  Do discussion boards have any healing effect?

  by gumby in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi friends,.

  i read somewhere else of the thought that discussion boards for ex-dubs, are not the place to heal unless there is proffesional help onboard.

  i disagree.

  Yes, I have found it to be a place of healing and comfort. Knowing you are not "alone" helps one to ease thru the new transition in life.

  Simon:

  I very much enjoyed Part 2....and have never heard of the Plaides...What book or reference material did you find it in?

  I found that when I got married, left home...that my Dad became more important to me. My Mom died of cancer when I was a very young teenager. (I was always very close to her...so her death was very tragic)

  I am not sure how you stayed in the "truth" after seeing apostate written on your car...you had some very unloving, unchristian people at your KH.

  Waiting anxiously for part 3.

  Interesting coincidence

  by cruzanheart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today is the one-year anniversary of my dad's suicide.

  i'm not bringing that up for sympathy or hugs, because while i feel sad i'm okay.

  i agree with the experts who say that one needs a year of grieving, passing the milestones, the holidays, the familiar seasons, in order to move on, and i do feel that i am moving on.

  BOLD move

  by Puternut in

  2. friends

  i have been a dub for too long, and most of my ambitions were hindered because of the 'kingdom first' issue.

  i never persued the things i wanted to do in life.

  and everywhere i go i run into people that i know, and they give me the 'dirty look'.

  I understand wanting to have sunshine and warmth...I have lived the last 25 years in US southern states...I am freezing here...There is nothing worse than going thru a divorce or major life change and freezing at the same time...HINT: Keep a beach picture as a screen saver until you set sail....kinda works for me!!!

  Dear Puternut:

  Oh, how you and Mr. CB are so alike....When we meet this weekend, you both will have plenty to discuss (don't forget about me...lol)...your scenarios are quite similar.

  I say: Go for the change....It will do you a "world" of good...(sorry for the pun) and there is nothing worse to feel empty and cold. Sounds exciting...and just get it all planned (your safety is a MUST)...It sounds like a very kewl adventure!!!

  Looking forward to meeting you and Octavia this weekend!!!

  Take care,

  I TOLD AN ELDERS WIFE OFF YESTERDAY!

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just to give you a bit of background: i was diagnosed with uterine cancer a couple of years ago and had to have a hysterectomy.

  naturally i got more support from all my worldly friends and co-workers than what i did from people at the hall, but am used to that by now.

  anyway, a few days ago, someone from the hall told me that sister x (one of the elders wives who is a nosey, back-stabbing bitch) had been saying things about me like "she shouldn't have had a hysterectomy because that's showing disrespect for the reproductive organs that jehovah gave us" and that i apparently was "lacking in faith" by not "leaving it in jehovah's hand" and didn't i read that article in the botchtower or asleep!

  First of all, so glad you have healed and are feeling better after your surgery!!!

  And, kudos to you for standing your ground with back stabbing people that only care about themselves. You can still send a letter to the society or write your circuit overseer with the info. I am sure on his next visit the sparks will be flying!!!
