by obiwan inwhy do you stay in an abusive relationship?
do you feel that it's your responsibility to change him?
do you feel you "owe" him.

I get an ounce of grief or control from someone and I'm gone.
We're some of the lucky ones, Stacy....we don't hafta see it, smell it, taste it or WALK IN it to recognize it for what it is.

Ever come close to blows with another witness?
by Dimples ini once went to a baby shower for a sister and planned on having a good time.
there were only sisters there and some brought their children.
the shower was held at a community center clubhouse.

No, but there were a few that I would've like to have pulled their heads off like pulling the wings off flies....and then told God they died from natural causes. (smirk)

It's my understanding, Obi, that often women who've been raised in an abusive environment will gravitate towards men who're also abusive.....they've already received the "message" that there's something inherently wrong with them, that they are deficient examples of womanhood, ergo, they will gravitate toward and opt to stay with an abusive mate....one who will continue to "feed" them the "message" that they are ill-equipped to live life successfully on their own and must depend on the abusively macho mate for sustenance and validation....of course, validation always comes in the form of abuse with the "message" that they are unworthy of anything or anyone better, which, in turn, reassures the victim of such abuse that they are, indeed, all that their upbringing in an abusive environment proved them to be....weak, inadequate, extremely faulty, lacking self-esteem, totally worthless....It's a "catch-22" situation....and extremely difficult for the victim to overcome....

Did You Make Excuses For The Jehovah's Witness Religion?
by minimus indid you ever find yourself having to defend your faith, while at the same time knowing, that your arguments were not so good to begin with?
for example, a person might say,"you people don't take blood and believe in doctors.
" even if we might have doubts about the blood issue, we would still defend our "faith" as best as we could.
