  Hi Simon,
  Yes I have one very beautiful daughter. She is everything I could ever want in a daughter. She is a young teen now and gets in some trouble once in awhile. She has posted here under the name of Discombobultedgirl (DC)
  I adopted her at 2 days old and I remember every wonderful detail of those first few seconds of seeing her. How dark her hair was, and how much of it there was. The nurses holding her and handing her to me.
  Now she is intelligent and is capable of having good conversation with people of all ages. She can be stubborn and strong willed at times, but I'm sure she will grow to maturity as all young people do.
  I love her dearly, and am so very proud of her.

  Women are COWS!

  when a girl reaches the age of puberty or physical maturity, her.

  body has developed in the matter of sex more than in the mind.. young folks like to be together, first in groups, later in twos.. if they have not been instructed by their parents in regard to the.

  permitted, because the female is not in physical condition to breed.. the bull seems to understand this and keeps in his own place.

  If we drive by a field of cows, and moo at them (I'm sure everyone has at one time or another) are we making a pass at them? Or maybe giving a sexual insult?

  Just curious

  It seems at though the women in the Org., are in a lower class. They are repressed. When I was in the Org., I would watch the sisters with worldly husbands. These sisters would miss meetings and go out of town on vacation with their husband to keep peace in the family. Of course the vacation would usually be someplace nice and where the Kingdom Hall might be a little to far away. The sisters would be of the upper class, and would have to go to slightly political functions with thier husband to keep him happy, and the holidays were a matter of conscience for the sister, so she would go with her husband to keep him happy. All the time, smiling and "winning him over without a word". The sisters in the lower class were "shepherded" by the elders with words of warning to stay with their abusive worldy husband, and rely on Jehovah. Just pray to Jehovah and be patient. Of course in the mean time, the lower class sister would be beat, ridiculed, and even raped by her husband. The lower class sister was more likely to stand firm about the holidays and sit alone on the celebrated day. "ALONE" not even the bros., and sisters would invite this one over and keep her company. The lower class sister would refuse to even discuss politics with her husband. This would all usually infuriate the worldly abusive husband and he would beat and abuse her further. Of course, again, the bros., would encourage her to stay and win him over without a word.
  In my opinion, the wealthy sister keeping her husband happy was well balanced, and over time could justify all of her fence sitting. The sister of a lower class would either end up mentally ill, ridden with guilt, possibly dead, or leave the husband, leave the Org., (usually df'd) find a real place in life, gain self esteem and realize they had been repressed.
  If the lower class sister managed to stay in the Org., after leaving the abusive spouse, she would receive no help financially from the bros., and sisters and continue the path of mental illness, and poverty.
  Women that stand up and speak their minds in the Org., are considered rebellious and shouldn't be associated with. Thus, I am no longer one of the meek, humble sisters and have no association.
  Repression is the biggest tool used on women in the Org. The brain washing is amazing. Be a good wife by kissing his a** and you will be the model sister.

  I for one have enjoyed the this place. I was so confused and didn't have anyone to talk to. I thought I was the only one feeling like I was betraying the org. Well, this is home for me. At least until I am ready to move on in my life. I have made new friends and am thankful everyday for that.
  Welcome all you new ones, and I look forward to hearing your stories and reading your posts.

  tears of sorrow, tears of joy

  by Mommie Dark in

  2. friends

  coming out of this religion nearly killed me.

  every single core belief i ever held has been mangled, strangled, drawn&quartered, dipped in pitch and burnt and reduced to carbon ash.

  my mind and heart got buried in the soulquake; a protoplasmic blob of rage of pain of stifled grief was all that remained of the human who was born me in lodi ohio.

  Dear MD,
  I am so sorry for all of your sorrow. It seems as though there is no way to reach out and put my arms around you to comfort you and care for you. I only hope that you feel the warmth I want to send to you now. Take care. There is love and joy, just sometimes very difficult to find in so much darkness. Please keep in touch. Let us know how your sister is doing.

  Pass the red wine for me

  tonight, i would have attended the memorial, if my witness daughter had asked me to go.

  during the two previous yearly occasions, i was inactive, but i went with her because it seemed to mean a great deal to her.

  she has either given up on me, or the event does not mean what it once did to her.. i was thinking about another memorial, one i would rather celebrate.

  Seven,
  I am a third generation survivor of physical and sexual abuse. My brother and step-father being a few of the abusers. I ignored a lot of my feelings and made it into the adult world, and when I was 32 adopted my beautiful daughter DC. My brother had the nerve to say she wasn't really family. So, I disowned him. I didn't look back. My mom gave DC my brothers address. Without my knowing it, she wrote to him. He called me today. I don't think DC knows how much she did with that one letter. I am still working through a lot of the emotion on my own since I have no other family to just sit with and say everything I need to say. I guess bottom line, the org., helped me to suppress so much emotion. It's what Jehovah wants us to do. Forgive and move on. Now I still don't feel anything about the apology and I should. Maybe I'll feel it tomorrow.
  I am so thankful for all of you that care and respond to my posts.
  I look forward to the future, getting married and getting away from the org. Having a life.
  so, that's the beginning of my story.....

  Excuse me, but I must tell you another side to the subject....
  Today my brother called me and apologized for molesting me 30 years ago. He was crying. He sounded very sincere, but then he said he didn't want his wife to know. It would ruin his marriage. Then I began to wonder, what kind of effect does he think it had on my life for a long time? Now I question his sincerity. I want to beleive him. We haven't talked for 13 years. So why did he call.....
  Confused......

  Hey Jez,
  Be assured that Discombobulatedgirl is going to have every opportunity to find good friends. She will only be asked and directed to find young people which influence her in a positive way. I have been encouraging her to find activities in which she will at least with a good group of Non-JWs.
  Thanks for your help. I enjoy reading the posts.
