last night the site was down.
there are times during the month when you can't log on too.
does your life dramatically change during these "down times"?
There is "much weeping and gnashing of teeth" while I "cover myself with sack cloth and ashes" and ponder how "the day of my death is better than the day of my birth" and remember that if I go to all 5 meetings, do my personal study, preach and raise my children in the "mental regulating of Jehovah (kick the shit out of them)" well then "probably I Might be saved.
As you can see I am very busy during down time

hi i just got a shih tzu puppy, has changed my life, so adorable, .
wendy
Man o Man ! Sorry the WT has your offspring, that would positively kill me. Mine were young when I bailed so I "took them with me" when I returned to my own vomit.
Anyhoo, Shih tzu-very cute-good for to cuddle! Wait! I gotta sneeze . . . Ah. . . Ah
Shih Tzu

a big story in the uk right now.. from the descriptions of the childs condition on the radio, where it was said she was in constant pain, i think it would be right to allow her to die.
she has zero chance of any kind of quality of life and prolonging this suffering is just inhuman.. if scientists were doing this to an animal, there would be complaints that it was cruel.. a sad story indeed, but sometimes the kindest thing is to let go .... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3701492.stm.
Simon,
I couldn't agree more. One must also consider her emotional pain if she lives through the cause of the physical. I work in Special Education and daily see the plight of children who cannot give or receive love and are incapable of forming friendships. That is true suffering.
the awake!
8 october 2004 has devoted a full two pages to its normal column "from our readers" exclusively for responses to the article understanding mood disorders.
the heading states:.
Thanks for the encouraging post. I have been uplifted and will now have an enjoyable bible discussion. As a matter of fact, I am no longer depressed so now I can keep my home in a manner that reflects Godly principles and will set an example to others. I can cook nutritious meals and take care to serve food at the proper time.
I can make sure that my clothing is clean and neat and mended even though it is 15-20 years out of date. My families shoes will shine after I polish them as befitting a fine Christian example of very shiny shoes. I will adorn myself tastefully and attend many hours of meetings and field service per week.
After that I will give my husband his "marital due" as often as he wants while keeping up with my literature reading. As a matter of fact, I think a Christian woman should definitely read the literature while she is "giving the marital due."
All of this is because of the spiritual food I have had shoveled into my figurative pie hole. Just knowing that God's Organization understands me and my depression and is now telling everyone that they too should understand my mental illness makes me so happy that I will continue to wait on Jehovah until I die of old age.
if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things?
.all evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years?
as a young person you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.
"I want my fig tree" HA! But I am sensing some bad attitudes and worse yet, independant thinking. I know you understand that ALL HONEST HEARTED ones blah, blah, blah. Did you ever notice that the WT is directed toward "ones" Ones what?
is that what makes you feel good about yourself?
can you take criticism without taking it personal?
O Drat, I mean to the front desk
is that what makes you feel good about yourself?
can you take criticism without taking it personal?
When I need validation, I just take the little ticket from the machine to the frontdest and poof I am validated.
boy did i mess up............ i asked someone out for saturday night..... and she said "yes".............. what do i do now?
jesus, i'd rather give a bobcat a sandpaper enema than go out.... and nearly 3 days to worry about this............what was i thinking?.

Hillbilly,
I know, you could take your date along when you give that bobcat a sandpaper enema. But then you must remove your declaration that no animals will be harmed during the production of this event
i need some advice.
i have something mentally tearing me up and i think it's been getting to me.
i have a large extended family (4 siblings) and i have been many nieces and nephews.
Why would a parent deny a child the love and companionship of family, I don't get it. I had a very cold unloving extended family as a kid. My extended family is still that way and so my kids had no one but me. That is sad. I would have been thrilled if someone wanted to be with my kids, give them love and attention. I don't understand. I would ask!!! Asking would also give you the opportunity to express your love for your nieces. Maybe your S.I.L. doesn't really understand how you feel, make sure they know how much you love the kids. Try to plan a special outing that will let them know how you feel and express yourself.
i remember standing there in the evening light of a setting texas sun in the middle of a federal prison with a chilled wind whipping up dust devils around me.
i was twenty years old and so skinny you didn't need an x-ray to see through me.
seagoville was a prison filled with lost souls, men with dumpsters for hearts and foul mouths that spat the contents of a poisoned mind into your ears.
Terry,
That was a beautifully told horrible story. I had so many delusional moments, none so poigniant as yours but many small ones. I remember summer evenings after supper. My four small children playing in their sandbox in the backyard and me watching them through the window as I did the dishes. The setting sun and my beautiful offspring being well raised in the service of Jehovah. I can still feel the peace and joy welling up in my heart. Or that is what I thought at the time.
Reality was so very different. My elder husband was cheating and soon I would be alone, devastated, poor and all but homeless and friendless, without even family to comfort me and certainly no Jehovah who I loved to the depths of my soul.
