  scarce in my youth had feet touched on earth,.

  intent, so i was, to vanquish all that held me.

  painfully fast to misery in flesh and a sorrow.

  WOW --- doof, that's great! Would love to read. You're already an accomplished writer being published/congratulations!

  It's difficult to stay focused and work is work. Try the 5 - 10 min. a day shrink trick and see if that works. My girlfriend finally completed her children's book w/this trick-e-poo and it ended up being in the top 3 ratings for books in that category and the woman who solo'd around the world in her airplane endorsed it, bla bla. The shrink's trick (off your butt rebuttal) trick is just take few min. starting tomorrow (not down the road when you have tons of time BUT don't overwhelm yourself here) only 5 - 15 min. to start and sit and think about writing or scribble something down then make a commitment the following day to not do more than this first day (this is crucial) but alittle bit less time maybe --- then 3rd day maybe the minimum again unless you just can't stop what you're doing. Do this until you get the synaps chargin. I've been trying this w/my painting and (well, let's just say I need to start over week to week). Otherwise we don't set aside the time and time is such a thief and it's always tomorrow. Story of my life but I'm working on this - OMG!

  Your children/grandchildren are fortunate to have/learn from your experience as well as who knows how many other innocent, potential, victims out there.

  Babayaga --- You are quite the hostess.

  You gifted, talented, writers here could type the remainder of your life just off the true, survival, experiences on this board. I can imagine children's books about the bear/moonbeams and Coco's poems --- w/cathartic writings for hope/healing. I'll be your agent.

  doofdaddy -- hope you find and let us know. You might have to rewrite the poem and create into a story now that there's a demand!

  mrs.jones -- yes the book needs a home.

  doofdaddy -- love your post about the lonely bear and moonbeams poem. Happiest day in my life when I caught a moonbeam and escaped to start my own life. Love the moonbeam theme -- and your poem, Coco. Keep writing!

  Many moonbeams to all as we live our dreams/passions.

  Well, thank you CoCo of Planet Red//ooops of Red Planet. Perspective is everything --- you get an A+ and your poetry/writing (gift) used to heal/conquer abuse is inspiring and it's your way out. Wish I had that gift -- I shop - LOL! Seriously, if facing reality would have only been that much FUN! Pain, suffering does miraculous things (seems endless) on the soul and really changes our heart's desires.

  Miracles from Mars --- the world needs them!

  I love this --- like you're on Mars w/an objective view of your childhood reality, maybe. Like scar tissue we can never forget but the acquired feeling of indifference is so soothing.

  You're gift of writing could really help other victims of abuse.

  folks here all have one thing in common: they are somehow associated with jws, either were one, are married to one, have a relative who is one, has a romantic interest in one, are are currently one.

  perhaps you are not one, but something about jws bugs you enough to have found this forum, and read it and contribute to it.

  what brought you here?

  I was searching for info re witnesses before H20 (mid 90s -- I was so miserable (the few times I attended) and couldn't connect the dots because I didn't want to die (brainwashing/the big end coming next week) and was dying having anything to do w/it. I questioned so many things and just couldn't mold. I did find some board but they knew nothing about witnesses and one fine day found H20 -- what a happy day! I'd read posts by Farkel/A. F., Jan, Randy and others and felt so much better. It helped so much to know there were others out there who had problems w/the cult. I immediately ran to the garage cabinets and started throwing out all the books, etc., and I'd collected everything I could get my hands on in a couple of yrs. I saved the couple of NWT's w/underlining/notes and the dogs ripped them to shreds when they were brought into house and left anywhere they could get their mugs/teeth on. I have one I tucked away w/the "Reasoning from the Scriptures" but thought it wouldn't hurt me to save one.

  Too bad the internet wasn't around many yrs. earlier but what a gift to mankind! I've told a couple of clergy class inside the internet is God's gift to mankind but they probably don't get it.

  hello everyone.... i would honestly like to share why i come to this site when i am able to.. i too, like many here spent my whole life inside the wt along with my husband who was born in.

  (i was 6) we have raised three wonderful sons now 27, 23, 21 who the youngest was almost 7 when we left and we were disfellowshipped.

  (for so-called apostacy of course)and since then all of us partake of the christ by eating and drinking the manna and his blood.

  Elderelite --- great point but did he have the profound wisdom of Christ that you were quoting to the xtian(s) (few days ago on one of the arguments on another topic) about love doesn't return evil, etc. He probably had same but don't know for sure. Loving others goes back to B.C. as I recall.

  Followers of Mohammad have slim pickins for leaders/saviors, right.

  thank you for responding/appreciate and can't wait to take real time to read.

  Xchange ---- I've probably exhausted my post? Didn't mean to derail justMom's topic and apologize if that happened.

  I have some question(s) for athiests: (1) Just who was this man called Christ 2,000 yrs. ago that influenced the world? If that's all a phosod he was the most popular ever. I realize there's not any evidence proving his existence; and (2) What do you think it would take to change behavior of mankind (I realize we all have good/bad but when the bad outweighs the good something needs to be radically reversed) not that all who profess to be Christians conduct themselves indicating such (but after all, xtians aren't perfect only forgiven/thank God!). If there's one thing that is disgusting about professed Christians is their conduct and it drives people away from anything to do w/following Christ whether it's a test on one's xtian endurance, whatever. I never could buy that line at the hall (or much of anything they said).

  There's a behavioral experiment that has followed a large group of ex-convicts around for 10 yrs. or more that converted to Christianity and the amt. of repeat-crimes committed was a very low percentile --- as any criminal lawyer will chant there's not anyone in jail/prison who doesn't get saved and is innocent but this experiment has proved to be the real deal. Anyway, I was shocked to hear about this test case. Maybe it's like the stats of many men in prisons today converting to Islam because they need/love the discipline that they've never experienced in their life from a responsible father or any father figure for that matter.

  Last question --- is it up to science (behavioral science/psychology/psyhiatry) to teach humans? I've always thought there should be teams in all educational facilities to work w/all children to protect and place in safe environs for them to learn/grow and leave the forocious animalistic traits. (I'm not referring to loving, responsible parents).
