i sent out wedding invitations last week.
apparently they caused my parents to get a divorce.
i got an e-mail from my mother saying that she left my dad, is filing for divorce, and that dad thinks she left because she wants to go to my wedding and he won't let her.
I would come if it was in my area - just cause I would. Of course my rulebook is less restricting than Jw's nowadays.
That's sweet of you but I don't think you could abide by the no alcohol rule .. LOL .. Seriously, the church where I'm having the reception does not allow dancing or alcohol !! (Shocking I know)

Yes, it is JW related. My grandparents are JWs and I am disassociated.
My parents are JW. My mom e-mails me but will not talk to me on the phone. I KNOW my dad won't come. He's just like that -- stubborn. My mom wants to come but she is afraid. (of God or other JWs I don't know)
About my parents -- when I was a JW, I always got them together and talked them through their problems. I was always like a mediator or a counselor. Now they don't have me and no one to help them fix it. I know its not my fault -- I didn't leave them. They quit talking to me. If I was still there, they would probably still be together. But it was them who pushed me away so its all their fault.

They are supposed to be Christians, right? (snickering) Isn't it unloving to be hurtful? Shouldn't they "still love me but have to follow Jehovah's direction"? Why hurt me on purpose? Couldn't they have just thrown it in the garbage?

I still don't know that she will go to my wedding.
My grandparents put the whole invitation unopened in an envelope and mailed it back with no note or anything. WHY?! Were they just trying to hurt me? Couldn't they just have thrown it away? It made me cry. I think I've gotten over it. I just really don't understand why they would do something like that.
i was having a very interesting conversation with a co-worker that is a "born-again christian" and is a very nice guy.
he is very hard-working and everybody loves him to death.
one reason i like him so much is because he lives the role of a christian and not just "announce" every 5 minutes that he is born-again like alot of christians i know.
What we really think is that if you do not trust in Jesus Christ, you will be eternally seperated from God's love.
I do not personally think that hell is literally burning fire. I just believe hell is seperation from God.
as some of you know i am a wedding florist(side job) - just a few pictures of what i do.
this is what i have been doing for the past couple months(planning part).
this wedding took me a little over 35 hours to complete.
Beautiful pictures! I'm getting married next month. Your flowers are beautiful! I wish you were doing mine :(

I've seen the David Crowder Band in concert too and they are awesome. They are great at getting the crowd involved. I was there to see Third Day and I enjoyed the David Crowder Band more!
Now to listen to these songs.
"jehovah's witness, such a presentable vegetable".
"jehovah's witness protection program: electrify your front door".
"freedom is the distance between jws and me".
I think i need to make a website selling bumper stickers and T-shirts with these sayings. That could be fun. *mental note made.
i've waited to mention this yet because certain dates needed confirming but just to let you all know i am getting married next month with megan!.
we may appear to be too young but you must understand .
1) we do love each other and we don't want to wait.
I know that love is really important -- but I don't think people really understand what love means. I got married at 18 and divorced at 23. (I'm 25 now and getting married next month)
Love means you are both looking out for the other person's best interest. You do everything you can to make her happy and be sure that she is going the same for you. That means that you do the dishes because you know that she worked all day and is tired too. It means that she helps you with the yard work because she doesn't want the whole burden on you.
Never say the word divorce -- unless you seriously mean it.
Always talk and find out what she means by what she says. A good way to do this is to tell her what you understand her to mean by what she just said. Example: She says, "I want you to stay home saturday instead of going to the game." You say, "Did you mean that you do not like me going to football games?" and she says, "No, I wanted you to take me to our favorite restaurant this time." Communicating is not talking a lot -- communicating is finding out how the other person truely feels about stuff and what they are really thinking. And even if you have to talk 4 hours to settle things, do it. Its not a waste of time.
Ask her opinion on things before you do them. It doesn't mean you have to do everything she wants, but just by talking to her about it, she'll feel more valued.
Ask her now if when she gets upset if she wants you to follow her to hold her. Most men would rather have private time and women would rather be held when upset. (not all, most -- ask her)
Not every couple argues. Don't accept it as normal. Some couples do actually talk things out instead of fussing and that's the goal.
Try new and interesting things in bed. (buy Laura Corn's book "52 nights of great sex")
Your relationship will either get better over time or worse. Its up to you to either work on it or let it go down the hole.
YOU do the right thing even if she doesn't.
Compliment her and tell her you love her.
please describe a typical saturday for a jw child.
reason being my jw once told me that all jw children love the door to door (yeah right) and they have all afternoon to play.
don't they need to get ready for the sunday service?
Saturday:
7 am -- wake up/eat breakfast
8am -- leave for service
12pm--get home
1pm -- chores/yard work
(occasionally we went shopping as a family Sat. afternoon -- ever other month or so)
sometimes when Dad had a hard week, we would just chill all afternoon.
I never did my Watchtower.
5pm -- dinner
7-10pm TV time.
