Well you know, I just couldn't see myself slapping her around with a few short, cut-to-the-bone replies. That way, she doesn't have to feel like I'm attacking her. I'm just attacking her dumb religion and fake God. Of course, she probably won't see it that way, and will be thoroughly offended. If so, at least I will be able to say that I gave my immature, spoiled parents a fair chance at keeping a decent relationship.

If she strikes back to hurt me on a personal level (which she is fond of doing sometimes), I will have to defend myself. I can excuse her "la la land" approach to my serious email, but name-calling and such will not be toloerated and I will give her a time-out. Oh yeah, and my phone will be off. I told her no visits, no phones calls.

So, bomb #2 has been dropped. Let's see where it lands this time!!

I replied. I didn't say anything mean to her about her or my father, but I basically had to drive it in that I don't believe the Bible is God's word and that the God of the OT is an ass.

So, I can paste it in here for your curiousity. I really had to try to convince her that there is no chance in hell she could talk me into "loving Jehovah" again and believing that the Bible was miraculously untampered-with. Just not gonna happen.

I wanted to say it in the least detailed way the first go round. That was because I wanted to avoid hurting her feelings (yes, her feelings are hurt by others' opinions and beliefs). Now that she is refusing to believe me, I felt like I had to explain the reasons why I don't believe what she believes anymore.

Oh by the way,

Let them throw a JC party for all I care. They'd only be doing me a favor. I wish I could go back to the wonderful DFed days of being ignored in town.

I wouldn't attend it though. It's not worth my time. They can just have a meeting amongst themselves and do what they want with it. In their minds, that is a big deal and it is important. I think it is such a dumb waste of time. I would love to show them up on a JC. That will show them how important their "meetings" are to me. I'm not the little girl who cried and begged to be liked by them, as I once was. I am a bitch now...sorry. I entertain thoughts of driving by and throwing flaming bags of dog crap at the elders while they are walking across the parking lot.

Ya'll have no idea how annoyed I would be if this is the SECOND time my mom and dad turn me in (the first was when I was 18 and I got DFed). But of course, I am expecting this to happen again. Only this time, I won't show up and mommy and daddy won't be able to make me.

I would be annoyed, but it would give me so much satisfaction at the thought that the elders don't like to be ignored, and that's what they'll get :)

I did say that I was sorry, and that I don't want to hurt them. I even offered to give them the time that they need to deal with this new info. They didn't really read my big email.

Not long ago, before all this got started, my mom emailed me and said, "no matter what you say, you can never convince me that you don't believe this is the truth". So basically, I should have known right there that I was screwed and wouldn't be taken seriously.

I don't want to get ugly with her, but she does need to read my email again because she let it fly over her head completely. Coming to knock on my door is not a nice gesture. It is an invasion. I'm the one who is less than half their age. They should be the ones with the tact to know not to bombard me. The day I get confronted face to face is the day I will start spitting fire. I am married, living in my own house, minding my own business, and I am telling them the nice reasons I do not believe the WTS, and I am basically being told that they won't take no for an answer. They can only push so far, ya know?

I am also sick of being told by them that "there is no way you are happy, you need pills", "you sound like your apostate aunt", "you need to have more friends than just your husband (meaning, JWs)" No matter how much I tell them, "I am happier than ever", "I don't even know my aunt", and "I like my social situation. My man and I are best friends and neither of us have other friends that we'd rather be with. We stick together, we read each other's thoughts, we are even closer now than when we got married almost 3 years ago", they never believe me.

They suck.

OMG people! I was sitting here, typing to you all....... when suddenly there was a knock at the door!

*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM*

I crouch to the floor like a soldier in Vietnam, hoping that no one is peering through the windows at me, so maybe I can get out of answering the door.

I run, still crouching, across my house to the bathroom and immediately start running a bath. I turn on the vent, look around for my radio, was disappointed that I forgot to return it to this room from the other room, and worked up the nerve to peer through the curtains to see who it was.

It was my sisters and cousins, on the stealth-bomber (golf cart - silent but deadly war machine). My elder uncle and my father were walking around the pond behind my house, about an acre away. Probably talking about me. These people aren't best friends, and never hang out.

I was surrounded by JWs, circling like sharks.

While in the tub, vent and water blaring loudly...I pondered a few things. One of which is this: I write an email to incriminate myself as a non-believer and an apostate to get them off of my back, and now I am furious because they are attempting an interception!!! The exact opposite has happened. I just wanted a little peace and I have them trying to stop me from committing "spiritual suicide".

The other thing I was thinking of was whether answering the door would be such a bad idea. I mean, if I would take a few shots of tequila, get naked (or rather, remain naked after leaving the tub), scratch 666 across my chest with a nail file - preferably with each outer 6 to circle each breast with the center 6 being a little lower than the other 2, throw on an offensive Halloween mask that I bought once as a gag but ended up offending my sensitive JW cousins, lighting a cigar to hold in my hand, blaring debasing music, and swinging the door open with a warm welcome, it would be a scream! But then, they would assume that I am insane and would try to "help" me, rather than DF me.

I know they won't come for me tomorrow, so my options are either to call, write, or ignore. I've been ignoring for long enough now, and it's time to bring out the big guns.

This is what I might do. I will, of course, show you all first to get an outside perspective as to whether or not it will do any good:

I spent SO MUCH TIME AND THOUGHT on that email to her. I mean, I really worked too hard and built up too much courage to write it. For it to just be disregarded so blatantly??????

What I should do is paste that same exact email into a reply to her. Then, I need to title the email "please reread". Then, I should go through it, find the pertinent points, highlight them, and hit send again.

What do you think?

lol Frannie and Jgnat!

I was just rereading the whole thing, all over again. I mean, how the hell did she see that I thought Jehovah was nice? Throughout my whole letter, I said "IF he is such a nice God, WHY does he do this or that?" They weren't honest questions! They were downright insults to the contradicting details in the Bible, to their God, and to their org. Nothing, not one single thing was said in a manner to give her the idea that I am just an honest kid looking for answers.

I know what she's doing. She doesn't know the JW version of the origins of the Bible (which I am only guessing they have their own version, but Emperor Constantine was a living person and I'm sure it was a very good political move to create the single Bible the way he did). SO, she's doing research and calling people to find out the elders' view of the origins to better explain that to me. She will also try to find explainations and "proof" to convince me of the flood, creationism, and to debunk evolution.

What should I reply with? "Mom, any info you will look up to give me will also be written by an imperfect man...so don't bother. I am SO POSITIVE that I am correct, that I am literally willing to bet my life on it.....literally"

Oh, in reply to Junction-Guy... I seriously doubt that they will be trying to abduct me tomorrow, now that I've sent the letter. But to be safe, I will be in a theater watching a movie at noon. We will not be here! LOL

I almost think that sending her the email of my above post with all my smart-ass comments included would get my point across. But then I'd be crossing the line of meanness. I'm not sure how mean I will have to get

What is your town or area's claim to fame?

by free2beme in

jw
friends

every where you live, the local area has something about it that is either famous for something good or something bad.

as an example, you go to one town and it may have the historial site of a famous war battle.

you go to another an it might be the place something was invented, or the birthplace of someone famous.

For such a small, ugly part of the country, my town and surrounding parishes have been famous for quite a few things.

My town is famous for Tobasco Sauce. I live off of Avery Island Rd, which I think is on the bottle. The sauce is gross, and most of us here don't even like it. And Konrico (spell check) rice is also famous (why? I have no clue).

Our last 2 governors were born here.

Some of the antebellum homes here have been used for movies. We have the "Shadows on the Teche" (massive plantation home), and another one that I can't remember which is famous for its gardens. I don't know if any of the others are famous for anything.

My husband's town is barely a town at all, only one gas station, 30 minutes away, and has been the set of MANY big movies.

The town between mine and my husband's is where Teddy Roosevelt coined the term "teddy bear", on a hunting trip.

Jack Nicolson rode a motorcycle down Main St. in a movie scene, forgot the name.

We caught the eye of hurricane Andrew, Rita, and another one that I can't remember. Our town was mentioned on national news because of these storms, lmao.

In a parish, not too far from here, where my parents go for hunting, there is the famous Myrtle Plantation, which is supposed to be the single most haunted plantation in the US. I've been in it, nothing happened. We were totally ripped off!

I guess people think the moss on the trees is beautiful, so they like it in movies. Moss is just a nice word for FUNGUS. I need to move to a clean place.
