  Upset & Need to Vent to Compassionate Ears

  i am so grateful to have a place where my experiences being treated like one of the walking dead can be understood and empathized with.. i was opening my mail last night and there was a bill from local hospital.

  i opened it a bit confused because i have not been in a hospital in 2 years.

  it was a detailed bill for my stepson.

  jgant -

  I wonder if your X would know how to treat you if the Watchtower ran a QFR regarding the matter? I am sure the Witnesses could benefit from a comprehensive list of activites under "necessary family business".

  What is a QFR?

  Thank you all for your kind words...just what I needed. My stepson is 19 and a regular aux. pioneer--nonamegiven. Yes, I love that the people willing to own their mistakes take the hit and those that are just pure evil...well, you get the jist.

  Take care - why not write your step son a letter and tell him you love him. Have it delivered in a way you know he will get it. All you can do is love from your side - you can't force reciprocation. Hang in.

  Good idea Jeff. I think I will do just that.

  I did not even think about being responsible for the hospital bill, but thank you for point that out Scully..definitely need to call them. As far as the X...as horrible as he was/is to me...he is a very loving father and would die before he hurt his kids (well, with the exception of the religion thing that is).

  You guys are the best!

  I am so grateful to have a place where my experiences being treated like one of the walking dead can be understood and empathized with.

  I was opening my mail last night and there was a bill from local hospital. I opened it a bit confused because I have not been in a hospital in 2 years. It was a detailed bill for my stepson. It scared me and all I could think was "OMG, he died and no one called me". So I text the X because I get sick when I have to hear his voice. He texts back that stepson is "OK". No details, so as I start to dial his number to speak with him, he calls me. I ask what happened and at first he says he just broke his arm. I say, they ran all those tests for a broken arm? He says, well he was in an accident. I ask what kind. I finally, after much teeth pulling, get the story...the kid almost died in a serious accident in January and was in the hospital for a week. The X claims he did not call me because the kid requested that. Might be true because the kid is well & truly indoctrinated in the Borg and then again the X is not known to me for his honesty. I say "I raised this kid for 8 years. I was more a mother to him than his own and you don't call me???? If he dies, are you going to have the compassion to let me know?" He says "I don't know". Of course, that is his standard response to pretty much any question he is ever asked.

  This just makes me so sick at heart. I hate the Borg and the X. This True Christian raped me 8 times, cheated on me twice, never once did he confess his sins. I do something stupid, have not one, but two breakdowns over it, confess my sin (because the X hounded me to do so), make 100% amends for what I did and I am the one who gets kicked out because I was not emotionally well enough to endure the committee hanging with the Nazis. My family still hangs out with this prick because he is in "good standing" in the Borg.

  firstly some background.. when i was 21 i went to live in sydney and left my congregation in tasmania.

  until then i had never seen the bad side of the borg.

  being new in town and staying with my non jw sibling i immediately checked in with the local congregation and soon found a fellow witness to share an apartment with.

  That could be my story you told. I moved in with the darling of the congregation: a pioneer. This piece of trash was sleeping with any man who asked. She brought home guys in the middle of the night...I was the bad girl of the cong. because I worked full-time, I went to (gasp!) college. The roommate would tell people that I was doing the crap she was. Guess who was believed?

  Do you believe you have a particular purpose in life?

  by journey-on in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask this because as a jw, you are programmed to think your only purpose is to preach the good news of the kingdom....period.

  but more and more, i've noticed in my own life a strong pull toward something i won't elaborate on, but it has me thinking that maybe we really do each have a particular purpose and it's up to us to discover what it is.

  i know i'm kind of new to the forum, but please let me know if any of you have experienced this same kind of unusually strong pull toward something you can't fully explain.

  I don't feel pulled in a particular direction. I do have some awesome business ideas that I am getting off the ground. I also want to travel. I am the captain of my journey and I find it exciting...you just never know where you are going to land, and who with.

  a few years back a bunch of brothers in the cong.

  Creative parody! I remember I worked with some hardline pioneers and we would do the projects in my area well into the late evening...nothing more exhilarating than wondering if a crack dealer is going to blow your head off as you deliver unwanted magazines.

  Fading Music

  if there was only one cd you could choose that helped you through the time you were fading from one set of choices to another, which one would it be?

  just one now.. mine would be cheryl crow-wildflower.

  of course there were others, but i limited this to just one.there are several songs on there that helped me express my feelings.. then, i also relistened to all my old music.

  My Way by Los Lonely Boys:

  I don't need no fortune
  I don't need no fame
  That's all just an illusion
  To me it don't mean a thing
  
  You can try and deceive me
  But I see right through your skin
  And what you're trying to tell me
  Is something I don't believe in
  
  Don't tell me how to live my life
  Don't tell me how to pray
  Don't tell me how to sing my song
  Don't tell me what to say
  
  Cuz I believe that miracles
  happen every day
  I don't care what you say,
  I'm gonna do it my way
  
  You say you have all the answers
  And I should do it your way
  How many times do I have to tell you
  I ain't no puppet on a string
  Listen to me...
  
  Don't tell me how to live my life
  Don't tell me how to pray
  Don't tell me how to sing my song
  Don't tell me what to say
  Cuz I believe that miracles
  happen every day
  I don't care what you say,
  I'm gonna do it my way
  I'm gonna do it my way
  What'd you say
  
  Ohhhhhhhhh
  Ohhhhhhhhh
  Ohhhhhhhhh
  
  Don't tell me how to live my life
  Don't tell me how to pray
  Don't tell me how to sing my song
  Don't tell me what to say
  
  Don't tell me how to live my life
  Don't tell me how to pray
  Don't tell me how to sing my song
  Don't tell me what to say
  
  Cuz I believe that miracles
  happen every day
  
  I don't care what you say
  I'm gonna do it my way
  I'm gonna do it my way
  Ohhhhhhh I'm gonna do it my way

  Bro A...you don't want or desire much do you? When you figure out how to get all that, clue me in on the secret. Although, I much prefer Pedro the Pool Boy instead of a maid.

  Unconfused...it is simply the best! A piping hot cup of coffee in the blink of an eye. Ebay has good prices on them. I started with the B50 and have since moved up to the B90. I can't live without.
