  hey guys, hamas has admitted to me he could not keep away from this board -- this is actually a serious question -- i have found i have become addicted and just can not stay away or stop posting -- every morning and evening -- sometimes at lunchtime -- and certainly most weekends i come on this board -- am i normal?

  is it just me and hamas or are there others out there addicted to simon's damn board?

  How many have left the WTS and joined another church/group?

  by BLISSISIGNORANCE in

  2. friends

  at this point in my life i don't think i could trust any religious group.

  i don't even feel the need to be a part of anything like that right now, and maybe never will.. but i know of some who have joined other churches/groups since leaving the borg.. why do some join another religion and why won't some ever get involved again?.

  what makes us so different?.

  How bout a of tea and a rocking chair to smoothe your feelings. Support you in taking care of yourself and to honor the times needing to be off with yourself . Its vital to walk through the course of ending relationships.

  If you like I can burn a green candle (healing ) for you?

  Ending Relationships

  by oldcrowwoman in

  1. watchtower

  "it takes courage and honesty to end a relationship---with friends, loved ones, or work relationship.. sometimes, it may appear easier to let the relationship die from lack of attention rather than risk ending it.

  sometimes it may appear easier to let the other person take responsibility for ending the relationship.. we may be tempted to take a passive approach.

  instead of saying how we feel, what we want or don't want, or what we intend to do, we may begin sabotaging the relationship, hoping to force the other person to do the difficult work.. those are ways to end relationships, but they are not the cleanest or easiest ways.. as we walk this path of self-care, we learn that when it is time to end a relationship, the easiest way is one of honesty and directness, we are not being loving, gentle, or kind by avoiding the truth, if we know the truth.. we are not sparing the others's feelings by sabotaging the the relationship instead of accepting the end or the change, and doing something about it.

  Sorry Happy whatever you posted does'nt show up. square box with x in the cornor.

  The other piece for me with ending or not ending relationships hits my abandonment issues. I personally don't deal well with people going away and not say anything. I can handle it when its direct. I may not like hearing but I can respect it. And move on.

  I've had experiences those feelings on this site. All of sudden a person I had a connection with leaves and not knowing why they left. With certain people allowed myself to be vulnerable sharing parts of my story. I have to work on myself with my shame. I realize it has to do with their stuff.

  But it does'nt change the feelings.

  This thread is an ongoing issue with me. I had mentioned before, I am closing with a 8 yr relationship Womyn's spirituality group. Eight years is a long term relationship. I have received many gifts and healing over the years. Its time for me to move on.

  I have a meeting with one who orignated the group. To check when its a good time to pull every one together to make the closure. This is a huge piece for me right now. I have alot mixed feelings. Saying good bye is never easy.

  In my past my way was this John Wayne image riding off into the sunset and leave relationships up in the air. No closure.

  True their relationships that have faded for me. An those for me lack of committment or maybe it was'nt healthy for me.

  There are no right or wrong way in endings. Whats important for me is closure and I prefer it to be clean on my part. People who come into my life were teachers, to teach something about myself. They are mirrors of self.

  For me the building blocks were therapy, treatment for alcoholism, sobriety support group, and various support groups for abuse issues. Gave me tools to work with in life. To be quite honest if I had'nt taken responsibility for self. I would not be here chatting with you today.

  Always seeking ways to empower myself. The biggest one was participating in the SilentLambs march in New york. Sharing my story, breaking jw laws like walking into churches, taking $5.00 to a casino. And the machine took it. lol but the sky did not fall in on me!! Supporting others. Donating money for exjw causes. Spreading flyers for SilentLambs. The list goes on !!

  Shamus sounds like you are channeling your energy in the right direction. I admire your spunk !!!!
