I dont get why this is even worthy of a discussion. People do offensive things in public all the time and yet for some strange reason, breastfeeding is included in inappropriate social behaviour??
Give me a break and get over it already.

A rule for all beginning relationships: The questions that you hold back asking now, will eventually be asked.
Would you rather ask now, "Is this relationship worth it to you?" or later?
There was not a doubt in my mind with my husband when we were dating that I felt like the following: (the Googoo dolls' song, "Iris")
"And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest thing to heaven that I'll ever be"Jez

Congratulations!!!!
I am very happy for you!
About the JW in-laws....my mother was involved with my children until I left. She not only cut me off cold turkey, but her granddaughters as well. They were only 6 and 10 when they lost her as a grandmother. SO, better that your son never knows his grandmother, than to know her and then lose her. "Mom, why doesn't grandma come visit anymore?" I will tell my new son (coming in 3 months) that he doesn't a grandmother on my side. MUCH easier, especially since I have inherited amazing grandparents on my husbands side, have a wonderful father, and a step-mom.
Look at what you HAVE, not what you don't have.

Update: This name game is driving me crazy. I still dont have anything concrete. "Harlan" is one name that we like. I just am not sure. I might narrow it down to 5 and then when I see him, see if one name suits him over another.
AHHHHHH

Wow, some really good ones. I will run them past my husband. He is so particular. Vetos everything. I really really love the name Aiden. He doesn't like it.
He liked the name.....Story! Imagine! What a horrible name!
I like the following names: Hayden, Derek, Harlan, Darius, Tarek, Ash, Aden, Amias, Blaze and Coel.

I am forgetting....
by Jez ini jumped on my pc at work for a few mins today to read the latest.
as i read, i noticed, i am forgetting what it was like to be a jw.. everything i read is taking on such a foreign air about it, that is no longer talking about me, but someone else, something i vaguely remember being.. i am so peaceful to realize that i have finally forged my own way in life, seen things for what they really are, not having a massive multimillion dollar organization breathing down my neck and trying to dictate my thoughts and actions, being truly happy and excited about the future, not sick with fear.. i love this place i am at.
through time and education, i finally feel so "worldly".

I love this place I am at. Through time and education, I finally feel so "worldly". In the "world", the term worldly means well travelled, well educated, knowledgeable about many things, etc...it is a POSTIVE thing. JW, as usual, coin this term as their own and transform it into something negative. It could not be more positive for me.

New and SAD...
by The Dreamer inhello all...i've been searching for some sort of comfort in my situation.

i found some comfort to know that i am not alone in my challenging of my faith.

Oh wow. I am sooo sorry for you. I can't believe that you went and confessed, only to be df'ed. How unloving. Too bad you fell for that ol "they have a right to know everything about your life." It was none of their business what happened in your personal life. Sadly, the boundaries between privacy are very blurred when you are in.
Going to meetings for one year and still not reinstated!! And df'ed only for drinking!! Crazy! I was df'ed for adultry and reinstated within 3 months. No consistency. It is about who you know and whether or not they like you.
My heart really goes out to you. I hope you find peace and fill your life with positive ppl. The sad thing is, once you are shunned by your family, it is never right again because you see a part of them that should never be seen. For them to be able to do that, hurts much deeper than anything. Conditional love is not love. Five for fighting's song "The Reason". He says one line that always sums up for me now what is so lacking with most JW's. "I love you free". I won't accept anything less now. At one time, I was desperate for acceptance, even on their terms. Now, I want to be loved, free.
You are in my thoughts and hopes. Jez

Acadian has shown you a powerful article from the 1979 WT 1/1 30-3.
To me, that is all that would be necessary. It is from a WT, so your Mom will read it. To me, that speaks volumes of the hypocrisy.
