  What the F***!

  Those poor kids, going through all that, then put in separate foster homes. Having to verbalise what they went through, probably over and over. Then waiting three years for the court case, probably having to testify in court, be cross examined. Going through all that and their parents only getting nine months. That's just horroble.

  If the parents had stolen something or been convicted of fraud they would have gotten a lot more than that. Again just another example of how the justice system does not work. Why would anyone else come forward and charge their parents with abuse, why go through all that just to have the judge slap you in the face and tell you your life was worth nothing.

  No wonder people take matters into their own hands.

  Those people should have been given at least 15 years, time equivalent to the time they abused their kids.

  None of my JW family would invite me to their wedding, so that is out of the question. (my kids are little so that won't be an issue for a while)

  Funeral, only if it was a family member.

  He was really supportive and encouraging, told me just to hang it there and it will get easier.

  Just had to share. Happy day for me.

  Oh, also my sister went into labor last night, anytime now and I'll be an auntie.

  Double happy day.

  how's things this weekend for you?

  here in nsw we're gripped by our customary drought and water for domestic use is getting in short supply.

  each day brings another blue sky and we enjoy the weekend afternoons on picnics or just generally outdoors.

  #3. So happy it was over for anther year.

  I never clapped was too busy getting all our stuff together so we could high tail it out of there.

  This reminds me of something funny my son did after one CA.

  After the final prayer he asked me quite loudly ."Mummy is it finished now, can we go home?" ,"Yes I replied", "And do we have to come back tomorrow?" he asked, "No" i replied. " Good" he said. I thought it was hilarous. The elderly sister that was sitting behind us leaned over and said to me "Out of the mouths of babes, he's just saying what we're all thinking" I LMAO, kept me smiling all the way home.

  I would not start saying anything negative about his mother or the Borg. I reply to my son when he says that sort of stuff to me " Well that's what some people believe and other people belive other things, but it's up to you what you believe." you could add, "do you want to know what dad believes."

  Kids are smart and he will start to work stuff out for himself.

  The other night my son wanted to say a prayer before dinner, in that prayer he asked to help mummy so she could talk to her friends at the kingdom hall again. I'm disfellowshipped and there father is still a witness. I was flabergasted and immediately though that that must be what his father says in his prayers, don't know my son may just have been saying what he tinnks.

  Kids say a lot of stuff they're not sure of as they try to process the information they get.

  Don't start talking negatively about what you're ex wife believes it will only confuse your son, he will repeat what you say to his mother and do you really want to make her angry. You don't want your son to believe his mother is a liar.

  Just tread carefully and think about everyting from your son's point of view.

  Did you wear your badge outside the convention, so as to "give a witness?"

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  this year at the dc, we were expressly told to wear our badges at all times, even when going to a restaurant or some place else, so we could "give a witness.".

  did any of you hear follow through with this arrangement?

  did you have one of those "fantastic" experiences, when someone commented on your badge?.

  HadEnuf.

  Congratulations. It feels good doesnt it. I had my belly button pierced just before I got disfellowshipped, and then last week I got my first tattoo. A butterfly on my lower back. I love it going to get some more done later.

  Good on you, can you post a picture of it, would love to see it.

  It feels great to be able to do that sort of thing and not have people frowning at you all the time.

  So happy for you.
