sending my mom some info

by moanzy in

some of you read my post about talking with my mom about the "truth".

i let her have it in a two hour phone call which probably wasn't the best way to reason.

i guess i'm just sick of it all and i harbor so much resentment for this cult as well as my upbringing.

Why Georgia

I'm really starting to agree with Garybuss on this.

I used to think if my Mother in law and sister in laws would leave the JW's that we would have a good relationship and everything would be okay. I was in fantasyland.

The fact is my Mother In Law and Sisters In Law have been in a long time, they know the changes in doctrine and the problems in the org, but they choose to belong to this organisation.

They choose it.

Now I know personally how damaging the blood policy can be because I have seen it at work in our life when we had our first son and my husband was in.

But I am not married to my mother in law. I don't have to see her everyday, and its our choice and hers that she is not much a part of our life and our sons' lives.

Now if my husband goes back to the JW's I will fight tooth and nail against his beliefs to my last dying breath, but I am not wasting the small amount of energy I have for people who are happy to believe lies.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

No Tag At My Son's School....

perhaps some of you have seen this on the news.

my son's school has gotten national attention because the ban on tag.

i went to the pto meeting and spoke with the principal.

Why Georgia

I just wanted to update everyone who had looked at my post.

Friday the principal at my son's school has decided now to talk to the parents and then make a joint decision about tag or no tag.

And then today, I heard on the local news that tag is back in at the school and I saw my son on TV which was wierd, but I suppose I should be thankful that it was for something like this and not on America's Most Wanted.

It's just crazy to me that so many people got upset, I mean angry death threat upset about this tag issue...but they aren't upset that the school hasn't met the learning requirements mandated by No Child Left Behind.

So they want the kids to play tag, but they don't care if they can do math or read.

Oh well.

Our elementary school banned dodge ball a few years ago and reads story books about people having two mom's and two dad's.

I don't have a problem doing that, if there was a child with 2 mom's and 2 dad's (gay) in a class, but they just decided to do it for no reason.

I know I am in Massachusetts, but it just seems surreal. When I moved here, people thought I was a hippie because I was raised in California...but I don't think we'd do this stuff California - they do other stuff to mess up the kids...LOL!

Why Georgia

Perhaps some of you have seen this on the news. My son's school has gotten national attention because the ban on tag. I went to the PTO meeting and spoke with the principal. This has been a rule for 10 years, but since she is the new Principal she decided to enforce it this year.

I do not agree with this particular ban. The school is 4 stories high and the stairs are very steep, I'd rather they ban stairs or shoe laces since all the kids can't tie their shoes and get hurt a lot more from those things.

We had reporters trying to gain entry into the school and just walking up to kids in unmarked vans asking them questions as they were trying to walk home. I have a lower opinion of the press now. Obviously none of them have kids.

Also, my son's school is the poorest in the city. We have a 70% poor kid, 30% rich kid ratio. I am on the committee to raise $35,000 to build a new non decrepit playground...can we get attention for this...nope...but we are getting plenty of attention for "No Tag"

Here are the articles from our local paper if anyone is interested:

Prayer Requests

by startingover in

jw
friends

i frequent another forum for honda gold wing riders.

when i read there i get irritated by the posts asking for prayers.

either someone or his friend or family has crashed or is sick.

Why Georgia

Completely off subject..

My parents are a part of the Gold Wing association in California too.

It's a very mixed group of people, I have liked most of the people I have met very much.

hi guys,.

sorry to burden you all with this but i really have no one that i want to talk about this with, i'm afraid that i will burst into tears and wont be able to stop if i call any of my friends and tell them what's going on.

my little sister has been ill with a fever for three weeks, her doctor kept telling her it was just a bad case of the flu and that she had an ear infection, he gave her antibiotics and sent her home.

Why Georgia

Sorry about the last empty post...

I'm sending thoughts and healing prayers your way for your sister.

Please also take care of yourself so you don't get ill from going in and out of the hospital. Wash your hands a lot and take extra vitamin C so you can keep healthy!

Big hugs,

How do I get out of this?

by mama1119 in

i am having a baby here in a couple of weeks, and here is the problem:.

i have a friend, we grew up together as close as sisters, and she lives about 6 hours away from me.

she has been there through everything with me and i love her dearly.

Why Georgia

If you can't tell your friend the truth, blame it on the doctor.

Say in case of an Emergency they only want the husband or birthing coach in the room. If she is deadset on coming tell her how much it would mean to you to have her stay with your first child so you wouldn't have to worry....

I did this with my mom. I love her, but she gets crazy scared in a medical situation. She was with our oldest son when I was having our baby 2 years ago.

I know a part of her wanted to be in the room and see everything, since she missed the actual birth of our first son (c-section only one allowed in the room).....but I could live without one extra person seeing my girl parts this time around!

I want to call my mom...any advise???

by megsmomma in

jw
friends

my mom has disowned me and subsequently, my 6 month old....and i am sick of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am so frusterated to let this stinkin cult ruin and affect my life so much.

has anyone had success in talking to a relative and saying something to get them to think for themselves?

Why Georgia

Hi Megsmomma,

My husband and I are in a similar situation, but 7 years later. My husbands mother is an excellent grandmother to her JW grandkids. Our children are ignored. It was extremely hurtful to me and my husband, but honestly my oldest son doesn't notice because my parents overcompensate for the lack of my husbands mother.

The only time it seems to really bother our son now is when he hears from his cousins what Grammy did for them...then he gets upset.

But we limit those relationships too because the JW cousins are not so nice, they know our 2 sons are ignored and rub it in...vindictive little sh*ts.

I really try to see it more as a rejection of my husband and I, spilling onto our children. The sins of the father....etc.

It really is my Mother in laws' loss. My children are polite, brilliant and so loving...and she gets none of that.

Best Regards,

Chrystal

9/11 ALL OVER??????

by Sunnygal41 in

i'm at work and heard that a small plane or helicopter has hit a high rise apartment building in nyc............anyone heard anything????.

.

terri.

Why Georgia

When I first heard that happened I felt really sick in my stomach like when I was watching 9/11 while it was happening.

I had to remind myself not to panic, that it was probably something normal, but out of the ordinary. Not a terrorist thing.

But I did wonder until they said who it was if it was some wacko Muslim doing something on his own, kind of like the guy in N.C who drove into all those students.

Best Regards,

Chrystal
