  i was going to add some thoughts to another thread, but it is now locked.

  it took a long time to gather my nerve up to post a new topic, and i'll probably regret it, but i couldn't feel any crappier than i do today, (well, yes i could) so, whatever.. .

  perhaps the following - taken from a book i've read a million times - will be of help to someone... yeah, it's another stupid trauma analysis ... however, if you've ever been a jehovah's witness, you have been traumatized, and no doubt must contend dearly with at least some afteraffects.

  if there are any real estate agents out there, or people who know about such matters, i would really appreciate some opinions.... if not, i could really use some plain old sympathy.

  just 8 months ago, my mate & i moved over 1000 miles to a new state .

  we found a house to rent.

  my global statement

  i am so off this planet.. i have had so much therapy in the past, i dunno, forty years, that it makes me "sick".. i have learned to speak in cognitive-speak.

  i have learned to think in cognitive-speak.. i have survived jw-endorsed "therapy": a jw-sanctioned therapist in northern virginia who could "cure" dissociative disorders in just a few sessions.

  she learned this technique from the "society" and therefore, did not charge for her services.

  this is a bit off topic, but i hope someone might give me a little insight on a delicate matter here.. my significant other has applied for life insurance, and of course must have the obligatory "home visit" where they take his blood pressure, blood sample, pee sample, etc.. we are barely making ends meet as it is, and are trying to sign him up a a non-smoker.

  (he's gonna quit, anytime now.

  i swear.

  my mate is flying this weekend to minneapolis for an interview.

  it seems very likely that it will result in a wonderful career opportunity for him.

  my job is pretty portable, and there's no question that i'll go with him if he accepts.. what's minneapolis/st.
