I'm thankful for every breath that I'm able to take.

The beautiful scenes I've witnessed in this planet

I'm thankful for my gift of music

That I no longer consider myself important enough to be loved by a creator and that I feel, in living, as if death is a breath of wind into a happier nonexistence that I am waiting for and can look forward to with every waking hour.

I am thankful that i met my husband, that i was never raised jw, that i have the conviction to lead him to open his eyes, for Barbara Anderson, for EVERYONE here, for Him, for such understanding parents, for the coolest siblings anyone could ever ask for, for the bravery of the victims that speak out.

luv you all!

It really is a searching question and to be completely honest I spent so much of my life being thankful for next to nothing and being told to do so that now that's the place I've reached - being thankful for nothing. I just don't feel it anymore. What I don't feel is any part of any family - a feeling that was born at 11 and has hovered nearby from time to time but never settled in my life. I gave it my best and that wasn't enough. So I'm done! Whatever occurs does so with a sense of purposelessness which never leaves me. It is because from childhood my thoughts were in tune with those of a man who is now dead, whereas the rest thought like a person who still lives and with whom I have no allegiance. It is like looking back on a JW type psychology before moving into JW proper and then breaking free into a similar zone. From one tunnel into another and I am complete in my emptiness. And all I want is to be completely empty. It is enough! My one regret is that the force within me which was strong to stand up for those I love was taken from me by those whom I once fought long and hard for and so now I am left empty of force or responsibility and seek no where. That will be enough when I arrive!

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, and all of JWD.

I am thankful for my daughters, family, friends and my wonderful bf (who is the best!),

I am thankful that I can still walk and am not in a wheelchair.

I am thankful that I am using my mind to think for myself.

I am thankful for so many things that are impossible to list.

I am thankful for my wife of 33 years, who has loved me in spite of my wicked apostate ways.
I am thankful for my daughter who is now out of 'incarceration' and I believe is a reformed soul. AMEN
I am thankful for my three Grandmunchkins, and the love that flows both ways in my home.
I am thankful for my Father, his GF, my sister, her husband, and that extended family,
My job and Wifey's job, and the income provided in these years of supporting so many family.
JWD. 'Nuff said.
The many friends I have made on/off of this forum.

I have meditated to understand my heart and why it is void of 'thankful'. It reveals that responsibility is what stops me feeling thankful. Responsibility to resolve things my heart took upon itself to help others with but which has been taken out of my control. I am unable to help but still feel the badge stuck to my heart which is so loyal. It is my absolute commitment and loyalty which it finds it hard to let go of till I am no more! It is my enormous trust in others which has seen no equal which has brought me down. It is this which mothers breed into men the world over - along with the men whose mothers did the same - to stand up for your people, for your family, for those you love till your life is on the line. Maybe that is where such a powerful emotion was born - which lets me see myself go down without any care for myself. But it is betrayal that one feels for all that your life stands for when your heart stands for people who you realize do not have those same feelings. Ones who have been conditioned that it is not their place to take up such a stand but to look out for themselves or even to reject family when they see fit or God demands it. Ones who have done very little for you when you did much for them. Ones who see the world only through their own eyes and not the eyes of others as you do so often. Maybe this is it - I am not sure but my heart is feeling this! And I know if it is truth others will know it!
