Silentlamb needs to vent!

i swear to god i feel like a friggin tard right now!!

i have so much crap piled on that i feel like i'm starting to crack, and honestly, as i'm sure many other silentlambs can relate to, i start to get incredibly angry that not only do i have to deal with this sh*t at all, but also that despite my best efforts, conscious efforts, to overcome things, to heal and to move on with a healthy life, i still have times where i feel like it just breaks me.

where things feel hopeless.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((feenx))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

How about a support group that has a counselor or even a member that can relate to what you've been through? I'm just throwing that out there I really have no idea where to start but I do understand not being able to afford the professional therapist/counselor. I'm going to ask around, I don't think you are in my area but I work for a University Hospital. I'll ask what the policy is for those who can't afford or insurance doesn't cover services. Maybe they have some ideas that you could check into in your area.

I'll PM you with any information I find out.

If it wasn't for "....................." I'd still be in the "Truth".......

by ScoobySnax in

for me i think if it wasn't for the fact i'm gay, i'd still be an active witness.

this year, even my mum has said that it wouldn't be "appropriate" if i was to go to the memorial.

now the memorial is something i've never missed, so that kind of stings a bit.

First of all there is nothing "true" about this organization.

To answer your question - If it wasn't for me having a brain and realizing that I didn't need a book to tell me how to be a good person, a sky daddy to fix all my problems and a b*llS$%% organization telling me how to live my life, I'd have still been a JW.

What would you do with 200 million dollars?

by annalice in

ok ,so i'm really bumed that i didnt win this last weeks mega millons.

the first thing i was going to do with my 200 mill.

was buy a nice big billboard right across from bethal and have it say "the truth is a lie!

ex-nj-jw

Well I didn't win either and I spent $10.00 on friggin tickets.

If I won, I'd pay off my bills and my house. Invest, invest, invest. Purchase a house for my middle son so he could get the hell out of my house and put some away for them (kids) so they'd have a nest egg. Hopefully my accountant would give me some good investment options and I could live comfortably for the rest of my life and travel with my hubby.

Oh and if hubby wanted to still work (which I think he'd have to just not to get on my nerves) I'd set him up in his own business. He's always wanted to own his own print shop.

I'd also put away some for my oldest son. If he ever stops kissing my parent's butt and decides to be his own man I'd want him to be able to live comfortably. He's gonna need a lot of help if and when he decides to grow up and be a man.

Lastly I wouldn't spend one penny on anything WTBTS!

real one --- please provide proof here

by kwintestal in

sorry to saratonin wrath for his thread being hijacked.

real one ... please provide the evidence that you said was out there on this thread here to avoid further hijacking of the other thread.. insults towards non-believers are also better suited to this thread then the other one as well.. kwin.

when you are a preacher of righteousness there's no stopping you, right?

Yeah, that's what I hear. But I feel that there are so many religions out there, if someone feels they need "to find Jesus" they know where to go. You don't need bible thumpers ramming it down your throat or telling you that you need to read this or that scripture or calling you names or damning you to eternal hell, yadda yadda, yadda.

Jesus Christ! 9 pages, wow still no proof. I've avoided this thread for days just thought I check in to see if "real one" (fake one) provided any proof yet. *sigh* Typical.

Life Cereal

by jamiebowers in

does anyone remember the ban on life cereal, because it was supposed to contain blood?

i've ben disfellowshipped for more than 20 years, so it's been quite a while since i heard this.

did anyone hear this?

ex-nj-jw

oh and any colgate products we did not buy (I think it was colgate) because the owner of the company made a pact with the devil supposedly

I think this was the Proctor & Gamble products rumor.
