Not sure I buy into the whole rolling it up and the back not scratching the screen as it rolls it's bending parts onto itself and with all those moving parts and reconfigurations it could just be a bit high maintenance. But otherwise Fanshy Schmanshy. :)

why i wept bitterly in front of two elders......
by oompa innot sure if i ever shared this...but have seen several "sharing" threads here lately and it motivated me..... when i met with the co and po about some doubts and an important question....and when i got the co's answer.....i could not speak....i put my head down and just started crying...not sobbing cause i fought it back...finally the only words to come out were..."i am going to have to leave my wife and son"....and they were like wtf?...but in jw lingo of course.
see i knew in that instant...that very moment....that i had been lied to my entire life...and my stack of doubts i had been piling on the shelf and waiting on jehovah were all valid....and i knew i would never fit in again...not even with my wife and son...that i would never be the spiritual head they needed and wanted.....that was almost 4 years ago...man time flies...and yep...now i am separated from my jw wife...and yep...i did not fit in...not even with her...and my son is older now and moved out but we are not close.
btw...i had printed out all 12 places in rev.

sad the many ways people perpetuate organized harm to other people by turning a blind eye to or jumping to erroneous conclusions about obvious instances of being unfaithful in what is least.
scary to begin to realize how many ways and places this occurs in life and how naivete/ignorance/arrogance/incompetence contributes to compounding damages.
maddening to watch certain known fallacies injustices and abuses get rationalized away and the very real human element get treated as expendable for the sake of preserving the comfort of liars and collectives.
tiring to face these battles alone (so we too 'organize' and perpetuate our own waves of harm)
empowering to be accountable for our own ripple effects thereby avoiding becoming what we hate.
relief to simplify and focus on 'being the change we wish to see in the world'.

Learning to Ski ! (time for a mid-year resolution)
by Simon inso we've been here in calgary for 2 and a half years now, through 3 winters and right near to snow-covered slopes of nakiska, lake louise (sunshine village), banfff, golden (kicking horse), fernie, kimberley and probably others.. how much skiing have we done in that time?
people fly half way round the world to ski here and we haven't bothered driving down the road.
i feel bad ... like a rubbish canadian (we can't ice-skate either!).

With friends is my favorite way to go. :) I've never taken an official lesson in my life but have always seemed to luck out ending up with the best folks to go and end up with great tips to get me by on the rare occasions that I've gone. Skiers are awesome people. :) I second the comments that the view from the top is spectacular. Well worth it all even if you're not a regular! Snowmobiling is great too if you have a group to go with and especially if you go to a lodge somewhere in the thick of a mountain range. :) Hope you have fun and stay safe.

My life ... and how JWD came to be - Part 5
by Simon inmy life ... and how jwd came to be - part 1. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 2. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 3. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 4. i swear, i thought it was only a couple of years at most since i wrote part 4 of "my life and how jwd came to be".
i re-read it after someone posted to it and brought it back on active topics and it was kind of prophetic in a way ... well, i had the 5 years part right if nothing else:.
it would be nice to visit the site (or whatever one is around then) in 5 years time to let people know how we're doing and find only a few of the same people still around.

Heartwarming. And not boring ... I think the word is STABLE. :)
Wonderful to hear a bit about your adventure getting over here and
how your journey has unfolded. Sorry about your mom though
and glad to hear how you recognize that many people go through
somewhat parallel experiences with their own families and religions.
And seriously, this has been one of the better online forums I've ever visited,
through and through. (Still looking forward to what is coming!)

Pardon my late entry on this thread, I haven't seen if you've gone for a ski yet or not.
I highly recommend renting skis the first go or so, this can be done right at the hill or from sportsrent, the experts there are very helpful.
COP is sure to have lessons for beginners which is totally worth any expense incurred, IMO.
You need to learn how to stop before you have fun learning how to go very fast. -

Feeling it today
by Heartbreaker ini know there is talk on here about post traumatic stress and its affects, but i never imagined i'd feel like i was going through it.
now, not on a large scale i hope, but the last few days i've just really been feeling the hurt of losing my family, and those people i counted as friends in the congregations and assemblies that will not longer view me as acceptable to be around.
my teen daughters have friends, and a crowd to be around, and my husband has even made some contacts that he had before, and ones that he's met new that share hobbies and interests.

(((Heartbreaker))) I can relate to so much of what you wrote. More than what any of my posts might reveal or even hint at.
I'm very glad that you are acknowledging and expressing your feelings. To the best of my understanding and experience, that's a huge part of the process.
I'm not around the forum very much and feel ill-equipped to be of much real assistance to you right now, but for what it's worth, you're not alone in feeling the very real and valid emotions you describe when parallel circumstances bring up the nausea, anxiety, sadness, anger, and other powerful emotions, after the fact. I hope you will continue chatting with us as need be and also find a safe secure time and place (and person if possible, your hubby ... or does your workplace have an employee assistance program or benefits coverage with access to counseling?) to let these things out safely. Let the tears flow. Your body needs to let them out. It's a natural and healthy response to unnatural circumstances. Trust nature to do it's thing.
Please take care of yourself as much as possible with sleep and good eats and slow deep breathing too. And please be compassionate with yourself. From my own experiences, it can feel pretty scary to be experiencing such powerful emotions, especially when you are so accustomed to being "the strong one" through thick and thin while everyone else falls apart at the seams. But you can get through this. It might even serve to make you stronger than ever.
My thoughts are with you.
