  I personally do not see the WT changing their stance on extreme shunning. I wish I had more hope. The best that we all can do is make sure everybody within shouting distance realizes that they do it and the effects of it. There are TV shows/series about shunning in different religions and it hasn't changed their stance one bit.

  I also think that those with a brain and a heart will change when they finally understand the cruelty and futility of the practice, and take a stand for their loved ones. Some though just don't have it in their hearts to be that kind of person, and will continue in their hate till their dying breath. So very sad.

  I think individuals will make a difference. All Oompa wanted was to lead an authentic life and have his family. Sad how JW's think that's a bad thing.

  i was doing some research on the subject of beliefs and belief systems when i came across an on-line survey/test that supposedly helps you determine which religion or philosophy is most like your current beliefs.

  if you're curious, you can take the quiz here: belief system selector quizafter answering the 20 questions the results were spit out!

  tada!!!.

  Yeah, I went off on faves with some sillies included. I don't color within the lines or follow direction, which can be pretty silly.

  Okay...silly...Thunderbirds. Mr Ed and My Favorite Martin. Definitely silly.

  Ye, I think I have.

  Even the ones that know it's BS don't want to put in the effort to start a new life. The freedom doesn't mean that much to them I think.

  Mrs. Jones these are beautiful.

  There is such talent and beauty in a few familiar words when combined convey such meaning, understanding and emotion.

  Ugh. It's painful. So glad to be away from such negativity.

  Thanks again.

  My mother wants to see my kids

  i decided to call my mother more often at the request of my brother (the parental units have been driving him crazy and my calling more hopefully will decrease the craziness my brother has had to deal with).

  so i called her last tuesday and the first thing that pops out of her mouth is she recovering from a weekend of babysitting her "substitute grandchildren" (her exact words and actually my nonjw cousin's children) since she doesn't get to see her own grandchildren.. wonderful .

  there are reasons why i don't take my children to my mother's house.
