sometimes i have to recheck my motives for doing things.. sometimes i do things for the pure joy of it...dance, yoga, nature walk, listen to music, read something interesting, etc.

but, sometimes when i am engaged in something, like college studies(which i do for the end result and also enrichment), i get flashes of my past that creep in that remind me of a negative message, and it makes me wonder if one of my motives is to also prove something about my self.

at times i recall my ex-husband calling me 'stupid' or 'dumb'.

One imagines we all yearn for kindness.

I'm wondering if it is fair to observe that while few know how to initiate kindness, most know how to reciprocate.

If so, "all" we have to do is continually spread kindness to receive it back.

BIG conversation with the missus MKII. Ended well. Wish I could argue better!

well, had a loooooooong conversation with the missus again after being accused of being overly critical of the borg.. .

i stated that i thought the borg was marvellous, full of really good people, (in our experience, it has been so far), but that i had difficulty with the dogmatic stance we had on certain issues that we couldn't possibly be sure about, and that if i were to vocalise any of these issues and unrepentantly not change my thinking, then i could be df'd for that, which i view as an unloving bullying tactic.

organ transplants, vaccinations, (jah will resurrect, don't worry), new understandings of the fads and generations etc... particularly the thought that only jw's will be saved.

In the end it could be quite powerful if a simple question helped her to reason and see for herself.

Whatever works though.

Sounds like good progress.

How do you reconnect if you've been DF'd?

i am helping out a support group in spanish for ex-jw's and i need help on something:.

if one is df'd, how would one ever help your relatives?

how to get to talk to them and try and help them to come out of the cult?

I think using a third party could work.

I am looking to make myself available as a third party in the future.

I can't believe how sexist the Borg is!!!

by quellycatface in

just letting off a bit more steam.

why can't sisters look after the library or the sound.

what makes the brothers so damned special???.

Fernando

Women I believe have been greatly favoured and protected from being refused positions in the evil apostate "ruling religious clergy class" hierarchy of Pharisees.

Men, to our eternal shame, have for thousands of years, blighted this earth with religion and war.
