Misery, seriously, get yourself a punching bag and take out some frustration. You've been talking about how you've always wanted to box- do it! Don't look at it as violence, it's for your own mental health so that you don't explode.

Hi MLE,

As a never-jw perhaps our experiences are different, but your anger felt very familiar to me.

For 17 years I was married to a man who dreamed big, and did bankruptcies. I effectively enabled this be staying in secure and well-paid employment. I was often angry, especially after children arrived. Didn't want to break up the marriage because I'd upset the kids, my parents and siblings, let everone down, lose contact with people who accepted us as a couple, all that.

Eventually he made the move. At least I recovered enough sense to start the divorce. Yes, it was hard being a single parent, and quite a bit of what I'd feared came true. Lots of ups and downs.

Now I'm almost twice your age. My children are healthy and happy young adults. I have a great job, presence in the community, a financially secure partner (not husband; stuff that!) and my siblings and I are civil to each other.

My one real regret is the time I wasted just "holding on".

You are quite gifted in commenting on life, and deserve to live it instead. Please, get an education at least!

(Hoping you are asleep and don't read this till morning.)

All the best, Retro

Know how you feel MLE. Same story for me. We, though are the lucky ones. Think of the thousands that have died from all the worthless mandates throughtout WT history. Take what you still have as a life & live it. Don't waste time looking back, I don't think they're sending checks out anytime soon. (I still wanna be the King of the Northeast. Stay out of NY lest I smite you with some yet to be decided plague. )

Several options: You could present the repair bill to the elders at the hall, or put it up on the bulliten board. You could divide up the bill into, say 10 parts. Then, the next time you are asked to do a favor that involves your car, immediately explain what happened w your car and that you require them to pay that amount, since it was spent by you in their service. Or, you could just tell them to eff off, or something to that affect.

Misery -

Until you finally walk away from the Watchtower Publishing Corp & Real Estate Co. Cult, your life will continue on as it is has -- an endless hamster wheel race to nowhere, more shirts, more shoes, more money down the drain, more cars for "theocratic" use...Your life will certainly be more of the same until you decide to change it.

On the other hand, you could walk away, go to college, enter a profession and build the life that you COULD be living. You CAN do it if you want. You are a smart guy. It's all up to you.

Or, will you look back on things in your 70s, and tell your story -- the story of how you could never break free from this apocalyptic doomsday cult that keeps promising its m embers that the end of the world will be here...any minute now. Yep, Armageddon. Always coming, never arriving. Kind of like that hamster on a wheel -- spending HUGE amounts of energy and NEVER getting anywhere.

Is it worth it to stay in the cult? There's a much better life just waiting for you.

I feel for you MLE, The last few weeks your posts are screaming: "I WANT OUT!!!!" I think it's time you started to fade before you end up in a Mental Hospital.

I think of the example the airlines give us when in an emergency: "Put the oxygen mask on yourself first, before your children, then and only then are you in a position to help others" Time to start your fade and slowly help your family. Living like this is not living.

The GB members never have any transportation problems for they have brand new leased vehicles at their disposal anytime.

LITS said last thursday night she listened in on the CO's talk and he stated:

"He then said you know my car that is parked outside really belongs to you, of course you cannot drive it because of insurance reasons but you are the ones who have paid for it "

you need to call on your CO, and remind him of that

((((((misery))))))

Not appeasing or even disappointing your family doesn't mean you don't love them. Sometimes we can't live up to our parents' expectations because we have our own; you're the one that has to live your life, it's not their's.
