    just recently i was hospitalized ,,,for another suicide attempt... i think iwill make the next one stick

    Wildfire, if you take yourself out, then the WTS wins. Doing this will only prove to your JW family that they DO have the truth. I know that when you're the only one fighting a battle, you get tired. Please, just try and take a rest and get some first aid for your battle wounds. As long as they're not firing guns at you, you've still got much to live for. Don't give up on yourself and your children. I'm sure they love you.

    wildfire, hello there. you have had so many encouraging thoughts from people who have been hurt, would you mind if i just suggested something? somewhere near you would surely be a park or garden, why not just go there and sit quietly down and meditate, no radios, no people, just yourself. rain, hail, or sunshine. you may like to contemplate on what you see around you- sky, clouds, birds, flowers, grass, trees, everything living in its own way, even the little birds flying around are such a marvel how so tiny a brain works, the small creatures in the river or pond, don't think of humans....we're the worst!!. wildfire, what I am trying to ask you to do, is what has helped me to handle life's problems too, we all have much we'd like to forget sometimes caused by us, but mostly others or outside issues. my son is now 26, seems to be settling down better, was 6 when he saw his mum horribly killed by a drunk driver, (after the memorial in front of half the congregation) he played around with drugs and alcohol at school, got into strife, crossed borders of correct behaviour, spent a year in prison, got a huge amount of family criticism from brothers/ sister and step brothers and sister, i cannot have him in my home or property to live because of his errors.......and on and on. i wasn't going to tell you my position, but you sound so down, please though, say a word of prayer to jehovah god for me too as well as for yourself, because deep down i still believe that he is, and that he does care for us (hard to see sometimes eh?)

    and may i close in asking you to accept the expressions of care from so many on this board, i sort of think we all would like to have the power to fix things, as only Christ has, and we really shouldn't be telling god what to do, should we?

    my sincerest thoughts,

    gdt (geoff)

    kls, special thanks to you, is there anyone living nearby wildfire who could be with her? just a thought. if we weren't in Oz, my wife and i would drop in a date cake or something and try to be helpful if we could.

    and again, thank you, i've got 66 years on this earth coming up, some great, some good, some lousy times! take care,

    geoff.

    wildfire, geoff again. i just read your biography (to try and see where you live actually), and i notice you write intense poetry. guess what? so does my son i was telling you about, he'd love to be a journalist or writer and has quite a library of poems, but my son , whilst not autistic or obviously backward, may have 'aspergers syndrome' as he has trouble coordinating as in trying to play tennis, but if you could help him in any way you know how i would feel as a silly old father... been to all the specialists etc, somehow think plain down to earth humans are better?????

    cheers, geoff.

    WildFire i am so glad you are going in for help. You have been through so much i know but you are stronger then you think. If you ever ,ever need us we are here but please take of yourself and screw those that hurt you . That is what i have done let them live in their own vomit and the circle they have made for themselves. WildFire i have known you since i came to JWD and i know you are a sweet loving person and don't ever forget it.
