  I am so sorry you and your son are dealing with this. So many of us have faced similar issues with relatives. Basically, they are showing your son very conditional love. If he is a good little boy, and goes to meetings and studies, he can still be accepted by them. Of course he resents that...any thinking person would. If you are able to explain to him what they are doing to him, it may help. Understanding something is the first step in dealing with it in a healthy way.

  As far as trying to reason with your parents, you of course are free to try that approach...I personally think it a waste of time. You will not be able to get a JW to reason on anything.

  As for your son, besides your support, it might be very beneficial for him to have therapy...or at the very least, speak to a doctor about symptoms of depression and possible treatments. Please do not overlook it and hope it will go away in time. The sooner he gets help, the better. It would also be great if you could encourage him to develop more friends through school...activities, sports, clubs...whatever he has an interest in. He needs to see that not everyone thinks like JW's, and that he can have friends who accept him the way he is. I wish you the best with this. We have three teenage boys, and they have all undergone therapy in the last 2 years. BEST thing we ever did for them...besides getting them out of the borg.

  What I've learned during the past year

  by kevin221 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  1. life can suck, so you either have to face it, or get out of the way.. 2. love heals anything and everything, end of discussion.. 3. people are amazing.. 4. some people piss me off.. 5. i piss some people off (and i enjoy doing it).. 6. god does not exist, but angels do.. 7. the most vulgar word in the english language is cancer.. 8. reality is just a frame of mind.. 9. fundies are people too, but for some reason they don't think i am a real person who is capable of love and true emotion, and i can't figure out why.. 10. current jw's are wacko and xjw's are even more wacko, but at least the xjw's make sense.

  (and i mean wacko in the nicest sense, at least for the xjw's :x ).

  just my .02. kev.

  Kevin

  Great post, your comments were short and to the point, but I found them very insightful. Especially your description of fundies and how they view others. I know this year was a very bad one for you, probably the worst you will ever have. But it brought you here to this board, and we had a chance to get to know you a little...and I for one am appreciative of that.

  My wish for you is that 2002 bring more healing...as the passing of time always does. That you find others to share your love and laughter...not to replace Jon, because no one ever can, but to remind you why it's good to be alive. That peace and good memories are what fill your home. I am glad your life experiences brought you to this board and gave us all a chance to meet you...and hopefully enrich your life in some small way as you have ours.

  Ginger or Mary Anne?

  by crownboy in

  1. jw

  no doubt one of the most ask questions ever.

  no matter what age you are (in my case fairly young), you've seen gilligan's island, and heard the inevitable argument (especially amoung men), who do you prefer better: ginger or mary anne.. well, i decided to bring the debate here to jw.com, see if there's an (ex) jw consensus on the issue.. my personal favourite is mary anne, by the way.

  they were both very attractive, but mary anne's personalty was more down to earth (or naive) to me, and i find that more desirable.

  Gee guys,

  I go away to work for a few hours and suddenly we've got referees, shoelace bikinis OUCH and now I have to hunt for my big paddle.
  Vacations are just getting too complicated these days.

  Xena, we can do the mud wrestling...the mud does not cause the ICK FACTOR, it is being in there at the same time as my sister.
  So, for that we will have to take turns. And bikini tops are optional, actually they're just a waste of cloth...but the bottoms are essential! Can't have that mud getting into unwanted places.

  this is the internet, simply put, none of you know anymore about who the other really is or should judge them by the lack of emotional smiley faces in their sentence structure.. first to danny,.

  we have spoken on the phone and exchanged a few emails and i consider you a good friend.

  you are much like alan in many ways and in others very different.

  Hi Seven,

  Nice to see you back, I was wondering how you are? How's the quitting smoking going?

  BTW, nice post. I will kiss both of them if that will help them kiss and make up

  Oh Dana

  Not that old jealousy song again. How many times have we "competed" before? Just a couple? And dammit, if memory serves me right...you kicked my ass. So I concede already....mkay?

  BTW, Xena told me that she would be happy to visit both sides of the island.

  DANA

  I intentionally left your name out of the lineup for the island thingy because, as you've told me before inviting your sister to a possible orgy just takes the

  ICK FACTOR

  way too high. So there Any questions?

  P.S. Jayhawk, as long as your real name isn't Bubba you can come along too

  Forget Mary Ann or Ginger,

  I'd like XENA on the deserted island with me any day!

  Come to think of it, Harmony, Bitter Mango, Riz, Outnfree and Ginny Tosken would probably be a lot of fun too. We can't take Mommy because she will keep trying to tell us what to do and we can't take Tina cuz too many blondes makes for too much competition

  P.S. Don't any of you tell FreePeace about this post ok?
