  Do you believe that good comes from fighting?

  by jeanniebeanz in

  for example, if you and your significant other fight, does any good ever come of it?

  what about getting 'into it' with your teenagers; is that a good thing or a bad thing?.

  does fighting ever yield a favorable outcome?.

  A good arguement can clear the air sometimes, as long as it doesn't end on a bad note. I don't like fighting though, it turns petty and hurtful very quickly.

  i don't wish to hijack the chronic fatigue thread so i started this one.

  when i was a teen i suffered from severe depression brought on by emotional abuse, sexual abuse and the jw way of handling it.

  i couldn't physically get out of bed, didn't know what day it was, had no desire to eat and dropped below 100 lbs.

  I've often wondered why they didn't encourage some JW's to get trained as counselors or therapists. If they did that then they could really keep the organizational problems closer to them instead of having JW's go to "wordly" ones. Just think of the brainwashing opportunities available during the counseling sessions.

  If a J.W. went to a Catholic Hospital......?

  by hubert in

  had to go to a catholic hospital ie: st. mary's, st. stanislaus, etc.say, in an emergency, but was admitted and stayed there for a few days, would he/she get reproved or disfellowshipped?.

  would there be an hlc there to make sure that person didn't receive blood?

  can the hlc gain access to the j.w.

  For as much healing that has occured, there is always a part of me that bleeds. I don't know if that is ever going to go away. In the end maybe I don't want it to because all of the sadness and pain of the past remind me of how good I feel now.

  Dustin ~ All of our life experiences, good and bad, come together to make us who we are. The most kind, wise and living people that I know, had horrible early experiences but learned and grew from them. The ones that buried the past and denied it are awful and bitter. It's great that you can look back and feel good today.

  I look forward to hearing you and your band!

  The emotional abuse has been the hardest for me to "get over". Out of the blue it can all come back to slap my face again. I always felt like a misfit as well, which is why I love this board, we all have the same background more or less.
