Why Can't You See?

by Wolfgirl in

for my abusive, ignorant mother:.

what youve done to me?.

sometimes has it worst.

Wow, that is a heart rendering poem. It hit very close to home with me. My mom would rather wander the streets at times than be with us. An when she was with us, we sometimes wish she wasn't. Because of the rages, when we fought.. she got mad at us. She would always say you should not hit someone smaller than you.. yet she would hit, punch and choke.

My mom was mentally unstable, and us children begged her to get help. The one time she tried it was used against her by my step father and the cycle continued.

So much pain and hurt with all this... hugs ((( Wolfgirl ))). You brought me to tears with this one. Memories can be very painful at times .. but it is like cleansing a wound.

Inactive JW attemps suicide........

by Robinhood in

jw
friends

hello my husband robinhood had been posting our story here and will continue soon!

however, something happened this week that brought out the anger and rage against the jw's with me and i really need to vent.

i guess i got a good look at how the borg is treating the people of sherwood.

Maiden Marianne :

I am terribly sorry to hear about your friends plight. So much pain and suffering heaped upon one person. It just makes me so p/oed that (the Elders) blame him, as if all this is his fault. He has enough on him as it is. He needs to concentrate on himself and getting to a point that he can live a normal happy free life.

My mom was mentally unstable; at one point she actually realized some things and attempted to get some help. What upset me at the time ( I wish I knew then what I know now, Id sue that so called therapist) is the therapist told my step-father information and a prognosis of my mothers mental state. He in turn used the information against her, taunted her with it; and it basically gave him leverage over her. She stopped going to get help and refused to find any other type of therapy or therapist. This therapist did so much damage by her betrayal of trust.

I hope and pray that the doctors that are handling your friends case dont betray certain trusts of information to the Eldership or mother-in-law. They need to be made aware of the situation and that this persons fear is a justified one. That the Elders and people from the WTS and KH are going to do more damage to the psychological well being of the patient. He needs to be stress free right now, he has gone through enough. This is his time to recuperate and make plans for his future. I am sure with friends like you he can find the right path and way to be free and nasty wife free.

Best Wishes,

Xandria

(fade to end...............).

I kind of to agree with Spicey about fading out.... that is why I have not been "on" as much. There is an air of hostility here, lets tear so and so apart for his /her opinion thoughts etc. It is okay to disagree to even fight a bit. But not tear people apart and cause hurt. Even I had disagreement (albeit I am not perfect and nor do I walk on water) I lost my temper. Yet the point was made and we even seen things through each others eyes. So it was a learning experience.

But, I try to control my anger; I realize that we all have issues we are trying to overcome. If I am going to understand someone, I have to have an open mind and listen. I may not like what the person has said, I may not agree with it. But just as that person is entitled to his/ her opinion, so am I.

I have been snubbed, called a troll through an email, etc. Although I have not had the opportunity to get to know everyone here (a majority have been very nice). I sense a lot of undercurrents on the board.

Some of us have come through a lot of trials in our lives and I know personally I will not allow myself to be goaded or attacked. I have had much too much of that in my life. Spicey... I will miss you but will keep in touch. I can understand somewhat why and hope we do see you from time to time.

As the song says try a little tenderness.

Trashing The USA.

by Englishman in

jw
friends

it seems to me that many americans are convinced that europeans are for ever slagging off the usa for some reason or another.. just to set the record straight, america bashing is relatively rare in europe, most of us regard the usa with a not inconsiderable degree of affection.

obviously there are cultural differences between the continents that can lead to feelings being trampled on, but america-hating persons are quite rare over here.

the few real antagonists are very vociferous, but like most fundamentalists, regaded as being completely loony.. maybe the americans who have visited over here have an opinion?.

Xandria

hum I guess I am S.O.L then .. I am part mexican /spanish (father's side) and Scottish/ Irish/ Cherokee Indian/German / American from my mom's side.

I have nothing against any country ( unless they are out to destroy everyone ). Now I have a few questions... what is up w/ Scottish and English food.. is it based on a dare ?

I'd dareee ye to eat it ? Haggis, Scottish Eggs ( like there isn't enough HGH in the eggs), Bubble and Squeak, Spotted Dick, and the list goes on.

I know we have our MickyD's and so on. An have any of you tried our Oh so tempting Southern Dishes ( made w/ Crisco - they fry everything in the south). Possum in a Can.. ooh that conjures up a tempting mental image. Or Jugged Hare.

What I am saying to everyone... despite our cultural differences.. we can be friends.

Xandria

Of the mixed breed class.
