You have a right to feel the way you do....I hope your JW friend helps you out....
Blondie is right: what about the 2 witness rule???? Good one, Blondie

i was told today that an elder in a nearby congregation has just told another elder in his congregation that he saw we celebrated christmas last year.
seems he was doing a job on our street (he's a window washer, like all good jw elders) and saw our decorations.. several things bother me about that.. 1. no one could have seen any of our decorations by driving by.
we had no lights outside.

today, my son, beau, is sixteen.
i just don't know where the time goes.
this kid is 6'-3" and sports size 13 shoes.
awe..sweet 16
When I was active, I would call my son and tell him I was thinking about him....no harm in that....
I think that day is a special day no matter what...
take care

I want to know too...if you want to know why please pm me....
I NEED to know....
i was at work today and i noticed a tradesman walking through the building wearing a t-shirt with a company name on it.
i knew it was a dub's trade name and felt sick in the stomach.
i didn't recognize the man wearing the shirt and thought maybe the business had been sold to someone else.. at lunch time i sat near a door and saw the boss of the company.............yes, it was the dub!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
(((Bliss))
I think you have a RIGHT to feel the way you do. They are "reminders" of a pain that they could have STOPPED. I would feel the same as you do.
In fact....I am agry because when the elders came for a welcoming visit a year ago, they said they had to see our publisher cards to know if WE were PEDOPHILES...omg....That was enough for me...
I couldn't imagine walking in your "shoes" and experiencing elders that protect peds and not you or your children.
Keep posting here and venting and release your anger with people that understand you and care for you!
I am so sorry that you and your family had to experience such cruelties in your life.

littletoe, signing in here with an excuse for postponing his dallasfest report (all hours, return visits, and literature shall be duly reported).
i'd give the whole thing, but we're all kinda busy partying here, and a little distracted.... i'll get back with that later (probably after i finally get home and the subject has died!).
rather, i'd like to give a shout out for a couple of birthdays:.
Awe.........here's hoping Gumby and Bull have a wonderful day!!!
Cheers

how many times did you hear that before you were baptized?
i got a little tired of it when someone called me and said that.
this was the first sign of the control thing.
I have to agree with you. They "seem" like they want you to tell them "why" you weren't there.
As a person that has relocated several times, I have witnessed this over and over and I have been raised in the truth(tm).
If they really "missed you"...why haven't they called to see if you need some assistance, or even a coffee at Starbuck's???
It really is a control issue otherwise their "love" would be in action to prove they missed you.
Take care,

a couple of weeks ago, one of the nicest men in the world passed out at work at one of our other stores.
his airway was blocked by cartilege (sp?
) build-up in his trachea.
(((Sally)))
I am so sorry !!!
I have seen death in family members since I was about 8...then my own mother at 14...It is a sad occasion and I agree...There is no logical reason for a family man to die....looks like he had a lot of people that depended on him. I feel so bad for his wife and kids!
It is nice to know that your boss at work that has a heart and stayed with you guys to give you support to finish the work day.

my sister called me and asked if my family would go to her house for lunch and attend a special talk given by another family member that morning.
she is making sort of a party of it and she asked me to attend.
i dont know what to do?
Can't you just go to the lunch????
Why do they make you feel you must do both just to "visit" with them???
They should want to see you whether or not you attend their special meeting. That is unconditional love.

ok, i'm sitting in my sunroom, i got the grill going right outside cooking up some beautiful spareribs with my special hand-rub spices.
after that, i got 4 beautiful well marbled porterhouse steaks just waiting to be grilled to perfection.
my preference has always been using a charcoal grill.
Charcoal does have BETTER flavor!!!
with millions of people traveling this memorial day weekend i am curious.. where are you going this weekend?
where would you go if time and money were not obstacles?.
i am going camping in the forest near the oregon coast.
Tahiti or Fiji...of course I would never come back!!!
