this thing that was my mother.
this thing that was my mother, so withered and blackened now,.
was once so kind and loving, but things have changed somehow.. remember when you'd hold me, and soothe my childhood fears?.
This is my first poem. I wrote it tonight. My dad was really good at it. I've never really thought about writing like this, but I've seen some excellent poetry being posted lately and wondered if I should give it a try. Sorry for the sad tone but It made me feel better to get it out like this. I guess you could chock this poem up to being part of my recovery.
Now I need to come up with something happier to write about. We'll see.
Thanks for looking,

This Thing That Was My Mother
This thing that was my mother, so
withered and blackened now,
was once so kind and loving, but things have changed somehow.
Remember when you'd hold me, and soothe my childhood fears?
You'd help me with my homework, and wipe away my tears...
You loved and fed and nurtured, with fierce maternal protection.
I always felt the warmth of your enormous motherly affection.
I thought it would last forever, but your feelings took a turn,
Now you say I'm dead, because of things I've learned.
You threw away that love you had, you tossed me in the trash,
and now where your heart once was there is an empty gash...
From inside my trashcan, I feel my wounds and mourn.
All your love and goodness, replaced with hate and scorn.
It hurt to lose you mother, you meant so much to me.
I have to let you go now, I'm healing and I'm free...
Goodbye Mom.

beards have been talked about a lot, especially with the recent wt article, but what about other types of non-mustache facial hair, like goatees chinbeards and soul patches?.
in my own experience i've seen a white young man with big handlebars and a soul patch run mikes, do literature and give talks not too long ago.
i saw a black older man with a sizeable soul patch as the focus of one shot in a jw.org video about an annual meeting a few years ago.
I wonder why there is a slot on that JW Match form that tells whether or not he is a smoker? I thought it would be a given, considering it's a dating site for JWs.

i just frightened a jehovah’s witness lady half out of her wits!.
i just frightened a sweet jehovah’s witness lady half out of her wits.... .
she took off like a sprinter at the sound of a starter pistol!.
I can hear the tones....Dee dee dee dee dee!

i am going home, yet not without sorrow;.
for too long have i been adrift.. there was no place to call my own nor .
anyone to take me in.. the price i paid for careless days of youth.
Sorry CoCo. Right after I posted I saw that there were other poems. I like your poetry btw.

good morning everyone.
well, just as our family was finally all out of the org., getting back to being the family we once were, one of my family members recently went back in.
i won't give many details that will give away my identity.
Hey BeautifulMind. My condolences on the situation. It must hurt. It just goes to show the family member's character is weak. Wishy washy.

please post your favorites too.
my favorite quotations:.
you cannot change what you refuse to confront.. sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.. don’t think of cost.

with all of the bat-shit crazy propaganda of late, i'm considering talking to my wife about the cult.
we have had zero religious discussions for two years.
the last discussion ended with ,"you have no beliefs, no personal beliefs, because you change your "beliefs" when the wtbts writes an article.
Hey Data-Dog. You did a great thing texting your daughter like that. I wish my own father would have stood by me in such a way. It would have meant the world to me. I am rooting for you.
