  The Prodigal One That Never Went Back...

  by Valis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is the tale of a young man that had a bright future as a cellist..he was only sixteen and things were looking bright if not for the very one that was supposed to be the head of the household.

  we'll call him jack...short for jackass btw.

  jack was a violent man, living and conducting himself as an upstanding jw in the eyes of the congregation...he beat his wife, married his 16 year old daughter off to some cretin, mistreated his other daughter, and finally took much aggression out on his sons...well jack did a real good job of beating the hope out of the prodigal one...he gave up playing cello and ran away from home to join the navy during vietnam...the rest of his life was hard and being rather tall, even for a prodigal one, his body got tired after a hard life...congenital lung disease, several bad motorcycle wrecks/suicide attempts imo, he's dying now..on a respirator...to complicate things, his wife of more than 15 years died today of congestive heart failure and complications from open heart surgery....you see, he never went home because there is not one to go back to...his mother died of cancer , jack left his first family and moved on to abuse two others while remaining a jw (not one now as far as i know) and has not been heard from for years.

  Colour Test........whats it tell about you!

  by qwerty in

  2. friends

  go see if it is accurate........... http://www.colourtest.info/this is me...my existing situation.........you want to make a favourable impression and be recognised.

  you need to feel appreciated and admired.

  you are sensitive and easily hurt if no notice is taken of you or if you are not given adequate acknowledgement.. .

  Mine is eerily very accurate !!!!!

  My Existing Situation...

  You need a peaceful environment. You want release from stress, and freedom from conflicts or disagreement. You Take pain to control the situation and its problems by proceeding cautiously. You have sensitivity of feeling and a fine eye for detail.

  My Stress Sources...

  Unable to exert the effort to achieve your objectives. You feel neglected, desiring greater security, warm affection and fewer problems.

  My Restrained Characteristics...

  You want to broaden your fields of activity and insist that your hopes and ideas are realistic. You are distressed by the fear that you may be prevented from doing what you want; you need both peaceful conditions and quiet reassurance to restore your confidence.

  My Desired Objective...

  Stress resulting from unwanted restriction or limitation. Psychological interpretation: You strive for straightforward relationships, founded on mutual trust and understanding. You want to act only in conformity with your own convictions. You demand freedom to make your own decisions without being subjected to interference, outside influence or the necessity of making compromises. In brief: Demands independence and "straight dealing".

  My Actual Problem...

  You need to protect yourself against your tendency to be too trusting, as you find it is liable to be misunderstood or exploited by others. You are therefore seeking a relationship providing peaceful and understanding intimacy, and in which each knows exactly where the other stands.

  i actually posted some of this in reply to rebel's thread..."for those of us with no opinion".

  i feel that everyone should have an opinion and this is mine.

  i feel some things i had to address and i can't just sit on my hands quietly anymore.. i think in the long run...no one really likes war, even then so-called "pro-war" people.

  Well thanks so much for the support and nice compliments. Like I said before I just felt that things had to be said and I'm glad that I could help. Thanks to those for the IM's and PM's.

  I was told at the age of 16 and a half that if I didn't like the rules and didn't follow the rules I could leave. I went over to a friends house to watch a movie...fell asleep missed curfew...and went home later that evening to find all my stuff packed and my mom said "you know what you were told now leave". I tried to plead my case but she would hear none of it and I was banished.

  My Story

  by Jennie in

  2. family

  (note from mom -- cruzanheart -- our jennie, who is 9 years old, wanted very badly to join the forum, so we agreed that she could as long as she posts and reads while sitting on one of our laps, for censorship purposes!

  she wrote the following essay over the weekend after we had a talk with her about the circumstances surrounding her grandfather's death.

  she's letting me type it, but the spelling and punctuation is hers.).

  ((((((((((Jennie))))))))) Welcome to you!!!!!

  I am very glad that you wrote about this. I feel myself like it is an important thing to talk about because I think that everyone sometime in their life has to deal with a death like this.

  When I was in high school I had a friend that killed himself. It was one of the hardest things that I had to deal with growing up. A big thing that I dealt with was that I was feeling guilty because I felt like I should have known, and I should have helped him so that he wouldn't have done that. That was 12 years ago, I was 15 at that time, and with age I have come to understand that it wasn't my fault and there was nothing that I could have done to stop him.

  I think that your Granpa was a very lucky man to have such a beautiful Granddaughter like you. You have a very big heart and it shows.

  If you would like to be penpals to chat or just write I think that would be great! [email protected] You can email me anytime

  Many hugs and Much love to you!!!!!!

  Borgfree...

  I totally agree that the other topics bring heated discussion...but the other subjects that get heated are not currently everywhere we look, much like the war is right now...I know it easy to say turn off the tv, radio and don't read the papers, but maybe some just need a break form the war?

  Damn...It's still early on in the war, who knows how long this could go on for??

  Thanks for your honesty
