  MORE BAD NEWS FOR ME......

  by Mary in

  well i went to the cancer clinic yesterday, where i was told not only do i have endometrial cancer, i also have a rare form of it called clear cell cancer.

  apparently, it's a very aggressive cancer and has a tendancy to spread towards the lymph nodes.. i was absolutely stunned when then told me this one..........yep, i don't smoke, do drugs, i'm not a drunk and i don't screw around and yet i get cancer.. i really would like to try the gerson therapy clinic in california, but it's $4,900.00 us per week........so with the conversion from canadian dollars, it would be about $8,000/week and i'd need to be there for at least 3 weeks.

  anyone have about $25,000 i can borrow?

  Sorry....it's been a long time since I checked this thread. I noticed you posed a question to me as to whether I knew Otis or Byron O'Conner. Sorry I don't. I just wanted to get back to you.

  I feel damaged by my experience

  hi to everyone on this board - i have been around reading many of your posts for some time now but have only just felt strong enough to post my own thoughts.

  the watchtower has left me with guilty feelings that i find hard to cope with at times.

  my story in the "truth" started when i was 18 years old.

  Hi, GT:

  Yep...we've all been there. I remember after researching the Net, sitting with my head in my hands, saying "I don't know what I believe in anymore". But you know what? I knew I loved God and Jesus died for our sins so that was enough for the moment and a real good start. I would sort out the rest through research and study in due time ON MY OWN TIMETABLE without the pressure of the Watchtower...THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I am so-o-o-o glad to be out and you will be, too. So hop on board. We're glad to see you.

  Thanks, Myself.

  Joe mentioned one thing that was a final straw was an elder mentioning as a comfort regarding the abused girl "that most girls aren't really affected in such a bad way, that sometimes they enjoy the touching"

  What??? Enjoy the touching? Enjoy the touching? Glad he got that comment in which I'm sure went over well with the TV audience. Let's just see how many Silentlambs we have on this board that "enjoyed the touching". My God, they truly have sick and bent minds.

  How Much is Shunning Worth?

  my jw niece called me last night on the phone.

  she is having a pampered chef party (for those of you who don't know what these are, it's like a tupperware party except they cook a meal and sell the cooking stuff).

  it is going to be at my jw sister's house and all the dubs will be there....including my "best" friend who ratted me out to my sister regarding us celebrating christmas last year.. i am not invited....but my niece would like me to buy some stuff and to make up for shunning me she is offering to give me her hostess discount....woohoo huh?.

  Let's try again. That post really got messed up.

  Ugg:

  with elders that have personalities like serpentsdeadlywith no place to hide.

  Neyank:

  And Im sure there are cases where the elders feel they MUST find something t df an inactive person.

  AGREED. I was gone a year from a congregation when I moved. Should never have gone back but I did like a good lil Dub. The whole pressure mess started all over again with the new congregation. I tried to do a fade but there was no way they would let me . They bugged me to death...phone calls, drop in visits by my over-zealous book study conductor, other sisters. All unannounced, of course. They were fishing for something and couldnt find it so they just pestered me to death. Wrote 'em a letter and told them to bug off (FOR GOOD). And if my friend(?) chose to shun me (which she is), too bad for her. She can be their mental slave. Im outta here cause this is NOT spiritual and most definitely NOT LOVE.
