  Well, I had 'the talk'....

  i've been wondering how to approach my family w/ my true feelings re: the jw's.

  conveniently, my mother gave me an opening last night and i went for it.

  i spent nearly four hours 'getting through' to her and was blown away, b/c she actually agreed w/ me.

  Encouragement to get back to the meetings

  by cyber-sista in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i keep getting these forwards from certain ones who i knew in the org.

  they know i have left because i was "discouraged".

  they are keeping their distance by not writing to me anything personal, but keep sending these "encouraging" forwards in hopes that i'll be re-awakened, dust off the book bag and head on back to the old kh.

  HELP! Urgent advice needed - Child Custody - JW Mother

  by catlady in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my partner ('beaker' on jwd) & i are having rapidly escalating child custody issues.

  (see previous thread http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/71815/1.ashx) tonight when the kids (7 & 9 yrs) were dropped back to their mother's she announced that his access was going to be further reduced as of now.. she is very nasty anyway, constantly regeging on previous arrangements & given the borg stuff is also thrown in the mix my partner is going to try for full custody.

  the solicitor (who has worked on previous jw cases) we have consulted with does not think we can bring the jw stuff up with a judge.

  Cat,

  I've been where your partner is, and I know it's tough. Buy honestly, if he hasn't done anything which the court may see as negative toward the children, I wouldn't worry. Even the basic guidlines should give him every other weekend and wednesday evenings along with half all holidays. If you live close, 50/50 in some matter is what the judge would want for the children, unless she starts making horrible claims about him.

  I was kidnapped at age two by my father and didn't find my mother until I was in my 30s. No matter what my father thought about his wife... I needed my mother. And really, as long as the children are not being abused, they need both their mother and father. The witness brainwashing may be considered as abuse, but to my knowledge, there is no way to use this in court.

  Take a breath,

  Bryan

  Suicidal Thoughts

  by Obviously Secret in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sorry to put such a crappy subject on here but today and like this whole week has been pretty bad.. right when i went to the 5th grade i started getting i was already in the suicidal mood of things and always thought about killing myself or killing a whole bunch of other people.

  all during elementary school kids picked on me since i had a habbit of crawling into corners and crying or just sitting and rocking in those corners.

  i couldn't talk to anybody, i stuttered and i threw up every time a person talks to me for too long that pushed away alot of people they always talked about me throwing up all the time and everything.

  (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Secret)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

  I am so sorry.

  Your post brought up so many memories. Teasings; kids calling me "Jovah". Refusing to defend myself when kids would salp me in the back of the head; I was their easy target. I used to plant staples of my teachers staplers into my arm when they where gone. The other kids thought it was cool so I felt accepted.

  Though I never thought of killing myself at your age, though in my 20s I did come very close to ending it more than once.

  Please realize you can get better and you will feel purpose in your life. I know that's tough to hear while you are in your "dark room", but you can feel good. The pain can stop. There is help out there for you. If your parents are against you getting therapy, talk to your school councelor or someone there. Prozac works for me. Please don't keep all this inside yourself.

  It looks like your pretty young, but if can get around and your in the Dallas area, pm me and you can get together. My wife and I would love to meet you.

  My wife (Aimee) and I have been together for 8 years married 6. We have never had an argument. We hold hand at all oportunities, and constantly say "I love you." Why?

  1. We trust each other.

  2. We give each other her/his own space. We are married as one, though we still have seperate goals.

  3. We respect each other's feelings.

  4. We don't get upset about the little things.

  5. When a problem or strong difference arises, we put it on the table and discuss it. We don't let it fester. WE TALK ABOUT IT. We don't thow emotions around the room.

  6. We make love often so we have no need for "make-up-sex".

  7. Because we are both secure and trust each other, we are not jealous. Jealousy is a relationship killer.

  8. We both look out for the needs of the other. This way, most of the time, all needs of the family are covered.

  9. When making decissions involving more than just "me" or "you", we try to decide what's best for the FAMILY.

  10. We give each other breaks from each other.

  Our friends in Houston who know us well say we have the relationship everyone else wishes they had. We are soul mates. We are in love.

  I do what she says!
