i'm wondering what sort of biking shoes and pedals you are using.
i'm a road biker, so i enjoy speed and distance riding, and am upgrading my shoes and pedals.
anyone have experience with specialized road shoes with the boa stem?
You would never know from looking at me today, but I got to ride in a couple of road racing events with Greg LeMond, back in his hay days, between his first two Tour DeFranc wins. He was a great guy! I so wish I had known TTATT back then! I would have never been a great rider, but I loved the sport! It was a hell of a good time!

i think these boards are great!
it gives us the opportunity to express our feelings, our viewpoints, our concerns, etc.
when we were jws we could not freely do any of that.
HAHAHAHAHA you guys are crazy!!!!!!!: )

question: do you think the "double-lifers" have the best of both worlds?.
just asking, because i have wondered, if i had an outlet to express my utter.
disgust and general dissatisfaction with wt teachings and cong-life while i. was still in, ie on forums etc, maybe i would never have left.. just a thought, anyone else have any?.
It's real close to hell!

i mean its says right in there not to pray in public, or babble on, how many 10 minuet long babbling prayers have you endured ??.
where in the bible does it tell us anyone prayed for a large group of people publicly, or even in front of the family at their homes?.
it says in vs 14 to be forgiving, how can disfellowshipping someone be forgiving?
Instead, they will pull a small bit out of a story, and build it into a major teaching and internal government or gb, as they call it.
There are so many things like that, they do, and support with a snippet here and one there!

a big decision no one wants to make, but would you have a preference?.
and, i guess it may depend on what kind of relationship you have with your family.. .
A very nice spot in the woods way behind my parents, in the early spring, with the daffodils in full bloom. Alone except for my dog, and me!

i certainly wouldn't.
and if the elders wanted to have a meeting with me, i would respectfully decline.
if the elders wanted to deal with you, would you talk with them?.
NO NO NO!!!
One kangaroo court is enough to last a lifetime!
Uncaring, unloving, unfeeling, cold harted, Basters!
i wasn't looking where i put my feet, and i almost took the cart out!
anyway, i stopped and chatted with the people for a bit.
three women and a man -- an elder and his wife.
I would NEVER be rude to any of them! It would only make them dig in deeper, and say, Wow you can sure see that person has lost gods holy sprit, and instead, is filled with the satanic sprit!
My mom in law, now has internet service, she can't afford, a tablet she can't understand, a roku player, with just the jw app set up on it!
She is 84 years young!

it's been 12 years since i first read ray franz's books and the scales came off my eyes.
by that time i was in my forties.. since 2002 i went back to school and have worked with 3 very professional organizations.
but my biological clock is ticking away and while my peers are looking forward to retirement, i am only beginning.
I really woke up early last year. 54 years down the drain. I so wish i had woke up so long ago. The sad thing to me is, I am pretty beat up health wise, and still stuck pretending. But I am close to the breaking point in so many ways! And so tired of this game, and the wasted life, that I gave to the borg!

i've been a lurker for quite some time and enjoy the forum.
i've reached a point in life where i don't argue ideologies anymore so i don't have much to say.
i've been out for decades and believe i've been mostly de-cultabilized (if that's even a word).. my family is still in and i haven't had contact with them in years.
Well Mark my word, it's good to have you!
