  Will you reply to this topic or just read it?

  by compound complex in

  some topics generate hundreds of reads but few replies.

  others, well ... i'm not one for scientific studies.

  nor why one thing works and another will not, despite the time and effort put into it (whatever the thing/endeavor happens to be).. kindly inform me if you, in passing by and, having nothing better to do of a saturday eve, happen to see this post but have no intention of responding.. perhaps this is rocket science after all.. thank you for reading though finding no necessity to reply .... "they stayed away in droves.".

  Mr. Flipper's Son's Witness Mom Tells Him- " Your Thinking is From Satan "

  by flipper in

  2. friends

  some of you remember about 9 months ago when my son's fanatic witness mother ( my ex ) tried e-mailing him at college to preach to him of the evils of higher learning.

  he stood up for himself admirably.

  she left him alone - but she's back at it again like a bad dream that just won't quit !

  Transgender

  i recently found out someone i care a lot about is transgendered.

  we havent been so close until recently and i actually guessed that this is what is going on with him.

  he himself is just in the last couple of years coming to grips with it and finally taking measures to become the woman he has always felt he was.

  Finally given in - going to have counselling!

  by dobbie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  went to the docs today, have finally accepted that i need help getting over (or accepting) some of the huge guilt i have for things in the past.

  i persuaded hubby to have it last yr and it has helped him so much that i am going to try it.

  am very nervous as not one to talk about things with strangers but if it gets good results and makes me (and then my family) happy then it is worth it.

  I have had years of counselling to heal from being born and raised as a dub, plus survive an alcoholic father's abuse. Yes, it has helped greatly! I recommend it. Mr. ESTEE has also had counselling. I would not have continued a relationship with him if he was not on the same page as me --- with mental/emotional health. It just wouldn't have worked otherwise.

  Conversation with an elder today!

  by Maddie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was at work today and low and behold an elder from the kh i used to go to came in.

  i never got to know him very well but he always struck me as pleasant and mild mannered.

  the thing is i stopped going to meetings over a year ago and am now, as i have already shared, being shunned by my jw son and his wife and can't see my beautiful little grand daughter any more.. i haven't officially dissassociated and not met with any elders but don't care what action they take as they can't do any more damage to me now.

  when i first came on to the jwd, i mentioned that my wife was df'd jw seeking reinstated.

  it seems the elder's needed more time to decide.

  Maybe this is what your wife needs to see through all the cracks. Seems to me, some people really like to hold on to a punishing belief system ... too bad.

  Oh, can you feel the love!!!

  Best thing the elders ever did for me was disfellowship me. They gave me the boost I needed to get on with my life and start thinking for myself. I would not dream of going back. I've come too far to look back now.

  Hugs to your wife.
