  ok, i will be the first to make a fool of myself........ i am naive in many matters , i will admit that, i am also gullable.

  Twisted Life

  i just thought that i would share my life as a jw.

  i was born into this cult in 1973. i was born as a hermaphodite (both sexes) this was of great shock to my parents, apparently the confided in one of the elders asking him what thay should do?

  his respones was that i should be made male (the doctors at the time said i should be female) my parent took the avice of the elder and i was the made to be a male.. as i was growing up i beged my parents to allow me to be the person that god had wanted me to be but the elders kept reasuring me and my parent that god wanted me to be a male so that i could one day be a elder or s/overser.. in my teen years it became very apparent that my parents had made a mistake as i would act in a very female way.

  (((((((( mystery girl)))))))) poor you I'm so disgusted that your parents would choose to listen to the elders advice over the reccomendations of a doctor?? and who the hell do these self-appointed medical consultants think they are-they literally played god with your life .I'm so sorry you've had to go through all this.It beggars belief .Their comments about your life being easier if you were male are disgusting and show them up the inequality that exists within the org.I hope you're got some support in your life, do you have a councellor to talk over things occasionally? Please dont worry about the education/spelling aspect of your life..you can go to classes when you feel able to, (((((everything will fall into place slowly))))))))

  hope to see alot more of you xxxxxxx

  Erosian from de-forestisation is a major cause of damage to top soil and the resulting flooding damages crops too.

  If we fed ourselves a vegetarian diet we'd save a lot of natural rescources as we need so

  much more arable land to support animals than arable crops.Organic farming is an ffective,

  sustainable method of crop cultivation.Top soil is precious and should be conserved and fed,

  I hate seeing thousands of acres of mass produced crops saturated in chemicals-If its not organic it dos'nt pass my lips.

  If farming methods were re-thought we'd be ok.We can easily feed the world- but the greed of the western world that wants

  to eat out of season food is creating an imbalance that has terrible repercussions for the rest of the population.

  I think greed is the problem-and we in the west eat far too much .

  Please Say Something Nice to NIKITA!

  i received this e-mail from my sister (known here as 'nikita') on february 12th:

  hi guys, just to fyi we had a fire that started in our dryer on tuesday night-fortunately, i was home (with ann's baby) and caught it at the early stages and was able to call the fire dept (another fortunate thing was our firemen just happened to be having a meeting and responded before the whistle sounded from the 911 center.

  ) but, even so, by the time they got here it was only minutes away from blowing as at the top of our basement stairs the temp.

  (((((((Nikita), and family and cats and dogs....)))))))) at least you're all safe.

  I hope it dos'nt take too long for the insurance to sort everything out-you should be able to book yourself in to a nice hotel ( maybe a 5 * with jacuzzi and pool and room service...) or rented house, if being with the in-laws is a problem; with the insurers permission- check your policy...they should pay for boarding for the cats too.((((Hope you're not too shocked.))))

  Would You Stick Up For A Friend If They Were Being Dealt With Unjustly?

  by minimus in

  i knew many people in the congregation that were dealt with terribly.

  but most times, people were afraid to talk to the elders or were afraid they might get shunned by the more prominent ones in the congregation.

  so they closed their eyes to their own friends being treated poorly and carried on as if nothing really was happening.

  For all those who have started or answered abuse threads lately.. :)

  by reboot in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  there seem to have been a lot of threads lately on the subject of parental abuse and quite a few of us are still finding this really hard to cope with.

  i've been reading them and not getting uset as i would have done a while ago and was wondering why.i think i've finally worked it out and was just wondering if what i did could help you in the way it helped me.

  i had a physically and emotionally abusive home life until i left home at eighteen.i spend years alternatively trying to come to terms with it and blocking it all out.

  (((Dede)))) you're right, everything we've suffered has made us who we are, I mean, look at all of us here...most of us have been through alot and come out fighting, we're a pretty formidable bunch, ar'nt we? I've read all your posts through the years and all you've been through has come out as love for others.I sometimes I feel like i'm going under- but I think you're right that a difficult upbringing does make you very determined and, when you compare things that happen now to the worst times in your life, you know in reality you won't crumble easily.Thanks for the hugs,i'll collect them in person one dayi've always been very tactile to people I consider safe-there's an advert for fests the atmosphere at fests; I get hug therapy !

  (((sirona))) to have to go through so much that you wanted to hurt him when you were angry and older is probably a natural reaction considering all he must have done to make you that cross.I used to fight back sometimes from a young age-but as I got older it changed.... watching him loose it with me and remaining impassive meant more injuries-but a strong sense of warped satisfaction for me. So, the way I deal with anger is to switch off from people who hurt me..It dos'nt mean I won't let them back in , in fact i'll forgive most people practically anything; alot of people I know who've been through these kind of experiences are really forgiving.Perhaps we were told we were unlovable and feel useless and we want to prove we're worth something I think people go one of two ways when they go through tough times-I just really want to look after people, my anger's just not welcome,it makes me feel bad, and after everything thats happened I just want to be happy.

  (((Ross)))

  (((Gespro))) thanks for the links; i'm going to look at them now,I still look for books to read,it sometimes takes time to find an author you're comfortble with i'm glad you have and i'm really pleased your wife took the time to help you.Hope you're doing well.

  (((Galaxy 7, you sound so sad ))) but positive about the future, which is a great start.Perhaps a look at Gespros links would set you on your way...

  (((Ang)))

  (((SunshineToo))) It's ok! im fine,I'm sorry if i've brought anyone down, just thought that sometimes we feel frightened of challenging our parents etc about their behaviour because of who they are;but in reality we hold the power.thankyou.
