STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP

by tijkmo in

first episode aired last night in the uk.. brilliant.

.

BFD, did you ever watch "West Wing?" by Aaron Sorkin? He does this show also but the setting is a Saturday Night Live type show and it centers on the writer, director and the cast members. It details the challenges of coming up with a show in 7 days and issues that come between all the characters. It was on NBC here, but lasted for one season. You may still be able to watch full episodes of it still on NBC.com.

Should I tell him how I feel or let it go?

brief history: my mom shuns me, my step dad is not a jw but thinks pretty much like one and called me apostate when i tried to tell him some things.

my step dad and i have never been close, he was verbally abusive to me growing up.. well, last week he and my mom fly up my ex- and his wife with my daughter (all jw's) to go boating with them and my sisters kids.

i am glad my daughter got to see her cousins....but, i am sure if they talked about me at all it was not positive talk.

hey megsmomma, I'm sorry you are going through this. I remember doing parking lot witnessing a few years back and was told by a guy who refused the mags that witnesses break up families. Of course I took offense especially since we were in middle of studying the "Secret to Family Happiness" book in the book studies. Reading experiences like yours solidifies the fact to me that witness agenda promotes unhealthy family environments especially with regards to shunning. That guy in the parking lot was right all along. Here is a great big hug from me

P.S. CHANGELING IS A WOLF!!!!!

we are a turn key industrial electrical contractor that is currently expanding our install division into alaska.

this is the first of many projects up there.

I believe JW in this case is for a Journeyman electrician and not religious affiliation. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

Edited: Just found a site saying JW is a Journeyman Wireman here: IBEW NECA TECHNICAL INSTITUTE

Hey Para, that really sucks, a warning should have been enough, not a freaking ticket. Hope you can follow through and file a complaint.

Would You Now Consider Yourself "Normal" Since You're "Out"?

or are you still grossly affected because you were once a jw?

FadingAway

I was f'd up before I joined the JWs, I was really f'd up during my time with the JWs, now I back to my previous f'd up level, which is normal for me.
