It reminds me of someone i knew not that long ago, in fact a very similar if not as famous case. Party girl who dressed to the nines and wore it well, loved the attention of the men with money, bought into the lifestyle she saw on tv, had abusive relationships, a son she couldn't care for and liked to drink but didn't do drugs. We were "drinkin buddies" for lack of a better term and spent many nights shutting the bars down. I watched the parade of guys come and go, saw how she used and got used and was the "freak of the week" on many occasions. The gossip was nasty and I can't say she didn't bring it on herself. Everyone makes choices at some point. But we don't choose our parents or the mindset with which we are raised, do we? And it seems to me that biology and chemistry have their part to play in the lives we lead, sometimes beyond what we can handle by ourselves.

We were friends. I was there for her to talk to when she needed to. I didn't take it any further than that as i had learned my lesson on not getting too close to her type from previous situations. What some might call boundaries. Everyone needs somebody to talk to; who knows when a kind word might make a difference? Nothing i did or said was for selfish reasons; it was done for the sake of her son who didn't really have a mother. These things have a ripple effect and who's to say what will become of him and the part he will play in this world.

I haven't seen her for a couple years. She could be dead for all i know.

Say what you will. All life is precious and should be respected. I remember a certain parable about a Samaritan of strong character,...

Was It Easy For You To Leave "The Truth"?

by minimus in

was your life totally disrupted?

did you lose a lot of family and friends?

Twitch

Easy? Yes and no.

It was easy in that i knew it wasn't for me. Hard in that it took time to untie the knots in my head and recreate myself.

Did I lose family and friends? Yes and no

I still talk with the parental units and we maintain a relationship, albeit a strained one at times. No other family to speak of. As for the friends from then, they were left behind with the former life. Made new ones.

17 Year Olds

by lonelysheep in

you 'kids' are strong, strong people.

i'm not just referring to those of you who are 17 now, but those who left or simply woke up from the wt garbage at such a young age and are now adults.. from what i've seen here over the last 2+ years, it seems to me like jw's treat their children like they are foster kids.

some foster kids (& some adopted kids) i knew throughout school were kicked out or left home around the ages of 16-17, and were put into independent living programs by the age of 18. their parents wanted nothing to do with them afterwards.

:-) Yea, left at that age, although the seeds of my discontent were sown much earlier. Turned 18, moved out and never went back. To those about to leave (at any age), I salute you,...

subject wife 1.0. dear tech support: last year i upgraged from girlfriend 7.0 to wife 1.0. i soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources.

in addition wife, 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity.

applications such as poker night 10.3, football 5.0, hunting and fishing 7.5, and golfing 3.6.. i can't seem to keep wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications.

Twitch

Is there a demo version?
