NO LONGER SATISFIED AS I WAS, WITH JWD FORUM (page 6)

outoftheorg

Ya know Minimouse when some one has a problem in their life and brings it here to this forum, there are usually several who post their condolences and offer helpful suggestions.

These people are sincere and want to help their fellow man. They are willing to take the time to really be of some use to these unfortunate people.

I may have missed some but I have never seen you ever offering help to those that asked for help in dealing with a problem.

You remind me of the jw elders who walk by and make some degrading remark to another jw without stopping to hear a reply or really offer help. Such as "Why dont you contribute more to make this place more satisfying?" Out of all the members that replied to my post, YOU are the only one with an ignorant sarcastic approach.

Then you follow up with " ouch well good riddance then!"

Typical jw elder response. Offer no helpful discussion, just discard, df them.

In this world there are takers and givers. You are not a giver.

You have no room to criticize me or anyone until you start to contribute to helping others who bring their problems to this forum for help.

I HATE it when my "friends" fight...

Yes Trevor and U/D and Maveric I know what you are saying is right. I need to take time off and give it a rest. I never intended to just leave and not return.

There are things in my life, that at the age of 70 is hard to deal with. My wife has been diagnosed with diabetes and at this point at least the meds etc. don't seem to be working.

She has a son in his thirtys that is on drugs and and won't work and I have a son in his thirtys and is in prison for a while. This and the other family members who still shun me makes it hard to be happy. So I detatch and stay away from them and this also is hard to do. I watch my wife suffer with the fears for her son and I can only offer suggestions as help.

Some times this fucking life just sucks and looking down the path to my own 10 or 15 yrs of life left for me is almost more than I can handle. Suicide is not an option and running away is not an option so I am left with just hang in there and do my best. I have always been a strong muscular man and I can see and feel that drifting away also.

I wish that fucking Jehovah would really take some care for his creations. Oh I forgot, he doesn't exist. Guess he got df'd also.

Well enough of this I guess.

Outof, I had some similar feelinga a few months ago. I thought that I too was nearing the end of my jwd shelf-life. But, I after lying low for a couple months, with just a post here and there, I found myself stopping by because I wanted to - not because of some sense of need on my part.

I still don't post nearly as often as I used to, nor do I even attempt to read as many threads. But I do still find the board very informative -and of late that's been mainly on non-jw related topics, or the Bible in general. So even if you're all jw'd out, if you feel like it, just frequent the board to the degree you're comfortable with.

It seems you have a lot to cope with at the moment and facing the twilight years with regrets is not ideal. You seem to be grieving the loss of your faith, the loss of your youth along with trying to cope with your son's problems. That is a lot to cope with. You need to seperate your feelings and work out where the strongest one is coming fromand give that attention first.

I try to remember that we are all just visitors to this planet and one day we have to move on. It helps to keep things in perspective and to be a little detached from problems that threaten to overwhelm.

Perhaps you need to get away for a few days and blow away some cobwebs?

I hope you feel better soon.

Don't let JWD become another burden... you've got enough from the sound of it...

Just don't forget who the real "enemy" is...

It's what we all have in common...

I love this board. Smart people, great posts, good friends. I even like all the people who think I'm an ass . If I get tired of it I won't make a big production, Ill just take a break till whenever.. but I'll be back off and on. Lot's of internet boards are like that.

No husband, no kids, no mother or father, no friends!!!!!!!

How many tears this forum could have saved me had I found it sooner!

Please remember new ones are coming out of the Borg every day who desperately need your help and compassion.

Outoftheorg, take a break and you will see these are exceptionally wonderful people speaking here.
It is hard to find a collective of rational minds out there who have a better caring spirit than this.

Love and Happy Friday Wishes to you all!
