I remember in '93 when my daughter passed away. I went and stayed with my sister for two weeks. To say I lost my mind is an understatement. I had two little boys to care for, and I was in no shape. When I came home after two weeks, I was told that the congregation wanted to help me. Since I ran away to deal with it, they would not help me. Not one came to my house for the week after she died. I felt like I was all alone. So I did what was best for my family. Yea, I got over it in less than a month. I did not have a strong faith. Grief is a form of selfishness. Why did it take me another 10 yrs to get out? I just don't know.

by Sirona ini feel ashamed of how i spoke to her - here is what happened:.
leading up to christmas she emphasised more than once how i shouldn't be celebrating.
she knows i'm part of a pagan religion now and she made comments about me being a "pagan celebrator" and she wasn't being nice about it.

Attempting to keep the peace at any cost. But holding it all in takes it's toll. It's good you got it out.
You are so right. About once a week my mom asks again if I can just look past the "607/1914 thing" and just accept Jehovah will fix it all in the new system. Just hold on. So we talk until 1 AM. She reads scriptures about one thing, and then I counter. Sometimes I want to shake her and say, "You just don't get it do you?" But gotta keep the peace. I am lucky, I have a sister and brother I can vent to, and they so understand.(my sis. left 16 yrs ago, and my brother 4) If it weren't for them, I think I would have popped.
Sirona, sorry you said things you wish you didn't. Or if not what, but how. Hope next time it works better for you.

My father was never a witness. He was Catholic, so was my mom. She converted when I was 14, and took all 5 of us kids with her. She is still a witness. My dad has since passed. Now we live in the same house now. Makes for interesting 1 AM talks. After I get my children in bed, once a week we have battle of the scriptures. It lasts until 1, and then we retire for the night.

our Irish mother and maternal grandmother that we both had "The Sight" when we were very little.
I remember my grandmother saying the same thing to my sister and I. Scary thing sometimes ain't it.(I know improper english)
I don't know know how old my soul is, but I know I'm tired. I don't think I can go another round. I like the thought of the dead conscience of nothing. I need some sleep.

Would you do this to your kids?
by Euphemism ina lot of cell phones now contain locator technology, either in the form of a gps transceiver, or a system based on triangulating cell towers.. some parents are using this to track their teenager's location at all times.
"before, they might not have told me the truth, but now i know they're going to," said mr. lutz, 46, a lawyer who has been particularly protective of britney and her sister, chelsea, 17, since his wife died several years ago.
"they know i care.
