this past weekend i was speaking to a friend who attends the hall that i once did in northern illinois.
we were catching up on the latest news regarding the mass disfellowshipping (53) of teenagers that happened in the area, and she shared .
they were talking about the dfing and he said that they needed to be cast out, it was akin to "scourging" and hopefully they would wake up and realize what they had done.
It's the same old story does fear, guilt or brute force ever surpass love and concern ? Even if
these tactics at first appear to work it's usually only because a form of bribery or worse still a broken spirit ! ...

i certainly will.. this place has strengthened me in my resolve to forever stay away from "the truth".. i've made a lot of connections here and have learned a lot.. jwd and friends----you will be missed!.
It would be the understatement of my life to even have to ponder or doubt the reality of
missing this place ! ~~~ Caliber
on this site and elsewhere i have heard the expressions when hurt by words.... "grow up.. grow a thick skin ".
well it all seems easy enough to say, but we all have areas of high sensitivity.. physical, mental, emotional, social standing, education and race.
it is easy to find humor in things.
tijkmo, ~~ I recognize these as words to one of your songs...thanks alot.. I listen to some of your songs
recorded on my I-pod nearly everyday (as I work )... great emotion.. great feeling to them ..thanks !
They are genuine emotions because you LIVED them and felt them deep in your being !
They are born out of a life in the aura and thinking of the WT.
As one other of your songs says " I can handle the hurt.. I can handle the pain "
But not the feeling of NEVER feeling again."... only when we can resolve our thinking
and feeling half's of our brain may we truly start living again ! your thoughts so true !

my congregation had 85 members ten years ago.
today,there are only 46. the ones that left the organization were mostly between 18-25 years old.
i haven't seen many middle-aged or elderly leave.
I think if as a teeanger you didn't manage to leave(or get the boot ) that as" Idealism" of youth passes you really start to think
for yourself.... 30 to 40 years old ~~Cal
or is it just me?.........oomps.
it is dangerous.
I think it only natural that everyone be intrigued and finding more interesting those of the opposite sex !
Is it strange that I have chatted with women while H4O chats mainly with men ? I think it's no
accident ...even strictly for conversation and friendship that's just how things work .~Cal

Well it all seems easy enough to say, but we all have areas of high sensitivity.. physical, mental, emotional, social standing, education and race. It is easy to find humor in things
in which we exceed or excel ourselves, but to be very protective and guarded in those
areas of sensitivity perceive as a fault or failure prejudice in our own life
To grow up or get over it is to say we still think like a child.. but do we not all still have
that small child hidden deep within ? I venture to say we all seek the comfort and protection we felt (hopely ) a child. What we apply to a child ..would it not be beneficial to apply to all ? Take note of this article of child bullying.....
Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones...
But Words Can Hurt Forever
Do you remember being a child and hearing the
phrase "sticks and stones may break my bones,
but words will never hurt me?" While it’s true that
words can’t break a child’s bones, they can break a
child’s spirit. If hurtful, negative messages are
repeated again and again, they become destructive
to children and turn into a type of emotional abuse
known as "verbal abuse."
Verbal abuse differs from other forms of child abuse
because the consequences of it are not always
visible on the outside, since it hurts children on the
inside. Verbal abuse damages children by adversely
affecting their sense of self-worth, security and ability
to feel loved. Verbal abuse, a form of emotional
abuse, is considered to be the most prevalent type of
abuse and tends to occur in conjunction with other
varieties of abuse. The effects of emotional abuse,
including verbal abuse, are extensive and can last a
lifetime .http://www.preventchildabusewi.org/pub/wint02.pdf
Sticks and stones may break my bones (but words will never hurt me).
something that you say which means that people cannot hurt you with bad things they say or write about you. Criticism has never bothered me
Stop and think before you speak.
Think aboutwhat you say and how what you say may affect
your child.(anyone )
This post was inspired by a recent failure on my part to fully "think before you write
!"
I can not retract words once spoken but nevertheless vow to apply the quote below
Acknowledge that you failed, draw your lessons from it, and use it to your advantage to make sure it never happens again.
- Michael Johnson
There are no mistakes, save one: the failure to learn from a mistake.
