first post, need to purge my feelings!
by Krista inthis is my first post and here's my story.. my father became a witness long ago and my mom remained a lutheran.
our attendance was sporadic due to mom's opposition.
they knew our mom was lutheran and that she kept us from attending many meetings.

Raising boys
by JeffT inraising boys (or for that matter, girls, too).
a) for those with no children - this is totally hysterical!.
b) for those who already have children past this age, this is hilarious.. c) for those who have children this age, this is not funny.. d) for those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning.. e) for those who have not yet had children, this is birth control.. .

I went when a very close friend of our family passed, he was like an uncle to me,
very sweet old man. But one of the elders in my JC made a big deal about me
sitting with my family, and i shouldnt have been allowed to sit with them, and that
i should have been in the back. I was already emotional as it was, and he made the
whole experience very miserable for me. I cant stand that guy!
Anyhow, my 'spriritual' Grandmother died a couple years ago and i didnt go to
the service at the hall. I really wanted to go, but since i had such a bad experience
before, i did not want to repeat that. I was so sad over her passing, i mourned her
at home in my own way, it still makes me sad to think about her, i would have
wanted her family to know how much i loved her, but sometimes we allow things
like what that elder did to get in the way.
Would i attend another service at the hall. Probably not, but then again, i would have
to base that on the circumstance.MP

Why don't JW's list THEIR invitation?
by Golden Girl ini always wondered why the jw religion doesn't list their location and invitation to their meetings in the local "church and worship places section of our paper?.
i was told when i was a jw that it is because they are no part of "babylon the great".
i settled for that.. .

great question, i dont have an answer for you, but i have wondered that myself.
I was always told the same as you, that they never wanted to be referred to as
a religion.
interested to see what others have to say.Then again, we are talking about the dubs, they can say and do whatever they
want and not have a reason for it.MP

wow, you almost got me sucked in there.. i was about to pay the $19.99. lol
they didnt destroy my view of humanity at all, in fact they just confirmed what i already knew..
That people out there are good and nice. They just want to be loved, successful and happy.
I have met so many good, honest 'worldly' people since i left, its hard to beleive i was so
afraid of them.MP

It is finished, or is it just beginning?
by IP_SEC inwell i am no longer one of jehovah's witnesses.
i had fully intentioned to disassociate myself from the platform today, but i decided that if i wanted a chance to save my marriage that i'd better tell my wife.
she immediately went to to one of the elders.

yes bebu, we have been friends for about.. what would you say matt.. 12 years or so!?!
were sorta like family. our families are very close. It is very exciting, i have always
hoped to see someone on here that i know.
Ironically i heard through the gossip line that Matt had da'd and belonged to an
apostate discussion group online, i learned what his online name was and low and
behold.. here he is!!! SO weird the way things happen.
This all defniatly makes me wonder who else is out there that i know!!! -
