last night, my husband and i were eating dinner at my parents house and all of sudden my mom whips out her bible and tells us to sit down because she wants to share some scriptures shes been researching.

come to find out about a month ago some elders stopped over at their house to talk to them about us, and how to deal with a disfellowshiped person.

( I'm not sure why this all didn't fit in the first post?????)

We got to talking about organized religion in general, and my dad pipes in and says, Maybe “Mr and Mrs Schne” are ahead of us in the fact that they don’t need organized religion to serve God…. My mom just shook her head in agreement, but then of course added “I won’t leave this religion; I’m not going to throw the baby out with the bath water!” My husband and I both agreed that if she’s even questioning things like this, and reading the BIBLE for what it REALLY is, going above and beyond the Watchtower, it’ll only be a matter of time.

I think we are making progress.

Last night, my husband and I were eating dinner at my parents house and all of sudden my mom whips out her Bible and tells us to sit down because she wants to share some scriptures she’s been researching. Come to find out about a month ago some elders stopped over at their house to talk to them about us, and how to deal with a disfellowshiped person. The funny thing is, my husband and I aren’t even disfellowshipped….YET. Just a few weeks ago we received a letter stating that there is a judicial committee formed regarding my husband, so they were preparing my parents ahead of time, even before alerting us of this…. SICK!
Anyways…. My mom proceeds to share with us about 6 scriptures regarding why she feels if we DO get Disfellowshipped or Disassociate, she can still speak to and associate with us. That is following her conscience and showing Love. Both my husband and I were shocked, and needless to say very pleased. . I did have to add, that I thought it was pretty sad that my own mother would have to come up with a reason to speak to her child and need to explain this to someone else. However it’s great to see she’s thinking on her own and seeing even in little ways how this religion is unloving and unchristian.

When still in:

We would go to whatever bs (bookstudy) we wanted. After a while, people would just assume that you were assigned there.

Here's why...

i recieve many pms, emails, and more recently, many thread replies which ask me a simple question.. why are you disassociating yourself?

why not just fade?.

well, here's why.. my mother, and her mother, are in the "truth".

schne_belly

WOW Richie,

I can tell that you certainly have thought all of this out. This is something you need to do for YOURSELF and only you will know if it’s the right decision.

Have you thought about what your father will do when you leave the org. How he will respond to your moms’ reaction?

It’s never easy to knowingly go against your parents…. Especially when you love them, which I can tell you do. I feel the same way regarding my mother. I don’t really blame her for her actions and the last thing I want to do is hurt her. However if this organization forces ME to DA someday (because of other family circumstances) I will. I know it would break her heart, but sometimes you just have to do what you have to do, and for once think of yourself.

Ziplock Omelets

by Lady Lee in

friends

while i was looking for a place for the experiment i found this recipe

ziplock omelets

haven't tried this but sounds like fun.

schne_belly

Ohhh. I've tried these a few times.

They are good....a quick easy way to make omelets...Plus for the life of me, I can't make regular ones in a frying pan.

No, the eggs don't stick to the bag.... they don't LOOK like regular omelets, but are pretty tasty.

One tip...if you don't like your vegetables crunchy, I would reccomend saute'ing them for a bit before adding them to the bag....

ENJOY!

IDEA regarding my mother.

by RichieRich in

its richie again.. i was thinking last night about my inevitable, fast approaching exit from the wtbts.

i guess that out of common courtesy, i will provide a copy of my disassociation letter to my mother, however, it is nothing more than a baptism nullification / gag order / i'll sue all of you letter.

its not one of those lengthy numbers that some have chosen to write.

schne_belly

Ohhh Richie...it's just sad that you even have to think about this. All the more reason for you to just leave this horrible org.

I think it's a great idea. I'm sure you're mom will read the letter, maybe it won't reach her heart right away, but after time something will sink in and she'll get over the idea of you leaving and realize you are a wonderful person. You won't know unless you try....and whatever the outcome is, you'll know you did all you could to help her see the reason for your decison.

We're here for you guy !
