Just a few random thoughts here as my head is in a turmoil now. Do you know what I really wish at this moment? I would love to lay my head on someones lap and have them stroke my hair. I do that to my daughter as we talk and it seems that has such a calming affect on her.
My thoughts on friends at this moment is UGHHHHHH! Do you have to agree with your friends 100%? Do you have to support your friends even if they are wrong, in your opinion? Are you required to choose between two friends that are fighting? Are you obligated to relay messages that another told you in confidence? Is it okay for a friend to accuse you of doing these things just becaue they are fighting with another friend? Is it worth losing a friendship to have a disagreement? Do you have to like the same people?
Do you realize the emotional turmoil that a person goes through when they are asked to do any of the above? Do any of you realize how emotional a person is 10 days before giving birth anyway?
You know when you meet someone, even online, you can judge their character. You then decide if this is a person you want to be share space with. Over time and after much has been invested in a relationship you are obligated to fulfill your side of the bargain aren't you? I mean if you are a friend, then you shouldn't just drop that friendship as soon as one disagreement comes up. This is JW thinking, don't agree with them so I will not talk to them.
Believe it or not I don't like all of my friends qualities. I accept them and love them for who they are and what they are willing, and able to give. I do not expect a child to start walking before he is able, so why should I expect another person to do something they are unable to do. Actually I try to do this with everyone I meet. I try to understand where they are coming from, and make allowances based on that. Nobody is perfect, least of all me, I have more hangups than a telephone salesman. There are very few I have met in my life that I have written off. Very few I saw their true character, was repulsed by it and gave up on them.
I cannot imagine going through life being skeptical of all people. I cannot imagine seeing deciet in another around every corner. I would rather wait until the ball drops on my head and be crushed before I accuse another of doing something wrongly. Maybe I am just wishful thinking. I realize this is not a perfect world, we are all troubled in our own way. I do not want to be cynical. I want to be optimistic, yes I will get disappointed...but who cares! I will be happy before I am disappointed.
But dam nabbit I am really upset now. I guess I realize how come people are always upset when the flame wars start. It is so unsettling to see people you care about fighting with each other. I think I will join Andi in the closet covering my ears and rocking back and forth.
Please do not attach these words and random thoughts with anyone here. I am alone here in NY without my "real' friends in NC who I can bounce this stuff off. Plus it is really late and I didn't want to call anyone.

SAVE ROE NOW!!!
by Valentine indear friends of reproductive freedom,.
george w bush and his right-wings friends are quietly pursuing their domestic agenda while the nations attention is focused on international terrorism.. bush's attacks on women's reproductive freedom continue.. examples;.
1. on his first day in the oval office,bush re-instated the global gag rule,which takes family planning funds from organizations that even mention the option of abortion to their patients,risking womens lives overseas.. 2. bush has promised to re-visit the food and drug administration's approval of ru-486.and anti-abortion forces in congress have already introduced a bill to limit it's availability.. 3. with the expected retirement of 3 supreme court justices ,including sandra day o'connor,who is often the critical swing vote on abortion rights issue,bush has made it clear that he will nominate the most adamant opponents of abortion and civil rights.. the bush administration is committed to strategies that limit life saving stem cell research,criminalize abortion providers,reduce the availability of birth control and deny funding of health reproduction education in the schools.. what better way to take on the christian coalition and ultra-right leaders and movements,than to use your voice to speak up now!!.

Okay I am agreeing with Shecky on this one. No sense trying to add a bit of logic into Rhett's brain. Rhett I wish you the best, and hope one day your heart is softened.

Be nice to Larc, Prisca, & Refiners Fire
by Amazing inin recent weeks i have been stunned at how larc, prisca, and refiner's fire have been treated and maligned so badly ... it is just unbelievable.
these are good people who have good views, opinions and express themselves well ... they are supportive when folks are down ... and it seems they certainly deserve much respect.
thought that they need to know how much they are appreciated.

Larc:
By the way Amazing, I thought your quotes from Tina before and after Amnesion were classic. All Tina could do was go, urmuph urmuph.
Amazing
lets hope that they will move on ... and may they prove to be as nice as they claim they are
Who isn't moving on? Let it go guys The only way to stop it is to stop talking about it.

For those who've left - any regrets?
by starfish422 ini left almost nine years ago at age 18; my only real regret was that i was good friends with a young brother and i never said goodbye to him, or even let him know that i was planning to leave (had to leave my parents' home secretly while they were at the meeting one sunday; they had such a hold over me that i could never have stood up to them and told them beforehand).
.
i have no other regrets about leaving; i'm am now happily agnostic and so thankful that i found the strength to break free.. anyone have any similar regrets?

I had a period years ago where I thought if the JW's are right I am going to die! So I started to study again, I am really grateful I did. I know if I did not I would always have a doubt in the back of my mind. After studying and realizing that this religion is a snare and a racket, I am now able to have no regrets whatsoever.
One thing though, along the lines of what others have said. A girl I grew up with died tragically 2 weeks ago I could not go to her funeral, and cannot express my condolences as I want to. Her death was really a shock for me she was only 21 and very close friends with our family. I regret not fitting in, but that really isn't my fault. It is a burden to carry though, especially when things like this happen.
