  Has your brain been re-wired with the "F" word?

  by Gregor in

  i learned an interesting fact from my father's doctor when he was being treated for a stroke.

  mom had mentioned that even though dad couldn't speak well enough to ask for a glass of water he could clearly say, "goddammit".

  the dr. explained that epithets are from a different part of the brain and this area had not been affected by the stroke.. i found this very interesting.

  I hardly used the "F" like you I thought it one of the most deplorable words in the English language, or any other language for that matter.

  After my life went to hell....oh I used all kinds of other cuss words all my life much to my Mother's chagrin she reasoned that since our Dad cussed like a sailor how was she able to stop us kids but she did always correct us! So back to the story....after learning of my X's affair and the whole bamshuckled ordeal dealing with the Elders and all, I started using the F work a lot....still do, although I do speak proper out of respect of others most of the time.

  My husband even sometimes blushes when I get going and he's a big strapping construction worker! LOL I ain't ashamed of nuttin! I honestly chalk it up to holding things in so much when I was a JW that it's a release for me to just say what I darn well mean to say and some words, well sometimes you only need that one word that says it all.

  Speaking of Utah, I stopped at the Flaming Gorge Dam (it was 100+ degrees when I was there and I felt like I was on fire) and read an entry in the visitors book. It said something like, "An amazing place. What a blessing from Jehovah God." Rather an odd comment about a hydroelectric dam. After I had left it occurred to me that I should have drawn an arrow and written freeminds.org or something. But I was dehydrated and road weary so I didn't think of it in time.

  I think you should go back and fix that entry!

  Beautiful country and I really enjoyed seeing the pictures. How cool you met some peeps from the JWD too!

  Sometimes I do miss riding on the back of a Harley with the wind blowing through my, helmet, sigh.

  Hey I don't mean to sound harsh or rude I also hate two-faced people and gossip. I've learned to simply say "none of my business" and it's so freeing you don't have all that negative garbage filling up space in your head. I am truly sorry for your troubles and I hope things calm down for you soon.

  Hey sorry you are going through such a tough time divorce is no picnic!

  I hate the fact that all these JW calll me and talk sh*t about my wife (which by the way I agrre with), then when she is at the meeting, they hug and give her the "how are you holding up" line.

  Seriously it begins and ends with you, if you don't listen to it or contribute to it, it stops. Hang up the phone it's all crap and drama and who needs it?

  Good luck with the whole mess.

  i've been thinking a lot lately about how much i've changed over the last year.

  i've only been out of the borg for a year but i've changed so much.

  my father called me the other day and told me that he found out that my husband has been going on these xjw boards and wanted to know how i felt about it.

  Keep the conversation lively and away from touchy subjects. What you did here was perfect and you can do this face to face:

  He wanted to know why i didn't believe that it was the truth and surprizingly i didn't go off on a rampage but calmly told him that it was something i didn't want to discuss with him at this point. that was something i tried in the past but failed miserably. lol but i'm very proud of myself.

  You don't have to discuss things with them, period. Remember the feeling you got after you spoke to your Father how proud you were of yourself, hang onto that feeling if anything uncomfortable comes up, keep the feeling then pause, think before you speak and you'll say the right thing.

  Also set a time limit in other words don't stay too long and don't drink alcoholic beverages it loosens the tongue! LOL Be prepared, rehearse in advance anything which you can imagine coming up in conversation and how you will answer or not answer! You have a long time between now and October to prepare.

  I hope it goes well it would be a shame to miss out on seeing your nephew grow up!

  Are some of us still judgmental and think ourselves morally superior?

  is a certain "uptightness" creeping into our community?.

  should we be scolding one another?.

  especially kids?

  That's awesome! You should feel very proud of yourself for taking a stand for what you believe and not cowering or getting upset while doing it. True growth and it also has to be something your Father recognized in you as well even if he never says it to you.

  Can't you send Child Protective Services out to the house? Do whatever it takes even if it's camping out on the front lawn to help your Grandson. Call in the media, do whatever it takes to draw attention to the situation. An 8 year old is old enough to speak out if he is being harmed he will tell authorities.

  Okay my rant.....poor kid I hope you can do something Granny!

  Edited to add can you find out what congregation he's in and alert the Elders there to the situation? Maybe just maybe they will be of some help.
