havent seen much poetry lately...

by zanex in

and my parents have been very painfully been intruding into my life from a very jw angle lately and it doesnt help that i work with a buttload of other jws that happen to know my parents and see them fairly regularly...nevermind that they dont bother to tell me that they are coming into town but they tell a whole lot of jws who i happen to work with...i happen to be in a fairly heavily jw emplyd field...language translation.

anyway...make a long story short i sat down in front of my laptop after an excruciating evening of work and this came out of my fingers....i felt like the only place it cud be understood is here..... living in the past.

mind wallowing in self defeat.

Why did you choose your USER NAME?

by In Between in

friends

i think some people actually use part of their real name.

i chose mine because i really feel 'in between', in that space where your not a jw anymore but really haven't figured out where you are in life and what path you want to take.

just thought it would be an interesting topic.

Thoughts...

all to often, my mind drifts to my mixed feelings for my mother.

the deep love that burned in my heart for the woman who had given me life.. the suicidal remorse i felt for bringing such guilt and reproach on her good name.. the blinding anger i felt for her never questioning her beliefs, but always questioning her son.. and so i'm left with a vacuous emotional chamber for a large element that is missing from my soul.. and when you've lost your most valuable possesion, everything else is gravy on an empty plate - pointless.. and so i hurt too, and i love my mom, but does she love me?

the unanswered question haunts my mind.. we recieve, we give, and sometimes, we just plain screw up.

the watchtower society is notorious for discouraging the brethren from performing acts of kindness and charity towards people of the world, claiming in their literature it is a waste of time or worse the funds may be absconded.

(see awake of this year "what is happening to charity?

today was 109 degrees in our town.

My wife and I adopted a little girl who lost her parents and most of her family in a rebel masacre in the mountains here. She was 7, malnourished and illiterate. She is 18 now, married and was able to make it through high school.

Does that count?
