  Allerting Therapists about Dateline show

  by Wounded Heart in

  1. social
  2. current

  i know this is last minute but it came to me last night that it could be very beneficial for all therapists, pyschotherapist, pyschologists, social workers, doctors of all kinds to be made aware of the upcoming dateline show about jws n abuse.

  speaking from personal experience, how the borg handles the abuse accusations, etc is very pertinent to ones healing.

  just a thought anyway.

  thanks in advance!

  Hey Term,

  howd you like Count of Monte Crisco? I LOVED it!!!! i wonder if its a true story? havent been able to find the answer to that yet. i missed the 1st 5mins (i was late). i want to see it again on screen and am planning on getting the dvd too. the sceenery was soo awesome!!! i love the ocean and the field sceens best. man, i could just imagine being in that grass and swimming in that ocean...i wish i could for real. just soooo beautiful. hope you enjoyed it as much as i did.

  cannot wait to see ENOUGH, Death to Smoochy, The Rookie, and a few others whose names escape me. OH! one of the previews for an upcoming movie (thriller/suspense) stars Robin Williams---it looks totally AWESOME!!!! i cannot wait for it to be out! missed the name tho.

  saw Panic Room which was very good. not as scary as i thought itd be.

  Murder by Number was good BUT it should have been a USA or TNT original movie and then it would have been great. just wasnt worth the money but i did enjoy it--Sandra Bullock is good as always.

  some really good movies have been released or about to be released it seems hard to chose which ones to see. i usually treat myself to 1 or 2 a week. sometimes my young cousin and i see something too. its so nice to be watching movies again (after many years of not going to movies). esp to be able to watch R rated ones without guilt!

  thank you for the heads up on Fraility and The Sweetest Thing.

  happy watching to all!

  When to expect CO visit?

  by ChakkaConned in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my understanding is that when a co comes for a visit to a cong., the first day he reviews the pub records, etc.

  is there a certain day or day's during that week that he accompanies the elder's to specifically call on inactive ones?

  is there a set schedule or time that the co follows during his visits for this?

  my suggestions would be:
  ~~screen phone calls thru answering machine both the week before and week of his visit.
  ~~hide car in garage (in my case it would be parking up the street a bit instead of in front of the house).
  ~~lastly, IF i decided to answer the door, i would do so as scantly clothed as i felt comfortable and politely (or not ) tell them they should have called ahead.

  at this point, they are NOT going to get a hold of me. no way no how. they had their chance. they blew it. but thats just me. i wont give them the satisfaction.

  anyhow, just wanted to share those ideas with you. at least you have a few weeks to decide if you want to meet with them.

  good luck on whatever you decide!

  hi Ken,

  i really enjoyed reading you express your feelings about your daughter and how you tried to express them to her. would it be possible for you to express these feelings in a card and mail them to her? or maybe you could print out a copy of this post and send it to her? as a daughter of a father who never expressed himself (til mom died 8yrs ago), i must tell you that it would be a treasure for your daughter to know how you feel. when mom died, she left my bro, dad & i, strangers really, alone to deal with each other. we had to force ourselves to learn how to express our feelings to each other. it took time but it is time well spent. i know from experience. i always knew my dad loved me. but, well, it certainly doesnt hurt to hear him say how much and why and so forth ya know? its the same between my brother and father. they had to learn to express themselves to each other too. actually, to clarify, we had to learn to express ourselves beyond "i love you". my brother and i were fine with each other. but with our dad, well, he never really talked to us. we knew he loved us, but it was just words really. now its more. weve always been huggy, "i love you" people--just the way our family is. but now we really communicate. anyway, i just wanted to share my experience with you. and truly, if i was your daughter, and you, say, emailed this post to me, id print it out for the world to see. congrats for having such a wonderful daughter! you obviously did a great job! keep up the good work!

  Toilet Seat Up Or Down??????

  by ladonna in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  we have no problems in our relationship about the toilet seat.

  but others seem to make a big deal as to whether the guy should leave it down for us ladies.. what's your take on this?

  take into account ladies that if a man puts it down, and we leave it down, he has to always be putting it up.

  everything definitely down. because ewww! on animals drinking out of it! plus it looks best overall.

  seriously tho, both seat and lid should be put down because it is a saftey hazard for small children/toddlers (as well as some small pets.) just like buckets with just a few inches of water can kill babies/small children. children do not have the balance nor the ability to pull themselves out the toilet/bucket if they should fall in. so please make sure to keep both seat and lid down regardless.

  and if its just you and your SO, well then, go out and buy one of those lights that stays on if the seat is up...the only way to shut it is if they put the seat down. then theres no more fanny washes for the ladies.

  oh, and, a relative of mine once was going to the bathroom in mid of night. could hear strange squeeking noise. a rat had climbed thru the pipes up and into the toilet bowl. good thing seat and lid were down. she decided to hold it for the rest of the night. i would have too.

  food for thought.

  hey ballistic!

  good job! just found this post. wanted to add my 2 cents worth. ive read that coffee (i think its more than just the caffine) should be stopped too until you are past the rough times. theres some chemical reaction between the nicotine and the caffine and whatever else and can make it hard to quit. so if you drink coffee its best to give that up for a short while. as well as any caffinated drinks. just to be safe. and as someone mentioned, drink lots of water. actually, if at all possible, double your water consumtion. but be ware of your potassium levels. cause when you flush out your system you can lose alot of potassium. you might want to take a supplement or just increase your potatoe/banana/ect intake. you will know that your potassium is off if you have mental fatigue and difficulty concentrating. i talk of personal experience of potassium level problems. DISCLAIMER: im not a doc or anything like that. just someone whos friends have been thru stuff like this.

  sending positive thinking and strength your way to help you thru this! you can do this!

  hey larc, how you doing? good to be posting on one of your threads. havent really been posting much myself...mostly just reading and trying to keep up with all that goes on here. that in itself is a job and a half! lol. hope you are doing well. :::smile::: now, as for your question....

  hmmm, youd think this would be easy but....being DID(MPD) kinda makes it a lil' more difficult.

  Citra is awesome.

  store brand cola (somehow just better than Coke or Pepsi)

  Orange n Grape n very rarely Strawberry for the inside lils/kids

  but overall, we are currently really into flavored Seltzer Water. Polar or store brand. doesnt really matter much which one. we esp like lime flavored.

  oh, and occassionally, we like IBC Cream Soda or Root Beer! ICE COLD! very very refreshing!

  and our all time favorite to drink is just good old fashion water! nothing like it.

  man am i ever feeling thirsty! lol.

  We're not wrong, right?.............

  Flower and everyone who has taken the time to share their thoughts,

  thank each and every one of you!!!! this is just what i needed! words cannot convey the feelings and the surety that i have felt just from reading this thread. for those that are not familiar with my story, i am DID (used to be called MPD). because of the multiplicity, there is a constant struggle within about our decision to not be part of jwdom. there are still some within that feel that we are making a mistake in leaving. but we are feeling more confident about our decision. you all just have made so much sense. the hipocrasy is just too much to handle and thats why we left (our bio has the link to where we posted our story). its our father that makes us doubt ourselves. not that hes a biblethumper. just that hes old and alone and still holds on despite the fact they treat him like shytt. but reading your responses and feelings and LOGIC has really helped alot. thank you for taking the time to share what you have. its just the dose of REALITY i needed. thank you. thank you so much.

  i probably shouldnt but im gonna share my "public indecency". tho very few end up actually seeing me. i have this habit ive aquired. there is a stretch of state highway that doesnt have street lights. its aprox a 20-30min stretch. the only lights are from the cars and the tractor trailers. well, whenever im on my way home from my friends' house i take off my shirt and bra and go, all-natural until it hits the lighted area again. the best time is winter time. i turn up the heat full blast and put a few windows down...between the temp and the speed of the car...well, the feeling is very, um, exciting to say the least. i guess its just my rebellous side showing? lol. im hooked on doing it too. but this is my only experience so far. i am still waiting to skinny dip. just havent had the right conditions yet. but it WILL happen.
