i have this friend and i told her that i have an addiction that can become very distructive and she keeps telling me that the root of my addiction is depression.
however, i know this is not the case.
how should i tell her how i am feeling about her "conclusions" with out seeming rude?
Hmm...how can I put this...?
Through personal experiences I have learnt - It is none of my business what other people think of me.
In other words, don't get caught up in hearsay and the politics of opinion. Especially when you or them are not willing to hear each other out and respect valid points.
firstly let me say wooohhooooo!
then i think i might say woooooohooooo!.
i got two short stories (flash fiction) published in a creative writing magazine.
I hear you - I love it - Keep going and put another spin on the world.
SUPER !!!!!!!!!!!
i have just heard today that my wifes mother has died suddenly of a heart attack.
she was either in her late 60's or early 70's.
she was a jw though an inactive one.
The Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the dead are conscious of nothing.
Therefore, what's the point of attending except to be ignored by the living as well.
Let her be and live in the memory.
ughhhhh, i left "the truth" when i was 16 i had my daughter when i was 18. while is was finishing college my mother watched my daughter for me , so they are very very close.
well whenever my daughter goes to visit usualy about a week at a time my mother takes her to the hall .
she fills her head with the doctrine and tells her that ill say bad things about it and scares her into not telling me about it .
I have a nine year old daughter that spends half her time with me and the other half with her mother. She (my daughter) is dragged door to door and spends every minute with my ex under the umbrella of the WT.
However, I'm very lucky. My daughter thinks the Jehovah's Witnesses are delusional. It took some work.
My advice in your situation:
Throw the BIGGEST birthday parties! Buy the most extreme ROCK and ROLL (within reason). Watch wizard type movies with her. Go nuts at Christmas!
And above all, say these words, "Don't you think it's silly that some people are afraid of having a bit of fun?"
i'm new to these boards.
i'll introduce myself.. i was raised a jw, baptized at 13, pioneer at 15, married at 18, divorced at 21, disfellowshipped and pregnant at 22, and here i am.
i gave birth to a beautiful baby boy about five months ago, and i've never been happier, but that has required a lot of sacrifice and hurt.
Congratulations on making your way here, hope you stay.
No more clouds I hope.
Greetings (I'm new too)
I noticed on your profile you stated that you have not found the right religion.
Is it not logical to you that there is no such thing as the right religion. After all, religion is the product of man not God.
Just trying to be helpful.
.
than never to have loved at all.
i'm not sure i agree.
I think some people anylse too much the workings of love. Therefore add pressure to the wacky formula and lose the lot.
I have had a number of loving experiences with women I have called friends for years.
Love is different for everyone.
