JG,
Good on you. If that's what you feel you want to do then go ahead.
I would be worried as well if I were your mum too, but as long as you're careful and don't break the law then I hope you have a great time.
Let us know how it goes

my mom is an ex jw and was disfellowshipped in 1980. she is worried about my upcoming plans to picket the convention, she is afraid that i will get arrested and lose my job.
i told her this is basically something i feel i have to do and the only way to get this off my chest and feel a sense of satisfaction.
i assured her i wouldnt scream or cuss at people but would act civilized and pass out flyers concerning several issues.

I've had a great last few days.
My sister had a baby a week ago, she lives in Tasmania.
My Dad and I flew over to see her and the baby. My mum was there also. We had a great time, fighting over the newborn and catching up. The baby is absolutely beautiful, she so adorable, kept trying to kidnap her.
My Dad and I are disfellowshipped and my Mum is inactive. My sister and her husband are still witnesses. My mum and Dad are divorced and have both remarried. There spouses were not there. I left my kids at home with their father, will take them over later to visit.
We sat and chatted and had a great time, was just like old times. My Dad and I could not stay overnight so we checked into the local Pub for the night. My sister lives in this really quaint old townand the Pub was great, really old and a bit run down but really nice. Was real cheap and we had great Pub brekkie the next morning.
A few of my sisters witness friends even popped in to visit, and even though they new my Dad and I were disfellowshipped they sat and chatted with us.
My dad came back to Melbourne with me and stayed for a few day at my place before he went back to London. We had a great time, watching DVD's, drinking beer and eating junk food. We took My son to Football on the saturday morning and watched him and his friends play. Was hilarioud watching a bunch of 6 year olds slip and slide around a football oval for and hour.
Just had to share with everyone. My nerves and emotions have been so battered and torn lately, spending time with those I love the most was just what I needed.
Photos are of me outside the pub we stayed at, and the river near were my sister lives.
Would love to post Pics of the baby but I don't think my sister and her husband would like it.
today has not been too good.
yesterday, while i was in sydney for the day with a friend (to have a break and do a girlie shopping day)..............i received a phone call from my brother to inform me that a very special cousin of mine in italy had committed suicide.
i was devastated, she was so special and we had been close.. so here i was driving back from sydney last night knowing a loved one was dead!
Dear Bliss,
So sorry to hear about your cousin.
Sorry about what happened to your child also, I know how hard it is to bump into that kind of person. I bump into my childs abuser now and then and the feelings are really hard to deal with. Anger, guilt, frustration, terror. The feelings take ages to subside again, I hate it also.
Hope your starting to feel better again soon.

almost 2 years ago, my sister-in-law lori left the mormon church.
she's been on the big ex-mormon board, but mostly reading.
anyway, i saw her today and we were having some great chitchat.
Yay, go Lori. Will have to remember that one for next time the elders come round for there visit.
LOL.
special greetings to the assembled throngs at englishman's place today and a great big g'day to the international "delegates!!"!!
we're sure you're having a great time with plenty of eating, drinking and reminiscing.
and don't forget to ask mike about pompey!!
20. Other.
Usually who I was going to catch up with that week and were we were going shopping.
Real important stuff. Nothing spiritual.
...are seperating, and darn it feels so weird.
one day i'm like "yeah, ok, sounds like this could be for the best" and the next day i'm feelin like :( i'm all packed up and ready to go on the 28th of this month, have arranged a new place to live not too far away from my boys, cant imagine life without them running around causing havoc everyday...but my wife and i are still handling things well and arranging weekly visits for them so i guess i have to look on the bright side.
wont share anymore except to say there is no 3rd person involved or anything like that .
Brummie,
So sorry to hear about your separation.
I know how you're feeling. My hubbie and I separated a few months ago. It was weird for a while but gradually gets better. We are probably better friends now than we've ever been. We have kids also so stay in contact because of them.
I don't know how old your kids are, but they will cope, mine are 2 and 6. If you can still try and help out your wife with the kids, it is hard adjusting to being on your own with kids. Really emotionally draining, especially at night jus before bed time.
If you need to talk just PM me.
Lehaa
wasasister you rock!.
just got off the phone with her.
you are great.
Count me in, i'll be a sister, aunt, cousin. Whatever you need.
I need family too.
remember when that was so much fun?
your parents set it up on the lawn and you wore your bathing suits all day and ate popsicles, laid out to dry?.
when was the last time you did that??
Yep, love it. Want to go now, bit chilli here though, middle of winter.
This is my favourite painting at the moment.
It's by an artist called Amanda Dunbar.

well, my mom is critically ill, i'm afraid.
she can't breathe, it's a constant battle, i don't know what to do.
I agree with the others, just be ther for her and leave the rest up to the doctors and nurses, I agree with Blondie, keep in communication with all her doctors. If you can call a friend to come sit with you, just someone to talk to would be a big help for you emotionally.
doubt it would work, depends on how devoted she herself is, not her family. Hell all my family are elders and MS but i managed to get out. Just give her crisis of conscience to read, that should sort her out, mind you she probably wont read it because she's been brainwashed by her family.
If your not devoted to it and she it then I wouldn't bother, it would not be fair on either of you, especiaslly if you decide to have kids.
Best of luck.
Lehaa.
