Interesting phenomena regarding Witnesses
by JamesThomas infirst, and most important: thanks to all those who read my introduction-post last saturday, and especial thanks to those who replied.
like many who have been disfellowshipped (and especially those raised in the org) i've been dragged through icy waves of agonizing hurt and anger; often followed by times of peace and letting go; only to be hit by another turbulent and bitter bout of animosity and grief.
the tides do run deep, don't they.

Yeah tell me how they are faithful to a number, which I am as well as all the rest of the dubs. Oh pardon me they tell you not to use blood to save your life while using it in other means. And they don't want you to show love of country while they reap the rewards of living here, oh they want you to be so very happy with their weird justice behind closed doors when its slanted toward them in their favor, oh it caused me harm for not saluting the flag as kid I got the shit kicked out of me, oh I missed out on a much happier life by being raised a witness, oh I could have raised my kids better and happier by letting them taste life a bit, oh I could have had better self esteem if I would have played on the school basket ball team and had more chicks. And also I could have went to work for a federal job at a air base and made good money.

It used to bother me a lot how the Witness images of paradise showed men wearing suits and ties, and women wearing skirts with pumps. For me that was a clue that they were nuts right off the bat while in my teens. Oh and of course seeing John Deer tractors mowing down grave stones after the great battle, that bothered me a great deal, like I am sure John Deer company would be spared. Get a life !!

I got a sore big Toe, what do to make it better?
by Singing Man ini know this may sound kind of dum to talk about but its been a pain for a long time now.
my big toe on my left leg has been hurting i think it to be caused by a ingrown nail but i don't see anything and i cut the nail stright accross.
the side of mmy nail is inflamed and if i really get mad at it and squeeze hard on my toe pus will come out i soak it in salt water at night and put neosporen on it and wear shoes that have room for my toe, though its just been the last few weeks that i have wised up and got a pair that fits.

Older ones here, what do you remember being told about 1975 ???
by run dont walk in.
i was just a little kid when the 1975 thing came about, didn't pay much attention to it, after it was over, my parents told me it was just some people being over anxious, and being about 8 at the time i believed it, now when you research you find some amazing articles.
what do you remember being told about 1975 as the year got closer ?

Yeah I have, I watched the fourth of July fireworks with Jody Foster a actor at a place called Friday Harbor, WA her and I were setting together under her blanket, me with my youngest daughter of ten and her with a little toddler back in 1995. Then in the same town I would eat donuts and coffie with Timothy Dalton a actor, we became friends when I mistook him for a guy I knew on the main land. Timothy Dalton is a very down to earth actor, not a creep at all like most of them. I shared a smoke with Micky O'Roake an actor while working in Salt Lake City at that states capital building, he was filming a movie there he a very quite guy he does not say much, but he is cool enough. Oh and last if not lest I sat next to Robert Redford on a flight leaveing Salt Lake City to Seattle in 1979, I said its a small would huh? he just laughed.

In any event I hate it, I am afraid to go to the doctor they seem like they would just reach down there and rip my nail off. Sign: Wuss

Divorce does hurt, unless you just had no love ever at all for your mate or your a simple ass which it does not sound like you are. It will take time, time is the only healer so be around others go where there is people go to some crazy church if you have to. Don't stay alone like I did. If you have kids never forget to spend time with them let them know how much you love them, children can heal you its in their nature. Then go some where and cry, then go shoot a game of pool and have a hamberger and frys, and above all don't do anything rash.

Do u know any JW"s that have suicided?
by Rick Aust insorry if this is a sad question, but i know of 3 jw's that have suicided.

I did all most, does that count? I was told by my doctor that my seizures could kill me, so I stopped taking my medication in an effort to kill myself a few months after my disfellowshipping I did not succeed. Suicide is an act of desperation, not an act of being a coward. Sometimes you can be delirious from way too many painful thoughts, that all you can think of sometimes is for them to stop in anyway you can. It was my kids and my fleshly brothers that helped me, and kept me from dieing.
