  Death, Grief & Spirituality

  by cruzanheart in

  yesterday evening i took jennie & jackson to journey of hope, which is a grief support group for families who have lost loved ones, aimed particularly at the children.

  i was thinking we might be past the need to go, because jennie & jackson seemed to be doing well, and i was feeling better about dad's death.

  the children were asked to draw pictures: on one side of the paper they were to draw the bad things that happened last year, and on the other side of the paper what they wanted to be good or fix this year.. when my group joined the others downstairs, jennie ran to me and said jackson was crying and couldn't stop.

  That's awesome to hear. Better them to deal with it now than when they're adults.....so good to hear that they were able to cry about it.

  Always nice to hear some good news.

  I'm Cursed

  for years, my wife and i have had bad luck.

  we were abused and were part of a destructive cult that almost succeeded in driving us to successfully commit suicide, we had to elope to get married, she cried for a year because of how rotten her parents were to her, she almost died a year later from an athsma attack, we got screwed to the tune of $6,000 on medical bills, our cars continually break down, my job is screwing me out of 15,000 a year just because they can, my wife got into a major car accident that has left her in continual pain, i myself have knee, hip, back and foot problems, we may not win the civil case to get some exta funds for her injuries, which will leave us even more profoundly in debt (possibly $6,000), her parents essentially disowned her, we had her deadbeat brother live with us for 3 years because we felt sorry for him, and we barely even got a thank you for our sacrifice, our car insurance is 6,330 a year (more bad luck), we can't afford to buy food, my wife and i are both near physical and mental breakdown, and this morning, my car's transmission broke after sitting in traffic on route 287 for three hours.. there's nothing left of me.

  i must be cursed.

  There's nothing left of me. I must be cursed. I either was Ghengis Khan or Hitler in my previous life, and I'm paying through the nose for it. Either that, or the devil just likes kicking me in the ass, because I keep refusing to fall down.

  How would you explain jws to a non-jw?

  by Gadget in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the past, when i've been talking about being a witness they haven't really understood just how much of an impact it has on your life unless they've been one too.

  whats the best way to explain it to someone who has never been a witness and had little contact with them?

  i'm more thinking of how much control there is over your life, and the reason why a lot of witnesses feel down and suffer from depression, ect.. gadget

  Think of what comes out of the Bull's Ass.

  Her actions say way more than her words ever could.

  Absolutely.

  She mummified her child with duct tape and left a hole open for the mouth.....that is worse than any horror movie I've seen. This poor kid will be haunted for the rest of his life from this.

  Lemme tell you something, this guy is being used as an example, not because of the bomb book link, but because of his political views. Why else would there be stipulations against him protesting anymore? It's bullshit.

  That picture of the roundabout gave me chills. If one of those were installed in New Jersey, it'd just be like lemmings going off of a cliff. We'd have 100 car pileups...LOL...we can barely handle the odd circle or two that we have in jersey, similar to a roundabout, but much less complicated.

  I will NEVER drive overseas....ever. Thank god for the train service over there. Just watching the cabbies drive gave me a heart attack.
