would you reestablish ties with jehovah' s witnesses?.
diagnosis of a potentially fatal illness?.
death of a loved one?.
No.
I suffered a major personal setback right before I decided to start studying with the jw's. If I ever consider it again, then I will not hesitate to go seek psychiatric treatment. There is benefit to that, at least, and it doesn't suck the life out of you.
I think I'd even request shock treatment, first.
im new here.
i was raised as a jw by my mom.
my dad never accepted the religion.
Welcome!
I like your screen name.
"this is to inform the congregation that done4good is no longer one of jehovah's witnesses".
that announcement was made last thursday after i sent my d/a letter in.
they boe wasted no time.
Congrats!
They didn't waste time getting people to ignore you. Damn.
this is a fun question that i like to pose in social settings.
regardless of who your significant other is, i've found that people have a definite preference for hair color.
what i found even more interesting is that people usually preferred a hair color different than their own.
I have brown hair. Guys with dark brown hair and light eyes have always caught my eye. I find a mix of grey is sexy as hell, too.
On some men, bald!
due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?
remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.
what about the thousands that don't get caught?
From "The Courage to Heal", Part II, Spirituality, second paragraph, page 169:
"Spirituality is not an Escape"
"Certain religions and spiritual practices encourage you to avoid emotions, particularly anger. They stress forgiveness and are not likely to support you in confronting your abuser. These attitudes do not promote healing. If you are involved in a practice that denies your needs as a survivor in an active healing process, you are not helping yourself."
i am.
i think they wait way too long though for their series to come back on!
You made me laugh. I will PM you!

He DID leave it open for a movie!

Sandwiches it is, then!Are you volunteering?hmmm, well, if I can stay sober before the grill heats up, I might be of some assistance!!!

I am toasty! :)
Are you volunteering?
you find yourself with a couple of hours to yourself - what do you to relax and make yourself feel good without imbibing substances?
what does your partner like to do?.
Get a massage if possible. Facials are great, too!
At home, sitting in silence is relaxing for me (see JH's "Weird" thread), painting my nails, or taking a nice hot bath.
