  yesterday was a nice day so i took out my scooter and i went over to the library and also decided to go into the antique mall just across the road from us.

  i love going to antique shops, so i was browsing at some old books and i seen this old purple paperback book and i picked it up and it was called ; the truth shall make you free, at first i thought this sounds like a jw book but why so old as a paperback .

  upon opening it i was suprised that it was indeed a paperback book by jehovah's witnesses 1939 and it pretty good shape.

  How about getting them to give you some hand, that'll make them busy for sure

  cy- I've tried that, but I think because I'm so laid back they are just like ya ya mom. At some times they are so against helping that it is like pulling teeth. One of these days I'll get the hang of this! haha. I'm really not a wimp but when it comes to my kids I can't help but spoil them. I love em' like crazy but every once in awhile it just gets too much. I'm going to take a class next fall in Child Psych. so hopefully that helps.

  Thanks everybody for the info. Love

  Should I write/ call my sisters?

  by love11 in

  i know that i asked before whether or not you thought i should talk to them again.

  but i can't help feeling so guilty as to how things were left.

  i know that they are at fault for us not having a relationship but i feel like the last words we say to each other shouldn't be mean just in case something should happen to one of us.

  Thanks Crumpet & Lehaa- I haven't decided what to do yet, partly because I'm still torn on what I would say. It's not my fault that we do not talk, so why should I make the first move towards a relationship. I guess it's because I feel it's not right that our family treat each other this way. But I guess you can't make someone do what they don't want to do. I'm still thinking about it. You had a good point about writing to them but not sending it. I just am at a lose for words. I'm not angry, I'm not hateful, I just thought being family we should act like we are family, but they don't want to go along with it, so what do you do? I don't know, but I'm not going to throw myself at them. I guess it just means I won't have an extended family in them. Since I don't even know them anymore, maybe it's not such a bad thing.

  I wouldn't have cut my hair. I would have stopped hair spraying my hair up to heights beyond belief.

  I would have insisted on wearing contacts, shaving my legs, and wearing makeup.

  I would have made my parents take me to a dermatologist. Oh how things have changed!

  I would have given myself more credit for being a good kid that they failed to see.

  I would have reported my dad to authorities instead of the elders. But then again, I would have lost my family alot quicker doing it that way.

  I don't think that the amount of wisdom I have now would have been healthy for a 14 year old to carry around. But I would have liked having the confidence I have now.

  At that time, I loved my family, I loved my religion, I was just starting to get annoyed at all of the rules they burden you with.

  But in the end I have to say, no regrets! I did the best I could for the time in my life that it was.

  WOW I'm still shocked that the U.S. changed it's name. Must have something to do with financial reasons I'm sure.

  What would happen if the new pope said that catholics are now going to be called vatican followers? I don't think it would fly. JW's will passively follow whatever the "Christian Congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses" say. Crazy.

  I asked my mother once, "What would you do if the organization said that you should kill your first born child just like in the Abraham/ Isaac story?" She said she would have to follow "Jehovah's" orders even though it would break her heart.

  Talk about a pyramid scheme gone awry!!!!

  Ya I did. That was inspiring but I'm not sure I would have the same response as she did. Too much bad blood.
