i told my dad and mum that i didnt want to go back, that i didnt agree with the way i was treated, and everyother person ever to be on the wrong side of the fence.

he tells me i am bitter,and i should only think about nice things, and not dwell on the negative.

thanks daystar,, yes it is very hard when you know someone you love is displeased with you and there is nothing you can do about making them feel better about it.

i will take your advise because i think it is valid in saying he will probably not change, and if i help him to embrace what he believes it will keep him strong. After reading your post i realise i dont want to be the same as him and try to tell him his beliefs are wrong in any way, like he does to me,, so for his sake i will just let him be and try not upset him, or myself over it. i think i will tell him, everyone has to do things and progress in life in their own way,and thats just what i am doing,, even though i dont go to meetings i still do my best in sorting out lifes journey.. it sux though, because i feel free of them now, and happy with my life, but when i see him its like i constantly have to answer to his questions, and its a battle i dont want to fight.

i said i didnt like hearing about armogedon ,and seeing all the evil pictures,,that it makes me paranoid,and scared in storms ,and will cause me to become a scitzo one day. i dont want to be scared into doing the right thing.. i want to enjoy my life, and appriciate things.

Then ..he said to me ,, but most of the meeting s are happy, you just get a negative one here and there,,, and that only comes from thefaithfull and discreet slave because they are old funny duddies. ( he was just trying to be relaxed about it to palm off the negativity) j so i said, i thought they are inspired by jehovah.. he said ,,they are ,but they put their slant on it ,so we can all understand it. i said,,so they twist it into what they want to say...

then he got all funny and said, no,they dont twist it ,,, stop talking like that!!!! you are so bitter,,when are you going to stop rubbishing them, they are my brothers u know!!

he said he is so worried about me ,and he will prolly say this till his dying day,, i really dont want to dissapoint him, i love him dearly and want to please him,but i just cant pretend i agree with him,, its really bugging me ,, he is so disapointed in myself and my other brothers and sister are not there with him,but he refuses to actually listen when we have a conversation.

??????? do i have to just keep enduring this pointless battle with him ,, hes 84,and very healthy, i dont want to rock the boat and shake up his life,by starting to explain fully my reasons,but he just keeps on naaaaaging sooooo much!!! its painful,,,

Was I shunned?

by AudeSapere in

did she really just shun me??.

after work today, i went to a restaurant to pick up some dinner.

as i walked to the counter i passed a woman who i knew along time ago.

pippy

i think its weird , because they dont know who to shun anymore,, how do they know if you have come back and they can talk to you now, or if you are still shunned.

i was reinstated last july and everyone i see still looks at me blankly and if i talk to them , they look very VERY uncomfortable. which i find amusing in a strang way. Lots of brotherl love coming my way!!!

pyramid in knowledge book

by pippy in

hi, i was up late the other night and read something about a page in the knowledge book that has a picture,when folded that displays a pyramid with a skull above it.

i dont have the book but would really like to see the pic, does anyone have a copy they can post here for me to view.

cheers pippy

pippy

thanks lady libery.. found it, it does seem abit far fetched. but as for some other shots , im not so sure,,

a 96 yr old lady my jw mum knows , who is also a witness put together a scrap book of watchtower and awake pictures. mum showed my 6 yr old son and I was there at the time. it started of with pretty pictures of animals, and mountains ect, and i thought it was nice,, but then it started to show all the bad things ppl do , like getting drunk( oh no), mugged, dealing in the occult ect.. and then all the arrmogedon pics. by this time i was a ball of eneergy just waiting to explode, it was making me feel so gross... then wwere these shots of jws going door knocking and then living happily ever after.... it made me so sick,, and i dont usually fight with my mum, but i told her to never ever show my son something like that again,, he doesnt need the mental scarring i had endured for so long, and it looked so fake, but at the same time evil,, she had so many pics of bad ppl and the big A that i could practically feel the demons in the pics.....gross

Yes, What You Really Wear Does Matter !

by The wanderer in

jw

yes, your clothing really does matterbeing one of jehovah's witnesses always made.

the individual conscious of the clothes you were .

the men had to wear suits and the women.

pippy

i was counciled when i was about 13 for wearing a dress ,, it was kneee length but when i sat down it would strech across my knees,,, it was prolly the only dress i liked and i wore it often. mum bought it for me in hawaii and i felt confident in it. in the bookstudy this sleezy 30 yr old guy used to stare between my legs and i could see him doing it , wishing he was in there..!!! someone must have noticed cause the elders told me it was not appropriate and could stumble the brothers. Then my mum made me wear really long granny clothes and i felt like a complete dag,, and begun my identity crisis..

my husband, the black pearl, had a interesting conversation with his mother today.

she was trying to be all kiss butt nice, for today that is, to tell him about the new tract that is coming out in october.

apparently they don't have it yet.

pippy

just to add,, yes in australia they have the tract already,and im pretty sure it has a lightening bolt on the front...i just cant remember exactly as i looked away pretty quick at the time,, but i told my sister about it and said i think there is a scary lightening bolt on it,,its blue ...
