27moral dilemna
by zanex ini have been df'd for a good long time and have gone/going through the different stages of the healing process but i dont think that i am anywhere to giving up all of my deep-seated anger and hostility that i continue to have.
i have gotten attatched to it, ironically enough.
my moral and maybe somewhat ethical delimmna is: i am in a service provider position and i provide translation services for members of a specific community of interest...problem is that a certain person has come into my focus of the world...an elder.......a great many bones in my body want to manipulate and maneuver his life into the palm of my hand....then crush him.

Who has HELPED YOU grow?
by jst2laws inthank you for your encouragement.
i was so impressed when my wife called and told me i was mentioned on the jwd thread "who are the smartest posters here".
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=42252&site=3 i felt bad for the truly smart posters on the board who were linked in any way with the likes of me, and disappointed that not enough credit was given to those as oldhippy, janh, norm, kent, hilarystep, larc, pathofthorns, jt, and hawkaw all who should have been listed near the top with the others identified.

I think EVERYONE here has made a big impact on my growth post-jw life...two who jump to mind are spaznik and LDH are two that, I think, have made an impact...EVERYONE else here has given me a WHOLE lot too..I hate to name names when this whole board has been a big part of me...

zanex
yiz: that information is possibly within my grasp...as my pop is still a very much deaf practicing elder...(restrains gagging reflex) sorry bout that..hard to believe sometimes thats all...anyway, I am fairly sure that that number is drastically high actually...sad to say...I'll do what I can...

jg: yah I suppose that it is more the organization as opposed to the individuals that deserve the anger that I feel. It is just frustrating sometimes...
dia: tact has never been MY thing either but your idea sounds pretty amusing. I think I like it. Definitely worth a try...
scully: yah thats right..he wouldnt think twice about going somewhere else if he knew I was df'd..I do wish Icould screw around with the interpreting but grrr damnnit professional ethics are stupidly restraining sometimes...thanx...that last word..mensch...I know that word...is the word patryn familiar to you? I may be wrong but hey its worth a try..
spaz: spaz, spaz , spaz,....ya always got somethin good to say...yah it is that thought of what my daughter would do without me sane enough to take care of her that makes me stop and go WAIT. I dunno..it just sometimes seems like it would be so easy to just crush this one insignificant little bug of a elder and let go of that anger..but I wonder if that would be successful...it might just make it worse...at any rate...trying to think of him as just a man is a suggestion worthy of an attempt..I'll give it a hack...
kingpawn: ya know somethin..? the possible consequences for messin with this guy are NOT worth it....but damnned if I stop thinkin bout it...(sinister chuckle)

dakta: I did like that story...just HAVING the power to wreak havoc on their lives is something that does give me some type of satisfaction...maybe i can contain it to that...
simon: hmmm ya know for a great many years I thought that there could be no greater pleasure than to manipulate as many jws as I possibly could....I wonder what those years have cost me. You said, "Leaving and being happy, living a normal life is getting back at them plenty" a normal life...I wish I could say that I knew what 'normal' life was. You make a good point but they took from me,that knowledge of WHAT a 'normal' life was.

nelly: u have a lot of faith that I will do the RIGHT thing...you sound as if you have released yerself of a lot of that resentment and anger that seems to predominantly exist within those that have left THAT organization, I am envious. who knows I may just leave the guy alone...I havent really decided yet...
yeru: hmmm gettin up close and personal would seriously test my resolve to not wrack chaos on him...I dunno...I dont have the faith in my "good side" that nelly seems to have...i havent a clue what I am gonna do...I'll keep goin to the assg's and see what happens...who knows!

yah...got a point there...but just for a moment it felt good to be in such power over someone that was such in a control position of rank and file suckers...but a good two cents...it did make me stop and think about the consequences of that type of action...

Is that BAD of me? I just recently met this "brother" I shudder to call him. I dont even really know him...just the fact that he is a jw elder makes me want to grind him under the heel of my shoe...I havent taken any steps toward any actual actions against him but grrrrr....I SOOOO want to...I have some type of professional courtesy that I picked up somewhere...so far it is all that has stood in between of my seething venom and his clueless mask of total idiocy....any ideas..comments...places a good high powered grenade launcher can be purchased?

Financial Help.
by Yizuman inhit my posting limit and am using my second account..... i don't know if anyone can help or not.. but i am in a desprate situation whereas i have to swallow my pride and seek out some help.. i am behind rent as well as my morgage ( i own a moble home on a lot rent).. need food as well.. phone needs to stay in service since i am deaf and need it as part my text communication for hopes of landing a better job.
sister can email me to let me know if a employer calls, so i can drive over and find out what's up from there.. i work at wal-mart and alot of us have our hours cut to 20+ hrs a week, so this is hurting me fianacially.. job hunts is hard since i am deaf since most employers seems to prefer hiring a hearing person.. i know of a deaf friend who is unemployed and he went thru 20 job interviews in a month.
none of them ever called or emailed him to say he got a job.. family can't help since they all have their own problems to deal with.. i can post all the info you need if anyone needs it, such as my landlord's address and my morgage address if anyone wants to mail a check directly to them.

yiz...
hmmm where do I start...first let me validate myself, I have 2 deaf parents..count em, 2. I have read through all of your posts and from what I have read you sound as though you have a strong vocabulary base and a head for phrasing. To be honest...if you ARE deaf and you have that good of a vocabulary then you should REALLY be working somewhere other than walmart...I find it hard to swallow some of your cries for "pity on the deaf person" my parents never even at their lowest would have used their deafness as a way to solicit others' financial resources. Trust me... with as intelligent as you sound It surprises me that you bring up your "deafness" as a reason for not being able to succeed. Both of my parents are degree'd with a father who runs his own college level language translation program. This thread has really hit a nerve with me...use that language ability that you have been given for some better purpose than asking for assistance on a public forum board such as this...
you said in one paragraph that idioms were a difficulty and just a post or two later your mother was "fighting tooth and nail" hmmm tooth and nail eh? Thats quite a mouthful of idiomic english vocabulary...if by some random chance I am wrong then I will be more than glad to retract my statements but I wonder about the validity of your claim to being "deaf". Even if you are, use some other reason to justify your need for assitance. Being deaf is no excuse for not being able to get ahead...
