  Monster - nice to see you again! Not only has Simon been catching hell, he's also been catching a hell of a lot compliments and well wishes.

  I'm a hard core well wisher! Thanks for starting another positive thread.

  Thank you Simon - for riding out the crap/hell/bull/whatever you wanna call it! Now go and hug Ang!

  WERE YOU TREATED POORLY IN THE CONGREGATION?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  when you were associated in the congregation, were you treated in a way that made you feel like you were a 2nd class citizen?

  how were you regarded?

  were you the brunt of criticism or were you pretty much well-liked?

  I was tolerated or eyed with suspicion. I spent time with the spiritually weak aka depressed and I asked questions. I also put my children first - ahead of anything else. I remember going out for service and I was that last person chosen.

  Eventually an elder came to the conclusion that I bewitched men. I was also quite young to have two children (19), so those my age didn't want to be with me cos I was married with kids; and the older ones didn't want to be with me cos I was younger - with kids. I just never fit in, except for being there for the depressed ones, which of course, was looked down upon.

  my global statement

  by lauralisa in

  2. friends

  i am so off this planet.. i have had so much therapy in the past, i dunno, forty years, that it makes me "sick".. i have learned to speak in cognitive-speak.

  i have learned to think in cognitive-speak.. i have survived jw-endorsed "therapy": a jw-sanctioned therapist in northern virginia who could "cure" dissociative disorders in just a few sessions.

  she learned this technique from the "society" and therefore, did not charge for her services.

  Lauralisa - sweetheart, you emailed me when I didn't think I could make it through the night. Please check your email. It's amazing how people who are hurting can still find it to help others who are hurting. You are so right, we are alike.

  I hope this is a reaching and venting post. I more than hope. I know what it feels like. That's why I'm worrying.

  hugs sweetheart, we hope to hear from you soon

  Oh goody. God only knows what agony little Danielle went through, and Westerfield will get a sterilized needle and go to sleep.

  I say set him loose in the general inmate population and let nature take it's course. Dude needs to know what it feels like to be prey before it all goes dark.

  Well, I was wrong - about the weather that is. It appears I am still living in hell. Saw my doctor, got my meds, chatted with folks I didn't know and barely made it up my street at the end of it. It appears that mother nature thinks we should now grow gills to adapt to this humidity.

  I'm taking the night off here. I'll be somewhere else with AC and no kids to referree. That being said, I'll be back. This place is home and I consider my lesson learned... don't touch the flames cos you might get burned! Hmm, a childhood lesson takes on a whole new meaning.

  Your replies continue to overwelm me, and I will be replying to emails - just not tonight. Bit of a migraine here, and as I look outside, the sky is turning very dark. Perhaps the mother of all thunderstorms will hit - now that I've got the chance to get some AC, mother nature and her bottle of 151proof will cause a power outage. (come on... gotta laugh at the possibilities here )

  I will touch base with you tomorrow and I will carry your thoughts and words with me 'til then.

  You really have helped me, and I want each of you to know that.

  After I posted, rather, reached out last night, my daughter swooped into the computer chair. I was tired and went,again, to my bed, where my big ol' dog Deigo was snoozing. I snuggled up beside him and 'hung on'.

  I made it through the night - and today I awoke to cooler weather and a broader realization that I am not alone while going through this.

  Reaching out is often terrifying. My worst fear? That no one would notice. I am, again, overwelmed by arms and hearts reaching back.

  I'm still tired, and I have a doctor's appointment to go to. I will try to reply later on as I have a bus to catch.

  I believe I made it through the night because I knew that by following the cardinal rule of reaching out - and reaching out HERE, I'd be held in some way.

  I have come to adore all of you so much -
