  the noble fir.

  the fir tree stands silently in the corner of our living room: proud, erect, strong.

  even unadorned, it is beautiful.

  Wow! That's a lot to be going on at one time! I'm really sorry your having to deal with the horrible "C" word...as I call it.

  You're completely right about the unloving hypocritical religion. They are more them happy to kick you when you're down :(

  Welcome to the forum, you'll find great advice and wonderful listeners here.

  QUESTION: What To Do When Public School Does Not Take Report of Indecency Seriously

  by AudeSapere in

  2. child-abuse

  a (non-jw) woman that i work with has a daughter in public high school.

  last week, the daughter walked in on a male teacher watching what seems to be a soft-porn scene on youtube.

  she witnessed him unbuckle his belt and then appeared to be masterbating.. this occurred on school property while students were still onsite.

  my lovely daughter played in her orchestra's concert tonight, in spite of her father who tried to make her feel guilty about it.

  he went to the kh tonight, while my youngest child and i went to listen to joyous music played by the local kids at our town's school.

  my girl was front and center and she did a great job.

  How fun for your daughter!! I'm glad you supported her wishes even if your husband wasn't thrilled about it. It looks like he's the one that missed out.

  I truly hope you try your best to look at the good your doing by sharing your testimony. The fears will always be there but try to push them back while you share your truths and do so remembering these people truly want to help you and help the future victims of such crimes.

  I say this after recently reading through a essay my 18 year old daughter wrote about her experience at age 11 in the witness box. Having to face her abuser along with a room full of jurors and spectators. Some of the things she wrote she never told me before. It was heartbreaking and yet very healing, she knew at that very young age that it was necessary to face that very uncomfortable day in order to stop it from happening to someone else.

  I think people like yourself and my daughter are so brave, to put you own fears aside to help others is very commendable. I hope you find some healing from what you are doing.

  Started the day with some blueberry waffles at 10 am because we love to sleep in now. Then did some Christmas shopping ending the day with my husband grilling up some dinner since it was still pretty warm today. I love our weekends.
