  Lies on Line...I always thought JWD was a forum for Honesty

  by restrangled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after finding this forum and being raised in the jw religion, i found jwd a refreshing place for honest feelings, fears, life experiences etc.. the history of the jw's was exposed, and those who lived any experience under this regime has been told by many members.. to be lied to by any forum member is insulting.

  i have over my past year and 1/2 come to love many posters.

  i realize many more have much longer time put in here.. i have been honest and exposed more of my self than i care to think about, but always kept in mind that others were doing the same and it was best for anyone new.. to lie on this forum to all of these members is horrible and i am questioning why i am so honest here.

  i only checked in here briefley yesterday and missed dawg's "good-by" thread.

  i posted there just now, but don't know if he is checking in any longer.. many of you realize he and i have had our differences.

  in fact, is was after a "cyber-fight" with me that he left the last time.. when he returned, he pm'd me several times just making nice, brief little comments on things i'd post.

  Sooooo

  I know changeling went off for the weekend.....

  Seems to me that she expressed an opinion, a simple opinion and in turn "others" are calling her out for it.

  So.......................

  then the "others" are now upset because they are being called out for expressing their opinion................

  Well mine got sent out yesterday.

  And I really tried to pick out something that they'll like. I had the shop send it for me, as their packaging was likely going to be way more well thought than mine.

  I'm excited, crossing my fingers that they will enjoy their MI treasures.

  Changeling:

  Dawg and I recently exchanged a few pm's and he was really great. It made me think about looking back at his old posts and ya know, I gotta say I think you're right.

  It seems like he had taken some time off to think and figure some stuff out and he has had a mellower tone, I've really enjoyed his thoughts and hope he returns soons, because it takes all kinds to make a good discussion board.

  <<come back Dawg>>

  to the JWD person who sends erynw hatemail

  by eclipse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as much as i hate to make a new topic for a low-life like you - you need to read this.. there are people in this world who are born to hate and to suck the life from others.. those people are the blood-sucking parasites that thrive on hurting, and abusing others.. those people are rapists, pedophiles and sadistic sociopaths without any moral fiber or conscience.. you are among that classification of sub-human vermin devoid of empathy love or compassion.. you can quit telling eryn to die already.

  you can quit telling her that she can shoot herself in the head just because you are a friendless person without anyone to love them.. you are pathetic.

  people like you disgust me.

  SIGH... Mother troubles again...

  by Elyse867 in

  2. friends

  so i opened up my laptop last night, to check my email and such, and my mom had obviously just checked hers... she was still logged on, which has never happened before.

  i felt like i needed to look in her emails, which is not something i would normally do, as i hold privacy as something sacred.

  as some of you know, my mom lives with my hubby, me, and my kids.

  Keep in mind, she's venting to a friend. She probably has good days and bad days and it's possible she may even feel like she needs to justify to this elder boyfriend why she's staying with you.

  I have done the sneaking into other people's writings in the past (my mil lived with us for several years and was abusing valiums) and ya know the one thing I learned is this, sometimes we write to just get something out. We vent, we bitch, we whine and moan. And then we feel better and we move on.

  That being said, I am not a fan of parents living with their childen. I know, I know there is this huge thing about how adult children should take care of their elderly parents. This can be done without the parent living with the child and his/her family.

  My MIL now lives in a nice apt. It's part of the housing through the state. How much she pays is based on how much (or little) she receives and is determined at the outset. More than likely the state where you live has a subsidized housing. Also, if you have siblings of any age, it's important that they understand that her care is not your sole responsibility.

  good luck
