Blows one's mind that it doesn't blow this pioneer's mind on the wrongness of having to sit in a back room becuase you were not wearing the "right" clothes.

Pioneer Encouragement - "You can sit in the back room"
by 4thgen inlast night one of the pioneers stopped by on her way home from the pioneer meeting.
she has always been very kind and i believe she is acted out of concern, however her visit was unsettling.
she mentioned that all the pioneers were counseled to invite everyone they know inactive or those who has had life has got them down to come to (a special?

Disfellowshipped daughter not told of father's death
by dozy inmy wife was informed by her father that an old jw friend had died so she decided to text his daughter ( who lives abroad & is disfellowshipped ) her condolences.
immediately the daughter phoned my wife in great anguish as she hadnt been informed that her father had died ( bearing in mind this event had happened 3 days previously.
) of course any chance that she might have had for coming over for the funeral had past.. her two brothers are elders and her sister is a regular pioneer but not one of them had thought to let their sister know.

She needs to get ahold of any "will" he may have had. Did he leave everything to the Witlesses?

The WTS is going to have to invent their own clothing line! Could be a great side business, with several million JWs to clothe.

Getting bariatric surgery in March!
by marmot inafter being on a waiting list for three and a half years i've finally reached the light at the end of the tunnel and am going under the knife for a gastric sleeve operation in march.
i can't tell you how pumped i am because i'll finally be able to re-take my life after being severely overweight for several years.
i gained a ton of weight after being put on meds for bipolar disorder and it made exercising a painful chore.

I'm happy for you. Please keep us posted on your progress.
What are your plans before the surgery? I ask because someone I know is looking into this, and is having to show the doctors that she is exercising and eating better before the surgery. She also has some sleep apnea & heart issues that she's trying to control better before she goes forward.

First, get your attorney. Second, is the agreement in writing? If so, then you should have the children unless something terrible happens and you can't take care of them. Third, have activities planned with your children so it's impossible for her to pick them up.
And finally, show your ex-wife your concerns about how the the imperfect men inside the WTS who hide pedophiles who are also imperfect men, the incidents that have occurred. In particular, I am thinking about the many pedophiles that attached themselves to single, JW women because of the children. I am also thinking of the many JWs who molested kids during "rides" when their parents were not there. Show her newspaper and court reports. Silentlambs and watchtowerdocuments. will make it quicker research for you. Don't bash her religion, but just set it very clear that you have legitimate concerns about the children being with any other JW, but her.
