  i seem to recall someone talking about having the list of points for the weight watchers point system diet.

  my sister and some of her co workers are planning on going to a weight watchers free meeting.

  i told her of course the will have you pay up , and it is not that expensive, but i told her i might can get the information from someone on the internet.

  I would change just one thing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, losing my mom at 18, just when I needed her the most.

  I think if I had to just choose one, that would be it, because of losing her, so much of my life was altered. I wonder what I would have been like if we could have had closure on the past problems at home. I wonder what she would be like to my kids.I wonder if she really loved me,,,and I would like her to be able to show it. I would have loved to see her stand up to my dad, to all the elders and tell them to all kiss her,,,, well you know. If she would have stood up for herself,,, she could have stood up for me when I really needed it.There are just some things you always want to talk to your mom about. So many things in my life are have been downs are so trivial next to losing her.

  I just have to throw this in,,,, I wish I would have never been raised a JW. I wish I never would have raised my children in it either.. well, I hope to make it up to them for that .

  WOW!!!!

  And pictures............. this is exactly the way I pictured it to happen, with you walking out with your head up and proud. I am proud to call you brother, so are all the silentlambs out there, and the many more that may get help from some dear soul still in the JW, who will follow your lead as a pioneer in standing up for the victims. I know not all JW's are evil..... so hopefully , by what all you have done Bill, this is not by anymeans the end of your work. It is the beginning, the openning of closed eyes, ears and hearts. Most JW parents really love their children and now they will at least be on guard to watch their precious children. Even when I was a faithful JW, my kids came first, I knew about child abuse from some that it happened to and I was always careful with my kids. I learned to trust no one. Sad but the way it has to be sometimes. Even if they try to stop you, the issue is snowballing and can't be stopped. You started that Bill, and you are a hero to many. Denny and I disassociated ourselves and it was announced last Thursday night. After all of this in the media about the child abuse cover ups, I am glad to be free from an organization that is so full of lies, and deceit. I hope you find your place in your new life being d/f , it hard to leave behind your whole life's work, but I think you will continue to fight for the cause,,.. because there are many out there that are listening to you..............Stay strong Bro. Bill.

If anyone out there has the information, these ladies would be grateful to not have to go to the WW meeting to just get the basic idea on if they want to join up. Thanks ,, you can email me the info if you have it, and it isnt too much trouble....to [email protected]..

  Cassi, I thank you for reminding us of this sad time for Windchaser. I think you are a good role model for all us , to keep in mind those who need support in certain times. You have inspired me to make a thread for Beck,, she is having a hard time today especially.

  Cassi for someone who has been thru so much lately, it is admirable that you are still so concern with others in their time of pain, even thou you are in quiet much pain yourself.

  You are one strong lady, and I hope you keep getting better after the surgery. I hope to meet you face to face soon, kids are in school so I can make it to shreveport in the days better. My old man would love to have lunch with us , so if your old man wants to have lunch that would be cool. I have chatted with you hub a few times and he seems very understanding to the issues of JW childhoods.

  Thanks again, for being such a wonderful friend to Windchaser in her time of need and you are an inspritation to us all on being such a caring person.

  Hugs, Dede

  Oh , thank you so much for making it so easy for me to see the interview. I am not good with computers but you made it simple , for a nit wit like me................I loved the interview, it was very well put. It made me want to ...... I dont know... I am just angry!!!! I know of others who were abused and that shame that a grown up or in this case the elders make you feel is just more abuse.

  Thanks again for putting this up, I missed it the first round and couldnt stay up till 3am to catch it, when my hub (wild turkey) gets home I am sure he will want to see it.

  Dearest Beck,, so sorry to hear that today was the day 15 yrs ago of your loss. I remember you told me about this in an email and I cant imagine the pain you must be feeling on this day. My mother committed suicide on September 15, 1985 and that day always brings up the pain as if it were yesterday. It even starts weeks before the actual date of her passing, sometimes I just don't see why I am so edgy and nervous, then I look on the calander and remember it is that time of the year again. Another reminder is that sometimes around September the nights get a little cooler and the leaves begin to fall,,,,,,,,,, fall was her favorite time of the year. This year I plan on something special for September 15,,,,,,, I am not sure what exactly , but since leaving JW I have finally admitted to myself the part that the JW had in her death. Even thou it was by her own hands, she was d/f for only 4 months when she died, they never once tired to help her and she , by her final exit , left a message to all that she was in pain. They didnt even care then. Well, I dont care about how they feel anymore,, this year I will mourn my mother in the way the WT never let me, even thou it has been so many years. But being out a year and seeing what the WT has done to the child abuse victims and to ones who are victims such as those with emotional problems and suicide victims, it is like a fresh wound to me.

  I hope Beck that you are able to mourn in the way that you should, I wish I had answers for you as to where our loved ones are,, I can only dream they are watching us and sending us some kind of peace. This year since I left the borg, I have had a strange sense of peace regarding my mother, that I never had as a JW. ....makes me wonder if she is trying to tell me something,,, I don't know, just my experience .

  I could have emailed this to you beck, but I thought that you deserve hugs and love from the real family that you have here,,,, we meet here in this site, but our love is worldwide. I am sure all of your friends here would like to have a chance to tell you how much they love you and send their sympathy. It is not good to go it alone,,,, I know I did that for way too many years. You have us and we will be thinking of you throughout the day.

  Love ya Beck,,,,,,, my favorite aussie,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Dede

  That is so sad to hear about your son. It just makes my blood boil. I am in the process of watching the Connie Chung coverage(thanks to TraumaHound) . When I heard that Ms. Chung was covering this ,, I knew this was another milestone in the cause agaisnt coverups in the JW handling of these matters.

  Very interesting what your wife and others are saying. If I were still in I would have to at least have a doubt about the goings on behind the headquarters and locals elders doors. Even when I was a witness, I would have beleived these people who have said they were abused. My mother always told me "where there is smoke , there is fire". I have seen in my lifetime that that is usually true.

  I hope that the faithful JW's at least get their eyes opened even just a bit,,,,,,,,, it is a start,, the start of the downfall of the might WT....

  God, I am so glad I am not associated with that group anymore, I couldnt hold my head up out in service. I wonder how they go door to door and asked about these matters.

  "Is it raining, at your house, like it's raining at mine?" OMG that is one heck of a song,,,, he surely is the voice,,, does anyone remember the one about the garden, I seem to remember a country video of it,, I think his wife passes away, and leaves a rose garden or something. I think it was Vern.

  But darn,,,,,,trying to watch my language here........... that song that tink said,,,,,,,,, i could listen to it everyday and never get sick of it.
