Opposition to this site
by Crumpet ini have only been a recent user of this site.
the other night i explained what it was i was spending time reading online some evenings when my boyfriend is out and tried to explain how it is helping me finally let go of the jw beliefs that i have clung to for so long.
i thought he would be pleased, but he got really angry and now is very difficult any time i try to use the internet at home.

Tough day -- my mom died today
by cruzanheart inpoor thing, she's had alzheimer's for about 10 years and the last year she's been on hospice care because she's been so close to death.
the past few months she's been slowly filling up with water -- they gave her lasix (not sure of the spelling) to relieve the edema and it worked, sort of.
last weekend she actually looked a little better.

Online Forums/Newsletters/Support...
by one_ugly_time inafter replying earlier today, i realized that i read a few on-line forums for various reasons... besides this one, i also read --.
http://www.seducersworld.com/ :: a very different outlook on social seduction.
reading through this, it shows how individuals are easily persuaded once someone has emotionally engaged you; regardless of their emotional engagement - only the insinuation or inference of such.

Gambling
by onacruse intalked with a friend this afternoon, and an interesting hypocrisy was pointed out to me:.
the wts strongly discourages gambling with money (i think it's still a dfing offense), but they're more than willing to tell people things that make you gamble with your life.. and when you lose that gamble: if it's just money that you lost, they say "what did you expect?
" if it's 'just' a big piece of your life that you lost, on their advice, they diss it off as it's "new light" or "we never actually said that.

Paradoxal nature of change...
by one_ugly_time ini was just noticing.... i want to spend more time with my children.... so i end up spending less time while i look for a job that will allow me more time.. i want a more consistent daily life so that i can go back to school.... so life because chaos while the schedules/events/activities are rearranged to support this.. i want better, deeper, more fulfilling friendships in my life.... so i end up with no one to turn to momentarily as i cultivate this change.. we want violence to stop in the world.... so we create more violence destroying the perpetrators before that is possible.. that is why i find goal setting and reflection so important for myself.
many times, i get 1/2 through a change and feel like i've taken 10 steps backward and can't figure out what i'm doing wrong... just as often, i'm not doing anything wrong, just forgetting momentarily the burden i placed upon myself or others in order to make the change possible... .
can you think of other changes you have tried to make that seem to take you in the wrong direction?.
