jwdaughter..i know,youre right about the elders...moving isnt a possibility at this point,but believe me,ive thought of it...its too bad,because i really really LIKE my parents as the quirky interesting people that they are..i went grocery shopping today,and i really missed having to watch out for my mum,making sure that she didnt walk out in front of cars and like...i never had kids,so maybe its the maternal thing manifesting itself..thanks!!!!

A companion animal was mauled to death by a pair of pit bulls today.
by Madame Quixote ini was in the middle of a family-related meltdown when it happened.
the two stray pit bulls were in my yard as i left the house to deal with my daughter's defiance over something stupid.
i was gone for about ten minutes, and left some of her things at her boyfriend's apartment (with an eviction notice for her).. when i got back home the terriers were still in the yard, lounging around like it was their own!

and yes,i do think that since my folks are getting older,that the dubs want their assets..i have gotten wind of that thgru another channel actualy,and i have seen some of the dubs litter ature on it...these are evil people..and im exploring the expose to the papers thing too...hey,the way i see it,they are the same as any other brainwashing cult,maybe worse,because they are a bit more subtle..the local chain hardware store in the town near here,has a dub working there.everytime i go in theremhe hides..ive made a point a few times of asing him for some help finding things,but he always tells me to wait a sec,that he wil find someone who will help me..that seems a bit extreme..id fire someone who worked for me that did that,wouldnt you?like,if i got a complaint against tthem?..hmmmm....

Thats a good idea,thanks...Will they even talk to me,seeing that I am disfellowshipped?Like I know that some folks say that they are contacted regularly and encouraged to rejoin,but I have never been contacted.

Do the dubs honor legal documents? Thanks in advance for any help.If this dosent work,and do not get to associate w/my parents again bcz the cult forces them,Im going to go to the local paper and offer them an exclusive interview about the issue..I think that people need to know what a terrible and dangerous cult the Jehovahs Witlesses are..Maybe ill even take it further..They have been getting away w/this crap for a long time,and taking advantage of older vulnerable people seems to be a speciality of theirs...Any ideas?...

Suicide
by Regrets inhello all.. i post here under a different name but feel the need to unburden myself anonymously.
i hope you can understand.. several years ago, while married and an active dub, i had a one night stand.
i was mortified at what i had done because this had happened before and i had told my wife.
