Arwen had a visit from a long time jw friend who now lives in the west coast. She showed her all the info about the united nations and wt, etc. and told her all that has happened in the past few months. This lady stated she came to PEI to do some finishing touches from her move to the west coast, but really wanted to see what was happening with Arwen. She immediately wanted Arwen to go west for a week or so, to get the "help she needed from the sisters and brothers out there" and it would get her back on the right track. She told Arwen to burn the papers she had in her hands about the United Nations etc...... and said it was all a lie, or men make mistakes. Arwen wanted her friend to take them with her and after she could barely bring herself to touch the papers, she agreed to take them stating she would burn them. Hopefully she may read some of it before she burns them, she thinks they were satanic. Does anyone think this Canada wide trip would be counted as servicing?? I am proud of Arwen, she is getting stronger with each confrontation. Bring it on!

by doffy inthe listener said on an earlier postyou've been out for awhile, perhaps your insight will help some of us who are still in the exiting process.
which was a lovely thing to say, and made me feel 'valued' (thanks listener!).

Has anyone ever just rushed up to a jw who was ignoring you ( in a public place) and gave them a big hug and loudly gush hellllllllooooooooo, how have you beeeeeen? I think that would be so funny. Especially if you had other people with you. And they were all alone! There is humour everywhere and by golly, I will find it!

Welcome Enosant, this is a great bunch of people and it is growing each day, do not feel alone. I think when you start posting and people reply to you, it will make you feel like you are one of a large amount of people with very similar emotions and experiences. You have alot in common with everyone on this site, you have all been through the same and they have all been in their "first days", and will help guide you. Take what you need ..........

I usually run around tending to the dinner etc,. it can get kinda loud but I am thankful for my family, my mother who lives in suite on our home and my daughter and her hubby and my beautiful grandchildren, Daniel and Daelin.: who live in an apartment downstairs, it is just like the Waltons....... and the dog that barks his head off if someone burps 10 miles away and my husband who works hard and left orders to have dinner at 5 because he had to catch the ferry to the Nova Scotia at 730. He drives a tractor trailer and works long hours and had to catch a boat to get off PEI for NS. I just finished the dishes and it is time for a beer now that I am alone. We are thankful for all the blessings we have and pray for others. This year we give thanks for my best friend of 30 years to be OUT of the jw's. God bless you all....... don't eat too much turkey.!

Good luck, you are very brave. I will say a prayer for you. That is going to be very hard but they must have some doubts, I can't imagine they would want to listen to any info against the jws. ,mmmmmmm maybe not so hard afterall. They may be on this board soon. Are you going alone?

Describe the WILDEST JW party you ever attended!! no seriously......
by kid-A ini realize this is totally context and culturally dependent, but the old toronto jw youth scene was quite wild during the years 1984-1994. .
one example, a group of about 40 jw kids would go up to a ski resort (usually mount st.louis/moonstone or blue mountain) over the x-mas week-end.
one year we rented out a block of rooms in a resort close to the ski lodge.

Huff,puff..... feels like a treadmill, but we are making progress. Arwen and I visited Legolas yesterday. Arwen did not want to take her own car in case anyone (JW) would see it in the driveway. And she almost ran in the door BUT.......... she wouldn't have done that a couple of weeks ago...... she would not have been there at all, fear of being seen by jws. Legolas has been out for awhile now and doesn't feel intimidated by the group. Arwen is making normal progress, I think. She is not as stressed but is reliving alot of crap that went on when her children were abducted by her ex jw) and housed by jws in other provinces. what a mess, I wish we could find a really good counsilor for her who knows about this cult or to speak to someone in person would be healing. Another babystep I am looking forward to is the writing of THE LETTER, she is working on it but it is has taken alot out of her. We need to take a cruise!!! Get away from it all. Legolas makes great pickles, thanks for them, girl, and it was great to meet ya!
