We celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary this week.
by nicolaou inlike most of you we never did the birthday or christmas thing and so over the years anniversary celebrations were grabbed as a real chance to wrap presents, get festive and party.
this habit has carried on and there's a small mountain of shiny gifts all waiting to be torn open on april 5th.
okay, the kids are bit older now (18, 16 & 12) but we all still make a fuss of this one day.. we'll be going out for a slap up meal tomorrow night, just the 5 of us at our favourite curry house.

Hi "The", you've come to a good place to get some answers and support. I'd recommend that you read Crisis of conscience by Ex Governing Body Member Raymond Franz.
Welcome to the Forum
Best wishes

What do you have now?
by osmosis ini was talking to my aunt the other day.
she knows i talk to you apostate folks and i don't think she's very comfortable with it, but that's her problem.. she did, however, ask a question that seems particularly important, not only in and of itself, but even more so when you apply it more generally.. the question was: what do you people have now that you're out?
what has leaving given you?.

I saw the film when it was first out in the cinemas and was moved by it. Got it out later on DVD for the rest of the family to watch.
The mindset of that generation thought that the aboriginies were inferior and that the kids born with some white in them would have a better chance of a future if they were taken away from their families. I have an aboriginal friend in his fifties who had a similar thing happen to him, he was on the run and passed around to relatives to keep him away from authorities.
The powers that be actually expected that the aboriginals would disappear or be "bred out" within a few generations, and taking their half caste children was part of that strategy. It makes me feel bad that human beings did that en mass to their fellow man.
Yes I'm sorry it happened. It's the same sorrow about what was done to unmarried pregnant women in the 1960's. They were bullied and forced to give up their babies for adoption and had virtually no support or rights. Similar situation to kids in orphanages in the uk who were shipped off to australia as often slave labour after the 2nd world war. They were told their parents were dead, and their family were told that they had been adopted.
The authorities at that time thought that they knew better, and ruled with an iron fist, not to be questioned.
any similarities............
