Saw my dad last night...

by tall penguin in

a few weeks ago i had a conversation with my mother (still a jw).

she told me that one of my fave elders, who was disfellowshipped a few months before i disassociated three years ago, just got reinstated.

now, to know my mother is to know that she doesn't give you information unless she has an underlying motive.

Dealing with our parents can sometimes be a hard road to travel. Recently my mother was upset over something she perceived the wrong way, she didn't have any of the facts before she flew off the handle and got nasty. One of the things she said is that I hate her because of "the truth". That is soooo far from the truth it's not even funny. I had no words, still don't, to respond to her, and it's been over a month.

I know you know this, but the best thing you can do is continue living your life and being happy and proud of who you are.

How do you know if you're in love?

by LouBelle in

jw
friends

to be honest - i've never loved anyone - i'm talking about the romatic type here.

i have liked & been attracted to people....but love, nope.

i have no idea how to identify it.. looking at people in "so called" love today can be a bit deceptive, as what i have seen and still see to a great extent is 2 people .

I can't take credit for this, but thought it fit with this topic

Why do we close our eyes when we sleep? When we cry?
When we imagine? When we kiss?
This is because the most beautiful things in
the world are unseen.
We are all a little weird and life's a little weird
and when we find someone whose weirdness
is compatible with ours,
we join up with them and fall in
mutual weirdness and call it love.
There are things that we never want to let go of,
people we never want to leave behind,
but keep in mind that letting go isn't the end of the world,
it's the beginning of a new life.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt,
those who have searched and those who have tried.
For only they can appreciate the importance of the people
who have touched their lives.
A great love? It's when you shed tears and still
you care for him,
it's when he ignores you and still you long for him.
It's when he begins to love another and yet you still smile
and say I'm happy for you.
If love fails, set yourself free,
let your heart spread its wings and fly again.
Remember you may find love and lose it, but when love dies,
you never have to die with it.
The strongest people are not those who always win
but those who stand back up when they fall.
Somehow along the course of life,
you learn about yourself and realize
there should never be regrets,
only a lifelong appreciation of the choices you've made.
A true friend understands when you say, I forgot,
waits forever when you say, just a minute,
stays when you say leave me alone,
opens the door even before you knock and says can I come in?
Loving is not how you forget but how you forgive,
not how you listen but how you understand,
not what you see but how you feel,
and not how you let go but how you hold on.
It's more dangerous to weep inwardly rather than outwardly.
Outward tears can be wiped away while secret tears scar forever.
In love, very rarely do we win
but when love is true, even if you lose,
you still win just for having the tingle of loving someone
more than you love yourself.
There comes a time when we have to stop loving someone
not because that person has stopped loving us
but because we have found out
that they'd be happier if we let go.
It's best to wait for the one you want than settle for one that's available.
Best to wait for the one you love than one who is around.
Best to wait for the right one
because life is too short to waste on just someone.
Sometimes the one you love turns out to be the one who hurts you the most,
and sometimes the friend who takes you into his arms
and cries when you cry
turns out to be the love you never knew you wanted.
If you really love someone never let go,
don't believe that letting go means that you love best,
instead fight for your love,
that's what true love is.
Laugh to your heart's content; you cannot go
through life without it.

Tattoo

by heybaby in

so, i need some opinions.

i have been thinking about getting a tattoo.

something small and classy.

Bumble Bee

I thought about it for almost 2 years before I got mine. Love it. It's a fair size, but on my left shoulder blade, so easily hidden or exposed, depending on the top I'm wearing.

Would You Go Back?

by Dune in

jw
friends

yesterday, my aunt was talking to one of my siblings about how things have been changing in our [ex] congregation for the 'better'.. she mentioned how a new circuit overseer has come in and is shaking things up.

the co appointed a ministerial servant (someone, the po & secretary didn't like and i know would never have voluntarily suggested appointment) and some of the 'brothers' that have had no 'responsibility' ever are being given #4 talks.

she also mentioned that the book study will be cancelled and the meetings are being shortened.. a ministerial servant who had a vendetta against some of the elders wants me to talk to a co and basically tell him i left the congregation [and the religion] because of the incompetence of the elders.. i'm not talking to the co and i'm not 'blaming' anyone.

Bumble Bee

OMG NEVER. I haven't been in a KH in years, couldn't even step foot in one for my uncle's funeral. The changes that are being made by this CO will only be temporary. He's only there for a certain term (3 yrs i think) then a new one will come in with his own ideas and agenda and undo whatever good this CO has done.

Bumble Bee

Aaaww hun! Here's to a speedy recovery!

- oh you probably can't drink that right now can you? It's ok, I'll drink it for you hee hee, and then we'll have one together when you are better.

- here's a hug for you. OMG I'm soooooo sorry, didn't mean to bump your nose when I hugged you!! You ok?

- here's a flower for you. Bless you! That was some sneeze - oh, what's that, you are allergic to those?

- aaaawww are those tears of joy at seeing me? That is soooo sweet.

- here's a little gift for you. I wasn't sure what to get you, so I thought a box of tissues would be good for you. Oh, you have packing in your nose and can't blow it?

It was really nice visiting with you PDB, I hope you get better real soon! And don't cry, I'll be back to visit you tomorrow, and see how you are.

The body of elders are worthless today!

by JK666 in

back in the old days, i remember when the elders actually cared about the flock.

i was involved with helping older sisters, (octegenarians, widows) to take them to the grocery store and help them each week.. i remember helping when an older one would fall, and helping clean up the blood, and get there home in order from their return from the hospital.

just a lot of good works.. that stuff is out the window now.

Bumble Bee

JK, you have a kind heart, no matter how gruff you like to appear sometimes .

I really feel this is an area that the WT falls short in, actually "shepherding" the flock, caring for them as people, individuals. Churches have committees in place to make sure people are cared for, in whatever way is necessary, with the WT it is hit and miss, some get help, many others do not.

All the good ones are here on JWD now.
