  due to a problem with the server i was using for the maps i have had to move them so we can still have access to them and post them here.

  so if you were wondering where we are from.

  my mother's microwave oven has an unpleasant odor, tainting the food she heats.. about two weeks ago, she heated a cat toy (catnip), to refresh it.

  she did it for 2 minutes, not realizing that was wayyyyy too long.

  20 seconds maybe.

  i don't know if this subject has been touched on before - i didn't know what section to put it under.. i have to go to the meeting this sunday - basically emotional blackmail by my husband (long story).

  i have suffered from panic attacks in the past.

  when i don't go to the meetings, and my family do, i get very panicky and breathless.

  Do You Feel Better Since You Stopped Meetings?

  so many witnesses have been ill. i'm not talking about the flu or a cold, either.

  many witnesses suffered from ailments that were not necessarily common to most people.

  i know of jw's that had to literally run out of the meetings every week because they said they were allergic to perfumes and different scents.

  did you find that you tended to find yourself alone, without many people to talk to, or were you generally able to chit-chat with the "friends" at the hall?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you were associated in the congregation, were you treated in a way that made you feel like you were a 2nd class citizen?

  how were you regarded?

  were you the brunt of criticism or were you pretty much well-liked?
