Welcome Ruby
I was worried too about posting but this forum is full of people who care.
i was and i am ever thankful to this board and all the wonderful members on it that have contributed to my freedom.
thankyou all so much and i think i might be becoming a jwd addict.
i love this board it is so helpful.
JWD has made me laugh and made me cry. It is truly an amazing place.
Reading and then starting to think for myself has made me a real person for the first time.
thank you Simon and the posters on this site
and for any lurkers out there keep reading start living a real life and not a fake one.
i'm new to this forum and hope to get some advice from the experts.
my exwife is a fully jw dedicated do it all convert had decided to put our 9 y.o.
daughter to home school.
I home schooled my children and both got into red brick universities but it definitely isn't for everyone.
My children are bright neither became JW's, they realised it was a cult before I did.
a year ago, i would've never attended.
what a difference a little time makes, huh?
Yes I am afraid, very afraid....................
when i tell them my daughter got the letter in the mail yesterday that she's been accepted to that spiritually-killing, immorality-laden place called the university of british columbia for fall studies!
she's so excited, as am i!.
rose
It's a great feeling !............ congrats to you and her
okay, i've got the frock, got the man... got the guy to bring the papers, it's all sorted.
finalised the numbers, faxed off the menu, programmed the ipod, waxed the legs... and it's not saturday that scares me, i think it's going to be a hugely fun night.
it's the fifty or sixty years after that.
Perfectly natural to be nervous. Try not to take one another too foregranted and do those things that keeps love alive.
I was married for over twenty five years and its a great institution.
Best of Luck for Saturday and CONGRATULATIONS!!
i went to meeting last night (don't ask) and someone asked me to go out in service.
i was taken by surprise and actually agreed to do street work on saturday.
the sister that i'm supposed to work with has always been very kind to me and i know that there is no one else in our hall that will go out with her on saturday morning.
You could ring her and politely say that you have a few personal things going off in your life at the moment and cant see your way clear to go in the field service for awhile. thank her for asking and wish her well.
You dont have to explain yourself too much, the less said, probably the better.
take care

a few years ago i know that the wtbts charged 1% above base rate when a local congregation needed funds from the kingdom hall build fund which all had donated to.. does anyone know if this is still the case?.

..would you thank the bullies now?.
i must admit that the social pressure was a large factor in my exiting.
though it was hell at the time i'd rather that than life as as dub now.
I wasn't bullied but I felt constantly out of place and very green.
I decided not to put my kids through that and taught them at home
thankfully they aren't damaged too bad and both left the JWs at the same time as myself a few years ago
why should kids suffer
as a kid I got left out of everything at school as they knew my parents never let me do anything
for those of yall that didn't know, kristi was a 37-yr-old ms patient that i took care of for the last year of her life.
she had a wonderful ribald sense of humor and talked like a sailor at times.
but it was all to cover up the ultra-sweet and tender heart she had.
what a lovely looking lady with such a lovely nature
her family and yourself will miss her desperately
