  Damage To The Human Spirit

  by paws in

  2. friends

  hia everyone...i have only posted in response to other topics so far and thought i'd take the plunge and start my own.. over the weeks i've read so many of your heart wrenching experiences within the org which spans almost every variation of initial contact with the jw's possible imaginable and often times i have read with tears in my eyes.

  i am always sending my love and respect to everyone:.

  .... to those having successfully freed themselves....your example is a beacon of hope.

  as many of you know, i believe in remote healing and the power of prayer.

  so i am asking those of you who also believe in these things to pray for me this time.

  (lena is doing excellently well, thank you!

  i have already posted bits and bobs about my "story"... i like the companionship i have found here and i feel it about time i get this off my chest, so here it goes.

  i am a 20 year old montrealer (it is me above!

  ) who was brought up a witness from the day i was born.

  A hug for you! Such a young girl to have been treated so cruelly. You and all the young people here get my maternal feelings going, I wish I could protect you from hurt. Just know my heart goes out to you.

  2. beliefs

  a friend of mine who is disfellowshipped wonders whether it is wtbts policy to let him have the magazines still and frankly, i can't remember.

  i told him that i believe it is their policy not to let him have the mags, but i'm not actually that sure.

  any ideas you clever people?

  Talesin,

  Relax and be peaceful-it will help you heal. I recently sent a get well card to a friend that said:

  I'm not happy when you feel crappy.

  Here's another,

  Nine out of ten doctors want you to get well soon,

  the tenth one thinks you might still have some money left.

  We miss you and look forward to your return

  Are You or Were You Ever On Meds For Depression?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know so many people, not just witnesses that are on zoloft or similar drugs.

  i know of some that, once they left the "truth", stopped taking these meds and have not had to go back on them.

  i know of some that, if they did not have them, would not be able to properly function......what about you?

  Codeblue, a hug for you.

  Can you get some help from a therapist. I wish I had when the chips were down! Please don't feel alone, come commune here and maybe seek a professional.

  It really and truly does get better.

  I did not have a miracle recovery like some were lucky enough (or strong enough) to have.

  For me it was more like climbing a mountain.

  Remember, the summit is there waiting for you -and me-our job is to climb to it!

  Lehaa,

  My daughter had her's out and it was a piece of cake. DO follow the dentists orders to the letter and all will be well. My daughter did and was fine, my stepdaughter did not follow the directions and she had much pain as a result.

  Good luck and be good.

  I haven't finished reading all the posts on this yet, but personally I don't mind paying for my MP3 tunes. The songs are somebody's work and I wouldn't want any body taking my work and not paying me for it.

  you may already be familiar with it but i just stumbled across it and felt like i'd been mugged by an angel!

  it's by eva cassidy.

  she recorded this astonishing version of 'somewhere over the rainbow' before she died some years ago from skin cancer.
