to our friends in florida!

it is anticipated to hit the east coast of florida by saturday.
Stinky Pants.
Whats the Yay, for? (I'm bewildered)
Happy Dad.
I can't even imagine how traumatic that last hurricane was for your daughter. I can't imagine how upsetting and paniced I would be to receive such a call from one of my children.. I'd panic. It must have been a long 4 days for you Happy Dad.
I'll be thinking of all the people in Florida as they prepare for this Hurricane Frances.
Try to move to higher ground and safer housing .. especially if it's a mobile home.

" we need your prayers that this storm not be as destructive as forecasters are predicting.
Take care in Florida.
Thanks for posting this kenneson.
I have friends who have just flown there. They have a residence and live there in Florida 9 months of the year. I think I'll send them an e-mail now that I've seen this thread. They weren't there for Charley.. but they are there now.

a member on the forum asked via pm how it was going.
i ended up writing a three-page reply.
it felt good to get things off my chest, so i figured i would update the forum of where i am at in life.
Hi Paul
Nice to hear an update concerning you and your wife.
Glad your making the work change because it sounds like the new job agrees with you more. although the pay is lower the satisfaction will be far higher. Also, from what you say it will take you more in the direction that you want your career to go.
Happiness is what we all need to seek in our lives. Whether that be in our work or our marriage.
Good to hear you read releasing the bonds even though sometimes not all of it seems so easy to apply. Ithelped me understand myself better as well as those people I know who are still in the J.W.'s. I have more compassion for some of the J.W. now because I understand more how one gets sucked into this cult.
If you and your wife do decide to call it quits some day, at least you will be able to look back at the whole marriage and what has happened between you two and say.. "I really, really tried".\
For now, though.. it sounds like you are both struggling to balance what seems important. For her, of course, that takes the form of pioneering for the WTS. For you, it's finding balance and happiness in your life with your inner self through akito, etc. and your outer self via your work environment.
Good luck as you continue to try and work up that trust that Steven Hassan talks about in his book.
You know, Paul,.. I do hear positive vibes in your post.
Somebody once told me that you just can't Make someone happy nor is it possible to make someone change. Some of these changes you have made tells me you are doing things to help yourself lead a happier life. Being around happier and more contented people always makes me feel better..
even though your wife is still in the borg..she hasn't bolted yet, maybe it's because you are more settled and happier with what's going on in your life and are happy about the decisions you have made.
wishing you the best, Paul
love

as you know, i?ve had a bit of a day.
((((((you guys)))))).
i am stunned and numb right now, and for some reason, i do not feel as tired as probably should.
Hi Corvin
I've just been reading all your posts over the last several days.. to get caught up.
WOW!.. what a wild few days you have had.
Glad your daughter is in the hospital under proper care.
I'm so sorry your family and especially your kids have to be put under this constant stress with your ex wife and her husband.
I've got my fingers crossed for you Corvin, that you can proceed and get them (your kids) away from their mother and her husband.
That J.W. religion does nothing but stir up family troubles. It's what they are becoming known for.
Take care of yourself too Corvin you'll need a balanced self to make it through all this.
sincerely

Fess up.
Moosehead reports theft of more than 50,000 beers
SAINT JOHN, N.B. (CP) - New Brunswick-based Moosehead Breweries is asking people to be on the lookout for thousands of cans of "El Cerveza Cabeza de los Alces." More than 50,000 cans of Moosehead Lager destined for a Mexican supermarket chain were stolen early this week.
The truck carrying the beer from Fredericton to Toronto was discovered empty and abandoned in Grand Falls, N.B., on Tuesday.

it went great!
Hi Gadget
So glad you did this. It sort of all sounded like a cleansing of sorts.
You seemed to hit all the major points
Tug of war between the two congregations of who was wrong and who was right was .. we'll just say it was childlike pathetic. What a screw up that was. Unfair too.
You covered: The U. N. thing, Child abuse and the two witness rule,
You discussed the every changing light bulb of new light.
Actually you sounded sort of like my brother shotgun when you said, "So, if this is right now, the other belief, the old light must be wrong. Is that right? (you made me chuckle Gadget).. because it's true!
All in all an excellent covering of a variety of topics.
Sheesh!.. what can they do to you now. Disfellowship you? Oh, that's right. You been there done that.
Gadget, my dear. You done Good man!! I hope it spear headed a confidence in where you are in your recovery from the J.W. religion.
Thanks for the transcript. They are always an eye opener to me.

if your jw family upset you, or if you're having "one of those days" (or weeks, or months .
is there anything that you actively do to counter the negative feelings?.
i usually try to go into "look after myself" mode and spend some time alone just relaxing or having a good cry .
Hi Sirona
When my J.W. family get me down because of being cut off.
I say this little thing in my head. "Im breaking the chain, I'm breaking the chain". My kids would have been 3rd generation J.W.'s.. and I need to keep them away from that religion.
They are growing up through their life with their eyes wide open, not narrow minded tunnel vision. They have freedom to choose their paths and know that my husband and I will ALWAYS love them.
So that's what I do. I have a long talk with myself like that...and that seems to work.
love
