When they do things like this they are asking your spouse to be complicit in shunning you - which she is agreeing to.
When I have been invited to family functions I decline after I ask if my DF’d neice’s and nephews are invited.
we received an invitation in the mail yesterday for my jw niece's wedding.. i am posting this just to add for any lurkers to see typical jw practices.. 1st - and perfectly understandable for anybody who is or was a jw.
i'm not invited.
:) hey, i'm really not complaining about that.

i came to the conclusion a long time ago that many jehovah`s witnesses are very superstitious in my opinion.. if after leaving the jw`s or even sometime before leaving the jw`s you may have been tempted to use the pokie`s /slots or the lotto , or even the roulette wheel at a casino .
now did you know that if you add up all the numbers on a roulette wheel it adds up to 666 .?.
now i have no problem myself playing lotto ,keno ,scratchies ,etc,however ,would i ever play the roulette wheel ever again ?.
I like to go to the casino maybe once or twice a year. It’s fun, I’ve won lots of times, and I’ve lost lots of times. I usually meet up with old friends there and we have fun catching up while drinking and gambling. I’ve even played Bingo at the Catholic Church it was fun! I’ve not played roulette but a couple of times and didn’t do well :-)
so i posted yesterday.
my boyfriend and i have been living together for a year, and he went to the memorial tonight (sorry if that’s not what it’s called).
i told him i was upset he didn’t invite me but wasn’t going to tell him not to go because he hasn’t talked to his family for over a year.
I am sorry you are going through this. He is not able to have the relationship you deserve in his current state. Unfortunately he is more consumed with the cult than your relationship. If you continue in this way you will be hurt, again and again. Your needs will always come second to this so called religion. He can’t have a girlfriend and return to the cult, it doesn’t work that way.
it was 2010 when i first came to this website.
it was the day after the memorial.
i swore i would never attend another memorial, ever.. my father had called me a few day prior to that memorial and encouraged me to go.
It’s nice when I get glimpses of who my non-cult parents would have been, but then the cult always kicks back in and the “normal” parent is gone. I have learned to accept them as they are and realize we will never have a normal relationship.
i noticed a recent post where it was suggested the store was taken over by hostile means!.
the person who posted it pretended to have knowledge of why the store changed names but clearly was operating with an agenda!
one filled with lies, misinformation and deceit!.
I’m going to take a guess that the people on this board aren’t really interested in buying some best life ever gifts............ not to mention everyone knew he had an agenda when he posted it. Most people don’t blindly believe everything they read.... oh wait.
look at the picture for yesterday's watchtower study.
see the good jw folks sitting around the campfire..... zoooom in on that campfire.
have a good look..
This time I actually do see the dog. It looks like a German Shepard head on fire ...... gross.
today is my birthday :) in happy to be able to say that guilt free!
.
Happy Birthday!!!
what can i do when elders want to poke their nose in?.
they want to have another chat with me and my wife, but we dont want to, it just gets us down..
Perhaps I missed something?
has anybody heard anything about this new store?

It’s right by Watchtower Farms, stayed at the awful Harvest Inn more than once.
for a long time, i was convinced jehovah witnesses were just people preaching the word of god in a different way than other christians.
i was shown the real truth over the past few months.
i've been friends with this guy for over 5 years.
I would not knowingly put myself in a position to get tangled up with the JW religion. I agree with dubstepped - run!
You deserve to be with someone who can respect your differences and love you anyway. This person is going to ask you to change all of your beliefs and who you are as a person. The cost is too high.
