Snubbed for the first time!

by TimothyT in

hahahaha!!!.

since being disfellowshipped on thursday, i have already come into contact with some jw's.

some experiences have been heartwarming!!!

I think the last time I was snubbed I was at Trader Joes and I saw my JW best friend's mother pushing a shopping cart. Of course she pretended not to see me. Then last weekend my JW sister was supposed to show up at my Dads house who only has a few months to live, and because she knew I was coming-- she didn't show up even though my Dad requested all his kids to be there to visit (Dad's not a JW or anyone else in the family)

It's kind of funny-- I found out that my 93 year old dad yells at my sister every time he sees her because she won't speak to me and it upsets him.

More drama between my mom and I

by reneeisorym in

your great-aunt brittney died tuesday morning she was found on her kitchen floor dead.

her funeral was this morning.

omg .. my mother just sent me this email.

love2Bworldly

Very sorry on the loss of your aunt, it sounds like your mom is trying to punish you for leaving the JWs.

Maybe you could visit her gravesite with flowers and have some closure on your own.

Parents of Teens--I need encouragement

i am really feeling down today, can't stop crying.

i just need some words of encouragement from other parents that i will survive my kids' teen years.

my 13 year old is trying to discover/find herself, has emotional issues--since birth, cuts/burns herself secretly--she is on prozac, in regular counseling, spent time last year in a physchiatric hospital, and just generally always has stomach aches or conflicts with other peers and is flunking math as usual as well as getting bad grades in citizenship lately.. my 17 year old son is on probation for being in a fight last fall, and does illegal stuff for cash.

Thanks for all your words of encouragement, you all don't know how much I appreciate it today when I really need it.

Have a Happy Easter!

Who hates smoking and pets?

by averyniceguy in

i really do hate smoking odors.

i do not really hate pets but i am allergic to them.

what about you?

love2Bworldly

I hate smoking but I like the smell of a pipe. And strangely enough, once in a while when I walk by someone smoking--sometimes I like the smell but I don't know why. No one in my house has ever smoked and I'm allergic to smoke. I abhor the smell of pot, I think because it has bad memories associated with it.

I love any kind of pet, but then I tend to be a nature-lover. I always thought it was weird when some families don't even have a goldfish for their kids.

OK, Easter Bunnies - What you doing to celebrate the Pagan Festival of Sex?

by Crumpet in

(clam here is the promised fluff thread - but you know it will probably degenerate into an intellectual discussion about pagan festivals - like my posts so often do!

so how will you all be honoring the goddess astarte or was it istoreth?

will you be devouring chocolate eggs - with their heavy pagan influences?

love2Bworldly

PEEPS--groooooosssss, how can you people eat those disgusting marshmellow thingies???

I will be cooking brunch for my kids & elderly parents. My kids have outgrown the egg hunt, but I still make goodie baskets for everyone.

jgnat-- thanks I needed that! I think I need to start doing a journal every day. After I typed out my post, I felt a lot of relief. And I am going on holiday soon, to Jamaica in July with my church & no kids.

My saving grace with all the stress, is that I am taking very good care of myself. Had a 90 minute massage the other night, and I work out and walk a lot. It just helps sometimes to hear from other parents.

What Subject Did You HATE Hearing About At The Meetings?

by minimus in

i was bored to death when i had to listen to prophecy bullsh*t. especially the isaiah books!

love2Bworldly

The date 1914, I still remember when I was first studying the Truth book and my study conductor explaining to me how the JWs arrive at 1914--she was 18 and I was 12. It never made any sense to me, and I would just tune it out.

I also just in general tuned out all the prophetic BS about the Gentile Times, etc etc.
