  hey sugar...i hope you are alright...you know that we're around for you...especially when you are having a hard time.

  the things is when you find yourself wishing for what one might call a normal family, you've got to make your own, otherwise you will feel unloved.

  now, we aren't exactly normal *lol*, but we love you and i don't think anyone wants to see you feeling so bad.

  Do you love to dance?

  by Maverick in

  i love weddings cause, "love is in the air", and you can ask any woman to dance and not get shut down.

  when i went to vegas and we hit all the night clubs you could see all the couples sitting there around the dance floor, the women bobbing up and down off their seats and their guys sunk down with their butts glued to the chair.

  even though i am not the best dancer, being one of those men willing to "shake that thing" i had a great time.

  I love to dance, just dance to any kind of music.I'm not good but I'm willing to learn.I really like line dancing and "Cha-Cha Slide" is still a favorite.

  My daughter goes to a great place like mentioned earlier, where everyone goes to have a great time and she never has problems with people trying to pick her up. Just go to dance and enjoy, it is country which is our favorite.We dance at home a lot. the grand-baby loves it. and it's good excercise...

  I have not been df'd but my soon to be ex- is really searching for info so I will be..He's not going to find anything..But unlike what your going through my children,are out now too,one is df'd,we are so much happier now and secure in our choice.

  So that being said I cannot relate to you on that so much as I can with depression and isolation...with these I relate all too well! I read your thread earlier and was un-prepared to offer support.

  Having spent some time thinking about what has helped me...The journal is an excellent idea! A friend I have made here at jwd has taught me the importance of writing things...a lot of thoughts down...Saying to me you'll learn from your-self...You will.I have....But notice I have not just a friend,that is helping me. but several friends that encourage me and help me. You will not need try it alone. And remember folks that are willing to help,and we allow them too help us,well that in turn makes them feel good about themselves and builds on strong friendships. Trust your-self you'll know how much and what to reveal to people. Be open to new advice. Perhaps different from what has/hasn't helped in the past.

  For me there is nothing like being out-doors,in the sun,rain, under the sky,in the woods, by the water....lol. Be quiet and listen. Take your journal with you to write down those thoughts.

  Heres hoping you feel better soon....BEM

  XW look at it this way when they start driving they are usally really excited about going to the market for us,runnig errands etc. try taking advantage of that for awhile,

  Yes they do grow up too fast. Reminds me to hug them while we can.Even now that they're grown.

  "A Year By The Sea" Thoughts of an unfinished woman Author- Joan Anderson

  A bit from the back page: Life is a work in progress,as ever-changing as a sandy shoreline along the beach.. During the years Joan Anderson was a loving wife and supportive mother, she had slowly and uncosciosly replaced her own dreams with the needs of her family.....like many women in her situation,Joan realized she had neglected to nurture herself......

  This year of self - discovery brought about extraordinary changes in the author's life. Helping women learn to reveal and release untapped resources within themselves.

  My picketing adventures

  by Junction-Guy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well some of you here have already read about them at another board, but for you others i thought i would give you a little update on what i have been doing.

  the last 2 weekends i have started picketing 2 different kingdom halls here locally, this is the first time that i have ever done this, but i figure with all the years of penned up frustrations, that this was something i need to do.. i have really enjoyed doing this and the amount of support i have received from the public is phenomenal.

  i have a sign given to me by undaunted danny that says "jehovah witness destructive cult, thousands of dead kids from their bogus medical dogma" and at the bottom of the sign there are 2 bumperstickers that say "stop wathctower abuse" and also the web addresses to freeminds and silentlambs.

  Can they be excused, in all honesty????

  by BLISSISIGNORANCE in

  2. beliefs

  over the period of time i have been posting on this forum i have noticed how differently we feel about the borg and dubs.

  i guess our point of view is based on our own particular situation and experiences, our upbringing, our culture, our gender, our relationships etc.

  but i think i can safely say that we all agree on one point, that the borg is a corrupt, greedy, hypocritical, dishonest, controlling, unloving, brain-washing cult!

  Avengers, I personally have not, and would not "wash my hands" of my children. That being partly what caused me to re-evaluate my position in the wts.

  My oldest son was df'd when I was told that I needed to be Stronger....and I was spiritually weak...because I could not shun him turn my back on him....

  I will never forget the look of pain in his eyes and on his face,when he asked if that meant we (his dad and I sis.and brother) would no longer be having anything to do with him.

  The impact of that moment froze my heart. to think I might never be able to speak to him again....No way. I could not shun him and go talk to,A drug dealer (a study) but still not talk to my son...Scuse me.you want me to do what!!! shun my boy won't happen...althogh on the other hand his dad said if I was harder on the boy. He would come back...Glad I made the correct choices.

  Dorothy.
