My picture is of me on my "1st" birthday with the singer of a local band. My name came from how unhappy and troubled I felt when I first began posting here . At that time I was just beginning to see the "truth". Happily today my mind is no longer troubled ,but at peace .

What does your avatar/screen name mean?
by Christ Alone insome avatars and screen names are pretty self explanatory, but some...i can't figure out.
i just wanted to know why you chose your particular screen name and/or avatar.
mine is easy enough.

Yes I remember it was a circuit assembly in Romeoville ,IL. fall of 2005 .
I was already lurking here and was waking up to the 'real'truth . I remember feeling very irritated the whole weekend as I looked around the hall at a bunch of unhappy robots that were going through the motions . A key point that comes to mind was that I purposely kept track of how many times Jesus was referenced to compared to the Annoited . It was shocking ! Jesus maybe twice the rest of the time it was the governing body or slave ,annoited .
Another thing that made me angry was once again they were using the example of some young teenager giving up a scholarship to pioneer. He was prompted to say how his decision to pioneer was THE best choice he could make ....I leaned over and whispered to my husband, " Yeah lets see what he thinks about that decision in about twenty years !"
I left that day knowing it was my last time .
***As a side note I recently found out from my son an interesting story about that day .....We had taken in a young Witness boy (19 or 20) that was not from our area ,but was trying to get out on his own . Our son had asked us to let this kid stay with us a couple of weeks that summer .We agreed and let him stay in our camper in the driveway for a week or two . (ended up he leeched off of us for about six months ! Ended up moving into the house when it got too cold ) Any ways back to that assembly day ....the young man had been out partying the whole night with some girls from town and had just crawled into bed when my husband came out to wake him to leave for the assembly ,we never had any idea....nice .

Yes ,I was just telling my husband this the other day . We are both early 50's and he said he feels the same way . I thought it was hormones ,but maybe not .
Terry you have been through a very trying experience and your body and spirit have been stressed to maximum . I think things will even out for you as you heal . Glad you are out of the hospital !

Feel the Goddamned Love
by AK - Jeff inmy mil of 38 years - who has not spoken to me for the 9 years since i left her cult - died on sunday.. today, as a favor to my sil who has spoken to me very rarely, for the same reasons, over the same period of time, i was moving some personal items to her home from the nursing home.
in this instance i guess it is ok to speak with me - if i have a strong back and a conveyance that aids her needs at the moment.. anyway, in the parking lot of the apartment complex where she lives, while we are moving in those items, guess who shows up?
five or six of my old 'best friends'.

Been there Jeff , Except in my case the old 'friends' will greet my husband and completely ignore me . Going into a restrurant one of our former best friends of 30 yrs was holding the door open as we entered he literally looked over my head as if I was not even there and greeted my husband .

Finally Awake this sounds so much like what happened to my husband and I ! You are so right ,it is a great feeling when you know they no longer have power over you and it is driving them crazy . Kind of a satisfying guiltless pleasure .

A thread for those who have no support system or a place to go due to shunning.
by ohiocowboy inreading the recent thread about the young lady who just ended her life got me thinking that maybe there could be a thread that is easily accessible to anyone who may need help due to homelessness from losing their families and friends to shunning.
too often i hear stories about people who have lost everything, and have no where to go, and at the same time having no type of support system.
unfortunately there are some who are so lost that they feel that there are no options besides taking their own life.. i think that a website that matches people in need to others who can help in some way would be a great idea.

" We are at the one inch line ..and some are stopping and looking around and wondering where we are in the stream of time.
RUN!!! IDIOT!!! RUN!!! Don't look at the time...just run...run...we're almost there."
Yeah right .... The reason that the player may be standing looking around is because he has been playing this 'f...ng' game for fifty yrs. ,and has just now realized life has passed him /her by in the mean time . The GB still screaming at the masses to NOT think about it just keep busy ,busy, busy, doing the meaningless tasks we tell you to do .
I agree with what Mrs.Jones just wrote :
"We're the event that the universe is watching."
Delusions of grandeur, the universe is completely indifferent.
