New England Apostafest

by beckyboop in

last year on memorial day a group of about 14 east coast ex-jw's met together in providence ri.

i had the pleasure of being able to have most of them back to our apartment for dessert, and thoroughly enjoyed meeting local people with a similar background.

i was able to meet zev, somebody, red horse woman, scumrat, sister act, doc bob & his wife, as well as others whom i can't remember their online names.. this year, i would like to get another group together on memorial day again, and hopefully we'll get even more of a response this year.

Hey Becky,

I hope you are counting the Cinci crowd! Can't wait to see you.

Thanks Everyone!

Francios,

I have tried the angry, not sugar coating it route before and they just close their ears. I am looking for a tactic that they will listen to. Thanks for the support though.

Rayzorblade and Dansk,

Thank you. I am trying desperately to be the sister that I wish I had myself. It is my goal to bring him here eventually. It might be a little early right now, but I know that it was here that I finally found my freedom.

Sandy,

I think you might be right. I don't want to overwhelm him any more than he already is.

I would take your suggestion (about sex) in a heartbeat, but , I am afraid that it would send my dear hubby straight back to the hospital!

I just got a call from my baby brother. They will be announcing that he has been DF'd tonight at the hall. He was crying, he has told me that the rest of the family has already started to shun him. He said "I feel so alone". He is SO down on himself. He is blaming himself entirely for the failure of his marriage and everything that happened in between. He is giving his wife EVERYTHING in the divorce, just because he feels so guilty. His only real crime is pursuing happiness in a miserable situation. God, I feel for him. He has been so trapped for so long.

I reassured him that there is NOTHING that he could do that would make me shun him, that he would ALWAYS be welcomed in my home and that he would ALWAYS be my baby brother. I have made a date to drive to his home (about 2 hours away) and have lunch with him on Thursday. I would love to take this opportunity to help him to learn the truth about the "troof", but I don't want to scare him off. Any suggestions?

Also, my Mom called crying, heartbroken over the "situation". It is my impulse to tell her that she is an idiot and that I can't imagine how she would even consider treating her son that way; but, I would like to keep the lines of communication open, in hopes that I might someday break through to my parents as well.

I know what I want to do and say .... I am EXTREMELY angry ...... any suggestions on how I can handle this with love all around? I have a feeling that this is the only way that my family will hear what I am saying.

God, my heart is breaking. I know that I am rambling and that this is a very disjointed post. I got this news just hours after my husband came home from the hospital after having surgery. To top it all off, my 2 year old is cutting his molars.

I need a nap, a good cry and a couple of hours of wild sex. I will settle for .some advice and a glass or three of good merlot. Thanks.

I am so depressed

my hubby and i are closing our business.

2002 was a terrible year.

we've been in business for 10 years and in 2002 we earned only 60% of our average.

BobsGirl

Sadie5,

My heart goes out to you. I too have been in the computer industry for a long time and know how tough the market is out there. Next month I will be starting a new computer related business. I will be offering one-on-one computer training and job support to individuals with mental impairment/brain injury/physical disabilities. If you are a very patient person with a good technical background and the willingness to learn about adaptive tech, this might be something that you could look into. There are agencies out there who would pay you to provide these types of services to the individuals that they care for. If this sounds interesting to you, my email is open. Good luck!
