  My sis calls & says,"Your dead"&"I wish you'd died in a car accident"(long)

  by morwen in

  2. experiences

  ya know... i'm a bit amazed at times at how utterly out of touch with reality jw's can be.

  here's a little bit of a background of what's been going on....

  i've been having an on going issue with my jw family about my husband & i(and our 4 young children) no longer going to meetings and us having questions/problems with this religion.we are not df'd nor da'd (at this point) but have not been to a meeting in about 7 months and have been inactive for probably 3-4 years now.we haven't lived near my parents for several years so they have been a little "in the dark" so to speak as to us being inactive but we kinda were given a bit of "lee-way" since 5 yrs.

  I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what it must have been like to lose your child....
  
  I am so sorry you have to deal with such stress from family.
  
  I can't even begin to tell you how familiar the conversations are. I have received 2 "Dear John" letters from 2 of my best friends this week DEMANDING I tell them where I stand on things. It's so weird how they want you to draw a line in the sand so they know how to feel about you. They all just went to their District Assembly so I'm sure they were all comparing stories about me and then they came up with this plan to confront me and try to force me to take a stand against them.
  
  we can relate. that's about all the comfort we can give eachother with regard to these situations.

  my sons wonderfull heart

  by ajsmama in

  so last night i was crying in my room so bad that my 5 year old heard me, even though i was trying to be quiet.

  he then started looking around the house for something shaped like a heart.

  he found a little heart shaped pendant and started rubbing it on his chest, then he started rubbing it on mine.

  What world do you live in? (long read)

  by rune in

  2. friends

  this is just a little babble of mine.

  once you are finished i would really appreciate if any of you could take the time to flesh out just what existence and the world is to you.

  describe the sensation, the feeling with which you generally take it...everything to do with your perception.

  how do guys ask you out on a date these days?

  by Calliope in

  2. experiences

  ever feel like you've been sequestered from normal human interaction for too long?.

  since my split (from hubby), i've been wondering what the rules are these days.

  in my earlier days, i was a partying stoner (well, a closet one) and i didn't date guys as much as end up in a closet or in a parked car, hot tub... okay you got the picture.. so, i've been email bantering back and forth with this guy i used to work with and yesterday, got this email:.

  Calliope -
  
  I really can't speak from recent experience but.......I think it depends what you want with this guy. Are you looking for another long term relationship, booty call dude, or just be friends?
  
  If you are serious about this guy I'd go stone-cold sober but hey if it turns out to be "friends with benefits" then I say get stoned and have a good time! :)
  
  BTW - I'd really like to chat with you sometime about some things.......if you want to chat PM me your email - my MAC won't let me send PM's through this website... arghhhhh

  if you've read my previous posts you'll know that my relationship with my mom has had its ups and downs since i left the org.

  while my parents (both jw) still speak to me, the relationship has been strained.

  well, this past week i got up the courage to call her and invite her to lunch, something we haven't done since i da'd last august.

  it's amazing how things can change and soften with *TIME*
  
  I'm glad you are able to rebuild something with your mom. it's so important for your own well-being...
