I shouldn't be in trouble as "they asked a question" I answered it...no scriptures....didn't mention "God". I didn't want to be "mean" I just was honest. Maybe they will "think". At any rate they have the right to choose just like me. This shunning stuff is so wrong on so many levels and it has to bother them somewhere in their heart. It is a really unnatural thing to do.

It's too bad the vet didn't recognise the symptoms of blockage. Time was of the essence. My dog Bear was killed by my icky druggie neighbor's Pitt Bull that dug under my fence to kill my dog. It took 3 yrs to stop crying over that. Lost my newfie last July had a enlarged spleen with a tumor on it. I think that your puppy will help and getting him into weekly training RIGHT AWAY will help both you and your wife while socializing your dog. Your other dog will get used to this pup. Like everyone says. Time. I am soo sorry.

I was on a flight working the beverage cart when I spied with my little eyes two women reading WT material. I served them and said they looked like Jehovah's Witnesses. They smiled and asked if I was a Witness and I said nooooooooo. I used to be but haven't been for years. They asked me if I had a bad experience and I said, "Yes, for about 36 years". Silence. Then they asked was there a specific issue I had trouble with. I said the list is too long to be really discussed at that time but I would name the top two as "sisters" treated as second class citizens when Jesus never gave that example. Secondly, those guys in New York claiming to be "the Governing Body" when they have no background to be in a position of "government" and judgement over even the most small detail of your life like clothing, makeup, sex etc. I can't believe the "brothers and sisters' never question anything about these men or where all the money is.
They had nothing to say and when they deplained they literally averted their faces from me as I said thank you for being here and I hope to see you again..... in a truely nice way. My first time of being literally "shunned".
I was a little surprised at their simple rudeness but not bothered. The other f/a saw the whole thing and asked about it and she was pretty disgusted.
Poor gals. I'm glad not to be like them anymore.

Dr Phil is like Caesar The Dog Whisperer. As a qualified dog trainer it alarmsme that Caesar gets away with his show when the difficult situations with dogs takes weeks and months to accomplish with people willing to stay focused on their goals andwith great love for their animals. Most of Dr Phil is just "common sense". Both shows are dangerous because they are entertainment pretending to be "fix it" shows.

My Trip to the Unitarian Universal Church
by NewChapter inso, pretty much i no longer care to believe in a god.
but, either because of my 20 years in a jw daze, or because humans just desire this, i miss the community.
so, i went to a unitarian church this morning.

I've been going to the Unitarian Universalist Church for about 2 yrs. My pastor "Reverand James" likes to be called "James". His religious education encompases so much that I am REALLY impressed. I am not easily impressed. I am also impressed with the people and children attending. The main theme is about community be it our immediate area or international. They take from all religious creeds, judge no one and are unconditional in their exceptance of all who attend. Classes are offered that encompass just about anything you can think of. I love it there. I think every congregation has it's own flavor but I like where I go. What ever you believe you are welcome.

Do You Ever Think Of "God"?
by minimus ineven those that no longer believe in "god", i wonder, do you ever ever think of god, believing possibly he may exist?.
for those that do believe in god, do you feel you have more of a relationship than when you were a witness?.

There is probably not a day that goes by that I don't think about "God". I have chosen to believe that there is a "collective conscienceness" but I have no proof. Neither does anyone else have proof of what they have "chosen to believe". Science says that energy never dies. I can accept that. So our "energy" moves on.
Someone "invents" something. Then in history you find that several people in far different places had the same idea. Whoever published or patented it first was given credit. Were they all tapping into "collective you-know-what"?
As far as I can read about, "God" is a manmade concept that has be conveniently remolded to some patriarchial preferance...christian or other...they are at their base pretty much the same. Power and money at others expense.

Both my brothers were older. One 10yrs older and the other 6yrs older. My oldest brother molested me starting when I was 4. My other brother was diagnosed as a sociopath and was in and out of prison including 51/2 yrs for beating a young guy to death with a hammer. He was merciless in tormenting me and my mom always said, "what did you do to make him mad". My mom said my oldest brother wasn't "molesting" me, he was just "sexually experimenting". My other brother really was my mom's favorite. When he murdered that kid my mom said "well, that kid was a smart mouth". When this brother got out of prison he was found 3 days later in a vacant lot. He died of an overdose of cocain injection. Mother wouldn't believe it unless I went down to see him. It was really hard as the autopsy people had not even hosed him off. I never told my mom that he ODd I told her it was a heart attack. She lived for him and died 3 mos after him. My older brother lived in front of me for decades and we never discussed what happened. He dropped dead in October without a Will and so I'm going thru the legal system as my property is tied with his. My dad was my island of sanity. He died 15 yrs ago...natural causes. My mother nagged him out of everything he loved. The only thing she let him do was have a garden and it was magnificent. When he died she had me rototill the garden and plant grass. The day after he died I went to see if she was alright. Shewas cleaning house and had a headband on. She never wore a headband. It turned out that she had cut the waistband off my dad's underware after he died so as not to waste the waistband. My dad tried to get her out of the borg, even moving us to Baudette, Minnesota but she found them (very few) there. Other than suffering from "ophan envy" I tried to talk/reason with her but I might as well have hammered myself to death. It is hard to think of her as a "victim" since she was such a hard case. Any time I wanted to go somewhere or do something she would say "no, followed by some scripture". So she had "issues" but the WT really screwed every aspect of our lives. Everyone is dead now. I am the only one left and trying to extracate myself from all the shit. A "brother" has been visiting me and I told him I would never set foot in a KH again in my life. He still comes back but I just don't answer. I am very kind, empathetic, hysterically funny, loyal person but the past roots run so deep that I can't get out from it's shadow. I look at young women and think, " never underestimate your capability of fucking up your kids". I think I would have been a great mom but I didn't have kids. I didn't want to take that chance.

She died (now she knows "the secret" ie what comes after death) I really loved my mom. She was so controlling that she would not drive an automatic as she didn't have as much control. She didnt force things on my 2 brothers but she sure did on me and I want to just remember her and what good qualities she had but my memory of her is blanketed by the blackness of the society. Does anyone know how to do this. My counselor told me to try to see her as a victim as well. That's hard because she was not one to mess with. When I let myself think of her I just start crying...she's been gone two years.
