How can I ever leave this cult?

by Julia Orwell in

jw
friends

i've been out nearly two years but it's not out of me.

i am on school holidays now til february so i thought without work to worry about i can come off my medication.

i phased it slowly, starting in early november to avoid the physical side effects of coming down.

I'm damaged. I'm a survivor - I'm damaged, too. But I'm doing my best to survive as well.

I'm guilty and ashamed - try not to let the cult make you feel this way but don't beat yourself up over this. As someone else at JWN said - you're good to go.

All the Christmas decorations make me uncomfortable - If you're big on christmas - ok. If you couldn't care less about christmas - that's ok, too.

I know it's easy for me to type this but try and own the past - keep any good memories you have and try to discard the bad ones.

Take care

your favourite Christmas music , and merry Christmas to you all

by jhine in

i am perhaps a bit behind on this but i have just listened to " grandma got run over by a reindeer " sung by elmo and patsy .

it got me to thinking about christmas songs in general ,so i thought a thread about people's favourite christmas songs would be good .

please share your fave christmas music , a carol or something more modern .to start i will list my best carol as hark the herald and my best ever chart song as santa claus is coming to town by bruce springsteen .

Good idea for a thread, jhine, & merry christmas to you too.

I think my absolute favourite has to The Power of Love by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. The video is a bit tacky but the lyrics are beautiful and beautifully sung.

'Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love, flowers
And pearls and pretty girls ...'

JWdaughter: He was a refugee and he knows what kind of hell the people are being put through because of military intervention by the west.

cofty: As opposed to the paradise that was Afghanistan previously?

I read in the Mail that he came from Iran. If this is true then he probably emigrated due to the oppressive Iranian regime, nothing to do with the US.

It was NOT a muslim terrorism action - I see, and the flag this lunatic chose to have displayed in a window just, by chance, was black with the shahada written in white?

BTW muslim terrorism and mental illness aren't mutually exclusive - maybe it's safe at this stage to say that this was a case of muslim terrorism that featured a mentally-ill man?

According to the Daily Mail, the siege has ended with one hostage and the terrorist dead.

My thoughts go to the survivors, their relatives, and the relatives of the dead hostage.

I'm glad the terrorist has been killed.

Your favourite dog breed ...?

by LoveUniHateExams in

in an earlier thread, i mentioned that i wasn't a particularly doggy person but that my parents got a husky last year that i've come to regard as a kind of brother.. huskies superficially resemble wolves and for me it's been fun to compare and contrast husky and wolf behaviour.

huskies howl but rarely bark, and seem to have a strong prey drive and a strong pack instinct - a nod to their wild cousins.

this is why i love huskies, i think.. do you have a favourite dog breed and why?.

Sorry, Shanagirl, forgot to reply to you - that great Dane is majestic, and could almost be the horse in Black Beauty.

B_T_D_T - nice photo, are they border collies?

The sort of rubbish and hysteria you guys are spouting is why terrorist attacks work so well in the US - I don't think anyone at JWN is hysterical over this, but if anyone were, so what? Maybe the hostages or their families are hysterical - is this OK with you?

No one knows if this guy is connected with any group or if he is a lone wolf nutter - does this even matter? He forced two hostages to hold a black flag of jihad to a window - similar to the flag of Jabhat al Nusra. He is also apparantly armed.

However I do wonder about the fact that our PM is at about the lowest level of popularity ever and the budget was released today. Coincidence? - It probably is a coincidence. If not, what are you implying?

Also, I've read recently that the allied bombing in Syria/Iraq has caused a truce and a pact between ISIS and other extremist groups, including JN.

These savage lunatics don't distinguish between soldiers and citizens. Holding Western hostages, killing Western civilians or killing Western soldiers - it's all the same to these religious headcases.

They make the GB seem like fluffy little kittens.

The Daily Mail reports that the Black Standard pressed against the window is the Jabhat al Nusra variant. JN are the Syrian branch of Al Qaida.

This doesn't look good. I hope all those held hostage come to no harm and are freed.
