  Now that ditty by WAR is going through my head...

  Call me crazy, but I think the fact that I got *seriously* physically chastised as a child for making "worldly" friends has had lingering effects...

  Dear mom,

  for years i have wanted--no, yearned and longed for-- your approval.

  just a small pat on the back, a quiet smile, or some tiny gesture from you that i'd "done good.

  " but i wonder if i'm not wasting my years in frustration and in endless hoping for what probably is never going to be.

  A big, big step you've taken there -- very moving.

  "They loved to talk about sex and insisted on having relations with me. It was shocking. I was married. I did not want to be unfaithful and told them so. It did not help. Once an invisible force overpowered me, touched and squeezed my body, and even bit me. I felt wretched."

  She actually summoned the spirit of Wilt Chamberlain...

  SUFFERING IN SILENCE

  by MerryMagdalene in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how many of you tend to suffer through your heartaches, worries, illnesses, or anything else that gets you down----alone----while wishing that you could reach out for a little reassurance, validation, affection like you see "others" do???.

  i only ask because ever since i was a kid that has been my tendency and, even though i am not suffering anything right now, i can't help but think of those who are.. why do we do it?

  are we afraid of what people will think of us?

  Yeah...I guess sometimes it is better to "suffer in silence" around certain people. For example, I now try to avoid sharing anything negative with relatives who happen to be JW or who still have the JW mindset -- I'd rather suffer in silence than give them the ammunition/satisfaction to say "That's what happens when you leave Jehovah." Even though I know it is pure b.s., I don't want or need to hear it right now.

  hurricane katrina victims in houston, texas were "underprivileged anyway" and life in the astrodome sports arena is "working very well for them," former first lady barbara bush says....

  2. friends

  i have read comments on several threads about the wts policy on asking folks whose homes have been repaired/rebuilt by jw volunteers to sign over their insurance checks to the wts?.

  is there any kind of paper proof of this policy anywhere?

  any further details would be kindly appreciated!!.

  so i was doing my paper route today and i was admiring all the different colored glazing balls that people have in their yards.

  i like gazing balls and i plan to get one for my yard.

  but i wonder, what is the point of a gazing ball?

  MY STORY PART TWO

  2. experiences

  sorry this has taken some time to compile but here it isthe second instalment of my biography.

  as with the previous it is difficult with writing it not just because of the content but primarily because its difficult to try and retain the chronology correctly; i believe i have stayed true to how and when things happened but might have a few dates and times mixed up as this hasnt been at the forefront of my mind for some time.

  please accept my apologies if these inconsistencies are apparent at any point.. .

  I'm so glad you were able to rise above those terrible times, Diamondblue.

  there is light at the end of the tunnel and no the light isn’t a freight train coming towards you.

  I'll try and remember that. Thank you for sharing your story
