4Is this a new thing?
by dobbie inforgive me if it isn't but i've felt too rough to post here lately so may have missed it.
hubby hasn't been to meetings for ages, he's fading.
anyway his mother rang him up and said that his elder step father wanted to know how he felt about the sign i have on our door which says no religious callers ( obviously trying to catch him out).

Forgive me if it isn't but i've felt too rough to post here lately so may have missed it. Hubby hasn't been to meetings for ages, he's fading. Anyway his mother rang him up and said that his elder step father wanted to know how he felt about the sign i have on our door which says no religious callers ( obviously trying to catch him out). Anyway she said that they needed to know how he felt because if he wanted to go to meetings he has to sign his name to the list on the door?!He didn't ask her anymore about it but it sounds odd to me as if only those with their name on the list are allowed in, has anyone come across this anywhere else at all, only it sounds a bit strange, like they are discouraging any but 'true'' jws. I can't think she made it up. Ever heard of this?

hubby told jw mother i'm pregnant ....
by dobbie inso i'm 11wks pregnant (hooray!
) and hubby has been undecided whether to even bother telling his jw lot about it as they are shunning me (d'ad) and have hardly anything to do with him or kiddies.. anyway he was away yesterday and she rang him just to find out train times (only reason she ever rings cos she wants him to fiddle her cheap tickets), he said 'by the way youre gonna have another grandchild soon' what did she say was she pleased did she say congratulations?hell no!
"oh right" then silence, then "well i won't be allowed to see it anyway will i seen as d's d'ad herself".

Thanks guys i know i shouldn't be surprised at her really, but i though maybe somewhere in there might be a heart!
Scully i am with you in this, i have also had enough of being treated like this, strangely enough my sis in law shuns me yet a couple of months ago they couldnt get a babysitter so got my hubby to get me to do it - then went back to shunning me again, so i have decided to finish with the lot of them, its not a case of me trying to get my own back but that its the only way to move on past them and their rubbish and get on with our lives, while they're still stuck waiting for the big A. The fact i have realised is that in their eyes cos i d'ad everything is my fault, even them not seeing their grandchildren, but its rubbish she didn't even visit my 2yr old in hospital who was v poorly recently, told hubby it was because of me!Theres no reasoning with them and if they can't be pleased about a new life or the smashing kids we have they're not worth it to be honest. The total mind control is so apparent its scary, i'm considerring doing a will and naming guardians for the boys in case anything happened to us, just to try and make sure as much as poss that the boys wouldn't fall into their hands.

So i'm 11wks pregnant (hooray!) and hubby has been undecided whether to even bother telling his jw lot about it as they are shunning me (d'ad) and have hardly anything to do with him or kiddies.
Anyway he was away yesterday and she rang him just to find out train times (only reason she ever rings cos she wants him to fiddle her cheap tickets), he said 'by the way youre gonna have another grandchild soon' what did she say was she pleased did she say congratulations?Hell no!"Oh right" then silence, then "Well i won't be allowed to see it anyway will i seen as D's d'ad herself". So then he replied that i have always said if she wants to see the kids she is always welcome at our house. To which she says shes not allowed to and if we want her to see them he has to take them to their house (no way the last time she was alone with my eldest she tried to get him to say he wanted to go to meetings).Hubby told her hes fed up with the daily shunning i get and he wants to bang their heads together those that do it at the school he says i've done nothing wrong except to not believe it, she says i have cos i celebrate xmas (after i left).Then says how hard my sis in law finds it to ignore me because my son is her nephew - how do they think i feel being ignored everyday when all i wanted was to enjoy taking my little boy to school and back, now i dread it though i don't let them see that. Then she says her elder husband wants to know how hubby feels about my sign on the door saying no religious callers - but he changed the subject cos i know they are on his trail now too.
Anyway sorry to rant, i just think its sad that religion comes before her own kids and grandkids, she even had the nerve to mention blood and saying i'd probably have it and give it to the kids if they needed it - umm definately yes!!! One good thing thats come out of it though is hubby sort of standing up against her as hes usually scared stiff of her, she sent him to school with a black eye once, not the nicest of people!

Mary Lou and Joyce shunned me - so I shunned them back.
by AK - Jeff ini used to carry a 'no shunning' policy.
i would not tolerate those who acted toward me like they did not know me after 30 years as a jw.
i would force them to speak - or embarrass the living hell out of them if they didn't.

I'm glad you looked so happy in front of them, and there's nothing wrong in not speaking to them if you don't want. I decided to treat them how i get treated although thats not my personality, because why speak to people everyday when they ignore you back? They only speak when it suits their purpose, i was meant to help out at my sons school today but one of them was there with me and she has ignored me daily for about 9 months now, but today it was as if things were normal she spoke civilly, so i returned it, but i think its a lot of hypocrisy to speak to you one minute when it suits them and then ignore you for the rest of your days! Yet i had to sit next to my bro and sis in law for 20 mins at parents evening the other day and they completely blanked me, even when the other jws weren't there. So from now on thats what theyre gonna get, if they ignore me they get it back if they deign to speak i will answer. But they'd better not ask anymore favors! They really hate it when they see you getting on with your life and enjoying it don't they, they seem to expect you either to spiral into 'moral decay (i wish!LOL) or to be totally moserable, so even on the days i am feeling bad i don't show them that.

My little boy was faking illness this morning, he had to spend the day in the class he will be moving into next school term, and the teacher has a bad reputation for shouting a lot. So i tried to say to him "No one gets hurt from shouting " and hi replied straight away "I do, it hurts my ears!" I couldn't think of a reply to that one!

Personally i'm glad this has happened at last, I had to see my beautiful aunt who was only in her mid forties, die a horrible death of lung cancer and see her go from a beautiful vivacious person to skin and bone who couldn't even keep the coating on her tablets down so theres no way i'd ever touch the nasty stuff! But i really don't think of smokers as 2nd class citizens they have a right to smoke if they want to i just don't think it should be around those who don't want it near them, not everyones as considerate as Hellrider, i have had to stand in a bus stop and be smoked all over or miss that one and now i have an asthmatic son i don't even like us having to walk behind someone up town who is smoking.
