I can't stand that 'hooray another earthquake' thing
by sass_my_frass ini think that motherdarling actually likes to hear about earthquakes, especially the ones that cause a lot of death.
i don't know why she's so excited about terrorist bombings and hurricanes though, they're not mentioned in matthew except for the faint out of fear thing.
i saw a website once with exact stats on eathquakes in the last few centuries and was delighted to learn that they only seem to have increased because of the increased population in areas where they occur and the more sophisticated technology detecting small shudders and movement in seabeds etc.

Wedding jitters
by sass_my_frass inokay, i've got the frock, got the man... got the guy to bring the papers, it's all sorted.
finalised the numbers, faxed off the menu, programmed the ipod, waxed the legs... and it's not saturday that scares me, i think it's going to be a hugely fun night.
it's the fifty or sixty years after that.

Guilt, the gift that keeps on giving
by sass_my_frass indarling mother asks me often 'so you're definitely going to all the meetings?
and you're not doing this just to get your family back, right?
you actually want to be a witness?

What to wear to the District Convention
by sass_my_frass ini'm just gearing up to head off to the district convention.
i was worried about the shunning thing but then realised, how about i just don't wear the uniform, and dress like a study instead?
with a wig and sunnies none of my people will notice me, and strangers will treat me nicely and share their sandwiches and offer me bible studies.

Need advice from people with a JW partner
by sass_my_frass inhi, i'll sum up: recently disfellowshipped, and am marrying my love, who is not a witness.
i'm jumping through the hoops to get reinstated (to get my family back, and then do the slow fade) but am going to review that choice as time goes by as i choose him as my new life, not them.
however right now i think that life will be better, long term, if i can pick up the phone and talk to my family, every now and then.

Where else will you find such true friends?
by sass_my_frass init always bugged me when i would hear or read that the only true friends you would find would be those you made in the organisation - nobody else will really stand by you when you need them.
it used to puzzle me when (prior to being disfellowshipped...) my true friends and my close loving family didn't make contact with me for years, right when i was very deeply depressed and i needed them.
certainly i could have put myself in their lives more pro-actively, but, it's a very effective control tool to tell people not to bother befriending a non-witness; even if they don't damage you spiritually, they will never be as loyal to you as your brothers and sisters.

Were you caught, did you confess, or did you run?
by sass_my_frass inhi, fyi: d'f'd a month ago, and glad you're all here.
i'm just assessing the sum of the madness that happened since my parents guilt-tripped me into confessing what got me disfellowshipped.
i do very sharply recall that at the moment i decided to do so i had an overwhelming feeling of relief which at the time i thought was me hating the lying about what i'd done and wanting to come clean about that and clear my conscience as a witness, but have since thought might have been me hating the lying about how i feel about the organisation and wanting to come clean about that as a human, ie, whether i'd turned the corner as a witness or i was glad to be getting away from it.
