Giving Up The Struggle
by choosing life ini recently realized that i don't know or need to know the answers to the big questions in life.
the details no longer matter to me.
i just kinda gave up on the struggle to be right or in the know.

I love the feeling. I no longer need to have all the answers, and it's so liberating!

Ever hear an experience at an assembly that you KNOW was slanted?
by Bonnie_Clyde ini remember one at a district assembly.
a brother was being interviewed as to why he never chose over time work at his job.
he said he worked for a small printing company and that he was content with working regular hours.

When I pioneered in my early twenties, I was at a rehearsal for a c.a. part on pioneering and a middle aged sister was being coached on her experience. She was a pioneer and had an older highschooler at home and was talking about how she managed her schedule. When she said she had a teenager at home she was stopped and told to say she was the mother of three; technically correct, but the two others were adults and out of the house. They wanted her to sound like she had three kids at home and was pioneering anyway. Even then I could see what they were doing.

Can't find husband's bleeding site
by MsMcDucket ini haven't said anything to you all because i feel like many will say here she goes looking for sympathy.
anyway, he had to go in thursday for a cbc.
his hgb was 7.2. so they sent him over to the hospital to get two units as an outpatient.

Ms. McD,
It sounds as though the dr's would be aware of the nsaids. Maybe they will consult with another hospital to look for answers. Are you getting enough support? Don't be worried about asking those around you for help.

Is he taking NSaids for pain or arthritis? (non-steriodal ainti-inflamitory meds) I was hospitalized this fall with blood loss and nearly had a transfusion; my count only got down to 9. The dr's should have asked this question but on the chance they haven't, you should mention it. There was never a specific bleed sight found; it just happens fast and fierce.
This must be very frightening for you and your hubby; my thoughts are with you.

How Do You Feel About Life & Yourself Now That You're Out?
by minimus inpersonally, i'm feeling better about things.
i don't cringe when i see a witness now.
i may still try to avoid contact with certain ones but now i feel more than ever before that jws are crackpots and whether they look down on me or not, they are the ones with the issues----not me!

I cannot even begin to describe how much better I feel mentally, physically, emotionally. Doesn't mean life's perfect but a lot better out of the borg.

GUMBERS NEEDS YOUR ADVISE.......
by Mary ini got a pm from gumby this morning.
as i predicted, he's being love-bombed by the congregation and invited out everywhere.
part of this is because he was very popular before and is a very likeable guy, but part of it is to try and suck him back in so thoroughly, he'll never be able to escape.

I can't even begin to imagine being in his position. I guess there's a lot of the flu going around... Hell, I'd be sick from the socializing that's been going on already.

They don't make things like they used to thread
by JH inok, you may rant about anything that you find doesn't have the quality it used to have.. i bought a new toaster last week.
my old one was 13 years old, and i just felt like i needed a new one.
so i bought the same make, and similar price that i paid some 13 years ago.

What gets me is that you're always pressured to by an extended warranty. Do they make the things so you need an extended warranty? If I'm buying it, I expect it to last and don't feel like I should have to pay more $$ for that.

Would you join a "Letters to the Editor" Campaign?
by LennyinBluemont ini just finished reading randys thread (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/128072/1.ashx).
it occurs to me that his initial post here, with a bit of re-wording and reducing it to maybe three short paragraphs, would make an excellent letter to the editor of our local papers.
what if we all embarked on a letter-writing campaign to our local papers, using this as a basis?

I'll send one. Are you going to write a template or ready letter?
Since being thorougly "outed" this fall, I have absolutely nothing to lose.

So long, and thanks for all the kids...
by Paralipomenon ini recently remembered this jw rumor that went circulating around when i was younger.
two sisters call on a door in service and is confronted by an obviously demon possessed individual.
(the details always changed, floating lamps, speaking in tongues, the usual folklore) sensing a disturbance in the force the younger sister leaves but the older pioneer sister stays determined to give her witness.
