  i have been disfellowshipped for 8 years now.

  since then my family wanted nothing to do with me.

  now that i have a child (a 6 mth old baby boy) my parents want to know about me again.

  "Blood is thicker than water". You parents are finally realizing what shunning really means and how much they have to loose. Take this as an opportunity to mend fences. As for indoctrinating the child, they can't do it if you don't allow it. At some point in the future bring up the subject and just state that you would appreciate it if they do not discuss religion or the Bible with your children. Be very clear with everyone what their roles are in the family. But above all enjoy your family.

  do you have a favorite translation?

  king james, niv, or others that i might not of heard of that are perhaps more poetically written.

  or a style/version that you particularly like?.

  Who puts them up there and why? What doeas the "i" mean? And the "?" ?. And the thumbs up or down does it mean that whoever put it there likes or dislikes the post? And the flame, does it mean hot or contoversial? Does the number of replies make it hot? Just wondering....

  My little heathens

  i da'd in march after seeing the filth under the facade... the last meeting i was at with my kids was a co visit in may when i couldn't stomach the drivel and we walked out early... since then, the kids (9, 10 and 13) have spent the summer, now every other weekend with their dad who is a jw about 2.5 hours away.

  in the meantime, we've celebrated all the birthdays (two july kids and me in august, brother, nephew and cousins...) where the kids have signed the cards and helped pick out presents.

  they've been to about 2-3 b'day parties each for classmates since march.

  That is very sweet. I'm glad you and your kids are having so much fun. I hope dad doesn't screw them up too badly.

  It happened again!!

  by Scully in

  so i was at the supermarket today, and rang my groceries through the self-serve cash register.

  i paid as i normally do, using my atm card, and requested $15 cash back.. when i picked up my cash from the machine, not only was there a $5 bill and a $10 bill, but five $20 bills too!!

  i brought the extra money back to the cashier in charge of the self-serve registers, thinking that someone who rang through ahead of me may have forgotten to take their money and just might come back hoping to find it.
