i always thought that if you want to do 6 or 60 hours a month in field service, why make a big fanfare about it and become a pioneer or whatever?
i always thought if you want to go out loads, then go out loads; why do you need a group of "elders" to approve of it and make an announcement?
i've read about a few on this board who got turned down for pioneering.
I did it to make my parents happy.

so, i got a call from my jw sis yesterday telling me that my grandpa had a stroke and is in the hospital.
gramps is big-brother-by-the-book-jw.
i have talked to him a handful of times since i was 18. when i was depressed and went to the hospital/therapy etc..he told me to stop being foolish and all i needed to do was pray and go in service more.
Wonderwoman, I am sorry for your broken heart, my advice would be to go see your grandfather. I want to respond with the fact that my father has broken my heart, have not seen him in 15 years, he a good, strong JW. I too feel like, "if only he knew how hard I work, and if only he could see me as a mother to my children". He has never met them or seen them. If only he could meet Haley and Dylan and see that they are so sweet and good, and have a real joy for life. If something happened to him though, and someone told me about it, I would do my best to see him, to comfort him, etc. I think I would regret it, if I didn't.
I understand your situation completely, he probably feels too that you broke his heart, but you know its only cause hes brainwashed like good girl bad girl stated...

untitled document <!-- .style1 {font-family: verdana} --> painful watchtower memoriesthis subject is not an easy one to talk about so.
perhaps you should consider your thoughts very.
carefully before you answer.. the summer months are some of the most trying times .
1. My parents physical abuse till I was 17 years old
2. The humiliation
3. My mom becoming an alcholic overtime while a witness
4. My dad (who is still a JW) not talking to me for 15 years and not ever meeting his grandchildren...

Dismemebered, I knew I was saying it wrong, I knew someone would correct me....my humble apologies . Yet, I own the movie, and you'd think I would have memorized it by now...I really wanted to post the part about the note to the "gasman", "how'd they know I got gas"....You gonna correct me on this one too?

dumb and dummer, Jim Carey (Loyd) says to Lauren Holly (Mary) "what do you say a girl like me and guy like you getting together"?, Lauren Holly says "one in a million", Jim Carey says "so your saying I have a chance"...lol
dumb and dummer, "you guys been doing a little boozin, you bin tipping back on grampas sauce". (then cop drinks Loyds pee in the beer bottles).

ughh, i had to let my accoutant/book keeper go.
by the why she took it you would have thought we had been b-friend/g-friend.
she called after a half hour to say she wasn't believeing me.
I had to fire a guy (luckily only one so far) last summer. He cried (literally) and begged to work for 2 weeks for free. Inside I felt so bad, he just wasn't working out, he would have been good at something else, just not with what we do.

untitled document <!-- .style1 {font-family: verdana} --> in what ways do you still think or act like one of jehovah's witnesses?
last night, some co-workers invited me to watch monday night football at a .
local area bar.
I do not feel I act like a JW at all now, but in the beginning, 15 years ago, when I was 18, I was very excited about my freedom, but found that when I was put in a situation...for example, I was at a small party with a girlfriend from Highschool, we were the only girls. I felt completely out of place and uncomfortable like "I shouldn't be here in this situation". Not that I didn't love the boys, I was just used to JW boys...Also, when I 1st left, I felt very scared of having sex. I had my 1st serious boyfriend, he was very patient, but I did not have sex with him until 4-1/2 months later, I still had this feeling like I was so immoral...then it went away...lol...
To this day, I still say and do some things that are possibly contributed to being a JW growing up. Certain words I use, or the way I speak, or maybe how happy I am, which is because I appreciate my freedom everyday.
