We must not forget that these are the people that call a table full of senile men "their spiritual Mother" as a sign of utmost respect.... hhmmmm. (shudder)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Buying a new house is one of the most exciting things you can do! We are doing just the opposite. Next week we are putting a 3 unit apartment house on the market. Gonna just keep the one in the country.
Any one just dying to live in Vt.? Darn, I had a feeling.

does anyone remember about how long it takes for the number of memorial attendees as well as the count of partakers to be announced to the public?
for the life of me i can not remember.
i am certain that those numbers are not held back until the yearbook.
DARN! No Bethel connections. Just can not wait to see how those numbers look for attendance this year. This is the first time in 30 some odd years that I am not going to go and I have seen a lot of others on this board that are putting their foot down as well to all this nonsence.
Even if they are fudged I want to see what they spit out. Just wished that we had some secret access to them, don't you?

Hello to both of the new members in this thread and welcome to this thread.
One thing that I just happened to think about was that there is a wonderful group for gay and lesbian J.W.s and ex J.W.s and of course I can NOT think of the name of it. I have 2 very close lesbian friends-yes, they were my friends when I was in the " truth". That place has helped me to understand alternative sexuality and made sense of so many aspects of it.
Annother thing I wanted to mention is to be careful about your computer history as people can go on your pc and check out where you spend time. You might be 'outed' before you are ready. So, clean your history after each session and all of your 'sent emails' and any emails that you want to keep you might want to save in a password protected folder.
Hugs to you both

she just had the wreck this afternoon.
she appears to be okay, so far, just a few cuts and bruises.
the car is totalled.
Those are excellent points Black Swan of Memphis,
Perhaps I had better rethink my attitude... it is just that those witnesses are always thinking that they have the right to take over our lives and our relationships.
I just gotta learn to relax a bit.
Black Swan is also right in that you are a lovely person and mom to have this understanding.

My heart goes out to you. I am in a similar situation but I guess that I harbor a very selfish and bad attitude as my children are my children. I gave birth to them and in a crisis I am the mother. Friends should always be there to support but to not take over or (if need be) take one of them home to recooperate and leave me standing there.. That is just plain control. If they can not have children they can adopt.
It is wonderful that they love your daughters and drop everything in a crisis but they need to know their place.
My heart goes out to you.

while i was in walmart, picking up my meds from the pharmacy, i happened to run into some witnesses.
they were waiting for their meds.
my youngest daughter was standing a few feet back, so i yelled to her "come on over here and stand in the apostate line".
How old is your youngest daughter? How did she take being called over like that? If she is a teen I bet that she was just fuming. They can not get her to shun you unless she is baptized, right??

were you ever really joyful as a witness?
Every minute of every day! Wasn't everyone??!!!
