Nope. No crazies in our neighborhood. Some "odd", but very nice people who would give the shirt off their back for you.
That's good Buttlight that you're keeping your cool. You have to play it right w/those sort.

i've never really mentioned my real dad or our relationship but since we've just passed fathers day i thought i would.. the man mum lives with now is my stepdad who i've never seen eye to eye with until these recent months and despite the pain he caused me in the past i feel that i should look out for him now (he's quite a bit older than my mum, in his mid 50's now...not necessarily old but he had a stroke and his mental state isnt what i would describe as normal).
with him i've been on an emotional journey because i can finally move on from the problems he caused and even use my experiences for the better.
megan has played her part in this of course in more ways than one, her stepdad died recently and she didnt have the chance to forgive the things he did properly and it hurts her, i dont want that.
Thank you Mr. Hyde for those words. I just couldn't bring myself to saying that to Karl.... but I agree w/you.
Close the door on the "sperm shooter"....... any idiot can make a baby. It takes a good person to be a real Dad worthy of respect and love. From what you've said, don't waste your emotional energy waiting for him to change or "understand". People for the most part are what they are --- and it doesn't sound like he has changed one iota. He DOES NOT/WILL NOT own up to the abuse he caused you or mom. That's the first step to change.
He has to figure it out himself. Life is too short to invest your time and emotional energies into whipping a dead horse so to speak. Direct your energies and love to those who care about you and your new family.

Thanks Karl for sharing about your biological father. And your step father.
I want to give you a big cyber hug for standing up and being a good human being despite a wicked childhod and who has made the CHOICE to not be like your dad.
You amaze me! For such a young man you have more sense than some older people.
Little Noah is blessed to have a loving Dad like you. This time next year on Father's Day just think of all the good things you will share about your little guy....
Peace to you and Megan. We all await little Noah's arrival patiently. When is his ETA again?
Love, Juni

Thanks Matt! for the picture........
I can relate to your feelings about the she-bear. That story scared the bejesus out of my kids and made me have serious doubts about this "loving" god Jehovah. Why I didn't grab their little hands and leave that religion a long time ago ...........
i just want to make sure i won't be all alone.. anyone?.
Just want to say "hi" to a very kind and common-sense guy. I miss you at Gabbly......
I wish you the best Commander Lore!
Peace, Juni

What is a "wicker" ninja? Yes. Can you get it on YouTube?
I do a mean "Like a Virgin".

i've been thinking about contacting the jw boy i was involved with 22 years ago.
i don't know why exactly, except that i need some explanations from him, meaning, why did he behave the way he did after our separate jcs.
i guess i need closure.
Welcome Atpeaceatlast. I like your alias. Very nice.
I don't know. You could be opening a whole can of worms so to speak because I'm sure you're not going to get the closure you're looking for. He's a JW and you are out. Right there in his mind he's "better" than you cause he's "in" with God and you're not. After 22 years, he, I'm sure, thinks of himself as right up there.
A former elder was getting "too friendly" let me leave it at that w/me and 9 other sisters. This happened back in the 1980's. I remember it like yesterday. I left the org. in ' 91. After a lot of years went by I really felt the need to write him a letter and wanted a reply back. I wrote 2 letters that went unanswered.
Since then I've heard that he sits at the back of the Hall looking pretty lonely.
I believe in karma. That's just me though. I wish you the best.

they insisted i come over for a debate, a chance for them to save me since according to my mother this was "a matter of life and death.
" basically i spent the whole evening passively nodding my head and acknowledging what they said.
i tried a few times to argue or debate but getting through to them was impossible.
That will be interesting to see what they say. I also took that crappy badge off. Actually I didn't wear it much cause I didn't want my kids when they sat on my lap to get jabbed w/the pin.
talk about my own crisis of conscience!!.
im a republican, and have always voted for republican candidates for president, this upcoming election leaves me very little choice.
this may be the first presidential election since 1996 that i wont vote, nor can i even get excited over.. .
no party simply looks for the best solution and goes with that.. they're all too damn busy satisfying the interest groups that gives the the loot.
AMEN!!

Hi CodeBlue!
Yeppers. No tees or jeans. You wear your goin' to meetin' clothes. AND you are supposed to keep your badge on at all times. Don't know about the pool though. Perhaps pin the badge on your swim suit? I don't know......
How can they TELL people to do this? Cause they TELL you everything else to do, think, say, eat, how much tp to use, what is appropriate in the bedroom, etc. ad nauseam.
BUT, I believe that quite a few will do what they want.......
Edited to say CodeBlue - They would like for you NOT to think for yourself. It's a threat to them. Know of any other religion who would DF a member for asking questions about their faith?? NONE THAT I CAN THINK OF.......maybe some radical group......
