  i have been registered here since october 2001, when the un story broke.

  i figured it is time to start my first official thread and introduce myself.. first i would like to thank simon for providing this forum.

  i have enjoyed it immensely for the past year or so and found it both thought provoking, and humerous.. the problem i have, is trying to get my wife of 18 years to visit here.

  well half of you don't know me but all of you helped in one way or another you'll never understand how much.

  i wish i had more time to get on personal levels with you all but that's not going to happen now.

  i didn't tell my family but, i am kind of worried about the war, something tells me it's not going to be another six day war.

  i left the borg 13 years ago, at age 22. after my wife had died of cancer, i started seeing a "worldly" female.

  (i was teetering in the borg at the time.

  ) well we ended up becoming very intimate.

  Frivolous lawsuits

  by meadow77 in

  2. friends

  we all remember the guy who sued mcdonalds and actually won because their coffee was too hot, but what has been going on lately in the land of frivilous lawsuits?

  well here are some ideas for those of you out there who may be a little hard up for cash.. it's time once again to consider the candidates for.

  Just another example of why I'd hope to never need a jury of peers to help me..or most attorneys for that matter. Wish I could find some humor but it's too disgusting.

  I've been out so long that any advise would be better served from those more new to such a step.

  I just wanted to congratulate you on a wonderful step in living life to the fullest. And that you have the support of your wife and children, for me, would far outweigh any possible repurcussions from parents. Remember, everyone makes their choices for good or ill. Be it parents or not.

  Keep us posted, please.

  Regrets.............

  by Latte in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  please correct my thinking if i'm wrong, but........... i regret pretty much all of the jw friends whom i've loved.... and now lost due to my now no longer viewing things the same as them.. i regret the many very special events in life which i shared with them.

  am i right to feel this way?.

  I learned the hard way that living in regret is a dead end street. It comes down to, "what if", and that is not healthy for me. I "what if" my life for many years...and it just kept me at odds with finding an answer that was comfortable. We are not going to change a darn thing that happened, but we can learn how to turn those situations into a positive stepping stone so that perhaps we needn't make the same, eeeerrr, for lack of better word, mistakes.

  Life is about taking the challenge. We can live in regret of the past, or we can get up, shake the dust off and keep moving away from thinking that hinders our evolution. At the same time, as already mentioned, at least you can acknowledge and "feel" those feelings without having some idiot jackass hypocritical do-gooder tell you "You shouldn't feel that way." Feel it and let it go. Life is too short to stay trapped in negative self-talk.

  And remember, recovery takes time. One day you'll realise those baby steps amount to having conquered the mountain.

  Hey, just for sake of conversation about regret here's a short tale: My former husband, one I meant in A.A. would find humor in how he drank away at least $100,000.00 in his drunkend days. It was always a good story when "regret" came up at a meeting. :) :) Listen to what others may have to say, too. It's hardly just the religiously abused that experience such. It is, in my opinion, the determined to overcome type that eventually gets it. Look around at those you may encounter that never live in the moment because regret is their only companion. Sad individuals indeed.

  Hang in there. Things do improve and one day you will find the parodoxical humor of being human.

  love, granny

  dear everyone, my dad died suddenly and unexpectedly at the weekend.he did'nt turn up for a family dinner and my husband and i went to see if he was ok.he was dead.collapsed in his home.i can't stop shaking and i feel really sick.i've lost my mum and now my dad too.i wish i could sleep for months and wake when the pain has finished with me.

  it hurts so much .sorry to bring everyone down-but i'm stressed at having to sort out his arrangements due to the autopsy and funeral etc and the house and my feelings.

  ; i just wanted to tell you all as my husband's gone for a walk and the children are asleep and i'm feeling scared about viewing his body, but i know i'll have to and i feel guilty for feeling like that.stupid thoughts racing through my mind at the moment-need to 'hear' a friendly voice .
