If it makes you happy and makes you smile, go for it! Life is too short to worry about what other people think, say or do!

Show The Love....
by saywhat29 inokay i think everybody here understands anger, sadness, and fear, but you know.... this is going to be the strangest thread ever, might be even out of place but.... what are some of the things you miss and/or love about your family and friends, yes the jws ones.
because only people who you love like hell can put a deep cut into your chest like that.
and no i don't think this is a jw apologist kind of thread, at least i don't think so because acknowledging the horrible stuff people do to you (us) doesn't mean that we have to forget about all the positive things and good qualities of a person.. like my mom for instance.

Saywhat,
I'm sorry for taking your thread to a level that wasn't intended. I just don't have any warm or fuzzy JW memories. I should have just not posted a reply!
You have a PM

How many of you had book studies held in your home?
by FreedomFrog inmy ex and i did for several years in our new home.
i was excited at first because that meant we were "good" dubs.
after about 6 months someone stuck their finger in our candle we had burning in the bathroom and splashed wax all over our new bathroom wall.

Growing up we had the BS at our house. I hated putting out and then taking down the damn chairs! No one else would help. One lady would always use the bathroom and would never flush the toilet. My brother 2 years older than me, put a note above the toilet paper roll that said "please flush and wash your hands", dad was not happy!

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((r))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I've been out 24 almost 25 years and I'm still pissed that my parents forced this on me. I had not choice, no say and the only way out was to leave at 18 with a newborn child. My mother has always treated me poorly, and even after seeing what I've done with my life, what kind of person I turned out to be she still 42 years later can only call me a child of the devil, soon to die at the BIG A, murderer because of me my children will die......yeah i'm pissed!
I'm pissed because I was denied the love of a mother that I should have had, my father was more concerned with the elders and their meetings to know what was going on at home, he was so consumed with having the perfect little jdub kids that he allowed the JW organization to rule over us..........still pissed

There is nothing positive I can say about the Jdubs, their organization or my family that are jdubs. My mother obviously disliked me very much, my dad just went along with mom to keep her quiet, the organization and their silly rules and regulations, elder meetings about stupid crap, the way they expected me an 8 year old girl to treat her big brother (s), they tried to teach me to hate anyone that wasn't JW and last but not least my dear mother succeded in taking away my first born and turning him against me not to mention the emotional and psych problems he has now.......Nothing good about them in my eyes!
But, I overcame all of their BS - left their crazy organization and my crazy family and now I have raised my children all except my first born to be well adjusted, respectfull, independent young men who truely love their parents and each other. They know how to respect others for their differences and accept those who are different. They love their extended family no matter what. And most of all I ensured that they would never, ever be exposed to the JW religion, I've made sure they know all they need to know to stay away from that cult and keep anyone they love away from it.

Have you ever forgotten your baby was in the car?
by changeling inwhat's up with this wave of people forgetting their babies are in the car?
i'm a certifiable dingbat but i never forgot my kids were in the car.
if i ever did, i can't see it happening for more than a few minutes and then running back to the car to get them.

Nope, never left any of my 3 kids in the car. Not even to run into the store. I can't imagine how you could forget a child is in the car and go into work for 8 hours!
There was a story here about 4 years ago, some guy that worked in a church, his child went to the day care there. He got out of the car, went into work and the child died! It was in the middle of August!!! When someone from the day care asked if the child was sick he then remembered but it was too late.
I once put my 17 year old (oldest son) out of my car and made him walk home because he was being disrespectfull to me! He deserved it.

MY DAD MIGHT DIE DUE TO THE 'NO BLOOD' DOCTRINE
by Mary ini don't have much time to post as i'm headed back to the hospital, but my father collapsed this morning and had to be rushed to the hospital.
in a nutshell: he needs a blood transfusion as his hemoglobin is dropping (bleeding internally), but thanks to this fucking cult, that's not an option...........he'll accept the fractions but those bastards from the blood liaison committee have already shown up to ensure he doesn't cave............... for those of you who still believe, i'm asking you to say a prayer for my dad........and if anyone from crooklyn is reading this: you better hope my father doesn't die due to your fucked up rules, .

Mary,
I'm happy to hear your dad is doing better. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts and I'm still sending good vibes your way.
Don't put too much thought into the JW's (elders) and their lack of love, we know what it's all about anyway. The important thing is that you are there and he is gett'n better!
