  Sparkplug------- I am so glad my words did not offend you. I wanted to offer words of sympathy and encouragement and found, like you, that I had to express the immediate negative emotions before I could get through to expressing the other more positive stuff that is also there.

  I appreciate, too, your being patient with my ignorance of your full situation...I knew this to be the case on my part--and knew that my own experieneces were coloring my responses to the words on your page. But since I knew that in the midst of all of it is someone in much pain and in need of support, I was moved to try to offer--even fumbling--support, the best I could under [my] circumstances.

  I'm so sorry for all you've gone through...truly I am...and for what you continue to go through now. I think the fact that you DO find yourself feeling compassion toward her speaks very highly of your character as a person. Kudos to you, for that!!

  My pain comes in that my kids express NO compassion for me--under far lesser circumstances than what you've had to deal with--and it is a horrible fear of mine that I will then eventually fall under their callous, abusive 'care'...as given in example by their dad, my ex-husband [whom they side with--no adultery, ya know...and spousal abuse is permissible in that god-forsaken religion].

  Anyway, having gotten past the initial horror of my response, I FULLY sympathize with your situation (though I understand you don't ask sympathy--I give it willingly). The hope for healing that I was referring to was not with your mom--I understand some things being too far, too late. The hope for healing is solely for YOU...because nobody escapes from such a situation as you have endured without gaping wounds still to dress.

  I'm glad to hear that healing--and access healing resources (loving family, e.g.)--has been well underway for you for years. That is all I care for, for you. You deserve that. I'm glad to see you get it. Peace to you.......

  WOULD YOU BE AN ACTIVE WITNESS IF????

  by minimus in

  2. beliefs

  would you be an active witness or even an inactive one if you could change a few things?

  for example: let's say the blood issue could be resolved, would you stay?

  or if 1914 doctrine was dissolved or the disfellowshipping/ shunning view changed?

  i believe in you.

  theres no such thing as writers block.. muses dont exist.. water boils when you watch the clock.. nothing lost is missed.. its better not to love or lose.. times not medicine.. saxophones dont cure the blues.. beautys not just skin.. i dont believe in any myth.. legends are not true.. but if you want to know my pith,.

  i believe in you.. .

  Got proposed to today

  a very nice lady and very pretty who has been coming in for a few weeks now, is starting to become a fatal attraction.. she comes in for the most idiotic requests and has asked me out numerous times.

  i keep giving her some excuse for not going out.. i can't tell her i am gay as that can destroy everything at work here.. any ideas?

  i don't want to hurt her feelings or stop her from spending her money here as well as sending her friends and neighbors.

  You could tell her that you've already been seeing someone on a casual friendship basis that has the feel of getting a little closer now than before...and you don't like talking about your love life in general. Let her know that you're flattered and that you do think she is pretty...just that your heart is engaged elsewhere. And don't give in to urgings for 'details.' Just say you like to keep your private life private.

  i've been reading a while and decided to join in.

  my jw experience: my mom got hooked during a vulnerable period (marriage split up).
