No e-mail but I called them the other day and asked for their mailing address so I can mail them a X-Mas card. The operator asked for who and I said I send them out to the "business" for everyone. She gave me the Columbia Heights address. :-) I'm really tempted to use the Miss Cleo soundboard one time

It finally happened!
by Bstndance inbrief history: my mom found that i have a myspace (forbidden sin) and that i was a member of this group (bigger forbidden sin) so she stopped talking to me for 3 weeks.
today she finally calls all crying and said she spoke with the elders and they feel she should stop talking to me.
i told her i'm very happy she's crying because she knows she's making the wrong decision.

tijkmo: no I'm not DF but she said the elders need to talk to me. I said "bring it on". I live over 2 thousand miles away from her, I'd like to run up their phone bill for a bit.
pubsinger: Yeah, she's known about me for almost 10 years. It was the association with "apostates" that made her rat me out to the elders. I told her that I'm suprised she actually believes she is as weak as they tell her they are. At my age she was a single mom with two kids in school and did it all on her own. I always thought she was strong but I guess she slowly got beat down by the WTS and now she feels she's too weak to deal with her ex-JW son. What makes it funny is that my brother (the one with the child) doesn't get this type of treatment because he left for my dad's before the pressure to get baptized was turned on.
I do understand about the child should not be put in the middle because he doesn't really understand. But I do know that my sister-in-law is pissed off said she is going to keep a more watchful eye on whether my mom is trying to preach to their son.
I think the next step is to rat my mom out to her mom (my grandmother). Let her see how it feels. :-)
Yeah suing really won't get me anywhere. I wonder if one day there could be a class action suit against the Watchtower. They would probably try to get it thrown out on the basis that shunning is an individual decision.

the elders made me do it
by BlackSwan of Memphis inok, i was inspired by bstndance (sp?)..
when my mom came up to the hospital to see hannah she had told me that before she decided to come, she called bro so and so, an elder.
the way i took it was to make sure it was ok. to get some good healthy counsel.. it made me laugh later.

Totally. And thanks for the "shout out". Society as a whole like to always play the victim. Therefore it absolves the individual of responsibility.

Brief History: My mom found that I have a myspace (forbidden sin) and that I was a member of this group (bigger forbidden sin) so she stopped talking to me for 3 weeks. Today she finally calls all crying and said she spoke with the elders and they feel she should stop talking to me. I told her I'm very happy she's crying because she knows she's making the wrong decision. Of course she insisted she isn't and persisted to cry so I told her I hope she cries everyday for the rest of her life. :-) The deal is, I haven't lived with her for 10 years and in no way have received any financial or material support, and really no emotional support for the tough times (break-ups etc). i told her that she should no longer consider herself a christian because jesus' love is unconditional and hers is. We actually enjoyed a nice relationship the past few years and now she wants to ruin it. I told her I have ever right to be part of this group because I'm 1) GAY and 2) EX JW. DUH!!! To quote cartman: "Whatever! i do what I want!" I still hurts though and I have left a few really pointed messages on her voicemail. That's the nice thing is now I can always state my case on voicemail and don't have to worry about a retort. Has anyone tried to sue JW for emotional damages. My mom of course blames the elders for having her make this decision so therefore it's the organization or at least the congregation that broke the family apart. I'm sure here in California there's a atheist enough attorney that may want to take on the Wild Beast. I do have some allies. My older brother, not a JW, and his son. I'm trying to get my brother to use visitation of her grandson as leverage. He's pissed at her. My dad (mom's ex husband) is already to beat her down. And my step-mother, who has been more of a mother than my mom could ever be is pretty floored. Some witness, eh? Who would want to be a JW when they see what type of f*cked up thinking it causes..... and exhale time for a drink :-)

Anyone Running for President Should have to Pass a Psychological Exam
by frankiespeakin insince the president of the usa has such a responsible position i think it should be manditory for anyone running for the office and that a profile be made public knowledge, if it involves some phobia, or serious insecurity that may make him prone to irrational actions because he can't grasp enough to make a rational decision.

Yay Blondie. The recent changing of the guard reminds me of the early 90's. Everyone used to say "Damn Democrats!!". Then, the last few years everyone was saying "Damn Republicans!!" Let's give it 7 years and everyone will be saying "Damn Democrats!!"

Did anyone see the report on the cult Jesus Christians the other night on Fox 11 LA. These are some crazy people. They hold their own tribunals, inflict punishment (whippings etc), and require their members give a kidney. They made the JWs seem like a nice religion. Part of the story included family members of people in the cult trying to make contact with their members inside. It was sad.
Gotta love sweeps month.

Republicans Changing their Emblem from an Elephant
by Elsewhere ini heard recently that the rnc is changing their emblem from an elephant to a condom since it more clearly represents the party's stance : it stands up to inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks and gives a sense of security while screwing others.. .

That's funny Else-
Welcome to gridlock. Public opinion of Congress was at a all time low before the election wait till nothing gets done and everyone starts blaming and screaming at each other. Any progressive agenda will get vetoed by Bush and anything too conservative will never make it through committee by congress. I'm starting to like this idea.
The thing that may disappoint most of the critics outside of the US is that the Bush and Condi set foreign policy not the house or senate.
