My husband and i take turns being right if i'm wrong i just say "today is your day to be right" or visa versa. If I really screw up, I have learned to take a deep breath and apologize......although its taken me a long time to get there..... I screwed up recently and was mis-informed about my close friend we ended up not speaking to each other for a while until finally we figured out what had happened.......I had to spologize repeatedly, since I had been in the wrong...we were able to make up

Name Some Double Standards of Jehovah's Witnesses
by minimus inhere's one: a jw cannot lie ' liars are subject to the "second death".
but if you "lie" for the interests of the organization, suddenly it's not a "lie" after all!
because the opposers are not "entitled" to know.

An End To Shunning
by Sunspot inwell, in my case anyway.
for those of you that may recall my posts about my family and that after i left the wts, how i wrote long (and painful) letters to my nonjw children among others.
i had tried to explain why i had shunned them and how very sorry i was, and for all the mistakes i had made throughout their childhoods as a jw mother.

Thank you soooo much for sharing, I used to be sooo close with my mom and brother and they shun me now that i have left and it hurts so much to not be able to change it but I do have a wonderful husband and children that help lift my spirits when I get down. I do hope one day they will come around.

Cats a JW no-no?
by Confession ini stumbled across what appears to be a website maintained by a jw circuit overseer.
on it he includes what looks like a question from readers.
it has very strong things to say about the 'beastliness' of cats--and why christians should consider whether or not it is proper to have them in our homes.
