  solstice, meaning "sun standing still".

  now the sun will begin it's ascent from it's southern-most journey (tropic of capricorn 23.5 degrees south) to the north.

  persephone has gone back to the underworld to spend 3 months with her captor hades.

  what was the silliest thing taken away from you as a child because of its supposed evil influence?

  i remember when i was about 5 or 6 years old, my mum gave me a copy of the 1812 overture.

  i remember it as a real cool gift at the time.

  i am really tired of waiting for the other side of armageddon to feel better.

  i have'nt felt very well for years, with fibromyalgia and depression and other things.

  my friend who is a baptised jw tells me the only way we will ever feel any better is to wait for the other side of armageddon.

  Not in the truth, but haunted by it...

  by confuzzed in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am having trouble dealing with this little voice in the back of my head telling me that if i don't go back to meetings i won't go to the new system and everything i am doing is wrong blah blah blah.

  although i have agreed to a study i believe it is more to shut up this little voice rather than because i want to be a witness again.

  but if i don't go back i have to deal with this horrible feeling all the time.

  What? He's not in the truth???!!!!

  by gerbils in

  2 1/2 years ago i met my non-jw boyfriend, and i received a shepherding call from two lovely elders who told me that i was mixing good with evil, and didn't i know the man i loved was going to die at armaggedon?

  they left me in tears...not as though i left my boyfriend of course.

  i've made sure that things like that don't get to me anymore.

  Corporal punishment

  by JustTickledPink in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my opinion is that jw's are into corporal punishment more than the general population.

  maybe it's my imagination, maybe not.. do you remember being told "not to spare the rod" in disciplining children?

  do you remember being that kid that got beat?.
