What I said to my wife
by Frazzled UBM inall - so my wife told me she was going to the kh yesrterday.
it has been a couple of months so i was a bit disappointed but i sucked it in.
i thought about it for a while and when we had a quiet moment together i said to her: "i know you need to make an appearance every once in a while to avoid the risk of being asked to da yourself and being shunned.

First post after a year or two of lurking on this site-Sorry for the length!
by Pattytheperfect1 innot sure of the point of telling my story, but just got off the phone with my grandma and i am so angry, stressed and i don't know what else...i guess i just wanted to hear from someone other than my husband that i'm not crazy for my reaction to family interaction.. my condensed story gramatical errors and all :).
father was a born in jw, mother was a convert.
i was born the last of 3 siblings and shortly after my birth in 1981 my parents divorced.

Welcome pattytheperfect1 ! I am so sorry for what you had to endure through your childhood . You are a strong person ,a survivor . I hope the forum will be a healing place for you to vent and recover . You are not alone ,your story or something very close to it is often repeated by other WT survivors . We now all gain strength from one another ,and our shared experiences .
Welcome to Buck Rogers ,and the many more that are lurking still not ready to make that first leap into revealing their own story .

Watched 3 season of game of thrones - I want those 25+ hours of my life back
by will-be-apostate inthis is the worst series i've ever watched in my life.
whenever things are starting to get smooth and good characters seem to gain advantage, the writers just kill them.
i've wasted 25+ hours of my life watching how the writers make the bad win over the good.. they make you continue watching by planting the seed in your head that "just a few more episodes and everything is gonna be all right", but no, painful death comes upon anyone who is not cruel and perfidious enaugh.

Nice conversation
by GoUnion inhello everyone i just wanted to give a litte update on what happened today with my tolerant, but still active jw wife.
she was at the sunday morning meeting today and when she came home she told me the wt study was about the revised overlapping generation setting.
there has been some tension whenever we discuss my differences with current wt beliefs so i was surprised she brough this up.

That is a very good start ! Doesn't it feel good to be able to have an honest open conversation for once ?
It took a good two years after my husband and I stopped attending meetings ,that we noticed we felt free and comfortable sharing ideas that were independent and original . The indocrination of the Watchtower society is not an easy thing to break free from ,but it is possible !

OMG ....I am so hooked on Game Of Thrones . I have read the books ,and have watched the series completely through .IT IS AWESOME !! Can't wait toinight is the season premire of season four !!!!
will-be-apostate....I am afraid we can not be friends .....your blasphemy is just too much for me to handle .....LOL
I love how the author is such a sick twisted master at drawing you in and then dashing all your hopes and dreams .(RED WEDDING )
Still have to read Dance of Dragons and see what he has in store for Danareyes (sp?)
My greatest fear is that the author will die before he completes the series !

Early this morning I get a phone call from my JW brother I have not heard from in 5 yrs .The first thought in my head was someone has died . So I answer cautiously ......HI IS EVERYTHING OKAY ? He just starts talking as if we had always been in contact. First he apologizes ....well sort of ...for not having contact in so long ( then he adds well it really is both of our faults ....okay) . He says he doesn't want it to be like that anymore ,and I say well great me neither ,I am happy he called , and all the past is water under the bridge . He tells me he is now sober one year ,again I tell him that is great ! I also tell him our older brother would love to hear from him too !
All of the sudden his cult personality kicks in full force ...."OH you know I can't have a relationship with you guys ,I I just wanted to touch base " " You grew up a witness you KNOW what the Biblke says !"
I told him we don't care how he chooses to worship ,we just want to be a family . But then he was just going to continue on spouting BS so i said yeah thanks for calling bye ....
This pissed me off so bad this morning . So no relationship just contact when he feels guilty enough to call .
Nice that he can quote scripture to back shunning ,but completely block out the simple command to LOVE .
