  Re-introducing myself. :)

  i haven't posted here in ages, so i doubt anyone remembers me.

  in any case, my name is rochelle, and i used to be a witness.

  i started studying with them at age 17, got baptized at 18, and left at 24 or 25 for a lot of reasons.

  i just finished watching the dateline piece, and i'm sitting here with tears in my eyes.

  tears of joy that the truth has come out; tears of sorrow for the children who have suffered; tears of pride at bill bowen's efforts and how they came into fruition tonight.

  but most of all, i'm happy because i know in my heart that, were i still an active jw, that segment would have sickened me enough to make me quit.

  you'd have to read it to believe it.

  Why are people so determined to be miserable?

  by Sunchild in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i was reading through a few of yk's words of wisdom, i found myself wondering about that very question.

  how often have you heard these statements given by christians in particular (and sorry to pick on you guys, but it's the easiest example):.

  "when i get to heaven....".

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know i haven't been here in awhile, but i just figured i'd drop by and say hello.

  i know i've been away for awhile (yeah, like that many people would notice *g*), but for the most part, i've been working on a site redesign.

  if you're curious, you can see it at http://www.dreamsphere.net/ .

  and for anyone aware of the reasons i went on hiatus in the first place, don't worry: i'm not mad at anyone.

  i ran across this site by accident last night.

  if you're not too attached to the bible and are willing to keep an open mind, you might want to check it out: http://www.secularspirituality.org/index.html.

  Ah, the sweet taste of freedom!

  by Sunchild in

  2. friends

  today, i did a couple of things that i never would've or could've done had i remained a jw.

  first of all, i spent the first half of my day being a promotional model for snapple.

  my job: smiling, looking cute, and handing out free snapple drinks.
