I get told all the time that I'm going to hell for not believing in hell....
babygirl....
i went to my gp today.
i go there quite often since he's also my parent's doctor and i bring them to all their appointments.. i take my dad there at least once a month for blood work since he is on blood thinners, so i'm very familiar with the lady who draws blood.. today i had to have blood drawn myself, and the lady inquired about my parents.
she asked if they had had a nice christmas.

that makes us like/love them so?.
is it how good they smell or how unpretentious they are?.
my granddaughter - age 9 - gave me a big smile and hug before i walked out of the door this am.. it felt good then and i can still feel the effects.. children are precious and so wonderful!.
They/we are selfish, needy and demanding.
Yet, also lovable & kissable. Love to snuggle with my son. Also love to spoil him.

my wife has been softening up this past year.
she is missing more meetings for very feeble excuses.. i think that she is a little envious on meeting nights as she rushes around the house trying to get.
ready for the meeting, to hear the same things she has heard for the past 20 years, and i am in front.
Well at least you have her thinking....
Best of luck to you.

my super power is that i can size people up rather quickly.
i also am the one even people i hardly know come to for advice because i can usually figure out exactly what to do in any difficult situation.. .
i like my super power.
When I go to a store, any store, I've got the power to make at least two or three other people trying to see or find the same exact item I'm looking for....even if the isle or area is absolutely empty, as soon as I enter, so does everyone else..
just need to vent.... over the weekend, i let my 9yr old son go visit his dad and then he had to be back home to spend x-mas eve & x-mas day with me.
so anyway...i call to talk to my son on his cell and he tells me he is at a friend's house playing with his two cousins.
now the two cousins are my sister's kids and they live in atlanta.
Having worked with kids for years, I know that it's harmful to let them hang out with folks that shun a parent. I'd get a court injunction
I don't need to do that. I've got primary custody of my son. I allow him to visit my parents and see other family members when and if he wants to. I'm not going to tell him he cannot see his grandparents or his cousins, because that would not be fair to him. The whole divorce situation has been hard enough on him without me adding to his stress over who he can and cannot see. If I did this, I wouldn't be any better than any of them. I let him pretty much call the shots on visisting his extended family.

So I say "oh, I didn't know they were up here" and my son says yeah and auntie ___ (my older sis) is too. (she also lives in Atlanta) I ask where his dad is, thinking maybe his dad dropped him off with my sisters and would come back, but no....his dad stayed and hung out with MY sisters and MY brother-in-laws all flipping weekend while I didn't even know they were in town and they haven't bothered to call me in forever!! It's fine they don't want to see me or talk to me, but add insult to injury and hang out with my ex, who was a horrible husband to me!!!
My husand is going to meet my mom & dad this morning to let my son spend a few days with them. My ex called my son last night and said that he was planning on coming by my parents to spend time with him. Oh hell no...I'm about to call mom now and lay my foot down that they need to show me some respect and not allow him to have an open invitation to come over. Even if he is JW and in so called "good standing" I don't give a shit...they are my parents and need to show some respect as to my feelings! Do you think his parents or family would let me hang out with them? Wouldn't want to, but NO WOULDN'T HAPPEN...
Just don't get it......
just a warning to all you jw's.
i was jw for 50 years and am now an apostate.
i left the orgaization becasue of all the contradictions.
I e-mailed it to my mom & dad (who is the PO of his cong.). When I first mentioned it they didn't believe it was real, but after e-mailing it, they then just dismissed it as a pass in order to use the library. It's hard to break that loyalty to the society!!!
babygirl...
iam now as what was announced at a recent meeting that iam "no longer a jehovah's witness" all of my family and friends are witnesses so this will ailenate me from all of my friends and family.
but i feel like i don't want to go back.
i really hate the feeling of isolation and shamefulness while iam sitting in the meeting, what's the point of it all.
Welcome LadyCCC....
I was df'd back in '01. It was very hard at first. Only me and one of my sisters are df'd and all of our other family are JW's, so we have been cutoff from everyone. My parents still have limited contact with me, but mainly in order to see my son. At first you go through all kinds of mixed emotions. From feeling sad & hurt, to angry & pissed off. As time goes on, it does get easier. At first I felt like they were in control and I was at their mercy to give me love and support as my family, but now after all this time, I feel that I am actually in control of my own happiness. I don't let it bother me that they choose to cut me off. They still bring up comments that I'm the one that has done this, but now I just reverse and say, no you are the ones that choose to cut me off and listen to the society. I'm still right here if you choose to have a relationship with me.
I hope you find the encouragement you need on this board and you are able to take control of your own life & happiness...
