I miss my family so much. I thought I was over it but I have breakdowns every few months thinking about my family

by macys in

as most of you know i have been shunned by my family for 2 years because of a photo posted on facebook of me kissing another girl at a party.

the matter was not dealt with fairly but it is over now and i am 100% certain that jdub org is a cult.

but i miss my family so much.

Macys, I see that you have made your decision already.

But, I would like to just point out one thing.

You had said: "I would like to have children when I am finished with school and I can not imagine my grand kids asking why they can not see their own grandmother. I can not allow that to happen. So I am planning now to go back and get reinstated so my grand kids can know their grandparents."

You are not dealing with the present. You are living in some fantastical future when you MAY have children. Maybe. It sounds like you are sacrificing your integrity, honesty, and your identity for some event that might happen in the future.

IMO...your priority should be in establishing your personal strength and integrity so that you can be a strong role model for those imagined future children. And the thing you are leaving out of your equation is the imagined future paternal grandparents of those imagined children. Your future children will not be without grandparents - they will have the grandparents on their father's side.

You have gone back to your family of origin, but I think it is a mistake to place the burden of that decision on your imagined future children. They are only a twinkle in your eye and you are already making them the ones responsible for your decision. It doesn't sound hardly fair to them.

I am not criticizing your decision to return to your family, I just don't think it is fair to attribute that decision to children who aren't even born yet.

Good luck, Macys. I hope it all turns out well for you. And I also wish the very best father and paternal grandparents for your future children.

in this age of violence with the san bernardino and france massacres sometimes it's good to reflect on the wise words of the peace advocates among us who proposed a better solution in bringing a more civil society to our universe.

john lennon, martin luther king jr. - people who stood up for equal rights and world peace and denounced violence and war - no matter how that violence occurs.

please feel free to comment on stories of john lennon on this thread and feel free to post any you tubes of his music that you may have enjoyed through the years.

It seems like Larose has reconsidered the name "United States Jehovah's Witnesses Political Action Committee".

It appears like he has filed a name change. (posted on exJW reddit)

http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/107/201512089004154107/201512089004154107.pdf

Larose's "action committee" is re-named "United States Freemasons Political Action Committee".

Either this guy is a total nutcase or someone is having some fun.

"Most women would prefer to be stay at home housewives. Women's lib did alot of damage to women!"

the above is a quote from a jw female relative.

this was in response to a discussion about the suffragette movement ( and the movie about it that's currently in cinemas).

she seemed to think that it would be so much better if women were just daughters/ wives/ mothers and didn't go out to work and have career's?

OrphanCrow

Talesin: Gloria Steinham and Naomi Wolfe...

And we must not forget Germaine Greer and Susan Faludi.

Up until I read Greer, I believed all the bullshit that women were men that lacked a penis. Then I discovered that men were just women without a vagina or uterus.

Thank you, Germaine. :)

Who is Lorenz Reibling and could he be the front man for investment of Brooklyn's Millions?

by Bill Covert in

orphan crow did a important post on lorenz reibling that centered on the medical area of ron lapin and bloodless sugury.

yet the utube interview dealt with reibling in argentina looking to invest in multiple $20 m - $50 m real estate financing.

there was no discussion as to who's money reibling is looking to invest.

OrphanCrow

Vidiot: We've heard recent allegations that the Org has corporate shareholders (and that some aren't even JWs).
If it's true, it wouldn't surprise me if Riebling is one of 'em.

Hehee...it would explain why the WTS isn't opposed to medical marijuana use. Seein' as Rebling has his finger in a marijuana growing company.

StarTrekangel: Seems to me like this guy trolls on every religious and catchy name out there to drag voters.

Haha! He should have done some research before picking the name "United States Jehovah's Witnesses Political Action Committee".

I don't think he will be dragging in many voters from that demographic.

From the link Wifi provided:

Serial candidate
Mississippi Democratic Party Executive Director Rickey Cole described Florida-resident LaRose as a "serial candidate." He previously ran unsuccessfully for Miami mayor, Florida State Senate, U.S. Senate, and Governor of Florida.[2] The website Foolocracy reported that LaRose has created 40 political parties and 160 PACs. Examples of political parties created by LaRose include "American Aristocrats Political Party," "American Music Stars Political Party ," "American Celebrities Political Party," and "American Imperialists Political Party."[3] In August 2010, LaRose had accrued 11 separate fines pending against him by the Florida Elections Commission for late financial report, and was described by Division of Elections spokeswoman Jennifer Davis as a "challenge."[4]
