if you've clicked around on other sites, you can find the troubling picture i grew up with from the old orange paradise lost book.
a big old armageddon earthquake that is swallowing up people, churches, a bicycle, a dog!
) and of course, a little girl in a dress that is indelibly planted in my memory chips.
Oh Mary, you silly girl, don't you remember that god will wipe every tear from our eyes? LOL
I am wondering about the psychological effects on the children models. Another form of child abuse? What must it be like for these children that see drawings of themselves being destroyed? I'm not sure how I would have handled seeing something like that as a child.
I can't believe I though it was ok for my children to view such things.
first - let me point out that (for those that do not know this), neither my wife nor any of her family are jws.
my wife studied with a jw - but that was many years ago.
she never got too far into the jw religion - but got a knowledge of what - and who they are.
Alot of witnesses who write letters see it as a way to 'count their time'. it is an easy option for pioneers instead of walking the streets knocking doors. They can stay cosy in their house and still 'preach the good news', just a way of sciving if you ask me.
There was a brother in my hall that pioneered for a year like that . Never went out door to door. Couldn't get around, yadda, yadda. After that year he went back to driving a semi-truck, long hauls and never at the meetings.

Can anyone scan those picures?
i would just like to give an update on my sobriety, as i have had one or two pms regarding it.. this time last year i went almost 4 weeks without a drink but found it incredibly hard each day, so eventually went out one night to see a live band in a pub and started to drink again.
this time feels different, in that i have the support of the aa and people pn this board to help me out.
i am not saying it has been easy but i have felt better for it.
*HUGS*
Good on ya - one day at a time is sometimes hard. Break it up into hours or minutes when you have to.
I'm proud of you, keep the positive outlook on entertainment and socializing, that will help tremendously.
you know, we all like to talk about how awful the congregations we attended were, but at the end of the day, most of us are here because we need support letting go of our friends and family.
personally, i had and still do have occasionally (because i haven't faded yet) great times with some of my friends.
yeah, it's all based on our religion and they wouldn't be my friends if i didn't believe it.
Yeah, I feel ya.
I've been telling myself I've got plenty of friends, I'm making more and it doesn't matter. It does. I have lost people I truly love and care about.
More and more I am facing the fact that my brother and my son are NOT going to be resurrected. That smarts. I've been telling myself that I have moved on, for the most part i have, but it's leaving a bigger hole than I thought it would.
as you sit here quietly reading these words your transdimensional organ of neural coordination and quantum consciousness is quietly performing miracles without your waking awareness.
the uploading and downloading gigabits of information that make you, you, are silently and relentlessly radiating throughout the whole hyper-dimensional universe but most importantly to the 3 lb.
lump of flesh sitting on the top of the collective bacterial colonies (some 90% of all your cells) that make your miserable existence possible.
Any friend of Scully's is a friend of mine. Welcome back, glad you dropped in.
will he manage to make it for the entire hour of the bookstudy or will he open his mouth and - well, you know moshe!.
i am out of town and just thought i would see what has changed in the almost 20 years since i sat in on a kh meeting.
.
You are the MAN !
i was married a long time, divorced and alone for the last couple of years.
i consider myself content.
i've come to terms with being alone and the prospect that i may not be with someone for a good while.
Wrong IMHO.
If you feel it, you have to let her know. You want to risk finding out years from now that she felt the same and neither of you spoke up?
Look at it this way: Speak up - you may lose a friend.
Don't speak up and you may lose what could be the love of your life.
Which one are you willing to risk?
If I ever feel the way you describe again - I'm taking that chance and speaking up.
i knew, and i am beginning to think i was right.
several shrinks and therapists later, and i realize that my entire life structure is not only gone, but it was a farce in the first place.
how do you cope with that?
I've been in a funk all day..........I don't know how I could get out of it ................hmmmmmm...........
I'm so damn happy right now I could run down the road naked and screaming, I'll do it and post it on u tube if it'll get you out of the funk you;re in...
That might work!
Dawg - don't forget to post that link.
