I just said one today, A friend said "That tastes like anus." And I replied "How would you know." ba-da-bum
I also like the saying "The more you stir shit up the more it stinks". Egads! Are you noticing a theme here?

vi was one of those jw's that was an absolute angel.
i never gave up on them because of people like her and my mums other friend of 20 odd years, chris.
she's a legend too, only suffering cronic fatigue!.
VioletAnai,
That's very sad that you and your mum have lost someone so special. I was just telling my daughter today, who was having bossy friend problems, how very rare and special it is to find a true friend. And when you do find one you hang on to them for dear life. I feel that even though your friend has died, she is still with you in your memories. Treasure those memories.

this one is for those on this board that continue to read the bible.
i know there are many on here that dont.
i still do, though not very often, and i dont accept everything written as straight from the mouth of god.. one thing i discovered after leaving the witnesses was that the bible is actually an interesting document and not some terribly difficult tome that must be explained every step of the way.
Thanky kindly Gopher. I'll mosey on down to the local bookstore and take a gander at what they gots down thar. Maybe if'n I started actually readin' the dern thing I might get lernt. But I just can't seem to get past all them begats.

i'm interested in knowing how many are still in the clutches of fear and guilt and what have you doing about it.
i'm also interested in succes stories.
your thoughts and actions will help others to free themselves from these destructive seeds resulting in a better and a happier life.. .
Guest77,
For me it comes in waves. I'll be fine for a while and then all of a sudden a wave of doubt (not necessarily fear or guilt) comes over me. I'll start thinking about something the JW's taught me and I'll start to think "Well, how else could that scripture apply other than how they have interpreted it?"
The way that I'm handling it right now is to gather as much information from as many sources as I can so that "I" can come to my "own" conclusion. Not have someone "else" tell me what conclusion to come to. But the waves are still coming and who knows if they will ever go away. I can only hope.

if i'd known i was going to live this long, i'd have taken better care of myself!
My husband wants to know why would somebody be videotaping someone taking a dump. I think he was more disturbed by the video than I was.

did anyone watch????
i thought is was ok for the first one.
i love survivor though.
Wonderwoman,
I admit it, I'm a survivor addict. I love the setting for this one it looks really beautiful. I would have voted off Miss Cleopatra, I mean Come On!!!! She had nice fake boobs though.
I MISS BIG TOM, HE WAS MY FAVORITE SURVIVOR OF ALL TIME.

andi no.
i hate it.
i do want your opinion, even if its about my hair!
Andi,
Interesting subject and one that I deal with on a daily basis. It seems as though I am surrounded by negative people. From my mom, friend, son and a little boy I babysit. And since I am an armchair therapist. I am constantly trying to figure out why these people love to wallow in negativity and self-pity. And as Dr. Phil says they must be getting something out of it. Which I think is "attention". I call it the "feel sorry for me song and dance". Your Grandma sounds like she has that and also maybe a bit of a control issue. She probably didn't like your haircut because you didn't run it by her first and get her "glorious" opinion.
I think a lot of bad behaviour's like that are the end result of things that have happened in our life. And they are a sort of coping skill that continues with us even after the bad times are over and done with, but it's like a bad habit that we can't shake. It takes a very aware and open minded person to get to the point where we can get rid of negative coping skills and gain positive ones. I'm proud to say that after years of therapy and a lot of hard ass work both my husband and I are able to see that the glass "is" half full. And Andi you sound like the kind of person I like to surround myself with, I can't wait to meet you someday.
Cheers,

i dont know if this is good or bad and i'm intersted in opinion, comments ect.
my one and only real goal in life is to make sure my kid is happy all the time.
i dont mean literally every second cause thats not possible but i mean from now until hes an adult i want him to have everything that i didnt.
Flower,
I sounded exactly like you when my son was young. He's now 12 and boy, I wished I had done some things differently. I did spoil my son and it is coming back to bite me in the ass in a big way. My son is not very independent, because I did everything for him. He thinks the world revolves around him. He's very self absorbed. I wish I would have taught him to roll with the punches more. That life is not always fair. I wish I would have taught him to be a more giving and compassionate person.
Unfortunately it's so much easier to look back and recognize what we should have done. The best we can do is go with what feels right, it may not be perfect, but nothing in this world is.
I do think that getting him out of the critical, holier than thou attitude at the KH is a good thing. There's very much a "we're better than everyone else" vibe. And I think that thinking rubbed off on my son. We've only recently stopped attending, so my son still has alot of JW thinking. Especially the critical, look down your nose mentality.
It does sound like you're on the right track.
