Need Advice

by scumrat in

since dis-associating myself in 1998. i have been trying to move on with my life.

it has been difficult because my family has nothing to do with me anymore since they dis-owned me.

over the years they have popped into my life whenever they felt like it, unannounced !!!

Two of my siblings have been horrible too me all my life they arent dubs but what I did was tell them NEVER too call again or write or contact me and if they did I would get a restraing order. <they have serious issues>

If you don't want someone in your life you have that power, build some boundaries for yourself and don't back down. People like that smile their way in to kick you in the teeth as they leave

Is Farkel Really Farkel

by Farkel in

jw
friends

so many people have given up families and careers, sold their homes, given away all their money, abandonded their children and are searching for the truth about this most important matter, brothers and sisters.

this is a most serious issue in these "trying times" that we need to resolve.

after all, jehovah is watching us, and we simply cannot piss him off now, can we?

Sparkle Farkel ...that is what we can call the real Farkel

My apology

by Yizuman in

jw
friends

i apologize for offending and upsetting people for my stupidity and paranoia that i had reacted wrongly over a thread where some kind and caring people was looking out for me and i responded unkindly to the thread with the thinking i was being made fun of because of my bad situation here at home.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=45898&site=3.

i had been made fun of by some folks on another forum recently who said they hoped i lose everything and said mean things about me.. so it left me feeling awful and for a while i had harbored resentment that human beings could be so mean in treating me in this way.. so when i first saw the post, i wasn't thinking clearly, i reacted wrongly and made a false accusation that i was being made fun of because of my situation.. my judgement had been clouded by paranoia, depression and anger from what i had endured from mean people.. i allowed my emotions to get the best of me and i allowed it to cloud my judgement to the point that i totally misunderstood the post for it's intent and when i looked back and re-read the post again, i realized i reacted wrongly and what an idiot i am.

i reacted to it too fast, i never gave my brain time to adjust to the meaning of the post.

As a kid how did you survive the meetings?

by Parousia in

jw
friends

recently my brother, sister, and i talked for the first time about how we survived the meetings when we were kids.

i loved hearing their stories.. i had a whole imaginary world i went into.

once the songs were over and the talk started, i would focus on the speaker to look like i was listening and then zone out.

SheilaM

I am so angry I made my kids live with those dang meetings. I wasn't as strict as some but they got to hear us fight after every meeting, I think it was pent up anger neither of us wanting to be there LOL We would argue about senseless drivel but the anger wasn't about any of it.

So, too my kids and all the dub kids that endured the torture as a Mom I am sorry

Elsewhere and Somewhere - Are they the same???

by Elsewhere in

jw
friends

some people seem to be confused as to whether or not somewhere and elsewhere are the same places.

i can understand the confusion.

they are both from the 13th century or before they both refer to a place they are both "in" a place they both can be "to" a place they are similar in pronunciation

a note of caution

by czarofmischief in

this site helps explain some people's reservations about child abuse allegations.. http://www.religioustolerance.org/ra_case.htm.

why is it so important that incompetent people (ie.

the elders) not be allowed to be the investigative, judicial, and enforcement arms in these kind of cases?

FARTING IN THE KINGDOM HALL.

by nightwarrior in

i was lead to beleive that cleanlinness was next to godliness,that jehovah is a clean god, .

as we as a family sat down behind ( being the operative word ) a couple of elderly sisters ,arriving late we took the only seats available,even then we caused disruption as we even i were fighting over the seats as to where one would sit ,sure enough i allways seemed to end up in the firing line of these elderly fat arsed sisters,whom allways ended up farting in your face,the smell was so strong that you could actualy taste the stench it in the air 10 minutes later,i allways felt sick ,my children grinning .

how did you cope yourself

SheilaM

ROTFLMAO.....This thread is funny....oh my gosh
