how do you deal with the anger when your parents stop talking to you?
my partner says i should continue to confront them but it builds so much anger in me and i sometimes i think i should just let it go and bring balance back to my own life.
it's sort of sureal to mourn your parents while they are still alive.
I use physical exercise to exorcise the anger demon from me. It starts with playing Slayer on my car stereo during the drive to the gym, then more Slayer on the Ipod when I get there. On days when I'm really pissed off, I lift heavy weights. While straining, I think of whatever it is that pissed me off and harness the energy that comes from that anger.
After the workout, I tend to be a lot happier and more pleasant for people to deal with.
i need a break from the jw-xmas noo-lite stuff ....... .
today my crush was on tv and a quick blush came to my face as i remembered all the silliness i did to run into him when he was attending jr. college near my grandparents....sigh.... so who was yours?
did your parents highly discourage/disapprove such?.
In the 1970s, I was hot for Seka, porn's first superstar, while still a dub. I had pictures of her clipped and glued into my bible so that I could secretly view the material during meetings. Here's an old picture of her:

i am very proud of her.

Congratulations, Glander!

i was an op on several and i had my fair share of banning apostates.

I'm old enough to remember dial up and bbs.
i am well aware that many members of this board adhere to the view that the wt and/or the bible is contradictory.
the question is: if paul grundy is so enlightened as to 'the truth about the truth', why is he so contradictory?.

Recovery,
RE: posting of pms, show us the proof. So far, your claim of permission has been denied by the person you assert gave you that permission. So now the ball is in your court to prove that you had permission to post the pm.
I'm not surprised that you'd run from the child abuse "claims." The WTBTS has no defense to such claims, and everyone who supports these corporations ought to be very ashamed for the harm they have inflicted upon children.

Recovery,
Posting pm's without permission is a pretty sleazy, douchebag kind of thing to do.
I've been arguing in support of tolerance for your posts here, but I think you crossed the line in posting the pms in this thread and owe an apology to those whose pms you chose to post.
I can't argue in favor of tolerance for someone who ignores rules of civility that are commonly accepted in most internet forums.
As for the book publishing corporations commonly known as the "WTBTS" whose interests you advocate here on this forum, I was born in and was old enough in 1975 that I have a vivid memory of the timing of armageddon actually being announced from the platform at our hall. I remember being scared to death that I was not going to be considered "good enough" to survive the armageddon that was in fact predicted by the WTBTS and stated at our hall to occur in October of 1975. Nothing you say will change the fact that the WTBTS was and is a false prophet.
I still remember the condemnation of the UN as the "beast of revelation" and the god-awful pictures drawn by Watchtower artists with the intention of inflicting fear in the minds of the "great crowd" of pigeons otherwise known as "Jehovah's Witnesses." It was no suprise to watch your beloved book publishing corporations get caught with their pants down when they were exposed as being part of the UN as a registered NGO.
I have personally known several individuals who committed suicide because of being disfellowshipped. The pharisees whom you folllow have lots of blood and wasted lives on their hands.
i'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if you die prior to armageddon you won't be resurrected.
please read my latest blog article to find out why this is so according to the watchtower beliefs.. http://smmcroberts.net/blog/you-wont-be-resurrected/.
I'd rather not be resurrected if it means I have to live in a so-called "paradise" on earth, where everyone's a Jehovah's Witness and lions become vegetarians. What they call a "paradise" would be "hell on earth" to me.
No thanks.

The 10/3 "notice of default" is no big deal for anyone. The WTBTS lawyers screwed up by not submitting the record of the trial in exact compliance with the California Rules of Court. They have 15 days to fix that mistake or face a potential dismissal of their appeal (at the court's discretion). It's a small mistake that is very very very unlikely to have a detrimental effect on the WTBTS appeal. They'll fix the mistake since they have 15 days to do so.
A fresh out of law school lawyer at Jackson Lewis is having a bad day at work over this. That's as far as this goes.
