Movies you are ashamed to admit you HATED!

by gilwarrior in

for me i am ashamed to admit that i hated "black hawk down.".

everybody told me that is was this great millitary movie.

i know that it was based on real life, but i was so bored i actually walked out of the movie and i don't do it that often.. also i hated "gladiator.".

Sabine

No shame here, I hated everything with Julia Roberts in it!!! Her stupid giggle/laugh just makes me want to.....

Handling anger badly

by Billygoat in

jw
friends

last night neil and i snuggled up on the sofa to watch a movie over a left over dinner.

we had both worked late and were tired.

we wanted to just relax and not think.

Wow, I blow around once every few months (my poor family). Well, considering I'm on the verge of menopause, I'm still carrying around alot of anger (feeling powerless after my daughter's death) and I'm a very passionate hispanic, it happens.

What I think is helpful is to immediately admit what you did, and apologize. Think back as a child, if only our parents would have said they were sorry (and meant it), it would have made a huge difference. Neither my Mom nor Makena's parents ever, I mean never, said they were sorry for anything. Neil is so understanding and sweet, just keep owning your behavior. Also, try to stay conscience of your level of being tired, overworked, etc. I am guilty of not always being "present" or conscious of my emotional state, till I blow of course.

Big hugs to you both, and kitty too!

Here is the reply I got back:

I don't know what to say about the evil cult thing except I stand by
what the bible says and no other religion has taught it. I think it's
evil to murder, persecute & torture people for their beliefs, which
JW's have been. Plus the world religious scene speaks for itself on
the true evil out there. I'm really sorry you feel that way but that
is your choice. I stand by Jehovah and his organization.

I prefer to think of you, ***, ******** and *******(my daughter that died) in fonder and happier
times. I know you guys are doing what you want to do and wish you the
best. *********

After the suicide death of my daughter this "sister" was one of the few to stand up for me, question the elders constantly on why we were not being helped. Finally she moved, thinking it was a "local" problem. It hurts, but I am surprized that I am able to not take it personally. She knew and loved my daughter, what an incredible person she was, and she saw how our family was basically kicked in the teeth while lying bleeding in the gutter by the local elders, yet the indoctrination is so strong....

Goodbye dear friend, another one on my list of loved ones to mourn and miss...

I am posting this also for my husband makena. He is on a business trip right now in a state where his best JW friend lives (mak studied with him and unfortunately brought him into the cult). He emailed this friend that he would be in his town and could they get together, and there has been no reply. He has "come out" to this friend recently, but there has been no response. I know he is hurt about it, and I just wanted to say how sorry I am we have to go through this....love ya honey.

Remember the group America? The music wasn't anything memorable...it was the "experience". I was in my early 20s, wearing a white tube top and lace up jeans, with my sister-in-law (then best friend, now not on speaking terms), and we were at the Greek theather in LA, and we just had a few beers and danced through the whole concert, in the dry, warm Santa Anna winds....that innocent youthful joy, that was what made it special.

If you could have one date with anyone, who would it be?

by obiwan in

i've thought about this, the problem is there are so many wonderful choice's, i don't know where to start!

i always had a thing for tiffany, the singer, when i was younger!

Sabine

I'm an old married woman, but date doesn't have to entail being unfaithfull (cuz I'm very happy in that department, if you gets my drift) so...I'd like to date a non-celebrity that was tall, very dark, manly not boyishly handsome, very well read and someone passionate about sharing his ideas but not overbearing, or condescending, willing to listen to my input.....AND a great dancer!!! Doesn't look like I'll be going on a date real soon...
