in today's mail came a envelope from ms. b[edit] c[edit] of rawlins, wyoming.
betty and her family were our longtime associates while were in the cult of jehovah's witnesses.
enclosed were photographs of my wife, daughter, myself and my wife's sister.
I am really sorry to read about what your past "friends" mailed to you.
I second what Blondie said
They are certainly not Christians by their actions.
Althought it hurts to be shunned this way, don't waste your positive energy on their negativity.

from what i can see, it's the "lack of love" that gets people to realize the witnesses don't have the "truth" after all!
Maybe the term "lack of love"should be expanded to a name that envelopes the many facets of "lack of love": "SPIRITUAL ABUSE".

When I saw the last 10 minutes of the May 2002 Dateline Special exposing the pedophiles within the WTBS, equated severe HYPOCRISY. After all, they constantly put down the Catholic Church for that reason and the WTBS was doing the same thing. Hypocrisy doens't mix with "spirit and truth"...
and the LACK OF LOVE. I know being raised in the truth(tm) that I kept stuffing different "scenes of lack of love" to the back....because I thought it was the True Religion. You know how we were told to keep forgiving so Jehovah would forgive us?
The hugest lack of love was from a welcoming visit to our home when we relocated when they said: "we need your publisher cards cause YOU might be PEDOPHILES." That was the icing on the cake........
A true religion doesn't accuse new members of such a disgusting action!

sunday the 17th iwill be meeting him for the fist time.
i would like some feedback as to any questions you all may have(i have a bunch of my own) of which i will post next sunday night.
please keep them as short as possible so i,m not carrying a whole book when i go.
Hi!
I sent him an email just before his surgery, expressing thanks for writing his 2 books that I enjoyed. I never got a response, and didn't expect one because he was so sick. I would like to know how he is doing? I hope he is feeling much better.
You can again tell him how much his straight forward, non judgemental, sincere writings enabled many to know the real "truth" and we are thankful he took the time to do it!!!
Thank you,

i'm shopping for a new refrigerator and wanted to get your opinions on stainless steel appliances.
i love the look of them - but i've heard it is difficult to keep them looking nice because of fingerprints, etc.. .
i've seen some other finishes that look like stainless steel - they have a sateen coating that doesn't smudge and streak like stainless.
Carefully:
We have had our appliances for 2 years. I like the fridge, dishwasher, and overhead microwave......but I am not happy with the oven...(perhaps a different model, I sometimes have problems with consistant heating).
And...I must say, you NEVER use Windex on your stainless, only the approved cleaners that are recommended by the manufacturer!!!
They keep coming out with better cleaners that are easier to use too!!!

this is the key marketing ploy of the wtbts.
play on peoples' natural fears, then promise to make it all go away.
for a small introductory price.
Your right Jgnat
Since I stopped placing mags and giving home-baked cookies to my neighbors the results are way better for me and for my neighbor!
When I relocated this last time, I handed out homemade cookies!!! Now, that's what brings a smile to their faces and mine!!!

I have all stainless steel appliances in my home....it is a bit harder to keep up but the looks are worth it. We get a lot of compliments on our kitchen. I have Frigidaire. (husband picked them out, not me)
Our home was appraised more because of the appliances too!!!

i chose "the society of smoke and mirrors" or "the fuzzy logicians".
but the best one is "the blindfaithians".

you guys i need help...please bear with as this is a rather long post...i had to give you guys the history of this....there still might be things i'm leaving out, but i'll explain in the future..... my sister wants me to help her plan my parent's wedding anniversary party.
they never celebrated it in the past because my dad is an idiot.
my wife and i declined to assist because of the way they have treated us in the past and because of the preferential treatment given to my sister and my fathers 7 other children.
I second what Outnfree said
We don't get to pick our relatives but we can "chose" who we spend out time with.
I believe in spending time with people that make me feel good about myself and make me feel loved!!!
