one more topic.. my wife just called up to tell me that she was over my parents before a doctor's visit, chatting with my mother, when my crazed jw father threw my small 14 year old brother down the stairs and punched him for not wanting to study.. i've been beat, thrown down stairs, had potted plants thrown at me, chased around the house, and such, for not wanting to do the family study.. this is what the "truth" does to people, all you loyal jw's....take note...... (i'm so angry i'm shaking).

ashi.

p.s-my father said he was leaving my mother--oh god, pretty please, you motherf**ker.

Julie

Hi Ash,

I hope you do not consider me a "detractor". I didn't mean to imply your brother has a "I deserved it" view, obviously not if he has called for help.

I have read your posts and commented in my *first* reply that you're going about it the right way.

My second post replying to what Naeblis said was merely general observation regarding many abuse cases.

Sorry for any misunderstanding.

Regards,
Julie

only if you're lucky.. here's hoping this is my lucky night.

Hi Kevin,

You said:

:I went to see my parents and no one even wanted to talk about Jon with me. This was the first time in 8 years that he wasn't with me for a trip home and they all just acted like nothing was different. Mabey I just take things too personally but that just really ticked me off,

This is actually more common of a human behavior than one might think and it really has nothing to do with hard-heartedness or insensitivity. In reality Kevin your family is completely ignorant of what to do so they do nothing. They also may be a bit fearful to discuss it too. I am afraid you will really need to rely on someone else to help you through the roughest spots of this sad situation. Surely you and Jon had at least one mutual friend who you can count on for this?

Just try to realize that your family cannot help you because of their own inabilities. It is not a lack of love for you or a disregard for your loss, inasmuch as it may appear so at times.

Wishing you all the best,
Julie

LOL Farkel, you must have been reading my mind! Lately I have recalled some of the funny little parodies that got done occassionally on h2o and wondered how much fun it would be to do on this board. I'm glad someone else thought along those lines too. Good one.

Julie, see the OTHER possibility

by Derrick in

in another topic, julie stated a possibly ironic outcome of our quest for everlasting life: "wouldn't it be funny if it turned out that we get one life, no immortality, and all these people wasted their whole lives fighting about who was right or wrong about the details of an immortality that doesn't exist?".

in a universe where all things are possible, consider another possible outcome: wouldn't it be funny if it turned out that a higher intelligence exists, is planning an infinite future of good times for humanity, to the awesome delight felt by all these people who spent their whole lives searching for the truth?.

julie, if you're out there, stop selling yourself short with negative "what if" scenarios.

Well thank you Danny. The improvement in your reading comprehension has been duly noted.

Hi Naeblis,

Well your taste in Hockey Teams is for crap but you have your moments of brilliance in spite of that disadvantage:

You said:

:I can't agree with you. It's not so simple to leave it in his hands. His mindset can't be normal and what's "fine" to him is not "fine" to people that aren't being knocked around.

Amen to that my friend! You are so on the money! In a sad story I know of one sibling was abused much more than another. The lesser abused one has confronted the abuser. The abuser then turns to the abused for "back up" defense. The abused, still trying to curry favor with the abuser calls the sibling insisting "it is ok", "I was a bad kid", "I deserved what I got", etc.. Apparently there was no reasoning with him. I also understand such thinking to be common. Isn't it horrifying to think of the incredibly low self-esteem this represents??

You also said:

:Right now he's probably thinking if he forgets about it it probably won't happen again, or he'll be more careful next time.

You are right on the money again my dear Naebs. Textbook victim thinking, "it will be different this time".

You clever boy.

Warm regards, (BTW, Go Wings!!!)

Hi Derrick,

I thank you for trying to encourage me to think along the lines of what you consider to be positive. You urge me to believe in a Higher Intelligence who plans wonderful things for us humans and I can't help but wonder why this H.I. would have let us humans know such misery in the first place.

I also wonder, if the H.I. created us was it really for the sole purpose of worshipping this H.I.? Or would it be a more enlightened reason like to learn and grow from our mistakes until we have learned all there really matters and grown to our fullest potential? See now if the answer is the first then I would consider that Being to be an ego-maniac, not a Creature of Enlightenment. If the answer is the second then that would about negate the bible and all it's horrible judgements and punishments for errors.

As to people who spend their whole lives "searching for the truth", wouldn't it be interesting if indeed there was a judgement day? People who were non-religious but were good people; the kind concerned with the Greater Good, lived and appreciated their lives, made a positive difference while they were here and expected nothing more than the time they were privleged to enjoy on the earth, were the folks rewarded with "an infinite future of good times"? Completing the irony would be for those who were so concerned with getting more than their precious time on earth and knowing and worshipping the Higher Intelligence best so as to insure this "infinite future of good times" to get nothing for being so selfish. I say selfish because if there is a H.I. I should think it would be insulting for us to be less than satisfied with this life and great place in which to live it. How would you feel if someone gave you a fabulous gift and they barely took notice of it cause they were busy anticipating the next one you would give them?

I see no hopelessness in one lifetime on this earth. There are so many ways to achieve immortality (of sorts) in this world and the ones worth striving for all share the common characteristic of doing the right things for the right reasons. I like to think a Higher Intelligence could understand my reasoning and be unlikely to consider it something worth "punishment" or "eternal death".

But hey, that's me........

Regards,
Julie

Who goes to heaven?

by Rev BII in

the resurrection of life is the one the saints get in rev 20:6. the rest get a resurrection of judgment, not life, and on earth.

>the rest get a resurrection of judgment, not life, and on earth.

Julie

Wouldn't it be funny if it turned out that we get one life, no immortality, and all these people wasted their whole lives fighting about who was right or wrong about the details of an immortality that doesn't exist?

A fan of irony,
