My Dad's story
by coffee_black infreedomlovers post about her dads letter got me thinking about my dad, in fact, it sounds like it could have been written by my dad.
every once in a while it really hits me that he is no longer here to talk to.
unlike most of you, i wouldnt have been afraid to approach him with questions or doubts.

Syracuse 18 years, Buffalo, 2 years...currently..Atlanta (north GA actually) since 89...ok traffic may be tough even after that rig flipped this morning...it was not a fun ride. I don't own a snow shovel and my DJ business is growing every year. I guess to each their own.

Apostate music
by Bumble Bee inas a jw kid, i was always hearing about not listening to certain music.
one reason my mother called me apostate is because she saw some cd's i had - she called it gospel.
some of them were decidedly what is termed "chrisitan" music in the store, some are crossover artists (chrisitian but played on mainstream/top 40 radio) and there is alot of country music that is spiritual for lack of a better word.. i was always under the impression that "unapproved" music would be songs with lyrics that go against biblical principals - sex, drugs, etc, not music that promotes good things in life, or glorifiying god and jesus.

After getting a letter from my mother about how she had to make some tough decisions...meaning the shunning route because I have slipped away...I don't care. It's sad that my parents and my only brother has chosen an organization ove me. Some of you read my post about that letter I got last month. As to being on the website...there are some that have helped me through this crap. I sent a letter back to my mom telling her that my doors are always open and that I felt for her and a decision she will make. I know that they love me...Oh as to the question...I don't give a rat's a$$. My name and picture are posted to the site. Not because I am some bold charachter....just principle I guess. I stood up not being afraid going door to door...ok maybe a couple of the dogs running at me. Seriously now...I am not. The only thing I am afraid is that my existance in my family's eyes is fading as I have faded away from the WTBS.

Talking to my mother...
by mrsjones5 ini was talking to my mother last night and towards the end of our conversation she said "oh i'm tired so after i get off the phone with you i'm going to get in bed and study my watchtower.
then i said "i know what you mean but i have to get the kids in bed.
they want to go to church tomorrow but they dont want to go to bed and it's hard for them get up for church if they dont have enough sleep.

Josie,
It's funny that you mention that...It was 18 years before I stepped into a religious building. I found one that does not bash other religions but, rather encourages to find your own path. I can't tell you how many times at the hall about this religion and that religion is no good and that they are all wrong. I go in Khaki shorts and a collared shirt...no tie required...and if I miss a Sunday....nobody is beating down the door.
