  Forgiveness, How Far Do You Take It?

  by prophecor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has it ever happened to you, something so dispicable you would rather go to your grave, not having forgiven someone a wrong they had done you, hopeful that god would sort it out in the end?

  mind you, i know things like child molestation, rape and murder are things for which it is difficult, if not impossible, to be forgiving of.

  that being said, where does one draw the line on forgiveness?

  If someone is truly sorry, and does show that in a way that I can see he/she/they meant it...then I can forgive. But when "something so despicable" happens to you and the perpetrators of that crime show no repentance; I don't and I won't forgive. I've read a lot of books on forgiveness and they alway say that to hate someone hurts you more than it does them. But even though I may hate someone, I don't let it control my thinking process and try to let it go. Out of sight, out of mind. Christ wasn't too forgiving of the Pharisees, if at all.

  I personally cannot forgive those that slandered my son and "marked" him without warning when he married an unbaptized publisher. They showed no remorse and took no actions to right the wrong. I don't think it makes me a bad person to be unforgiving. Sometimes you have to protect yourself from people who have no conscience.

  I was pulling out the stuffing on my couch when I was subjected to Beyonce' singing three times. She also did a duet with Josh Groban...I think there are kids on American Idol that sing better than she does. They must have been desperate to put her on three times. Jeeeshhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

  And when the heck are the going to give Martin Scorcesi (yeah...I don't know the spelling on that one) the nod for best director?

  I'm not watching next year. So there.

  Do you let JW's make you feel insignificant?

  by Dragonlady76 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have read so many posts and topics about how people are treated after leaving the org.

  so i would like to share with you my take on this.. i cannot help but notice that most people seem to feel that they are looked down upon by the jw's.

  whether it be from shunning: a mean look,comments, avoiding someone etc... i can honestly say that i have never felt this way, and i have run into several jw's since i left.

  I tell everyone off ..but in a nice way. One Elder came up to me and said Hi...I looked at him like he was stupid and said"I have nothing to do with you now please walk far away and never EVER come up to me or my child!"

  I, Cathy L., can verify that this is a true statement. Do not EVER make this little lady angry or you will PAY. If you need someone "taken care of"...just call up whyamihere...and she will do the dirty deed. She is getting stronger and stronger and as each day passes with her new found freedom...she realizes that no one can make her feel unworthy.

  Brookie...you are my hero and I love you immensely.

  Big hug...Cathy L...aka...mumsy

  yesterday at 5:00 am i awoke to a rooster crowing.

  he crowed for 10 minutes and then kept quiet for 10 minutes.

  just enough to allow me to fall back to sleep before starting up again.

  Just in case...I have a really good chicken soup recipe.

  Did you see the movie "Cold Mountain"? When the character played by Rene Zellwiger (or however you spell it), Ruby, took the rooster and just twisted it's head right off? Yeah...that got rid of that nuisance.

  I suppose if they were willing to make up stuff about us while we were still "active" JW's, I can only imagine what has been circulating since. I mean; what's the point of being a JW if you can't gossip, slander and backstab people?

  You've certainly found the right place for clean, spiritual association. There is nothing that pleases us more than someone who joins with us in our quest for spiritual knowledge and our never-ending pursuit of self-righteousness. Now let us all take a moment to pray and join in singing song number errrrr, uhhh, 32?
