I'm glad you're alright. I've been to accidents where people didn't wear their seat belts - they didn't walk away like you did.
Take care of yourself. And tell Murphy's Law to take a hike ;)

Aftermath re: Pieces of me
by Mimilly ini was really touched by those who responded to my story.
since posting it however, i have not felt like the strong person those who replied made me out to be.. between posting my story, wanting to post my story at silentlambs, and the pure bullshit the wts is spewing and causing those honest souls who risk and are feeling the wrath of the gestapo to protect victims, i haven't slept; my nerves are on a raw edge; my migraines won't go; i'm on the verge of tears out of the blue; i'm afraid of nightfall; i'm afraid of noises, of phonecalls, of mail.
i'd kick the crap outa my heavy bag if i had the energy.

Between posting my story, wanting to post my story at silentlambs, and the pure bullshit the WTS is spewing and causing those honest souls who risk and are feeling the wrath of the gestapo to protect victims, I haven't slept; My nerves are on a raw edge; My migraines won't go; I'm on the verge of tears out of the blue; I'm afraid of nightfall; I'm afraid of noises, of phonecalls, of mail. I'd kick the crap outa my heavy bag if I had the energy.
Right now all of my energy is put into not taking it out on my girls-(they must remain as unscathed by my experience as possible), not snapping at anyone, not taking a knife to my arms, and reminding myself of all the good advice I've ever given anyone in a similiar situation. In effect, I am presently frozen in the moment of breathing, of 'this too shall pass'. I'm really pissed that this never really goes away, but that is no excuse for giving into it.
It's a time of 'shit, here we go again'. (cue the song 'memories')
I know I can't possibly be the only one feeling this way with what is going on with silentlambs. I've no doubt there's alot of others doing exactly what I'm doing now. Just breathing.I saw the thread where silentlambs has invited ppl to a candlelight ceremony. I'm asking that those who cannot attend to hold one of their own, remembering those who live and cope with this, as well as those who took their own lives because of it.
My experience is by no means unique. I really wish it was.

silentlambs pr/candllight vigil-- invitation
by silentlambs inthere will be a press conference on the courthouse steps at 10:00 a.m. on may 24, 2002 this press conference will address questions raised by jehovahs witnesses concerning the conduct of leadership in ignoring the cry of child molestation victims within their organization and their attempt to excommunicate those who support them.. at 5:30 p. m. there will be a candlelight vigil held at wilson cemetery, foust-sledd road and highway 68, for the purpose of offering support to all silent lambs.
a silent lamb is described as an individual who has experienced child molestation and those who support them that suffer due to actions of people who claim to represent god.
the public is invited to attend and participate if they wish.

JW needs another disaster!
by astroboy ini'm a new poster and i know this subject has been touched on many times before after 911, but its amazing that a terrorist act that killed so many seemed to inject a little spark in many jws.
my jw brother (mini-servant) called the morning of the disaster and his first words to me was "i'm glad i'm on jehovah's side!
"...duh what does jehovah got to do with that!

Well, we all know that no matter what happens in the news, the borg will use it to prop up their prophecies.
For example - If those hijacked jets had of hit the WTS bldgs, they would have said, "Oh dear, it is sooo near the end. They're starting their all out attack on Jah's chosen ones." Only difference is the R&F would've been out in force and very visible in that example.
They're gonna twist things to suit their sick ideas, be it chickens that cross the road in Siberia or mass murderers looking for revenge.
Talk about mind control! -

Cowboy! Thanks for the awesome website! I love this stuff. I don't know the guy's name, but he was on the Discovery chan for his life time's work of collecting and looking at sand around the world under the microscope. I'll be looking for that on the net now, and will let you know if I find it.

Is THIS the CULT of WT destruction ?????
by alliwannadoislive inperhaps i'm getting a little battle weary but i'm beginning to understand why certain long-time posters have bowed out from this forum and taken a long break from participating.
i've been here a while but don't post very often - when i do, it's usually because something has driven or inspired me.
i recently posted a genuine response only to get a (to me) sarcastic swipe back - this upset me somewhat and has had me reflecting on it over recent days.

Isn't life solo flying? Just a thought. But I did want to add that what makes me want to hide is the gut wrenching realization of how deeply the borg has affected so many people. There are days when it brings back way too many memories. I can't see it being any different for everyone else on the board.
You said you have found so much comfort and support here - that's the ticket. This place is definitely therapy. And give yourself a pat on the shoulder, cos you did a productive thing in opening up about it, instead of letting it seethe and grow inside.
Frankly hon, after life in the borg - solo flying isn't so bad ;)

Alliwannadoislive - Your sincerity definitely rings out loud and clear. I'm relatively new to this board, but there are times when I need to 'shut down' and take sanctuary away from thinking. (I think way too much, and I analyse way too much) Add that to caring alot about people as individuals and it can easily lead to burn out.
What it all comes down to is Live and let live. There is a place for everyone here. The cross section of experiences, beliefs and coping mechanisms makes for enlightening and humerous give and take.
Don't allow someone elses smart remark to tear you down. You never know if someone has had a bad day, isn't feeling well, etc., so these remarks will continue to exist. (I, by the way, do not know of the incident you're speaking of) I find it helpful to remember that even though we may think we 'know' people here, we are not walking in their shoes.
Continue with what you set out to do. Take a breather - yes, if you need to. Are people here hate-filled? I don't think so. Are they responding to their experience - yes.
Keep on caring - your heart is always needed. Just remember to Live and let live.

WTS Hypocrisy Digging Their Own Grave WT 6/15/02
by Reborn2002 ini received the 6/15/02 watchtower in the mail today.. for those that do not know, 2005 is the new predicted end date for this "system of things.".

Reborn - I don't know how you can stomach reading the stuff. More power to ya. I think my blood pressure rises everytime I see that crap.
They really must live in a cloistered world in NY. Same old, same old, same old. Blah blah blah. However, considering they use the scripture of 'no one knows the day or hour' - perhaps this will be a wake up call to those contemplating thinking for themselves. We can only hope.
