After leaving the org I tried to explain my sitution and what my family was feeling/thinking to some of my friends as a means of moral support... (an oulet!) but they just dont get it.
To me, it is really great to be able to talk about JW issues with people who understand EXACTLY what you mean. You can't understand JW's untill you have been one.
Plus you guys are pretty funny!!
well, yesterday evening was a little too emotional for my liking... .
i got home to find an envelope in my mailbox from my mom and dad... (i was df'ed 4 years ago and haven't spoken to them since) .
my sister's wedding announcement...she got married earlier this month.
Dams,
I think that is exactly what I am going to do... send my grandmother a card and some flowers... I dont know if she would appreciate a visit but I want her to know that I haven't forgotten her despite my family's desperate attempts to forget me...
I wonder what their reaction will be when I get married and an invitation arrives in their mailbox...

Thanks for all your kind words...
I do agree that in time I might be glad to have this small token... but for the moment, it just seems like a hurtful thing to do...although at the moment I can't concentrate on anything but worrying about my grandmother... I have been thinking alot about her in the last little bit and I had a feeling something wasn't right... but I had done a good job of convincing myself I was just being paranoid... turns out I should listen to my instinct... the question is what to do now...

What did it contain? My sister's wedding announcement...she got married earlier this month. Needless to say I was crushed. I knew she was getting married my dad had e-mailed me to let me know, but he never told me when/where etc. Why did they have to rub it in like that? I mean I knew I wouldn't be invited but geez... sending the invitation after the wedding is over... a little harsh no?
Not only that but they also wrote a short letter telling me that my grandmother was not able to make the wedding because she was in the hospital. Apparently she has been in and out of the hospital for the last couple of months and her condition is getting worse... I haven't seen her since I moved out of home 4 years ago. I fear the next time I see her will be at her funeral.
*sigh* having a rough morning...
do any of you have a specific policy as to which threads you will even look at let alone reply to?.
what sort of topic 'grabber' attracts you to read further?.
i have noticed that there are definite patterns in who visits what thread.. also, how frequently do you dip back to where you posted to see iff anyone has replied?
I tend to stay away from the ones that are debating prophecy/dogma... I did enough of that as a witness...
I like reading the experiences of others ; moral debates and of course the funny ones!
for the speed of light:.
they commute to and from this preserved tablet to get their orders from god.
this is not the speed of light inside matter (example: speed of light in glass is 199,861.638 km/s; that is around 100,000 km/s slower than in vacuum).
The Bible is vastly superior to the Koran. The Koran is a book of myths, fables and fairy tales.
LOL... sounds to me like the Koran and the Bible should be in the same section in the library.... FANTASY!

Montreal and surrounding areas changes from about 96/L to 116/L depending where u fill up...
It sucks! I am so glad my baby and I have an 2004 Echo Hatchback RS... I have a 45L tank which on average costs 45$ to fill but can take us almost 750km before I have to fill it again! Glad we didn't get an SUV!
i'm interested in how many here give to the homeless, or any kind of charity, since that was not a part of the witness experience.
i have to admit that my heart is hard ...
Funny antidote:
My sister lives in TO and once a bum walked straight up to her and asked "Can I have a buck, I really need to buy a beer"
She almost died laughing... he got what he asked for... she said to him, "Here is a buck for your honesty"
LOL
