Here it is folks cry until you feel better. I made this room in the members section where no trolls can get in. If they wanna cry they have to become one of us.
Who will be the first step right up.

Do I have to be crying because someone was "mean" to me on the board, or can I cry just because life has got me down?

Thanks, Brick, I got your hug. And I need something to get me healthy. My "wah" for the day is that I'm sick, but I have kids so I can't hide in bed all day. And my six-year old is sick, so he's an extra whiney! Waaaaaaahhhh!

I can feel your pain. My youngest is just getting over the flu and I think my wife has it coming on. You're right. No rest for Mom, sick or not.

there are many reasons to cry.
sometimes crying comes without tears.
crying can be catchy.
crying can annoy.
crying can be self induced.
crying can be genuine.
crying can annoy and cause you to feel bad because you know you shouldn't be annoyed.
but crying because a few people way over on the edge of our continent are getting us into all sorts of trouble, and even getting us killed, and endangered............ for their profits..... is not going to help......
stopping listening to the liars is a big start....
its my party and i'll cry if i want to, cry if i want to, cry if i want to

Actualy I read an article in good housekeeping or ladies home journal just last week about the differences in men and womens crying.
It is the bodies natural release of stress alot of times.
I thought of the same song lonely star. That was during my growing up yrs that it was popular.

Crying, by Roy Orbison
I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
but I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
as you stopped to say hello
oh You wished me well,
You couldn't tell that
I've been crying over you,
Crying over you and you said "So long"
Left me standing all alone,
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying
It's hard to understand
that the touch of your hand can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more than I did before
But darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
and I'll always be
Crying over you, crying over you
yes now you're gone
and from this moment on, I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying over you

Well, I don't have the flu, the weather is nice, and (so far) no sick kids! Hugs to all of you who are feeling 'down' for whatever reason. It's nice to know others care, and we can share.
My cry for today is a rerun from many others off and on for years.... sorry for that... but it's made me feel so bad again...... we had a recent visit with the workers. They are very kind, but because we are on the west side of the country, we do not 'belong'. Although we are welcome to attend meetings, we are not allowed to participate. We knew that going into marriage after divorce. But being told again that we are not a part of them, so cannot have any part with them, really hurts. We continue going, because we believe this is God's will for us and we have a part in his plan. But I keep looking for some iota of mercy and compassion and revelation! Has anyone heard anything recently to give me a little hope this may ever change over here?!

I wish I had some hope for you, but I'm on the right side of the country, but still feel your pain. Just know that people care for you no matter what the man made rules are.

People aren't perfect and honestly, the things they do sometimes really sucks.  I'm sorry you have been hurt. Please keep praying. There are people who go to meeting with us who do not speak but are as much or more a part of us than some who do speak. Sending you a hug. peace, freespirit |

It sounds to me Julio that you have the right spirit. With that right spirit coming forth from you,
it speaks loudly to people even if you don't speak in meetings. I have been in meetings with
those who were not "allowed" to take part and they meant alot to us who could take part.

Thank you, Gem and freespirit, you are encouraging to me. Mostly we keep our spirits up. We love the meetings, and always go away fed and having felt the spirit. I appreciate the love we feel from our brethren.

Has anyone heard anything recently to give me a little hope this may ever change over here?! I would love to cheer you up and give you some ray of sunshine that there is movement on the D&R issue in the West. I try to watch the issue and listen carefully for any softening. At this time, there is none and nothing on on the horizon. Overseers in the West are all relatively young and most will still be around 15-20 years from now. I would suggest looking for joy under these auspices as you find now, in the encouragement in the meetings and in your private relationship with God. God will keep you, and in my opinion, it is highly possible for you to have a closer relationship with God than for those who have an easy row to hoe. It seems that often when people have an easy ride, they take it for granted whereas with yourself, you have to turn to God regularly to keep the faith, and that's a good thing. |

Hopefully one day they will allow you to participate. Personally, I feel the restrictions are ridiculous, as only God knows the full situation and your heart. Besides such treatment is not equal worldwide in the F&W. I've known some couples who are given permission to take part years later.
I really don't understand this... rule... or whatever it is. Afterall, God does not tell us we cannot participate in his fellowship and love when we do something sinful. I don't know the terms of your divorce or marriage, so I dont know whether it was sinful on your part or not, but why aren't other sins "punished"? I know those in the fellowship who cheat, deal dishonestly, and are involved in things they should not be involved in, yet are allowed to take part... or even lead a meeting.
Like I said, I don't understand how they pick who is worthy or not of taking part. But, I am glad you have a good spirit about it.

We knew that going into marriage after divorce. But being told again that we are not a part of them, so cannot have any part with them, really hurts. Julio.... if you could pm me an address of your overseer's... I would love to send them a poem... about love.... where is it? I wrote it, (not very good), after having been in a meeting for a bit where a lady being married to a non-professing man was ask not to take part. She was from an area a ways away from here and in that area they frown on that. She now takes part.... the whole meeting went to the overseer and told him that if she was coming she could take part... and if God thought she shouldn't then he would remove her from the meeting and we didn't feel it was our place to do that judging. We wanted to hear from her why she felt the need to come to those meeting.. and soon there after it changed. It can happen... but I feel it happens because of love... not someone getting upset over it and making a big stink. I have really enjoyed fellowship in this group and hope you the best in your journeys. In loving kindness |

Would the overseers rather people live in misery? Would they rather someone live in an abusive situation than divorce.
If they feel they would prefer anyone to live in these situations rather than divorce they should take a serious look at there reasons.
