  It says I am "Brainy".

  However, I think "Sneezy" from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs fits better---My allergies are killing me right now! Ah-Choo!

  well, since i da'd my parents have shunned me.

  they have however replied to my emails inquiring as to their health and such.

  every few months i send them an email telling them how i am and asking them how they are.

  ((((unique))))

  I can understand. My mom just "officially" started shunning me on her own. She has known where I stand for a year, though not disassociated or disfellowshipped. (We moved). All of a sudden this January they come for a visit and she drops the bomb. Refuses to set foot in our house again or talk to us. She actually stayed in their motorhome for 2 days before my dad (non-jw) was ready to leave. That was horrible. I couldn't even go home to get away from it. SHE WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY!!!!!

  She calls 2 months later, right after a car accident, not serious, but wrecked the back of vehicle. I pick up the phone and she acts like everything is normal. She says "Hi Hon. Dad and I were just in an accident. " She talks to me then and the next day to complain of her health. She is a chronic complainer and hypochondriac. She even talks of coming to our house on their way home to rest and recouperate. OK. I tell them they are always welcome.

  Less than a week later, they are headed home and completely bypass us. I heard through the nonjw family they were headed straight home. I call dad's cell phone to see when to expect them. Mom answers. "Hello?" I say "Hi!" and she says "Oh. Here." and passes it to my dad (Non jw). WHAT? She completely snubs me and doesn't care anymore now that she doesn't need me. We never were close, but my goodness! I didn't even get a civil hello or anything.

  I am sorry your health is affected. Mine is too. I am on anti-depressants. I hope the next time they take your BP you are in a peaceful state of mind and find everything is fine. This is such a rotten road to travel. If you want to chat, pm me, there are so many here in our situation and way worse. I hope the support you get here helps you.

  I am glad you posted this. It helps hearing the stories of others and knowing I'm not alone.

  I am going to try to send you a pm, I've never tried before.

  LOL! I was about to eat some popcorn as I started scrolling down. Thank goodness! I would have choked to death on it, I started laughing so hard at the pic of the 3 boys "watering" the plants!

  SPARKPLUG: I figured you meant ANY of the stunts! I can see my little guy still trying some of these as he gets older. "Watering" the plants seems to be something most never outgrow!

  Thanks for the cute thread purps! With a little guy in the house, it is even funnier! Because I know how true it is!!!!!

  Is it wrong to hope that a loved one will die?

  i received a call last night that my grandmother had a stroke.

  my first thought was "finally".

  i know how awful that sounds, but her health has been deteriorating for years.

  (((((Para))))))

  I am so sorry. I know how you feel. Relief and guilt all together.

  When my grandpa was on his deathbed, there was no hope of recovery, it was just a waiting game. It was very hard on everyone involved and was torture just waiting for death to come. My first thought when my dad came in and said he was gone was relief. Happy for the relief of his pain and guilt that it was a relief to me to have the wait over. But I think I would not want to linger, and linger and linger. I would want to escape and have the pain and misery gone. He couldn't speak or anything at the end, just drugged up for pain and you know that didn't take care of it all. You are not alone in your feelings. The hardest thing to forgive is ourself. I hope you find comfort during this trial.

  I am glad to hear you plan on moving and are protecting yourself. If there is a medical reason, the doctors are no doubt searching for it and monitoring him. You however, MUST put your safety and mental health as priority one right now (imho). It is good to hear you are feeling better and less shaky. It sounds like you've had a rough life in your youth dealing with these issues and are sticking to the promise you made to yourself those many years ago. Your life is precious and valuable (sp?). Like you said, one day at a time, baby steps will get you where you need to be! I am happy to hear you have friends who are there for you, that will make this road much easier to travel.

  moving away

  by endlosung in

  2. experiences

  i am new here so hi to all.. i was raised in the cult, i call it a cult because it fits.. i am selling my home and moving away because they keep coming to my home to try to get me to say i do not agree with the society, by doing this they will have all they need to df me.. my wife wants me to just send a letter of disassociation, i see her point but i do not want them to be able to say what they want to so bad, [we had a bad person in our midst and we took action to get rid of him].

  i would rather be left in good standing and keep the thorn in their side.. my wife and my self have not gone to meetings for 10 years now.

  both our families are witnesses,and they do not have anything to do with us for the most part, her mother and father will talk to her if she comes around but it all has to be on their terms.

  Hello and welcome! Hope you like it in the south as much as we do! The weather is great and summer is already here (at least it seems that way!). I don't know where you are headed, but here in Georgia the pollen count is super high, so bring your allergy medication and some sandals and enjoy the warmth of the sun and the discussion board!

  hubby and i got on the topic last night.

  he was wondering what i was eating- a frozen jello pudding cup.

  i remember getting them at the assemblies, especially the hot summer district assemblies.

  I never saw the doughnuts! We must have arrived too late for them. I do remember working making the burritos as a teenager! It was so much fun to get out of sitting in the auditorium and mingle with other teenage friends from other halls while we got to talk while we worked!

  Juni: The pudding wasn't always frozen. But I guess the few times I did get them frozen while suffering in that AWFUL heat and humidity (no airconditioning for us!) it really made an impression! LOL

  Yea!

  You're showing him how unconditional your love is! Even though you may not be tied to him by blood, he now knows your heart is tied to him! He will no doubt be very touched by your love and concern! Have a great time!

  a few years ago, when i was an active witness, i went all the way from california to the east coast for vacation to visit my witness friend.

  her family took me to bethel (one of the many things we did)...seriously, what was the big deal i've been hearing about my whole life how ," oh bethel is so great!

  " when i finally saw it when i was 18, it was like walking through a building with a bunch of walls with pictures of paradise on the walls and watching random people do printing press stuff.

  1st trip to Bethel: Starry-eyed young girl. (Canada branch)

  2nd trip to Bethel: Starry-eyed 19 year old searching for "Mr. Spiritual" and hoping to find him amongst friends that were working (enslaved) at New York Bethel.

  3rd trip to Bethel: Engaged and on bus tour with fiance. Skipped the tours and went around city by ourselves! Lots of fun kissing in back of the taxi cab, walking the Brooklyn Bridge and going to the top of the Empire State Building! New York can be fun if you avoid the Bethel tours!!!!
