  I never sat with my folks and always sat with one of my friends. We use to write notes to each other while pretending to take notes of the talk. When I had my first child I use to take him outside to look at the flowers and run around a bit. There were a few of us doing this so I would chat to the other moms. An elder once came to tell us to keep our kids quiet cause they could be heard inside the hall. We were so busy chatting we didn't realise our kids were playing so loudly.

  We stopped going to meetings when my son was about 5 years old. He told me during the week that all he really remembers from going to the meetings is that I would pack him a sandwich and some sweets (our meeting was at lunch time on a Sunday). He was also the only child that was allowed to sit on a blanket on the floor and eat and play with some toys. All the other dub kids had to sit still and listen.

  i'm not a big fan of surgery.

  i always exhaust all non-surgical options before doing it.

  i know enough about medicine to know that surgery is effectively a controlled injury... and that makes me nervous.

  Had the same op about 2 years ago. It was the best thing I could have done. Unless you cannot beathe you have no idea what a pain it is to struggle for air. I had to learn how to breathe through my nose after the op cause I was so used to breathing through my mouth. Recovery was not so bad if I had to I would do it again. All the best with your op. Enjoy the break from work and take it easy.

  "The Internet - The Watchtower's Worst Nightmare"

  by Gayle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is the title of the 18th chapter in don cameron's new book,"captives of a concept" i just got.

  the wts would want us to move on, shut up, be powerless as they control its people to not listen to us.

  well, 'radio free europe' worked with time against the ussr (and actually ussr destroyed itself as it only drastically hurt their own people).

  Thank you for this post.

  Like most people here I have my good days and my bad days. On good days I think man life is great I'm so happy that I'm no longer part of that cult and have a normal life. On bad days I have an old JW friend shun me or my mom wants to tell me about the meetings and I get angry and sad that this cult is stopping me from having a normal relationship with my family.

  For those of you who are over it good for you!

  I just completely lost it with my father!!!

  my mums mum is very sick, she has been in hospital the last month with really bad infection, they have tried every time of antibiotics to get rid of it.

  this last week she has refused to eat and drink, she told my mum she was tired of all of this, and basically said her goodbyes the other night.. we went in on saturday to see her, my mum was there, and even tho it was a little strained we managed to talk for a few hours it was nice to see her.. i got a phone call off my dad's mum today saying that my nan was deteriorating, so i msg my mum to see if this was true, it wasnt, my nan likes to dramatise things, my mum promised me she would keep me updated.

  i received a phone call about an hour ago from my nan (dads mum) saying that the infection has cleared up and that she is improving and eating and drinking.

  (((((((((((Es)))))))))))))) Sorry you were treated so badly. Try not to get too worked up it's not good for the little one on the way. They are not worth the stress.
