Oh I LOVE Metallica. Seen them 3 times!!! They are awesome and their new c.d. is killer! The 7th song makes me think of the j.w.'s. It's called *Shoot me again, I ain't dead yet* Anyone heard it? The whole c.d. is awesome. Maybe their best yet.
Lyin, your boys should be okay. Metallica draws all kinds of people. You'll see all kinds of people at a Metallica concert. All the way from Hard Rock Head bangers, to preppy yuppies! They will have a blast. They're not coming to Nashville on this tour so I wont get to see them. =:o(
Let us know how it went!

Russ, you're right, there's not a thing wrong with taking a anti-depressant. I take them and half the people I know take them. I hope you're feeling better today. =:o) I know this isn't a easy situation. Sometimes I get really angry, but I am learning as I get older, that it helps *me* to let go of the anger, it's a struggle sometimes. We've all got good reason to be angry, but what helps me now is keeping my distance and living a peaceful, quiet, simple life. I try to stay away from all the drama that goes on in my family. I use to be right in the middle of it, now I'm learning it's best to choose to forgive, have compassion and always try to be civil if I run into any j.w.'s. Over the years getting angry has only hurt myself. Hope some of our advice has helped ya. Hope today is a better day for ya too! =:o)

Rush, it's very understandable why you are feeling these feelings. My mother and I locked horns many times on our views at times. There was a time when she didn't speak to me for almost 10 years. Long story short, at her death in 1999, we were on good terms even though I had disassociated myself. It was a tough period, but I can say that I am finding peace with things, even learning to forgive her and myself for things, realizing that a person cannot give me what they don't have. Be proud of yourself for standing up for yourself, for showing that you have a brain and one that you are willing to use! I have some siblins that are still in the org. and the way I look at it, is they are hurting too. I look back on our dysfuntional childhood and I can't hate them for the choices they've made. How can I expect them to respect my beliefs if I can't respect theirs. Yes, it's unfortionate that I'm not able to see them, but that's life and I've learned to deal with it, and you will learn to deal with it and be okay. I've got other siblins that I'm really close to. I take what I've got and I'm thankful for that. You are not alone in your feelings. And I've learned it's very healthy and healing to talk about it sometimes. You hang in there and realize that your depression will pass too. Many many people have to deal with depression, including myself at times, but just know that things in life don't stay the same, so it will pass. There are good anti-depressants out there that work well for many people too. My advise would be to just back off alittle, let things settle down, then just lay low and try to avoid toxic situations, whomever it may be.
Hang in there! It does get better, I promise!

Minimus, I'm happy for you! Is your wife's family j.w.s and do they know she is reading coc?
It's funny looking back when we got our computer. He warned me about apostate sites! lol Said that some of them would look like j.w. sites, but they wouldn't be!!! Too funny. I was the first one that started reading apostate sites and when I started, I couldn't stop. I remember reading untill the early morning hours. Honestly I felt as if my whole life had been a lie. Keep us posted on her responce to coc. It opened my eyes.

Do JW couples really have better relationships?
by Latin assassin from Manhattan inare jw marriages any better than the ones 'in the world' as they put it?
when they walk from door to door or mingle after a meeting they appear to be models of ideal marriages.
do you have any experiences with married couples in the 'truth'?

NO I think not.
I can't imagine CC and I going back to all those f******* meetings and field service and *get to gathers* again!
Not to mention the *whole oral sex thing*. Sad. Never again folks.

I'm very proud that I will be remembered as one that stood up and spoke up against the Jehover Witnits. Alot of my siblins walk around and don't dare say anything negative against the Hovers, god forbid , but not me, to this day, if you don't want my opinion on that cult, then you best not ask. When my j.w. siblins see me coming, I swear they run the other way. I honestly think they are scared of me!
