  Circumstances change your attitude.

  i was sitting in my swing in the back yard yesterday enjoying the beautiful day and watching the birds as they courted, pecked the trees, and sang.

  it was heart warming to view the creation.

  then a robin flew over to the tree above my head and i said no, don't crap on my head.

  i'm just curious, what is everyone doing in this area?

  i understand there may be a period for 'clearing' if you've only left recently, but i hear that many are pagans, some are christian so i just wanted to get an idea.

  thanks.

  Hang-ups about sex

  by jelly in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i have not really thought this out yet but i was thinking after reading another post.

  what exactly did jesus say about sex?.

  the only things i can remember about jesus was that he revealed his messiahship to a woment that had multiple husbans (lovers), for married men to not lust after other women, and in his linage was a former prostitute.. .

  depression and why JW's don't reconize it

  by nogs in

  well as you know unless you are an elders son or daughter generally jw's don't lift a finger to help all those ones feeling downtrodden and lonely.

  i felt like this from july 1994 to march 2000. i prayed to jehovah constantly for help to ease the loneliness, i begged the elders and even others.

  for a long time the only ones who would talk to me where the elderly ones(who i miss now since i left) i cried every night and felt after five years of being at meetings and feeling invisable (even though i was an auxillary pioneer) i decided that my life was worth fighting for.

  the title of this thread was one of the stumbling blocks of my study.

  as a single full time father(with no time for dating)of a soon to be tenage son this was a major point of imprt to me.

  the point came up during a discussion on porneia(sp?).

  i asked my therapist if it is possible for a patient to be re-traumatized during the course of treatment.

  confronting memories over and over again.

  painting mental images even more graphic to replace the vague ones i once had-is this a good thing?
