    Well it's come to my attention that some of you took Thunders poem LITERALLY. That you now have images as a crazed testosterone filled male.....Even some of you that have met him.

    I just want you to know that it was a POEM....a very symbolic riddled poem. Much bravado can be done in the written word for men for myself I tend to like to make it make me be TALL. LOL

    I just don't want ANYONE having the wrong idea....

    To those that brought your concerns to my attention ((((((Smoochies))))))))))))) for caring enough to PM me......but fear not. Thunder is a Teddy Bear LOL I just tell him he's a Grizzly

    Sheila, I thought that Thunder's poem was awesome. Since I know Thunder, it never occurred to me to interpret his poem in such a way as to make him a psycho. Anybody who knows Thunder and can't see that it was only a poem needs to have their brain examined.

    Yes, Thunder is a teddy bear and he loves his Sheila.

    Sheila: No worries from me. I am a "poet" and totally understand his poem.

    I guess interpretation is a four letter word..when it comes to the written word. LOL

    Maybe that's why I always disagree with my oldest sons English teachers in grade 10-12. They give them a piece of writing and ask them to write their thoughts and perceptions on what they read and then they say. Nope, boy.. you are wrong. It is interpreted this way so you don't get this higher mark. Gee's I hate when some english teachers do that. Grrr...

    I found that out as I gradually came to the realization that the WTBTS was based on their interpretations of their bible while pushing it down my throat.

    I really loved Thunder's poem, and understood it completly. I started a thread on anger because of what the JW's have done in my life,,,,I even said I wanted to put my hands around their necks........and ,,,,,,,,well,,,,,, ya get the picture. Of course I hope....,,,,,hehe that I would never do that literally, but still I feel like I WANT to sometimes.

    I remember when I was about 14 my dad found my secret stash of poetry . I didnt show them to a soul and never would have,,,,,,I didnt see them as being as evil and dark as he said they were. He made me burn them, throwing them into our fireplace , as I cried feeling totally misunderstood. Not only did he invade my privacy, ( hell, there was no privacy really anyway in our home, everything was monitored) , he insulted me, he just didnt get it.

    Poems, and other things written are a beautiful way to express yourself . Sometimes these poems keep us sane, keeps our feelings in check.

    I mentioned to Thunder how I know how he feels in regard to that poem,,,,,,,,I feel that way about Denny, he helps me to keep things in perspective, all the wrongs done to me. He keeps me focus on the here and now, and I am able to not let those evil demons in my memories take over me.

    BTW,,,,,,, do you and Thunder have your life stories posted here? I would like to read them.

    Hugs to a great couple,,,,,,((((((Thunder and Sheila)))))))

    I think it's great that some folks who may have read it differently than it was intended cared about you and Thunder enough to express that concern. There is something very right about that !!

    And as someone who actually knows Thunder (not to be confused with the pretend kind) he IS a teddy bear. In fact, last time we were all together we had to sew him up after some of his stuffing came out !!

    And he makes one helluva turkey !!

    Thank you all for understanding .....I was shocked that things such as this can be so misconstrued.......

    Lyin I can't believe what your Dad did...and I think you more that ANYONE understands Thunders demons. Pain from childhood can eat at you and fill you with rage. He too could never have privacy or ANTHING that was his....

    I think our stories are splattered out piece meal thru for me 4000 or so posts LOL for him he is not so disclosing. We will both work on posting that. I do have a piece I wrote about how I grew up religiously that may help too.

    From now on I will have Thunder post disclaimers on the poems LOL ROFLMAO

    PS I also don't want to belittle anyone that was truly concerened for me and Thunder. That was AWESOME that you chose to approach me and say "Hey this worries me." I mean truly how awesome is that....instead of wondering or worse going to others, I instead got to dispel a mispreception and nip it in the bud.
