  who owns the power to control outcome?

  the answer is: authority.. who automatically has the right answers?.

  the answer is: experts.. who can force automatic reactions of compliance?.

  That was awsome. I have never been a witness but hubby us. When hubby and my self run into a member when we're out I shun them. I wont look at, talk to, or acknoledge theirpresence. Even though they try to ingage conversation with me. The exception was about 2 weeks ago when elder and pioneer wife show up on my door srep for a study I asked for way back in January. Pioneer wife texted me all day. She had agreed to meet with me alone to discuss several items I brought up to her then all of a sudden she called it off. I think elder told her NO after she told him what I wanted to discuss

  I have been watching a lot of movies on UPTV lately. I just finshed watching a movie titled "To Save a Life" It's about a high school boy whose best friend from childhood commited suicide because he was basicly "shunned" because he had a limp. A limp he sustained when he saved the life of his best friend. He pushed his best friend out of the way of a speeding car and was hit instead. This allowed the best friend to excell at basket ball and get a scolorship to college. The best friend started to "shun" his life saver durring their freshman year in high school. The life saver couldn't take it any longer and put a bullet in his head in front of the student body his senior year. The best friend begain to find Jesus after a youth pastor reached out to him. He wound up reaching out to other students who were also being "shunned" He wound up saving another student from commiting suicide.

  It was so insperational. I was left both happy and sad at the end. Happy at the change in the boy and sad at wishing there was someone like him when I was in school. There was a song playing early in the movie titled "Outside Looking In" That song was how I have felt and was most of my life. I have found Jesus again in the last 6 months. My faith grows deeper everyday. If you ever get a chance to see the movie I highly recomend it. I would post the You Tube video of the song but I have no idea how to copy and paste from my tablet.

  Since just about everyone I have come in contact with has abuse me in someway. That is why I feel I will never escape. Its like I have a neon sigh that says feel free to abuse.

  Now onto my brother. No suprise that he's an alcoholic like I am. He has never really liked me. When I was 2 months old he went after me with garden sheers. When I was 2 he hit me in the head with a baseball bat and I got in trouble. When I was 3 he pushed me off the porch and my chin was cut and I got 4 stiches. Between ages 7 and 12 I was in the ER at least once a week with some sort of injury. When I was 14 he broke my nose because he thought I took to long in the bathroom. I can't tell you how many broken bones and stiches he was responsible for.

  My sister is just like my brother. She takes it a bit further with emotional abuse. Heck she even convinced a judge to grant a perminate restraining order/no contact order. I never kept my son from loving her or my brother for that matter. Since she saw a fertility expert she was able to finally able to get pregnant. She now has 2 boys of her own. I have only seen my nephews a grand total of 15 minutes. 1 is 17 and the other is 14. I felt it wasn't my place to decide for my son who he could love or not. I never said anything negative about her until my son was 19 and asked why his Aunt hated me.

  When I joined JWN I had been a member when a few of you went over the line calling my a lier, a mole and a lot of other very hurtful things. I was real close to never visit this forum again. I asked another member for help and they got intouch with Simon who told 1 person in particlar to knock it off. I didn't know Simon was the moderator then. Simontold 1 member to knock it off with the name calling. I assumed Simon removed most of the offending posts. I have also been chewed out by others because of 2 other posts I made.

  Believe it or not this 5 part story is the short version. I know my story may be unbelieveable to some and you may think I an lying. I am not. I do know that there are others out there whose biography is a lot worse than mine. I learned that in AA.
