I agree. Sounds encouraging.
Hey, don't feel bad about crying. You have a lot of pent up emotions. When the "cup" gets full, it overflows. Makes you human.

26my mom and my sister came to visit....
by theinfamousone innow in case you're wondering why this is such a big deal and why the tears are streaming down my face right now, feel free to look at my story as i like to call it.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/7/101870/1758191/post.ashx#1758191.
so i think it was thursday i decided to make a huge pot of my little sisters favorite soup for her... when i went to drop it off at their house, well, they werent home, so i left it there with a note just saying hi to her and my mom, and that i miss them and love them... which is probably a shot at my dad who, well you know what i think of him.... i was quite perturbed because i did not receive a phone call or anything to acknowledge that they had received it... so i was a little worried that my father had found it and ripped up my note and thown the soup away... i know it sounds stupid, but i made the soup for my sister, and i mean, i guess it was just to show her how much she means to me... i guess i could have bought her some kind of present, but i dunno, making something seemed right at the time..... so anyways, finally today i get home from school and find a note under my door... they had both come to visit and they left me a note... well my mom wrote a quick note saying they had visited and were sorry they missed me and thanks so much for the soup and for bringing it to them and showing that i do miss them.... she wishes she had been able to see me... my sister wrote me a letter, and left it under my door as well... she wrote on the enveloppe she wanted to give it to me, but was sad she couldnt see me... she says shell call.... this wouldnt be such a big deal, but its the first contact ive had with her in three months or so... i mean, ive called and left messages, but i dont know if any of them even get to her... this little girl means the world to me... and i havent been able to see her in months.... it isnt fair.... so here i am sitting by the phone, thinking of calling in sick to work, just so i can speak to her, i dont want to miss her call... .
i feel so alone right now, and i just dont know.... im pathetic i know, but i miss her so much..... the infamous one

Latest "Remeber When..." JW email floating around
by Jourles innotice how #29 sounds a little apostatish?
shame on them for slipping that one in.. remembering when .
.. 1. when there was a grading system on the written review to indicate how well you did.. 2. when the circuit overseer considered the "continue in the things learned.".

Makes me feel old!! I remember 97% of this stuff. So many years wasted, so much time hurrying around, so many things missed out on w/my kids. Many marriages broken over this religion, depressed people, sad families, over-punished kids, people who have lost loved ones because of certain teachings i.e. blood,etc.,etc.,etc.
I feel sad.

Mary - The experience you relate sounds exactly like what I and a sister had going in the 70's. We started w/John 1:1. We were discussing those several scriptures USING WHAT WE WERE TAUGHT so that we were clear on the teaching to help us when we taught others. Her husband was an elder and after 2 of our mtgs. we were asked to stop for the same reasons you stated. We both were appalled and felt guilty - like we had done something very bad. But, being good, obedient JW sisters we obeyed! Even though we knew it was innocent and we didn't agree.
TO ALL OF YOU: Thanks for your postings. Only underscores the fact that this org. wants to control your every thought and move. And even in areas that are not related to studying the Bible. Exercise???? I only wish that those that are still "in" would dispel their fear and consider what is going on. Though I'm sure some of this is not known by the cong. But, word does get around. Maybe some will reconsider. THOUGH IF YOU DO USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT/MIND THEN YOU ARE LABELED AS AN INDEPENDANT THINKER. AND THAT WAS POUNDED INTO US AS THE FIRST STEP TO APOSTASY.
As others had posted, it's better not to spread around what you're doing as some want to cause trouble in their personal war on others' movtives. You know the ones. Those that sit in the judgment seat. And remember, the org. encourages you to keep the cong. "clean" - that is your personal duty before Jehovah.
BLAAAAAAAAHHHH - MAKES ME SICK!!!!!!

Heh Blondie,
I guess they don't "trust" depressed people getting together. Have to keep up the good, happy front as others have said here.

Are these 5 sisters actually going to listen to them and not associate with each other
Right now they split apart, but you know there will be some kind of repercussion. I'm sure there are others who are seething too that this happened. If I'm able I will share more when I hear more. Juni
Lola,
Calm down girl. I know, it made my blood pressure go up too. I like your humor - pull themselves up by their bra straps, etc.

A friend told me tonight that the elders broke up a group of sisters who were all experiencing various degrees of depression and enjoyed the upbuilding association with each other.
WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS? ACCORDING TO THEM FOR TWO REASONS:
Because this looks bad to the cong. as these five sisters by their grouping together were forming an unsavory "clique". And, according to these elders, "We don't want people to think that we are starting to have a problem with depression and unhappiness."
Any comments?

Never make a suicide joke to a doctor they get real nervous
You are so right. I've heard about this. Kind of like yelling "FIRE!" in a theatre.

AHHH CHOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yes. The buds are opening on the trees and I'm the same as you. My son in law takes Zyrtec which is the only thing that works for him. It's a prescription drug. Don't know if you've tried that one. He tried all the ones you mentioned and it didn't help.
Mine lasts through April.
Take care!!

Give it time and then you'll know. Just be yourself and be honest with your belief system and your goals. Don't compromise those.

What happened in the 80's?
by Virgochik invarious posters have mentioned how get-togethers and fun times socializing were frowned upon and discouraged somewhere around the early 80's.
everything changed, as far as the picnics, the dinner parties, etc.
i vaguely recall some connection being made to parties and increased "immorality.

You were in a more liberal-minded congo, luna. Be thankful for that.
