Mellow Freedom
by joelbear inthose are my two words for 2006 and beyond.
mellow cause the world is what it is and i can just be thankful that i can create peace and color and wonder in my little part of it.
the goofiness of hatred and politics and greed i can't do nuthin about.

Thanks, Woodsman
But yikes, waking up to a new day and re-reading my initial post...I feel like a bit of a whiner
Thinking on it some more, it seems to me that we learn and grow so much outside of sanctuary, in ways we never could if we were always inside...yet, somehow, that makes the need or longing for an inviolable one just that much stronger. Is such a thing possible? I think so, for I have found one, deserving or not...and maybe one is all that's necessary.

well i finally did it!
by Cordelia inhere is yet another thread about me (im so sorry everyone) but hopefully this is the closing chapter, and i just wanted to let anyone thats helped me along the way to know whats happened.. i saw my dad and this time i was totally honest, he took me to some places we went as a child and said basically i have no choice but to stop seeing my boyfreind, and attend the meetings again maybe even work at mending my marriage as that is the only way i will ever be truely happy (apparently).
i said that even tho it means the past 9 months of attending and trying to get reinstated are a waste i just have to stop going to the meetings, i do not believe the society really acting on jehs behalf, (jeh would never shun me, etc) he said he cannot believe how spiritual iwas and that i am so 'apostate' now and in veiw of that he can have nothing to do with me, he cried i cried he said i am dead to him and it breaks his heart esp as he has to deal with the tumours he has found out he has,.
i feel so bad as he has tried to answer my questions and has come up with an answer on them all (except the un) and i know i am throwing contact with my family away and hurting them alot.

(((((Cordelia)))))yes, you did what you needed to do...firm but loving...now just keep moving forward, one step at a time...cherish your freedom--freedom to live, to love, to learn, to develop your own personal relationship with God, to question, to explore, to make mistakes, to correct yourself, to do what's best for your daughter...celebrate what you have gained, mourn what you have lost, do the best you can with what you've got...no one can do more than that

That's a good one! But, I must confess, the movie scene that kept springing to my mind was this one:
Quasimodo brings Esmerelda to his "SANCTUARY! SANCTUARY! SANCTUARY!"

Or, more controversial yet, a MarshaMason? For your consideration...the title of a documentary she was in: Visions of a New World...coincidence???

I appreciate your experience Outoftheorg. And isn't that just the thing with raw nerves? Especially those from childhood. Sometimes you don't even know they're there until something touches one unexpectedly. This site has triggered a lot of that for me during the past year...painful, even startling, revelations...and healing too.
My best to you!

Is it really unhealthy to wish harm...
by AuldSoul in...on a non-physical entity?
i truly want to watch the organization crumble into nothing.
it is a corporate construct.

Only if said wishing is accompanied by the blowing out of candles on a cake

Thank you, Ingenuous. You caught this one before it slipped completely away in today's avalanche of exciting and interesting threads Thank you for your encouraging words. It is difficult to walk unfamiliar paths, especially when moving from darkness to light, from injury to well-being, but, fortunately, it is not impossible
