Are You Dealing or Dwelling?
by pettygrudger indesib's arrival thread got me thinking (along with some kind words from special k).. when i first came here, i was so happy to see so many others with shared experiences and issues of the jw's, yet sad at the same time to know that there were so many.
i spent alot of time here in the beginning.
even though i had been out of the jw's for almost 16 years at the time, i found the time i was spending here i was "dwelling" or going back to my own painful experiences.

If it was 20 years behind me and everything, I think I'd still want to help people who are going thru it, where I can. Maybe not daily, but once in a while. I think I'd be a good therapist though, so that's the kind of thing I'm into.
It's all good, I totally agree with you on what you wrote, and especially the above part............I want to help others deal with it, and I want to protect others from getting into it, so they don't have to be hurt like I was.

I once read in one of those therapy books (you all know the kind I mean) that we all have a story to tell.............this story contains all the hurts and sadness we've carried with us.............and, we continue to tell that story, til the hurt and issues are dealt with and gone.............let's face it, we've all stuffed a tremendous amount of abuse and indignity and been repressed for a long time while we were JDubs. We need to share it in an environment that's safe and caring and with others that understand.............my answer touches on the other thread on the board about whether these boards are healing or not............and, my answer is, yes. Even if we went to a therapist, they, unless they have been a cult survivor, will not be able to truly know how we feel. Coming here, I know 100% that you all do understand. You've been hurt where I've been hurt, with the same things. So, my point in regards to the title of this thread is, that I think that it is pretty normal to be in different stages of dealing and dwelling at any given point, and maybe it's not as cut and dried as moving from one stage to the other..................

Seedy, Smyler, I can remember those days! <sigh> I owned my own horse and so, all the shit shoveling, etc. was my exclusive job! I had muscles like a man............could throw 100 lb. bales of hay around like they were nothing..............50 lbs. of grain, up on the shoulder and walk up to the barn........................ah, the good, YOUNG, days................then, at 16, I got a job at McD's..........worked there for 5 years. That job was HARD!! We did all our own adding, etc., no fancy computers where you push a button..............and, we had to keep constantly busy, no standing around. It was good experience, and when I later applied for work, employers were always impressed that I'd put five years in there.

Record some Iron Maiden onto them and drop them off at your local Thrift store. Some thrifty JW will be sure to find them.

It all should have been burnt, where drunk and stoned apostates would have been dancing about with faces painted and contorted in firery flashes, red demon burning eyes wild with nightmarish thoughts, chanting and screaming curses as jehovah and worshipping baal.
Shamus!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!! You're MY kind of guy!!!!
I had my ex come and take all the bound volumes away................and the other shit I threw in the trash, except for the Studies in the Scriptures..........I kept them to use against the dubs, and, I kept my old NWT Bible, for the same reason, and, the Paradise Lost book to remember the images I saw as a child and show to non-dubs.

I feel a surge of deep satisfaction
Much as a king astride his noble steed
When I return from daily strife
to hearth and wife
How pleasant is the life I lead!
Mrs Banks: Dear it's about the children
Mr Banks: Yes, yes, yes, yes
I run my home precisely on schedule
At 6:01, I march through my door
My slippers, sherry and pipe
are due at 6:02
Consistent is the life I lead
Mrs Banks: George they're missing
Mr Banks: Splendid, splendid
It's grand to be an Englishman in 1910
King Edward's on the throne;
it's the age of men
I'm the lord of my castle
the sov'reign, the liege!
I treat my subjects: servants,
children, wife
With a firm but gentle hand
Noblesse Oblige!
It's 6:03 and the heirs to my dominion
Are scrubbed and tubbed and adequately fed
And so I'll pat them on the
head and send them off to bed
Ah Lordly is the life I lead -
