Trickle effect

Super serious question
by 5thGeneration inplease no sarcastic crap from mean members.. i had a family member kill herself over being raised by a c.o.
who told her that it ruined their life and that she was a mistake.. i have a 10 page report from a psychiatrist back, who was also a jw, in the eighties that is pretty incredible.. now, i was also born jw with a 100 year "truth" heritage to cause me the same guilt.. and it may be drivng me the same way.
i feel the same way my aunt felt.

New Terms
by 5thGeneration ini have a not so quick question.. could somebody please make a comprehensive list of all of the new terms/theocratic schedule the society has put out to confuse the inactive in the past few years.. i think they make changes deliberately to get us 'spiritual lumps' (what i used to call people when i was an ms) from being able to converse with our old friends.. thanks..

Iraq war for oil? Question for Bush haters
by 5thGeneration ini've been meaning to ask this for a while.. i'm just curious how all the bush bashers who screamed for years that iraq was 'all about the oil' justify their view now with oil prices hovering around $140/barrel?.
just wondering because that argument has kinda been quashed, hasn't it?
i never saw the u.s. just taking iraq's oil nor do i now see iraq doing any favours by discounting the price.. i don't like bush so this is not a desire to argue.

Worst Cable News Personality
by 5thGeneration inwho's the worst?.
i was thinking sean hannity because he is such a jerk that he can't ever even shut his trap for 3 seconds to let anyone else say anything.
he annoys me so much that i can't even listen to his voice.. second, but possibly 1st, is olbermann.

5thGen update
by 5thGeneration inthanks again for all the advice.. had the big meeting and things actually went really well.. i wanted to avoid attacking the society at first and focus on my discouragement and burn out.. quoted the wt from sunday and told him this is exactly how i feel: "i have grown numb and become crushed to an extreme degree; i have roared due to the groaning of my heart.
my own heart has palpitated heavily, my power has left me, and the light of my own eyes also is not with me.
38:8,10.. to my surprise, all he did was quote a few things from the article and a few scriptures and asked if there was anything he could do.. it seemed that he was pleased that i didn't express 'truth' issues but that it is just emotional issues so i figured why mix it up now and bring crap up.. he left asking if i can at least try to hit one sunday meeting a month but he'd still like to see the girls try to go!
