SURVIVORS

by Paradise Found in

jw
friends

the feelings and attitudes of people who have been victims of the org cannot be covered under one umbrella.. because in comparrison to many here my exit from the ogg was painless i hope my posts and comments will not lack compassion or show intolerence to those less fortunate.. personally i see all ex-witnesses as survivors, not victims .because in spite of there suffering they have achived exactly what the org triead to prevent.freedom from the mind control .

of couse for many the terrible emotional scares remain.the price of seperation from family members ect are high to pay.

and it is because of such emotional pain that boards like this should be given credit for the major- role they play in healing those that need healing, educating those that need educating and supporting those that need support.

because i hate gardening !!!.

after many, many weeks or months of hard labour, clearing away 3 or 4 skips worth of rubble from paths, sheds and greenhouses, digging over soil and leveling it we finally layed our turf today!.

i am knackered and don't even have any beer in the house .

But Simon and Angerhead will make as good a compost as the rest of us.

That's only gotta be good for the survivors

How Close Do YOU Live To BETHEL?

by RAYZORBLADE in

ya know, i've had to wonder, since the comment had been posed to me some time ago about various parts of the world, and how close they live to their respective bethels.

so how close do you live to bethel (of your country)?.

the reason i ask is, at least around here, the closer you live to bethel, it seems the more spiritual (jw sense of the word) some of our posters are.

The Aussie Bethel is at Ingleburn? I delivererd a load of sand there when they were building it. It was about an hour from where I lived at the time. It took me twice as long to get there that night, god I love driving a 13 sp roadranger crashbox. I now live on a whole nuther island.

Help, my son has turned American !

i don't know what's happened ... but whenever he plays on the xbox driving games he now puts on a very good 'american' accent.

it is frighteningly good in fact !

the only thing we can think of is that he's picked it up from his cousin who was over a few weeks ago and they played on it together quite a bit (liam get's on really well with him even though he's about 5 years older).. on reflection i guess it is a bit more canadian than american so i am not as worried about it (
