  IMO, people could be attracted to Satanism as a religion because of being abused by Satanists or experiencing other ritual abuse as children

  22there has befallen them the thing spoken of in the true proverb, the dog turns back to his own vomit, and, the sow is washed only to wallow again in the mire..

  i remember when i was going over my baptismal questions the elder spouted off this scripture to me.. looking back at it i wonder how could he be such a moron!

  i was 14, it was more a 'rite of passage' than a spiritual commitment. that's just what they taught us and it seems very surreal to me now. such a heavy burden to be placed on children ......

  This is really stupid ... BUT

  i'm off tomorrow for my first physical in 10 years (or is it 12?).

  and i'm seriously nervous.

  i don't care much for doctors, i've had some bad experiences in the past that's kind of put me off.

  happy to hear everything is okay ...

  it's hard to trust a stranger that can potentially hold your life in her/his hands. just don't wait so long till next time!!! i felt the same way about going to the doctor, and decided to "interview" dr's till i found the right one. I did, and have been with him for over 12 years now, he is a real friend.

  sleeping can be hard for some folk at the best of times. when my ex was working nites, i covered the bedroom window with aluminum foil, and it completely blocks out the daylight. it helped him sleep much better during the day. just a thought.

  {{{{}}}} to you. you and nina seem like great people (v. supportive) from what i have read on this forum. been 'through the mill', and still kickin', still with a real love of life and sense of humour. cheers to ya!

  A question for the ladies?????

  by Maverick in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i have noticed that when the ladies post pictures of "hunks" these guys have no body hair.

  when i was a gymnast many of the guys would cut their hair real short and shave their chests and stomachs and oil them to get a better, more defined look.

  i always thought chest hair was "manly" so i never did it.

  Would you ever come back for someone you loved?

  by micheal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if there was someone you were crazy about who went back to associating with jw's again and they asked you to come back too, only because to live dividedly for the rest your life would be just too hard and awkward.

  keep in mind your role would be very limited, few meetings a month, couple hrs service a month etc.. i know "if" this was before me i would feel that i would never ever want to come back.

  i don't believe it is the truth, can't stand the control among other reasons.

  Dealing with grandmother's death all over again

  by TresHappy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in may my beloved grandmother passed away at the age of 87. it was a long struggle for her, and i thought i was dealing with her death pretty well.

  well yesterday, i went to my jw parents for a visit (had not been there in several months.

  ) the first thing mom wanted me to do was to look in my grandmother's personal possessions to see if was there anything i wanted.

  grandmothers give us a very special kind of love. i'm so sorry for your loss. you have your memories of her and the times you shared together, and nothing they do can change that.

  The JW Martyr Complex?

  by lisaBObeesa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  like my mother before me, im a martyr.

  i am almost unable to make a choice based on what is best for me.

  and of course this has over time made me a depressed, bitter person who, much to my horror, explodes with rage from time to time.

  I am just coming to terms with this part of my self

  good for you lisa!! it's a big part of the indoctrination. once i recognized that trait in myself, it didn't take long before i was being selfish (ie, taking care of myself) instead of self-absorbed. a friend once told me that i should stop taking care of others and then whining about it. at first, i thought he was being mean, but then i realized it was time to GET DOWN OFF THE CROSS!!

  you're obviously well on your way out of this negative-thinking trap!!

  i congratulate you. it takes a lot of courage to talk about this issue.

  APPLAUSE!!!!

  Stay OR Slay

  to anyone who clicks on this thread and cares to post upon it.

  i have a few questions for you.

  do you value this forum on its ability to keep newbies/recent posters to stick around, therefor: stay.

  I'm am AMAZED that I have found people who think like ME!!!!!!!

  ditto.

  that being said, i find there are a lot of interesting topics being discussed that i don't bother with posting on because of the personal attacks and name-calling. but i guess that's how it is with a 'public forum'. in my personal life, i enjoy debate. sometimes my friends and i can be quite heated, but i don't hang with abusive people. in this forum, i try to stay out of the more controversial subjects. had enough abuse in the past, don't need to invite it here. just my personal feelings as a newcomer to discussion boards.

  (have i been biting my tongue on the feminist issue????) d-oh!!
