  My father just beat my brother-

  one more topic.. my wife just called up to tell me that she was over my parents before a doctor's visit, chatting with my mother, when my crazed jw father threw my small 14 year old brother down the stairs and punched him for not wanting to study.. i've been beat, thrown down stairs, had potted plants thrown at me, chased around the house, and such, for not wanting to do the family study.. this is what the "truth" does to people, all you loyal jw's....take note...... (i'm so angry i'm shaking).

  ashi.

  p.s-my father said he was leaving my mother--oh god, pretty please, you motherf**ker.

  My father just aologized to me, my wife, and my brother, for the abuse.

  It was uncomfortable and strange.

  He has never done this before.

  Your thoughts?

  You guys are too suspicious

  i posted this on the thread from little_red_birdie, but thought perhaps it deserved it's own thread.. to some of the posters on this thread:.

  you guys are just too suspicious.

  some teens are so grown up, and have good vocabularies, because their parents talk to them, and they learn how to speak.

  i don't feel too bad, cause I just got a nice email from Concerned Mama, so I guess my post didn't cause them to feel like they need to toss themselves off of the roof.......

  Wow, Was This Really 28 Years Ago?

  this friday, december 7th., is our 28th wedding anniversary.

  her ladyship and i intend to visit our favourite restaurant, dimitri's, for a slap-up greek meal plus a considerable quantity of excellent wine.. its a time when we like to reflect on our life together, the lows as well as the highs that we have experienced over the years.

  mainly, our life has been one of laughter and fun.

  Friends we are too unbalanced.

  well sometimes we are.. look we have the knowledge and experience to help a lot of people.must of us have one time been jw's and understand how many think.so lets not put them off by being too negative.. when we were witnesses most of us were quite happy .

  we tried to be good people , to put into practise principles that many people think are good.

  we did this sometimes even when we didn't want to , because we thought god would hold us accountable and because we cared for people .

  Fark,

  I wrote a response and said,

  "I hope that's true."

  'hope'-lol. Maybe you're right, but how heavy can things get before they break? It seems like our JW families cannot throw another tack under the tire when it happens again.

  But, you're right about hope. I always think of hope as based on fact, like hoping for the weekend, which always comes. Most other people's version of hope coincides with WISHES, and maybe that's what I meant too. If I could make a wish I'd do it....hell, I'm make a pilgrimidge to Mecca to get them out and make things mend.

  French,

  I'm giving up hope right now. I can't see what will get them out. I'm completely helpless here...perhaps that is what I meant. It's no slight on you, my rage. I certainly don't mean that there is no hope for your family, but for me, I've given up.

  I was under the delusion that my family would someday leave, but I don't think that's ever going to happen. I have almost no friends, because I'm scared to death of making them (my wife has an even harder time than myself), and we despise our families for their cowardice and inaction.

  I'm so goddamn tired of fighting. I fought since I was a little kid. I'm so worn out, and I have no one to hold me up. My wife is sickly, and my family isn't very strong. My wife's family still persecutes her, which hurts her very much. I can't seem to find the time to get myself together.

  I wish I had a network of ex-JW's who lived near me, whom I could REALLY talk to, not just on chat. While this can be therapudic, it is very cold, and I really need someone older and wiser to talk to...a mentor, if you will.

  But, do you think that your hope is based on reality or dreams? (That is not a slight.) Truly, do you think that they will change?

  Just go slow and subtle, man.

  They first thing they tell people on the bible studies is that their loved ones will object to them studying.....no shit...but to people who are more easily influenced, it seems like prophecy.

  Slow and subtle....that how you get them.
