I do not shop at Wal-Mart. I know too much about the company to justify supporting them. I happily spend $5 more to buy the same products elsewhere. - rebuilding

are British people boring?
by Ellie in.
i've just read a news article that stated that in a recent international survey, britain was voted the best country in the world, but the british people the most boring.. i do wonder what people think of us brits, they seem to have some wild idea that we all drink tea and play cricket, they seem quite unaware of the loutish behaviour that many of us are embaressed about.. what do you think?

I am always forgetting holidays! Even when I remember I feel uncomfortable during holiday gatherings, I don't know the traditions involved. - rebuilding

I noticed JW's posting comments to the online version of the story in my local paper so I made sure to add a couple comments of my own. Keep up the great work on this! These stories are getting peoples attention. It has done my heart good to see the WTS get such 'positive' press. -rebuilding

At 11 years old your daughter is old enough to start seeing the inconsistancies in what the Watchtower teaches. You might start showing her movie ratings and ask what the pictures in JW childrens books should be rated at. Also getting her one-on-one attention with another adult. Private music lessons? Figure skating? A tutor for school? As long at the person is really positive and you can supervise the interaction. Help her set up goals and break them down into reachable objectives to give her something else to focus on. Arrange for different times to socialize with her grandparents scheduled apart from JW meetings, weekly tea maybe, and have her write the invitations. If the grandparents say no, support your daughter with understanding their reasonings.
Try not to put your daughter in the center of a battle between you and your parents over the JW's. Remeber she is Your daughter!

Good luck with your attempt to be reinstated.
I am curious. What is it that you miss about your life as a Witness?

Do you still read the magazines?
by Pleasuredome ini was speaking to a lady today who isnt a witness.
she's a very intellegent, well educated and well travelled girl, and she tells me how much she enjoys reading the watchtower and awake.
i said to her that she has to be joking, and she tells me that she she likes them a lot.
