UC, I appreciate the suggestions but it is very hard to do when you are married to a "still in". Kinda hard to explain that I'm goin' to the tavern to hang out without causin' a bunch o'shit......

How do you view the people you left behind?

by sabastious in

i had a lot of anger towards them for a good amount of time.

but now, i like to think about the good times we had.

i like to think about their attributes i admired.

At first I was hurt then as time went on I found myself to be angry with the ones that I thought shoulda been smarter than that and I still think they but they are like most of them, just caught up in a scam and don't know how to get out. At first a few of them still came around and asked me to do things like go eat, bowl or something. But, within the last 6 months I have been totally forgotten and it is beginning to take a toll on me. I don't have a fuckin' freind in this world....nobody to talk to, nuthin'..and this damn computer shit is getting old too..

Saw my JW father the other day

i'm still a bit torn on the issue of associating with my parents.

they have made absolutely no effort to keep in touch and usually any contact results in a generic witness email reply.. i have been at the point that i really don't need or care for their influence in my life for a while but i keep flipping back and forth between cutting off all contact and being the bigger person and at least give them updates.. so, in light of their recent aniversary, i went to the store and tried to pick them out a card.

i never really realized how difficult that is if you're looking for a card to actually mean what you say.. unfortunately i didn't find a card that said "sorry you two are trapped in a loveless marriage and i could really care less about your opinions" so i settled for the least bit sappy i could find.. i put the kid's school pictures in and while out running errands dropped it off.

Sorry to hear you are going thru this...I'm sure they are wanting you to return so you and your family will be in the "NEW WORLD" together....sigh

Sad Family News.....

by AK - Jeff in

on friday morning, sometime before noon, my former son-in-law [for lack of better term, for he and my daughter were never married], father and custodial parent of my middle granddaughter, was found dead of an overdose of pain-medication.

perhaps oxycontin, though i am unsure of the specific drug at the moment.. he was enduring pain from an accident with his moped [yes, he was lifetime license removed for drinking] that occurred a year or so back.

his shoulder was injured and he had a surgery scheduled soon.

Sorry to hear Jeff. My condolences...

Window Washers

by dontplaceliterature in

question:.

why do i see so frequently the witnesses referred to as "window washers" on here?

i have been a witness (though only recently "conscious") for my whole life.

Quirky1
