Thank you everyone for your comments. I confronted her and told her how much it hurt and she totally apologized.

I have mastered the wireless router!
by Princess inafter months of promising my seven year old son, i have finally set our computer up with dsl.
that isn't such a big deal since we have had broadband cable for at least a couple of years.
the big deal is, i set up a wireless router and connected both computers to a network so we have both computers set up with dsl internet access.. so, after hours of total frustration i gave up.

Oh man I have been there. I took me three hours to get the darn thing working -- calling the techs did nothing -- they were useless. I called a friend who was on the internet reading the directions and he walked me through every step (of course he is the IT guy at a place I used to work). It was a nightmare!!!! Last week my teenager got a new computer and I needed to get it working on her computer. Somehow I managed to get it working -- but I couldn't tell you how to do it again. I love the wireless network now -- but I would not want to install it again.

I love it! I like how you are quick thinking to say you were formerly with the LDS. I can't think that fast. LOL

Oh yeah, and I asked her who was invited. When she told me who was invited, I thought I would ask her if her boyfriend was invited -- because I would have bet money on the fact that she did invite him. And I was right.

Thank you Special K (I will never ever go back either) and Flyin (good point).
Elsewhere -- we talk at least three times per day on the phone and email frequently and the subject just came up in conversation. She wasn't doing it spitefully -- she really was just quite clueless.

I am feeling pretty negative today. I got a call from a family member (a successfully faded family member) who asked me if I was going to another family member?s wedding. I told him I had not been invited. I assume it is due to the fact that I am no longer part of the ?borg?. It hurt my feelings, but whatever ? I save money on a gift.
Then my best friend of 30+ years (she is faded, but allows her children to go to meetings) tells me in an email that she is having a party for one of her kids. I ask her who is going and she lists all the names of her family members and others. A bit of background ? her siblings have recently back stabbed her for some stupid offense. But they are ?family? so she invites them to this party. She tells me that she invited everyone on evite.com (but I wasn?t invited). We are closer than sisters (or so I feel that way). So then I ask her (via email) if she invited her boyfriend. (non-witness who recently CHEATED on her). Long pause before her response and she says ? I sent him the invite just so he knows about it, but I don?t want him to go. I. . . on the other hand did not even receive an invite just so I know about it. I am really hurt. I see it as her protecting these dubs from me -- I am harmless.
I am tired of being beaten up by rules and organization has laid out that still affect me to this day. Am I really that evil? I know I am not, but it sure feels that way.
Makes me want to just pick up my stuff and walk away ? never to come into contact with my family or friend. I wish I did not get affected by these feelings of hurt so much.

If you had to change one thing you did while being a JW, what would it be?
by MelbaToast in.
i have seen so many stories here that invoke guilt and shame on innocents, what one important momyumental thing would you have changed if you had it to do over?.
mine would be not getting baptized.

Mine would be not getting baptized.
That is the thought that came to mind when I saw the topic. I was baptized at 15 -- I barely even knew how to wipe my a** -- let alone make a life long decision.
