2. family
we just recently moved and my oldest son (9) is adjusting well, so far.

there are lots of kids on the street and they are always outside playing soccer and basketball.

i've noticed that he is having trouble with a couple of the boys....they are all very close in age...9 10 and 11.

tell us storys of all the fun exciting stuff that your kids did when your back was turned.. my most recent finding was yesterday.

i took a shower while my kids were playing(thats what i though) in their room.

after i dressed i went downstairs to notice shinny little footprints all over the new wood floors...hmmmm curious....i follow them......and saw that my 2 year old had found a can of pam cooking spray and was trying to shine up the wood floor with it.

Great idea for a billboard
by Heather in

2. humour
the kingdumb hall here in my area is right on a huge street with lots of traffic.

there is an empty lot to one side with a billboard that can be seen from the street.

if you are driving one way the bullboard is actually seen right in front of the kh....i wonder what it would take to advertise on the one side...its could say something like "are you the victim, or do you know victums of sexual child abuse?

If you could ask an elder your questions
by Heather in

2. beliefs
what question do you want to ask or have you asked that would stump or have stumped an elder?

i'm in the position where my mom wants me to come back and wants me to have my questions answered (even though she has dodged most of mine) so that i will once again see its the truth and want to return.

so i'm going to set a meeting with an elder to see if he would be willing to attempt to answer some of my questions to prove to me beyond a doubt that i'm in the wrong.

Who does the prodigal son scripture apply to?
by Heather in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
okay i already asked a question earlier on being disassosiated now i'm wondering who this scripture applys to if not those in my place or disfellowshiped ones.

surly it doesn't apply only to those who are inactive since the son left to do his own thing.....

If you are dissasosiated............

2. beliefs
do the elders have to reinstate you if you start going back to meetings.

i was told a while back that you would be treated as a person on reproff with all restrictions but now i'm hearing that if i go back i will have to wait to be reinstated.....this is such bullsh**.

i really don't want to go back...but my grandmother just passed away last week and i went to the service(it was at the kh) and was able to see my family that for 4 years now has bearly talked to me...and i go to see my 2 beautiful nieces...whom i would love to have a relationship with.....so i started thinking maybe i could go to a few meetings to be able to have something to do with them.....well i went today....i was so upset earlier that i went and smoked a bit to calm me down...heeeeeeee .....so anyway....i was soo irritated and bored all the f-ing answers that some of them come up with....i guess i just keep thinking about the other side...they really do think that those of us on the outside are miserable......i was more miserable today then i have been in years just sitting there trying to pretend.

What do you do.......
by Heather in
1. jw
2. experiences
when your jw family member tells you it would have been so much better if you had just faded instead of daing yourself.

that to them daing yourself is much worse then dfing yourself.

if only you had hung in there and faded they would treat you as family but now it tears at them that they can't talk to you.
