does anyone have any suggetions for me?
thanks beth
Go slow and desensitize yourself.
A movie that once scared me to death is Polterguiest.
Everytime it came on TV, I would watch a few minutes of it at a time. . . and nothing happened!
You slowly build on the idea that nothing happens and poof your not scared any more.

quite taken by this guys writing and agree with pretty much he has to say.
I think you have lost your mind.
Would it occur to you that their might be some middle ground.]
Women have a right to choose whether they want a home and/or family to be their main focus.
Also the "consecrated" status of woman is manspeak for barefoot and pregnant.
i'd have to say for me that it was ayn rand's the fountainhead.
even though i don't agree with a lot of her philosophy, it definitely made me stumble around in a thought-induced haze for a few weeks after reading it.

I printed out everybody's favorites for next time I hit the bookstore!! Thanks all
i'm looking through the new awake magazine (great article on shoplifiting by the way) and this older sister comes and sits beside me.
she started talking to me about this great little piece in the magazine about fish or something that should be on my dinner plate, something that i don't really care about, then she turns to me and said and i quote " where else but jehovah's organization can we learn such things?
i sat there with a dumbfounded look on my face thinking " are you kidding me?
JV,
feel free to blow off some steam!
Where else but in Jehovah's Organization can we learn so much? How about 4th grade!
ugh.
it seems that the jw, along w/ other stuff, has led me to a solitary position in life ... how about you ... is that why you are here?
tonite?
Yup Tale, me too. I have a spouse and he is superb but he cannot be my all and my everything-not fair to him! I miss having friends. I became so suspicious and distrustful after the JWs. I am thinking seriously of therapy.
i just want to say a big thanks to everyone here at jwd.
ive been posting for a few months now and i cannot express how much being here and reading everyones experiences has helped me.
its wonderful not to be alone anymore.
any old time lilbit!!!!! we all feel the same way.
very worried at the total waste of time i see you all pursueing with aimless nonsense when one of the most inportant times in mankinds history, is taking place & the real truth is becoming available.
Instead of wasting your time monitoring our time wasting perhaps you could be working on your spelling.
culturally, i wonder how spanking plays out.. canada.
mexico.
uk.
Englishman,
Very Funny.
Hmmm, I wonder how come the Scandinavians don't spare the rod like the Bible says. Could it be they have found a better way? Hmmm, I wonder if anyone looks at a thing like that and asks themselves if their are any other faulty guidelines in the Bible and therefore with the JW's. . . . Nah!
actually she was my stepgrandma.
she was 86 years old and in a nursing home in florida.
she was a jw and had been active up until the last few years of her alzheimers disease.
Dave,
I am sorry. Perhaps you could just go visit your Grampa when you can. There will be so much commotion during the memorial that you wouldn't get any quality time with him anyway.
As for the JW gossip mongers, they will talk if you go or talk if you don't, so just take care of you and your Gramps.
is there anyone out there that is real good with history that could give me a timeline for the past say 3000?
years that would list all the horrific things that were happening around a certain time period?
im trying to show my wife that things are not that bad right now as the wts would like her to think.
Well,
Stories like that are certainly not limited to Scotland are they? History is replete with brutality from all over the world.
