  is forgiveness overrated?.

  if i'm being completely honest with myself, there is a short list of folks who i haven't forgiven.

  I think it depends on the issue at hand.

  I think it is rather arrogant to hold somewhat minor issues over someone elses head and not "forgive." It is not necessary.

  If you forgive, to me it is the same as accepting an apology or correction of a wrong, and then not being angry anymore. You have to be OK with the situation to truly forgive, because you have gotten over it. It doesn't hurt anymore. But if you still hurt, then, it is definitely not a forgivable item unless the other party performs some kind of satisfying action to make those bad feelings go away.

  Keeping my shields up is wearing me out

  sometimes i find myself carefully monitering a persons body language, whatching for instinctive reactions listening carefully to thier words.

  just jws and some extended family, and almost anyone i do business with.

  not out of fear but to find out if there is a selfish motive or agenda.

  Botz, if you do a search, there are some threads with pics. Chris O'Donnell is one of my favorite actors. Coco, is that you? Or is that an actor from another "generation?" Sorry could not resist. Coco, you must be a real looker!

  I do not know who some of the other actors are that people are referencing, I will have to google.

  Once in a while someone will tell me I look like Kristen Bell. I had to google who she was too.

  well what about what the gibbering body wants you to think?

  if you have your copy of the december 2010 asleep magazine entitled "the truth about christmas" i invite you to take a look at the subliminal messaging in the picture on page 7. if someone could scan it into this thread that would help too, but i'll be descriptive about what the picture entails.

  setting: 8 people in an office building at a christmas party.

  if you've read some of my previous topics you can kind of get an idea of where i am right now.. i'm still living at home.

  i just turned 22 years old.

  a couple months ago i confessed my true feelings and beliefs to the elders.

  Maybe the elders have some glimmer of hope for you? Maybe they are softies and don't want to wreck your life while you are having doubts, etc. Don't want you to be more bitter?

  As for your mom and dad, it seems weird to me. Are they strong JW's, or more liberal? Maybe just ask your mom. Or is it the elephant in the room?

  i'm impressed with sophisticated thinking on this site.

  after all it is an ex-witness site.

  i wonder what changed in the former witnesses.
