My parents threw me away

by mzmmom in

need to put it in writing.

i think of it every day.

i know so many of us have gone through this, but it sure hurts.

abusers play the victim sometimes. I think the mother's response was a bit of self-justification, blaming everyone but herself for the consequences of following those evil old men in Brooklyn

my hope for you is that you will see "the truth about the truth".

Your mother stalked you on JWN? Yeah, uncomfortable. You're acting like a grown-up, though, which is a good thing.

The Pastor of my Old Church Tried to Re-Convert Me Yesterday

by cofty in

yesterday evening my wife and i were invited to friends house for new year's eve.

we met them when i was a christian and we have kept in touch.

they had a few other friends there as well, including the new church pastor and his wife.

Very cool conversation! Interesting that the pastor ran through his list of explanations and you blew each one out of the water leaving him with nothing to say. I sincerely hope he thinks about it, though.

Winter in China - Snow in Kunming

by fulltimestudent in

kunming (capital of yunnan province in south china, near the border with myanmar) has a reputation of being a city with a climate of perpetual spring.

neither winter or summer is extreme (on average) so its news when it snows:.

I've always wanted to go see the winter festival in Harbin -- never made it. Love those photos, thanks for sharing.

Goodbye to all

by abiather in

jw
friends

i say goodbye to all of you because of the tremendous pressure from my family members who are jws.. anyhow, i enjoyed my association with you for a short period!

it is part of life, as the bible says: we are all temporary residents here (hebrews 11:13).

this is my favorite scripture that has helped me to remain always balanced and equi-poised, helping me not to be greedy towards things or people expecting from them too much!.

Yeah, come back one of these days! The coffee is always on, someone's always awake to say hello.

What does 2014 mean to you

by NewYork44M in

sometime in the early 1990s i made a commitment to myself that if the end did not come in 2014 i was going to walk away.

then i started thinking - if i waited until 2014 i would be 57 years old with very few options.

that is when i realized that i needed to make changes to get my life back.

2014 well, I'm humming a little Beatles ditty, will you still need me, will you still feed me, etc.

one year to Medicare!! Then I can live anywhere, my fantasy is Sitka or Sewell.

So, today I ran into one of my accusers that were on my jc

by label licker in

and she tried to act as if she were by best friend, hugs and all.

i told her the elders were dirty getting her and her family to come in at the last minute and be my accusers yet none of them could remember anything from six years ago.

i told her this was all on account of her brother.
