It made me unhappy. I feel that my religion is a woman who is my friend, soulmate and makes me feel happy and she the same about me. I have never found her yet and she has never found me so it is sad and may never happen. I do not know what else God has put me here for - so that is my religion that I am looking out for!

I can't identify the quote icon and when I hit return in my reply it never shows up on my post! Now sweetstuff - how would you know if I degraded females body parts and that now I'm a crybaby coz women are out to put all men down for centuries of history before they existed - unless of course your suggesting they should measure up nicely, in which case you just join the queue?

It is insulting to infer that my weenie is of no relevance! This causes deep psychological rifts in males worldwide and has them thinking there are few females who would be interested in their sexual offerings. It is sad how many men suffer due to this lack of female appreciation! There is need for redress after the necessary undress of course. And wtf does my post not paragraph when they are on my reply - and how do I quote?

Why is religion such a mass of confusion?
by evergreen inas a person who has not attended meetings for some time now, and having stood back and looked at the thousands of different faith groups, organisations, churches etc i often think how on earth are we to know what direction to go.
if a person looks deeply into their own faith questioning how, what and why... the deeper the hole gets as to errors.
from my own experience having firstly been a catholic then a jw, all i see are manmade rituals and rules mingled in with biblical principles and commandments.

Some folks I've linked online with recommend the Tao Te Ching. I have not looked at it yet but hope to. I think and feel like some Buddhist philosophies. An example - they are vegetarian (love of life) but if their people can only survive in regions where meat is necessary then they will sacrifice their principles with God in mind and respect for the animal having unwillingly sacrificed its life for their benefit. This sort of thinking looks for solution and progress in the circumstances you happen to be placed in. It is a mind opening way rather than a controlling. I would not go along with stuff in any religion just because the majority seemed correct. It is a lesson I have learned and it was not good for me!

This WT article makes me mad.... this is evil
by dawg init's bad enought that young people in the wt have to sell magizines, risk shunning when they find out the truth about the gb... but this article really makes me laugh and angry at the same time.
the part that made me the maddest was when the father said he "conquered" the habit, lying bastard!

Let's face it - there are over 6 billion humans alive who all have naked bodies and over 99% of whom will undoubtedly go through times when they feel like seriously hot sex. It is a simple scientific point to do with the natural world we live in and why there are so many humans here in the first place. Weird how many consider nakedness offensive as well as everyone having sex. These things about our natural world have been taboooood big time and cause overreactions in certain humans thet would be better avoided. A minority of humans are so 'hot' looking that they are in high demand from the opposite sex and get a life some would die for - albit they'd want to stay alive for the good bits! But many humans are not so fortunate and may go through years of torture and internal conflict which is unhealthy! It would be better if the whole world could make love to each other so there were no problems anywhere and everyone went to sleep with a smile! That way masturbating would not be a problem!

Do you mean physiology or psychology? What do you mean 'defeat'?

Enlighten us Mincan as to the major geo-political influences you are aware of - it is interesting! Sweetstuff - your geopolitics suggests the world is all to cock - even Canada which I had hoped may have escaped preoccupation.

Are we all somehow impaired? Recovery?
by dinah inbear with me, i'm "impaired".. why is it some of us seem to move on with scars hidden, some fall apart, some fall apart and pick up their pieces and walk away somewhat whole.. what is it about our individual emotional/mental make-up that affects how we deal with this crap?
some self-destruct, some fight self-destruction, some don't give a shit.. you can take some kids and put them in a meeting about death and doom and they don't take it to heart, some do.
my whole problem was hurting for all those peeps that jehover was gonna kill.

The question is an excellent one! The answer is not, because it is not scientifically staightforward. There are lots of people with reasons but none, although relevant, assist in the rebuilding of a life that has been shattered. It is easier for a chicken to lay another egg than to put Humpty Dumpty together again. People can keep telling you why you fell off the wall and whether it was whoevers fault etc. but it will not provide people around you who care just for you and are there for you and interested in how you feel and think and how you are feeling on a daily basis. Professionals are there to help but subconsciously you know they cannot be your soul mate by definition - they are not in your life for you alone. Maybe it is the lack of closeness and affection which destroys people and then leaves them that way. Also there may be those pretending to care whose intrigue results in them paying lip service to your situation but with no real concern for your continued welfare. Real friends are rare. Some of us have none in our own age range with the capacity to give what we could give back - pure friendship! Sadly it may weaken you till there is little left for you to give of yourself anymore.

It probably boils down to how you as a person reason and feel about yourself and about other people whom a book may affect. If you feel it could upset family and you have feelings for them which are sincere then you need to consider this. If you want to help others by publishing your story then first maybe see what is already out there - there are lots of similar stories already available to aid others as a sounding board. If you feel you may make money/ career from this then you are in a situation others have been in when they weigh emotional compassion against personal gain. Your situation may hold shades of all the above but do not treat any counsellor as God or being righteous. They are all human just like the rest of us and some have more issues than you may feel comfortable about. I once heard of a rape victim whose counsellor got so close to her family that she ended up marrying the rape victims husband. Everyone is human and so you must make up your own mind what it is that you want absent of too much influence from others.
