oh, and if this sounds good to anyone out there, ill volunteer first. ill be your fading buddy.
pm me, im all ears.
big hugs to everybody from grumblecakes!
i searched to see if there was already a thread on this but didnt see one.... .
i was thinking about this weird-a@# struggle we have all found ourselves in and one of the worst things about it is not having a soul in the world to talk to.
we find ourselves isolated from those who know us best, those we've loved dearly and the new people we surround ourselves with could never begin to understand (non-jws).

is it crazy to suggest a buddy system. having at least one person to REALLY talk to? someone a wee bit more tangible? (kinda like how in AA they have sponsors? while still preserving anonymity of course)
from a newbie's perspective, its daunting to post youre issues out there to everyone ("what will they say? will any one say anything? maybe i shouldnt bother them?")
has this ever been attempted or suggested?
i know others have posted on the original thread.
several people, including myself, would like to do something concrete to show our concerns re: his treatment by the jw, and how important he was to all of us here.
i suggested a handwritten note, on behalf of the whole community here, flowers, and perhaps a donation to a charity that helps people get back on their feet.
oompa, i wish i couldve known you.
oh, what they did to you. i have no words.
rest in peace brother.

"In fact... (evil idea generating here) A person could make a very simple version, like a two-sided stuffed doll, using a set of stencils and an airbrush.
HEY!! Maybe we should have a "replicate the Sparlock the Warrior Wizard" contest! We could post pix!!"
Awesome idea!!!!!!!! YAY! Imma go buy some clay, and try to sculpt him.
Who's with me? A little arts & crafts time???
i suddenly realized that this board has the same methods at its disposal as the watchtower and it will use them.
and there's no appeal.. i am so saddened by this i feel like killing myself.
this was my last refuge of being able to discuss things that are on my mind.. and now i see there is no hope.
Awwwww Mouthy, thats so sweet!
Can I get in on that? (eagerly holding up both little fingers!)
I miss having a Gramma so much!

so we had spent years building our "theocratic library" of bound volumes, books and other materials.
personally, i boxed everything, taped the boxes closed and threw them in a dumpster at a construction site.. i did actually feel bad though.
that was a lot of paper which could have been recycled!.
HA!!!!
still technically in yet all mine goes in the big recycle bin at the local community colloge age soon as i get it. im still "in" yet other then the BARE essentials (for meeting), i have no "library".
