Just told my JW parents Im pregnant!

to those of you that followed my last thread about my shock pregnancy, i asked my jw parents to come round after the meeting tonight so i could tell them.

i was so nervous because im not married and the first time i told them (this is my 4th!

) they were not too impressed.......... they were fine!

BugParadise

Kat~~>THEY WERE FINE! in fact, they were lovely. My partner is a close friend of my dads (he used to be a mini servant/almost an elder!)...but no lecture, no nothing..they were just supportive and loving! What a relief!

Yeah! I'm so glad they were fine and this must take a big load off your mind. As we get older we don't like to admit that parents acceptance means as much as it does. It might not mean as much as it did when we were just starting out as adults but it does mean a lot. Im glad Kat that this will not be an extra strain for you! Hang in there!

Religious freedom is being denied!

i'm sure someone else has already thought of this but i wanted to see what discussion came from this.

i was raised as a jw and left at the age of 35. i still do the dance to keep from being disfellowshiped so that i don't lose all contact with my family.

the thought just came to me that as i went through my life my religious freedom was being denied by coersion.

BugParadise

Would this qualify as a denial of my constitutional right to religious freedom? Isn't this a basic human right? Has anyone tried to address this in a courtroom? Does anyone else feel the same way?

It sure does! That is why it is so ironic (moronic as in Oxy) to see the Watchtower in the courts under the guise of freedom ~ The very freedoms they deny their own members! How can they say they fight for freedom of speech for example, while denying the members the very same freedoms? Something smacks of Orwell and I think that about sums it up.

Bug, the lab report says normal should be below 200. It probably wouldn't bother me except that my Dad died of a massive heart attack when he was 54. I turn 54 this September. I work pretty hard all day and actually feel pretty energetic for an old fool, so I don't know why they are elevated. I ask the doctor, but I just got her and her Chinese accent is so thick, I have a hard time understanding her.
I cut out fried foods long ago and go pretty easy on salt. In fact, I try to eat as much natural food as possible and rarely buy pre-prepared foods. I guess I'll have to eat more collard greens and black eyed beans

Thanks! Well I suppose it is time to go get one of those checks. I have never had it tested. Maybe I would rather not know lol The diet sounds great other then the black-eyed Peas! I will look for one that includes cheesecake.

loyally submitting to theocratic order

Aren't quite a few of their songs in praise of the Organization?

My doctor wants me to start taking them, but I hate taking pills. And I'm only at 171 for LDL, but triclycerides are up at 310. She seems a lot more concerned about it than I am.

If you do just becareful because some of those meds have had some bad side effects. (which is a potential risk for all meds I suppose) One they pulled off the market last year and I can't remember the name right now. What is supposed to be the normal level of triclycerides?
