds reclaimed!

i do have two new return visits but they are not from field service.. my womens club went to a local nursing home today.
we brought the elderly gifts, we sang songs with them, and we brought our pets, and listened to them.
they were so happy to see us and share some of their lifes experiences with us.. it was different to go to a nursing home with no ulterior motives like pushing jw literature.. it felt right to just give them what they wanted most.
Hey!
If were going to get that technical we need to call them rendezvous.

i'm interested in finding out what everyone is reading these days.. or what books have had an impact on your worldview since leaving the org.. what have you found helpful in re-constructing and broadening the way you think and feel?.
what have you found to be particularly enlightening on 'your journey?'.
thanks in advance,luv to all.tina.
Princess,
I can't believe it! Your reading those demonized books!
That's what we thought anyway not so many months ago.
We wouldn't let the kids read them and would have had a fit if they brought one home from the school library.
Now as I write this my oldest daughter has one in her room and I'm thinking of taking both my kids to the movie.
Also I agree about the smutty book needs.
I love Joanna Lyndsey's books!

anybody know anything about "common marmosets" as pets?
they are a very small monkey - but don't really look like a monkey.
they are squirrel size and the type i want has large white tufts in thier ears.
I don't know any thing about these little critters but they sure sound cute!

ok.. for those of you who may not know me from previous posts, all i can say is this is unusual for me and please do not judge me as a person for it.
for the other friends who know me by such, please take this into consideration when you read this.
i would like to get some feedback on this, perhaps from some of the folks from the martial arts threat joel started recently, especially if you have also read my other posts.. (hopefully a well balanced combo).
Intro,
I’m not going to judge you. It’s not my place to do that any way.
I will let you know what I thought after reading your post.
First I feel you already see how unwise this was and probably won’t do it again, right?
This situation could have gotten very nasty. It also could have gone one way or the other.
What I mean is he could have turned out to be a psycho and pulled a gun and shot you or you could have been a psycho for all he knew and could have blown him away.
I hope you both realize this so nothing bad will happen in the future.
I don’t feel sorry for the guy if he was scared. That’s what he deserved for not thinking before acting like a maniac!
Just be thankful it didn’t get worse and please be more sensible in the future.
