  Bethel is in grand theft auto 4

  while playing grand theft auto 4 today i discovered that in the mock new york city of the game called liberty city there is a building exactly where the watchtower would be called instead "clock tower".

  each place has a mock name i guess to avoid trouble.

  outside of the buildings are shipping carts full of boxes which i guess have magazines and books inside them.

  One week today! ......but I don't think I can make it through the rainy Saturday weekend without a drink ...I'll let you know what happens....lost 2 Kg in weight in a week, just from not boozing and eating fruit and Vegtables and fresh water...cool...if I eat healthy can I have some booze? It's funny how I try to rationalize my drinking....damn that wagon to hell!

  You sound like me. It's rainy and I will have my wine tonight. :\

  Graduating from collge next week

  by NYCkid in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just wanted share that i am graduating from columbia university next week with an undergraduate degree in sociology at the age of 39. see, it's never too late, for anyone out there considering attending college.. my partner and around 10 of my closest friends will be there to cheer me on, which is overshadowing any disappointment that my family will not be there, or as of today, yet to acknowledge this accomplishment that means so much to me (i sent grad announcements a few weeks ago along with an invite).

  in all honestly, they live across the country so it is an expensive trip.. anyway, despite the student loans, hard work and sacrifices, it has been well worth it.

  i remember back in h.s in the late 1980s, i begged my parents to let me attend college, but of course, the end was coming and it was a waste of time.

  How Were You Treated as a Jehovah's Witness if You Had Depression ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most of us who were in the jehovah's witnesses for some time realize that for years the watchtower society had always discouraged it's rank and file members from going to see therapists, or professional counselors if they had depression, or serious chemical depression.

  the watchtower society always told us to go out in service more, do more personal study, be more regular at meetings - and essentially we would lose our depression , and everything would fall right back into place.

  the old, " don't worry, be happy " cliche.

  I was told to pray more and come to the meetings in order to be uplifted. Problem was, being unbaptized and w/an ubm, I was an outcast there. So I was stuck in an emotional purgatory that fortunately resulted in no tragic situations for anyone.

  She sure is lucky to have a friend in you, regardless if she knows that yet or not. That letter was really loving and honest. She might eventually feel like crap for letting you go.

  I'm terrible at friendships!

  here is where i cry and feel pity for myself: .

  i'm terrible at keeping up with my friends.

  i don't call them often enough, or i make an effort in the beginning and then i let it slide.

  Me, too. I have a few friends who I knew since I was a child, who have remained in my life even when I distanced myself because of the cult. I'm very fortunate. They are like family now, more of a sisterhood bond. That is due to their determination to just live rather than live for religion (they have always been weary of wits).

  Now, though, due to work, school and family, I don't have much time to make myself physically present but I try. Those quality times count and strengthen our glue to each other. It helps to invite people over. They show up!

  The phone is what I have a problem with. I don't call anybody and have to force myself to live out my desires to hear their voices. Electronic communication for me is only satisfying to a point.

  Time ticks away regardless.
