the past couple of days, i've been posting a lot about how disappointed and even disgusted i am with god and how he runs his universe.
i guess that probably offends some people.
i don't intend to make people feel bad, but here's what's been going on in my life lately:.
The more I talked to them, the better I felt.
This is the answer to my ability to "get out of my head" get out of my pain, and leave the past where it belongs. When I am filling a need in someones elses life instead of focusing on the needs in my own life, my own needs either disappear or get taken care of without much hoopla.
I agree with you about your inner calling for the elderly. You have a gift to feel, see, experience what they are that very few can know. That takes love, deep empathy and a special gift few have. Follow your heart my friend.
Guilt's only function is to turn us around when we are doing something habitually that is destructive to ourselves, others, or the earth. If you have guilt that isn't related to that, then it is not worthy of your time. If there is something you are doing habitually that is harmful to yourself or others, you need to deal with it but in a healthy way.
As a believer in God, I use the description; anything we think say or do that displeases God is sin, and will cause guilt. But after being a JW, sometimes God's will gets clouded. He doesn't sweat the small stuff He wants our hearts, and He wants us to know that in spite of all the pain He allows others to cause us, He loves us and we can trust that. The saying "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger" is true for me. We can turn all this pain and anguish into love and understanding for other's pain, or allow it to turn us hard and bitter.
There were times in my life that I seen a psychiatrist and was on meds. It really helped with the out of control feelings I was having. I have been to Psychologists, Psychoanalysts, and Christian counselors to get through a decade of emotional pain and confusion. There is no stigma for getting help when we need it. If the first Doctor doesn't work, try another.
I'm so sorry you have been suffering so. You DESERVE to wake up feeling happy to be alive. You DESERVE to wake up feeling joyful. That is my deepest desire for you. May 2007 open a door to whole new and wonderful day for you!
Love~Kate

I read your post right after you posted it and I have been very sad for you. I did not have time to say the things I wanted to say until now.
You know how I feel about you. You have made a huge contribution to the life of nearly 100 lonley Seniors, and this is just the beginning.
Because of our lead in this, other churches are getting on board and will be reading your exerpt. Many more lonely forgotten Seniors will be reached and their lives changed by regular vists by commited new friends.
I can't make you see the beauty of the light in your heart only the God that you are angry with can. And He can handle your anger. He loves you just the way you are.
When we went to deliver Christmas gifts on Christmas Eve, I had a team of 4 women and 1 very special child with me. I wish you could have seen her. She is 9 years old and lead the way. She was not afriad of the seniors who were lingering near death, or the appearance of some, she took every gift, sang them a song, gave them a hug, helped them unwrap their gifts in ways only a beautiful innocent child can do.
Her hugs give them life. Oh Thomas...there is so much beauty in the world and I know that it is inside you. I know because of the words you gave me. The picture you painted. I'm so sorry you have been in so much pain, I do understand that pain. But never give up on tomorrow.
I love you,
Kate
what is the second comming of christ, i mean what will happen...............armageddon??????????
destruction for anyone who isnt a christian ?.
he he going restore paradise on earth ????????.
I don't spend my time wondering when Jesus is coming back, it doesn't matter to me.
What does matter is the relationship I have with Him right now, today.
2 Corinthians 5:6-8 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
His Spirit dwells inside me today, guides me, comforts me, corrects me. When my body dies, I'll see Him. The veil of the physical world will be lifted.
dear newest best friends,.
we spend a lot of time here - learning and helping one another out - a worldwide "brother- and sisterhood.
" quite different from what we left behind.
Parakeet that really a sweet friendship!
One thing I have learned is that there are toxic people out there. There is only so much one can do for and with a toxic person. They see only the dark side of life. They look for the faults of others and point them out to lift themselves up in their own mind. They will kick you when you are down and talk about you behind your back.
If we try to bond with truly toxic people we are in for pain and problems. Some people can suck the life out of you.

Oh yeah..I have too many happy happy relationships to count. Lots of really cool friends, wonderful mother and husbands family. My biological family has given me grief but not personally, I grieve for the children.
I guess I just love them unconditionally and don't take issues personally. Because often they are not intended to cause pain and we are all lacking in one way or another. Give without expectations. I also don't look to others to fulfill something lacking inside myself. That helps.
what is the wbts policy on jury duty?
are they allowed to participate?.
i've been called to go on january 2nd, to be active throughout the entire month of january, but i can't afford to be off work for only $15 a day.
Me too.
I have to call on the 27th to see if I have to report on the 28th ...yuck..I'm gonna be sooooooo tired.....
I may just get a doctors note. I'm permanently disabled and usually am way too tired to go but every year they send me a jury summons and every year I have to bother my doctor to write a note. Once I didn't bother to do either and the DA called me, I guess I was supposed to be there. He was cool about it.
Have fun!
as many of you know, my husband is a disabled veteran.
the truck that we have wasn't working out with his disability.
we had a lift on the back, but it was taking more energy for him to use then he had.
Awe that is so wonderful!
