  It feels impossible to narrow it down to 'one'. Lessee:
  A Beautiful Mind
  Matrix
  Princess Bride
  Natural Born Killers
  Enemy of the State
  M.I.B
  Disney cartoon movies.
  Gone With the Wind
  Star Trek
  Star Wars
  E.T.
  and anything with Bruce Willis in it ;)

  Shaking Hands with Death - Part 3

  shaking hands with death part 3: .

  the angioplasty begins: the cardiologist arrived from the other hospital, and started telling everyone what he needed.

  more medical staff showed up soon after, and the room was insane ... just like on tv ... short tempers demanding this or that device or assistance, people yelling out my vital readings, and i got a brief glance of the operating room door with people in green outfits, head caps, and face masks bopping in and out.

  Amazing - I'm speechless. For you to give such an account of your brush with death was indeed a gift for everyone here who has been keeping up with your story.

  I spent several years as an EMT on an ambulance and dealt with many cardiac calls. I often spoke to both conscious and unconscious patients so they'd know they were not alone, and touch is an incredibly encouraging way of doing that. I saw time and again how it rallied a persons spirits to stay away from giving up. To hear it from the 'other side' was truly inspirational for me. I cannot thank you enough for sharing in that very special way that you do!

  You are indeed, a living, walking, breathing gift. Please take very good care of yourself. You and your family are definitely in my thoughts.

  hugs n love,

  right now my body is half shaven with needle marks and bruises everywhere.

  if i were stopped on the streets of chicago looking like this, staggering with fatigue, i would be arrested.

  something we men have a hard time getting through our thick heads is that just because we feel basically okay, does not mean that we can or should do a lot physically after a traumatic event ... and i found this out by doing a little too much walking at the hospital chest tightened, became out of breath, and got dizzy.

  i was thinking today about all the time i spent on the ministry.. walking down the street with my suit and briefcase ready to defend the truth.. i recalled some of the conversations i had , had.some of the bible studies i conducted, the talks i had given the groups i had taken.. i remmebered the way i defended my faith and belief in jehovah and the jehovahs witness organisation.. how much i must have believed it was the truth.. i spent 3 years as an auxillary pioneer and called on many thousands of people.. yet all along i was wrong.. every time i defened my beliefs i was wrong.. every talk i studied and prepeared long and hard for, i was wrong.. all the things i gave up for the truth i was wrong.. what an idiot.

  When discussing Dateline with my limbo-hubby (we're separated).. I thanked him over and over again for his de-programming efforts in the year that followed my Dfing.
  It scares me how an organization can control otherwise rational people. I don't feel like an idiot - I feel frightened that I was like that, and thankful that I'm now out.

  One more lost soul-boring story,dnt bother reading

  i was raised a witness and spent 15 years of my life trying to make my parents proud of me.

  i was baptised at 11, aux pioneered, was on assemblies etc etc and i succeeded in being the spiritual daughter they wanted.

  i left at 15 and this meant leaving home too.

  Kat - look at your title hon. 'One more soul-boring story..' ??!! Don't minimize yourself like that - please. Everyone's story is unique, just as each person is. After being so abused, you'll go through periods where it consumes you, where you run from it, where you're so angry you could punch holes in concrete, and where you find some peace within yourself.

  They damaged your spirit. You are given the task of finding your way back to 'you'. I use to get so mad because they put me 'here' and I had to deal with the crap all over again in it's various stages if I wanted to find some internal peace. It's a long fight Kat, but it's SO worth it.

  And you have to do this for yourself. After so many years of people telling you to ignore your feelings etc, it's hard to acknowledge them isn't it. Own your pain Kat, and own your healing. Don't minimize what you've been through - that's 'them' talking.

  Thanks for sharing your story kat. One day at time hon.

  i joined this group in february, however had been surfing the various websites that expose the witnesses' lies since being disfellowshipped last august.

  the support from those sites and this board have been invaluable.

  today, i no longer have the fear of having left the organization.

  I love this site as well - am more appreciative than words can say. I waded through emotional mud for ten years before finding this place.

  My baby graduates this month, from high school. After one failed marriage and one in desperate limbo, a decade of the borg and a decade of therapy - I will be going back to school too. I'm scared to death! But I never ran away from a fear yet.

  I love y'all. Yer the greatest inspiration one can ask for, and better friends than I could've ever imagined.

  Love,

  I have a confession to make

  by BATHORY in

  i couldnt sleep tonight, i mean i just went to bed and tryed, but something inside of me forced me back up to write this post, and im dead tired.. i guess i always knew that i did it, even though it fell deep deep into the pits of my mind.. at times ( like now ) when i look back and think " did i really do that " at times i almost convince myself that it wasnt me, it was a story someone had related to me, a scene in a movie that i somehow integrated into my memory and now wasnt sure if it is real or not etc etc.. friggin damb it though, as much as i find relief in toying with the forced denials of it all, and then wondering onto a different thought line without ever coming to a conclusion or facing my actions and dealing with it in an appropriate way......i guess thats what im attempting to do here at 2:20 in the bloody morning !.

  i think i remember touching a girl ( she was 12 ) in an inappropriate way.

  she was the young daughter of the family that were studying with my parents, and during the study i would play with the kids and anyhow.. im sorry if this sounds weird, its late, im tired and with all this talk lately i guess it has surfaced out from the latent annals of my deepest memory.. .

  Bath - a brave thing to acknowledge indeed. Now you realize how victims remember things that have been repressed.

  For your own sanity, you may want to talk to a professional.

  to all those who watched the dateline episode regarding the handling of child molestation incidents by the jehovahs witnesses:.

  your television is now demonized as it received signals from satan himself.

  you must get rid of it immediately.

  Oh pooh! I've already been through an exorcism concocted by those loonies. Although if you put me in a room with JR Brown, I'll become a demon :)

  JW DF'd Over UN Issue Commends Silentlambs

  below is an e-mail i received from a former sister in the pacific northwest.

  she was df'd several months ago for discovering and asking about the un controversy.

  being rather inexperienced with the internet, she stumbled onto freeminds.org (i believe) and printed out info on the wts's un connection.

  This just solidifies that I believe that this cult will sink much lower yet, and its danger shouldn't be overlooked. It's a bloody mafia wearing a spiritual suit.

  love and hugs to the anon lady and her family.
