Here in Western New York we are already on a flood watch. We will not know until 4 p.m. how much rain we are going to get. The worse part is that the eastern half of the nation is already saturated because of all the rain we have had this summer....I am sure my basement will be flooded. I hope everyone in NC are ok.

Update on my son
by shera ini have been still at it to get more help for my son matthew,well his psychiatrist has been doing as mush as he can.he is great!
i will be having someone soon come into my home to help me and my son to learn.i never realized matthew is severe with autism,until i compared him to other children over the summer.i had matthew in day camp for most of the summer.
well,i remeber i mentioned,the last letter i wrote when i was sooooooooo upset.. i mentioned matthew has pinworms and i have a very difficult time getting rid of them because it is very hard to give him any type of medication.he mouths a lot of objects and before you know he picks something up off the ground and in it goes to his mouth.

Wow I can't add to much to this that has not already been said, but I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and your son. Keep venting we are here to listen..it is exhausting to you trying to do it by yourself. I have a chronically ill child, but she at least was always complient. Keep your strength and keep us posted how it is going.

I can't do it anymore.
by Gadget inpeople who've been reading my posts will know i've been trying to get reinstated so i can get back together with my girlfriend/fiance.
the more time goes on, the less i feel able to do that.
all the things i hear from the platform, and the things that elders have said to me just reinforce the fact that i want nothing at all to do with this organisation anymore.

Wow Gadget what courage it has taken on your part to stand up for yourself. I am truly impressed. Many of us lost our family, but it never compromised our place of employment. The only thing that I can say is keep coming back for support. We all need it at times.
YOU ARE BETTER OFF WITHOUT THAT JW GIRL!!!!!!! Go and find some new friends...enjoy your life...get married only for the right reasons...not for SEX!!!!! I am thinking of you.

Who doesn't follow the "politics" and feuds on this board?
by berylblue ini am so in the dark.
i do not know what's going on and, quite frankly, i don't care to.
perhaps there is bliss in ignorance.

Personally I have had enough judgment and condemnation to last a lifetime. I certainly do not need to get involved here. Although I will say sometimes I do read it.

Why Aren't Jehovah's Witnesses Allowed To Freely Express Themselves?
by minimus init's a simple fact.
jw's cannot freely express themselves.
they can't freely tell another about a doubt or a question that they might have for fear they could be exposed to the elders.
-

As was already mentioned..it is all about control by the use of fear. If you speak your mind or be really honest about most things you will pay a price. Whether that be discipline, or even individuals in the KH whispering about you. JW's LOVE TO GOSSIP!!!!!!!! Gossip is a way to prove to others that one is superior over another, one is more spiritual etc. I am just glad we are out.

Ok you guys are simply not fair. I am sitting at work spitting on my computer screen laughing at this poor kid. Geeee talk about a mental image playing around in your head. The first thing I thought of was good thing that kid is not a JW!!!!! Can you imagine the old sisters seeing that on his arm??? The face is to funny to even think about. The poor kid would have to tie it down even if he wanted to wear long sleeves to not offend anyone.
Man I would think for you guys between your legs can get in the way sometimes..I can't imagine on your arm!!!!!! This thread is to funny.
