  an interesting experience

  by ldrnomo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  over the last 7 years i have been helping a young man who is now 16 and whose mom is a witness.

  his mom has three children all different fathers the young man i have been helping had a father in prison and 6 months after he was released he was shot and killed so my young man has never really had a father.

  since i have stopped going to meetings about a year ago his fat ass mother who is basically worthless has resisted my help to her son.

  One Sentence

  by joannadandy in

  i look back on all my posts here sometimes (ok not literally - i'm too verbose to look at all of them) and can't believe where i am today.

  not that i am sitting on top of the world as the most successful person - but the small victories i have achieved over the past few years really did seem impossible to my pessimistic and damaged little mind when i first started posting here.

  when i look back i have a lot of anger in my first posts - and man oh man what a rocky relationship with my parents.

  at least 300 have been terminated from the us bethel branch in the first month of 2008, and she expects the number to increase.

  paraphrasing other comments:.

  The manipulation is sickening...

  by AuroraB in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, i just had another run-in with the moms.

  totally unrelated to the truth, but we just disagree on so many things, and instead of being respectful and agreeing to disagree, i got the standard, "something is wrong with your thinking and you're going to have a hard time of it if you don't change.

  " or, in other words, start to believe what she believes.

  What are your Guilty Pleasures of a geeky/nerdy variety?

  by Crumpet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't mean the ones we know about already - things people wouldn't think you did or enjoyed to look at you.. i love watching ray mears extreme survival and learning about how to survive and find food and shelter in extreme climates even though there is a strong possibility that i shall never try and escape naked from a japanese prisoner of war camp, or crash without a flagon of water into the sahara, or come stuck in my ship in a freezing ice plateau in deepest antartica.

  .

  what's your guilty geeky pleasure?.

  hey there.

  i'm new to the forums and just had to say hi, and thank you to all of you who've shared your stories which have let me know finally and for sure that i'm not crazy and nowhere near as abnormal as i've been feeling...well, forever, really, but more so over these last few years!!!

  i can't tell you what a good feeling that is, but i suspect you already know.
