  i had to deal with rejection from my mom this last week.

  her behavior was shocking to my poor hubby.

  perhaps i dreaded it all along.

  Girl I'm sorry you were yet again let down by your Mother, but remember anyone can have a child it takes a special person to actually BE a Mother! You've been lucky to have had your step Mom in your life even if it was cut short that is really something many don't have a second chance at having a Mom. Plus you've been the Mother to your children you never had and that is awesome! You are awesome!

  Some people just don't have the capacity to give or know how to be gracious. In a way I feel sorry for your Mom because she is a hurt and damaged person she lost out on a wonderful daughter too, how sad is that?! If you take away the "Mother" label she is just another person you know who lives far away......

  Admiting Mistakes/Poor Judgements?

  by choosing life in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you find it hard to admit mistakes oe even just incidents of poor judgements on your part?

  most of the time i do not have trouble, but occassionally i am more reluctant.

  what makes it so important to us, that we become stubborn and refuse to bend?.

  I wonder what it is that we are protecting? The ego? If only we could just choose to ignore the ego, merely being amused by it at times. To let down the self preservation walls and choose not to react or be affected. Then mistakes or poor judgements just are, they carry no significance to us.

  I still understand the dilemna of admitting mistakes, but I realize it is time to just let them be. What about you?

  Admitting mistakes is just part of the problem. To me the bigger half of it is how to repair the damage caused from those mistakes to yourself and others. That is the hardest part I have found, remember you are dealing with other's egos as well.

  a) the immorality of the world is the result of evolution, since individuals with an high sex drive will have more offspring.... or.

  b) the immorality of the world was introduced because adam&eve ate a forbidden fruit and obeyed an evil angel?.

  More to the point why would or should there be an unbiased opinion on morality?

  Everybodies biased. Everyones working an angle, playing a game. That's life.

  I agree with jaguarbass you will have as many opinions on morality (or any subject) as people you ask. Take away a person's opinion or choice and we might as well be wearing burkas in a third world country or worse if you can imagine that.

  insanity...good grief!!!

  ok...so i got an email from my mother...one of several i have received from her since my fathers untimely demise, and she seems to be trying to talk to me in a "mother" way....anyhow...so i missed the memorial of his death that was surrounded by over 300 people at just the first of two memorials.

  good grief!

  anyhow...this email she sent me is of the program that was used that day...page one and two were just jw infested scrips and some blips that actualy half sounded like my father could have said them.... anyhow..the whole freakin reason for this is that i have spent a long many years writing poetry and a bunch of shtuff in general and for years i never knew where i had gotten my love of the pen from and page 3 of the memorial program explained it in the flash of an instant...unfortunately it filled me with a lot of pain as well...that man could write...this is an original work written by my dad....damn him for keeping this from me.... a moment of reflection is like a blossom in the twilight of spring, or like 'an early leaf's flower but only so an hour.

  that is the sad part that just makes me mad...it is the ONLY one i have ever seen and the only one i was ever given...and it wasnt even really TO me...i just got it off of the program of his death...ridiculous...funny though...it just makes me go back into my own poetry that i have posted here on JWD....it just seems so odd....it almost could have been ME writing it...sigh..anyhow...

  It's a good thing to know about your Dad and something you have a chance to change in your family legacy. I hope you have a son some day you can share this with, cool beans!

  Swiffers Do you use one?

  by Lady Lee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have one and use it for both wet and dry.

  it gets pricey since you have to keep buying the cloths.. a couple of weeks ago i was in sears and they were having a demonstration of a swiffer type mop but you didn't have to throw awy the cloths.

  simply remove from the cloth and throw it in the washer.

  So I got thinking

  What if I bought the microfiber cloths and used that on my Swiffer handle.

  You know what - it works.

  No more cloths to throw out. And the microfiber clothes are easily bought at dollar stores

  I now have a micro-swiffer

  Been doing that for years!

  Another think you can do is use a washcloth most are the right size and a nice nubby terry washcloth which can be used over and over again does a great job. I get mine wet ring it lightly and spray it with an all purpose cleaner and clean my floors, ceilings, walls or dog....well okay not the dog.

  There is a person on e-Bay who sells homemade washable cloths for swiffers. I haven't bought any yet because I keep thinking I could make them myself for much less but can never find the time. It's a great idea though.

  What affected you more, growing up in the cult, or a dysfunctional family?

  by Bumble Bee in

  2. experiences

  i think for me, it was the dysfunctional family.

  things from my childhood are finally getting to me.

  i've tried for so long to just push them to the back of my mind.

  Weird but as I reflect back I have come to the conclusion my growing up in a dysfunctional family helped me from being a die hard JW and therefore it was easier for me to leave the B'org.

  I didn't like being in either. I remember the first time I heard that self help guru of the 80's John Bradshaw speak and say something like; "as children in a dysfunctional family we didn't have the choice to tell our parents we would rather move down the street to the Jones house, they seem more normal." Wow that really connected with me I was always looking for normal, sigh. I've since learned NORMAL is a setting on a dryer.
