Getting past the anger

by Stealth in

jw
friends

i am looking for some assistance or resources on anger mangement.. i have known the truth about the truth for about a year now.. due to reasons of family i don't beleive i can make a 100% break at this time.. i seem to have a major problem getting past the anger.

i am not an angry person by nature and in the past when i have gotten angry it never lasted very long.. at times i feel that the reason i can't get past the anger is because i have not made a complete break.

i don't know if this is true since i see many here who have made the break and the anger persists.. if there is anyone here who has experienced this and has found a way to move past the intense feelings of anger without completly breaking from the borg due to family reasons and can offer some advice i would welcome it.. is it possible to get past the anger with one foot still in?

I am beginning to think that this nytelecom1 is Fred Hall's twin brother.

He sure sounds like Fred Hall.

I thought it was interesting that Lloyd Barry did not apply for his social security card until 1975.

after much deliberation, i decided to go "out" at the end of a public talk.

it didn't go down too well, but at least i was able to give some of my reasons for leaving.. i've put some of the details on my homepage.

i'll update it more when i get the time and the strength.

chester

Little toe,

I am bringing this back to the top for someone who can't find it.

This is an amazing story.

Open Letter To Jehovah's Witnesses

you may not remember, but i know you very well.

i met you a long time ago when you came to my house with your smiling faces, your neat clothes, and your soft voices, and a bible tucked neatly under your arm.

you told me many beautiful stories of a "paradise earth," and a "righteous new system" which would be established shortly.

chester

Outaservice,

Thank you so much for posting that. It is a must read. It will be on the table for my wife to read in the morning.

I am going though a very emotional time in my life right now and this post hit very close to home for me. It was very touching.

Thanks again

Social Security and Jws

by badboy in

i am a severly disabled adult who receives disability benefits.. i understand sometime ago the watchtower said in one of its magazine(probably watchtower)that a smaller pertentage(sic)of jws claimed the dole in france(this was, i believe during the problems with the french government)as opposed to a higher pertentage(sic)of roman catholic etc etc claiming the dole.. in view of what paul says in one of his letter`he that doesn't work, shall not eat' should jws be claiming the dole if they truly follow the bible.

discuss.. i believe a social security system should provide for the disabled and pensioners.

(i don't think the present uk social security system will survive in its present form with accelerting(sic)costs etc etc)

chester

Lisa,

I ran a check on the dates given and they are the date that the social security card was issued....applied for.

That is why I feel that the date for Barry is interesting. He did not apply for his card until 1975 when he was 59.

Speaking about social security.....

I thought I would run a check to see if any of the Governing body had applied for it. What I found is quite interesting. Notice that Lloyd Barry did not apply for his until 1975.

A Few Things to Think About Today...

by Prisca in

jw
friends

this was sent to me via email, just wanted to share it.

i've learned that no matter what happens,or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.. i've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled christmas tree lights.. i've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.. i've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life.".

i've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.. i've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands.

chester

Prisca,

Thank you very much for those things to think about.
