I'm so happy for you. I think the way you presented it was perfect. Her husbands attitude seems promising also.

I told my daughter I was leaving "the truth" this weekend.
by whathappened inlast week, i told you i was going to tell my daughter that i was leaving the truth this weekend and you all gave me sound advice.
but, i cannot keep a secret this heavy from the person i love most on this earth, my only daughter, who is beautiful inside and out.. well, i have always had an open and honest relationship with my daughter, and i guess it paid off.
this weekend i visited my daughter (who lives in another state) and i told her i was leaving "the truth.

3 yr old tells school friends they'll be destroyed at Armageddon
by not bitter inevery now and then my mum reminds me of the time when she was called to my nursery school by the head teacher because i had been telling all my friends that they would be destroyed at armageddon.
can you imagine what the other parents must have thought when little johnny and little doris went home crying asking why they were going to be destroyed for not sharing a toy.. my mum seems to think it hilarious and implies that i was the one being naughty for saying it in the first place.
i should never have learnt such things!!

Brotherdan, Nothing like teaching a child to be disrespectful of other's beliefs and disrespectful of age. Dubs think nothing of sending children that should be at home playing out knocking on doors to try to convert adults to a religion that the are to young to have any understanding of themselves so I guess we shouldn't be surprised when their children do things like you did.

To outsiders you must have seemed like a little dub version of Damien.

Ok. I'm wondering if anyone knows why on both my smartphone and Nook which has full internet access I can both read and write email but on the JWN I can only view comments. Well I can hit the submit button and it will show up here like I made a comment so I know it is going through but I can't type anything.

JW MIL having surgery - Elders there are the "blood nazis"
by Robert7 inso my jw mother-in-law is having some rather major abdominal surgery today.
given the type of surgery, there is a chance that the blood issue may come up, where in worst case if there's a loss of blood she may need a transfusion.. so in the waiting room for the entire 3 1/2 hour surgery are two elders.
these guys don't know my mil that well, and they are not there to support her... when it comes down to it:.

I remember a couple of those boneheads hanging around when my sister-in-law was in the hospital. They do look out of place milling about in suits. I guess they are there partly for support but also to police the situation. Blondie referred to them as the HLC. I hope that hostipals limit their visits to JWs as they are in many cases counter productive to what doctors are trying to do. Outlaw's comment says it all.

My mom throws a not so subtle threat my way
by JWinprotest inmy fade is going well, but my mom knows full well what my thoughts are on the wts.
it seems that she feels comfortable just ignoring the situation in order to keep seeing her grandchildren.. the other day however we were talking about someone we know who is making it very difficult for her parents to see their grandchild.. then out of the blue, my mom turns in my direction and says, that if any of her kids try to deny her from seeing her grandchildren, she would take them to court and get a court order to force them to let her see them.. i know what the message was, and it was loud and clear.
she is letting me know that if i get disfellowshipped there's no way i can keep the kids away from her.

Where I will put my foot down, is if my mom decides she wants to see the kids, but won't allow me in the home
And that is probably what she is planning to do because that is how things are supposed to work in Dubland. But you're no longer apart of the fantasy world they live in so their rules no longer apply but for some odd reason they think you should still play by them. I think visits should be supervised and limited and non at all if she can't be respectful of you and shunning you isn't respectful.

Saw my JW father the other day
by Paralipomenon ini'm still a bit torn on the issue of associating with my parents.
they have made absolutely no effort to keep in touch and usually any contact results in a generic witness email reply.. i have been at the point that i really don't need or care for their influence in my life for a while but i keep flipping back and forth between cutting off all contact and being the bigger person and at least give them updates.. so, in light of their recent aniversary, i went to the store and tried to pick them out a card.
i never really realized how difficult that is if you're looking for a card to actually mean what you say.. unfortunately i didn't find a card that said "sorry you two are trapped in a loveless marriage and i could really care less about your opinions" so i settled for the least bit sappy i could find.. i put the kid's school pictures in and while out running errands dropped it off.

Jamiebowers is right your kids don't need people who think like they do in their life. Your parents can't even see that they are the ones causing the problem. They don't respect your beliefs or feelings. They won't ever show love to you unless you come crawling back and believe everything written by those old farts in Brooklyn. Old farts they have probably never even met yet are willing even turn their backs on their family when those evil old men tell them to. It is very sad and very crazy.

But you aren't keeping the kids away from her. She is choosing the Watchtower over you and your children. If she doesn't want to associate with you just because you don't believe like she does what make her think that she has any right to see her grandchildren. And what would make her think she could get a judge who also doesn't believe in her crazy religion to go along with her wacky ideas. If she chooses to follow the Watchtower's hateful shunning practice then she should be willing to pay the price. You have ever right to keep your children from someone who would try to poison their relationship with you and that is exactly she would be doing.
