  My mother passed away this morning...

  for any old-school ex-jws here that remember my many posts about my abusive jw mother and my sister committing suicide because of it...she passed away this morning because she began to bleed out and refused a transfusion.

  she had been in the hospital for a month.

  it appears she suffered a stroke and wasn't found by the brothers & sisters for three days (they missed her at the meetings).

  there's probably a lot of people here who don't remember me.

  the short of it is i was dragged into the cult at the age of five, left at age 18 and have never looked back.. .

  there really isn't much for jw issues affecting my life, although i had to give my mother shit for trying to indoctrate my child.

  Why don't Jehovah's Witnesses Celebrate Thanksgiving?

  hi guys,.

  being a brit living abroad, i never really understood the whole thanksgiving business.. i think growing up as a jw didn't help either.

  anyway, i've rid myself of those jw shackles and have decided to take an interest into the goings on over the pond, especially as my favourite place on earth is bar harbor.

  It does not have any pagan roots - I challenge anybody to prove that it does.

  It was inspired by those heathen paganistic Pilgrams (Quackers).

  I was in 7th grade and was anticipating the Friday night basketball game that night against our most hated rival when the school's PA system came on, broadcasting a radio report. There were a lot of puzzled looks at first because that never happened before. Then it became clear what was happening. My homeroom had a TV in it (one of just a few in the building; it was the first year our school had them), and for the first time ever it got turned on and our room filled up with students to watch the coverage. Of course everyone was shocked about it and many people were crying, some uncontrollably. My most vivid memory of being in that room was when I glanced behind me and saw my homeroom teacher behind the mass of students with a big smile on her face. I had never liked her as a teacher, but after that day my respect for her as a human being went right into the toilet. Maybe she was trying to show courage and calm in front of us students, but if that's the case it went over like a lead balloon.

  The game was cancelled of course, and everyone's world shrunk around TV sets for the next few days, and that was all that was broadcast on the 3 networks. It was all so shocking and depressing, and then when Oswald was murdered by Ruby in front of millions of people (including me) a new level of shock and confusion followed. "What the hell was happening to our country?" was on everyone's mind. Nothing felt the same after that day.

  i've had it a couple of times in the hospital.

  it's amazing stuff, one second you're awake, the next second you're asleep.

  they turn it off, and you immediately wake up.

  Here's something I came across that I use to help me fall asleep - it's called "sympathetic breathing". I will use this breathing technique while laying in bed and then stop after about 15 minutes and then stop and just "let go" and not try to do anything else. Next thing I know I'm waking up in the morning. You can download the free mp3 version of it from the provided link.
