Hey guys,
Of course, I know that most of you here are very frustated with the Borg.
Do you blame anyone?
Me personally? I don't blame the peoples that "brought me into the truth."
I think most of the people in the "Truth tm" are people like me who just wanted to do their best.
In fact, I "brought" several people into the "Truth tm." Some of which are Elder's today.
I guess it may be easy to say the Governing Body.
Just wondering.
I guess for me, I mostly blame myself because... and I tell you.
When I was a JW, I could totally blow you out of the water with the things I knew.
But, oddly enough. If the NEW ME would debate the OLD ME... I would Kick the Old Me's Ass.
I guess ultimately you're responsible for yourself.
And I don't even blame those "A-hole elders" who just basically SCREWED ME over a barrel.
I think it's just part of THEIR system of thing.
Anyway, any thoughts???

My take on this is...
1) You tell them they could only date other Witnesses.
2) You tell them not only could you only date other Witnesses, but that OTHER witness should be strong.
3) Then you tell them if they are "spiritually weak tm" that they shouldn't be worried about getting a spouse until they are better spiritually.
4) Now you can't even search the world for a partner even IF they are a Witness.
No WONDER there are so many divorces.
How many that get married are REALLY THAT COMPATIBLE when you line up all these factors??? -

WTS positives- A therapy project
by zugzwang inso my therapist told me that if i am ever going to heal emotionally and psychologically from the damage done by the wts that i need to not just focus on the negative, but to think about how the wts helped make me a better person.
i suppose it is because of the wts that i never got involved with illegal drugs or gangs.. .
because of the wts i was always a good student in school.

I'm trying to recover too.
I think the BEST thing that I could say is that I receive tremendous FREENESS of SPEECH.
Please let me explain.
Right now, I'm searching God and Jesus.
I'm NOT worrying about pleasing them by how closely I could follow the Bible.
Rather, RIGHT NOW, I'm focused more MY RELATIONSHIP with them.
Before, my whole thing was how RIGHTEOUS I could become by WORKS.
But I feel good, because I lived 10 years of self denial as a Pioneer because of my love of God.
So NO ONE could accuse me of "wanting out" because I want to live an immoral lifestyle or whatever.
I lived VERY strictly.
And I would again if that was what I felt it would take.
But before you criticize me (talking about the JW), you had better had at least 10 years of full time service behind you.
I did that. And that was MY PROOF that I'm willing to go to all lengths to prove my loyalty to Christ.

Hey guys,
Just spent a small fortune because my front lawn got burnt up. Had to buy new sod.
This is my first house.(Was living in Condo's.)
Someone should have told me that I needed to water my lawn. (Oye!!!)
Ok...
For those of you who have a green thumb.
One side of my yard I didn't have to get re-sodded. Because it's not TOO bad.
It's VERY patchy.
Looks like a bad ROGAIN commercial.
I've been watering that side like crazy and throwing down some seeds.
Anything else I could do??? -

Thanks Wed.
This thread is real important to me.
When I first started on Paxil, I was pretty much "HIGH" all the time.
Since then, it's dropped off a bit.
My Doc is an incredible guys and the meds are working good.
I guess my question was more of how I can be using the meds to it's best advantage.
Thanks for you input. Really. I appreciate it so much
