ok, it isn't really crack... but it might as well be!.
i have to be very careful not to leave any plastic bags anywhere around my apartment or my cat will try to eat it.
i'm always paying close attention to the plastic bags that i bring home from the store... they all go straight in to a covered trash can so that the cat can't get them.. now, for the last two days he has been puking all over the place and i can't find any plastic that he might have been eating off of... but i am finding the plastic in his puke... so i know thats what is going one.
I wasn?t going to say anything but I was going through my browser history when I came across this ? to my horror, now I know what my cat does when he?s out at night.

Read with me my brothers and sisters in support of our fellow cats and their addictions ? please open your New Worlds Translation and let?s read from Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous cat is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil pet owners. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his catnips keeper and the finder of lost plastic. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious hairballs those who attempt to poison and destroy my stash. And you will know I am the king cat when I lay my vengeance upon you."

Personal Pain comes in many different shapes, sizes and forms. It has many names like ?issues?, ?baggage?, ?events?, ?thorns?, ?Demons? and ?road bumps? and yes it?s even been called ?life?.
Recent events have shed more light into the complexity that is associated with being a Jehovah?s-Witness.
<Disclaimer>
This isn?t about any one person on the boards or off ? it?s just a general observation from a person that was never a J-dub. If what I say matches who you are ? my apologies ? not my intention.
</Disclaimer>
It?s bad enough that there is pain in life and we all have our own select ways of dealing with it. However being a JW leaves you without certain tools to help you deal with the situation. Then again it?s not just JW?s that have this problem in general. Its bad enough that society as a whole places a huge burden on ?keeping it to yourself? but it appears that because being a JW ? you?re not allowed to even talk about it. You know keep it in the family or don?t wash your dirty laundry in public. I heard of stories that when someone was feeling pain, that to not worry about it and to consol with elders and that were able to speak on behalf of Jehovah. Put your trust in Jehovah ? as Jehovah will provide. Of course, some of us can deal with pain like the rain and just except it, do what we can and move on. While some have a lot harder time dealing with it. Its not easy facing pain ? however you describe pain in your life. Depending on the level of the pain, some become depressed and turn to alcohol to face it. Some see doctors and explain the pain but instead of getting to the root problem they prescribe a pill of it (note ? some issues do require appropriate medication ? point is ? doctors can be too quick to say take this pill instead of getting to the root cause).
Some pain leads to withdrawal, suspicion, abuse, aggression, accusation, interpretation and of course denial. Sometimes pain can be just a reflection of experiences based on the connection of being in an authoritative religion or relationship. Then as you begin to leave ? you get more pain from the lies, mistruths and fallacies you were told and completely believed in. The world around you that you?ve lived as ? is now completely turned upside down. Some deal with it as taking a nice hot shower on a cold day others drink and discount their life and make assumptions that the grass on the other side is just as painful and full of the same mistruths as they?ve currently lived.
From my stand point ? I see those that are leaving the Borg (as I call it ? no offense on those good souls that believe in their heart that what they are doing is pure no matter how miss-guided their intentions are) are seeing the real truth for the first time. It becomes painful to realize that the fear that was placed on you to conform and follow blindly is completely wrong. As one becomes open to new ideas, new versions and new truths ? your first gut feeling is at first a feeling of guilt. That feeling that you?re doing something wrong. Something to being told ?you?re succumbing to Satan?s views?. But as you sit there and analyze your feelings ? it turns in to anger and betrayal. When you conform to a certain belief you start to lose a sense of innovation in your mind. It?s normally called ?thinking outside the box? or ?what if?, it?s that kind of thinking that has both aided people/companies succeed and of course aided some people/companies fail. This type of thinking is what the governing body is worried about because as soon as you do think for yourself you are threatened with disfellowshipping. Whole families are torn apart because of this statement. If you don?t believe it this certain way then you?re out. No other religion is as extreme which is sad, although some families go the ?Don?t ask, don?t tell? approach.
As one becomes an ex-JW, you start to grow and learn about yourself and your life. I?ve seen a few of you and heard stories of great achievement, great new lives and sometimes some unfortunate circumstances that have lead to a parting of relationships. This sometimes can turn into more pain or a sense of loss or even a sense of no direction ?where do I go from here?. That is how the recruitment of new JWs begins or any other religion for that matter. It just so happens that Jehovah?s Witness have honed in this skill better then anyone else.
So why did I even think of writing this post. I?ve never seen such a coming together of people that are willing and wanting to feel better, to get educated and find answers to the life they?ve lived. Thus the transformation from being a Jehovah?s Witness to being an ex-JW to being an individual has begun. There have been many friends my wife and I have met and cherish deeply even those that we?ve yet to meet in person but are good friends on IM.
Personal pain does get easier with the right support ? I?m just glad that you all have found it here.

my brother turned 21 on september 24th, a month later the doctor told him that his leukimia had returned and he had a 10% chance of surviving.
ten days before he died he spent four days at my house.
he had already made up his mind that he wasnt going to take blood.
Hello - I don't post much if any but I feel that I have something to say. I?ll apologize up front for the length.
In case you all don't know me, I am married to Doodle-V, I like to say that I married my best friend. My heart goes out to her. I've sat silently next to her as she has dealt with this. I've respected her wishes to not say anything to her family. You don't know the times I've wanted to scream "What the fudge are you thinking - hello it?s your freaking life" so many times. So many times I've wanted to debate the "real" truth and not the screened version the WT puts out. I've supported Doodle in any way that I could, I've put a smile on her face when she was sad. I?ve tried to support her when she needed it.
I am so happy to have met her that one day - I am so happy to tell you, my new friends, how wonderful and kind she is. Yes, I am in love with her, I awake each day with a smile, I enjoy her company and really just like being with her. I am truly saddened at the events that have just passed. It angers me to see such blatant lies, half truths and just false facts. Yet in the same breath, I want to keep our view of "to each their own - may they live their life their way as they see fit". I want to believe that we have a free choice to make the decisions in our life for ourselves ? free from judgment ? for some this is just not the case.
Each time I read these posts on this site, I become more saddened and happy at the same time because everyone has told their story of how they have dealt with this cult. I've seen no happiness being part of JW but only to find such great sorrow that has become of their life. So hard has their life been only for a cause that doesn't support their followers. I really liked her brother; he was a very independent young man, his conviction in his faith was unquestionable. I admired that, I just wish that we had more time together to talk more about his faith.
Alas, such is what life brings; my mother once told me when my grandfather passed away ?Don?t let unspoken words leave you with regret?. It rings so true today ? life is what you make it. As we arrived to the hospital, we saw those ?elders?, simple men in simple suits, standing there with their bibles. She had asked me how I knew they were elders in which I responded in ?they had that look? while it?s sad to say it but they had the really bad suits that didn?t fit and had that look (kind of hard to explain) of ?life is better for him now that he?s with Jehovah?. I know that might seem stupid but it was that kind of fake feeling you get when you see those people that act nice when you meet them but yet could give a rat?s ass about you.
Oh there is so much venting that I?d like to say, words of anger and frustration but yet it becomes wasted breath and I know that the energy spent would be wasted. I personally will take this frustration and turn it inward and help make our life better ? for it really comes down to her and I, our life, our marriage, our friendship.
Thank you each and every one of you that have responded in this post, in chat and in email. These kind words has helped her understand what she is feeling, given her comfort when she needed it. I can give her those kind words and they help but it is also helpful when they come from you ? those that have been through it.
I love you Doodle-V, you mean the world the me.
Thank you,

us anti-abortionist faces execution
the first man to face the death penalty in the united states for killing a doctor who performed abortions is to be executed on wednesday.
paul hill, 49, is due to die by lethal injection in northern florida, following his conviction of the murder of two people outside an abortion clinic in 1994. .
(heated response - your brought it and now I'm bringing it)
Good lord Yizuman...
You know I wasn't going to reply to this highly heated debate but dude give it a break. It is obivous that you think abortion is wrong good for you but are you for real? I think you are a butcher for your lack of acturate knowledge of anything related to the whole process of sex, birthing and abortion not to mention your weak attempt to flirt with the women posters - "*blush*" - please... Your like that guy that trys to get some but just doesn't get it. And why haven't you responded to Stinkypants?
And yes, if my son or daughter came to me and asked me what a safe abortion is, what a condom is, what drugs are, what is safe sex, what is hiv, I'd tell 'em. And yes there are safe abortions and unfortunately there are bad ones. Hello, that is the nature of any medical surgery - even now, you can go the hospital for a normal in and out surgery only to find yourself dead because the doctor made a mistake or for that matter the nurse helping you recover messes up. Wait forget the hospital what about as you drive home ans someone runs into you and now you can't walk. All this because you went to the hospital - Life is what life is.
Also "You are either a believer in child killing or you aren't" - like where do you get off? Wait, that seems to be the point - so when man jacks off and his semen is spent on the towel - is that murder?
And NO - abortion is not butchering - it's not plain and simple, its a choice. And no - it's a not a beatiful little baby within the first trimester. Fudge, you are so wrong, I can't even fathom your reasoning for your talk. Look - I can understand those of you that don't like abortions, think it's wrong, etc... that is your choice and I respect it but when you ignore the opinons of the people you are talking to - why are you even here? Speaking of God Blessing America - I am a proud American - land of the free - land of the choice.
When TH said get yourself a hooker, it was just that, you can't treat a women or a man with that talk of yours and expect them to listen to you. If you do find a women, who has the same beliefs as yours - good, marry her because I doubt any other woman would put up with you.
Damn, its like your posts are so blind that it reallys amazes me that you aren't hiding in your house afraid of the world. In your post about aids, you are sooooooooo wrong, like really wrong, as in not right as in not even close. Wearing a condom short of not having sex will protect you from getting the hiv virus. Oh wait, you said you can catch aids - like get out of 1980s and come to the light of 2003. YOu don't get aids, you get hiv - seriously although some other people may not respect your view, I do but what I don't respect is your weak debate on abortion based on inacturate facts or misconceived theories or even you stance of not accepting someone elses view that is oposing to yours.
Look, I can see your point where you think life begins at ejaculation, good, don't have one. Life is not black and white, there is no easy answer. If you are unable to see the points of others then don't respond. I see your only point, you feel strongly that abortion is wrong - I can respect that but you miss everyone's point about their stance on abortion - right or wrong.
Abaddon - you have a lot of good points
Aztec...I raised my son by myself because my ex-wife was first going to have an abortion and then tried to make me pay chlid support but now he stays with me. I agree and disagree with you but that is why I live in america - I have a choice...
Look abortion is not an easy subject to debate. It crosses the line of life, death, religion, rights of the individual and rights of the unborn. The issue that is the driving point is "where does life begin", my view is after the first trimister but to others it's after the second trimister and to even others it's right after "cumming". What is certain in my book and certain in the books of the local police department. What that guy did (murdering the doctor and security guard) is murder - plain and simple - regardless of his reason. He is no marter, he is sorry excuse for a man much less a human. I am pro-capital punisment for those crimes that deserve it. I'll say the same thing for him as I will say to Yizuman - don't like what is going on, talk to your congressman and reverse Roe vs Wade - otherwise abortion will be legal in this country regardless if YOu feel it's right or wrong regardless if it's the right time or not.
