  No natural affection

  by Renegade in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i find it strange that the witnesses often rant about natural affection.

  but the thing is, when people are disfellowshipped, in most cases the persons family cut off any contact with them, they stray to the other side of the road when they see them etc.

  now, this must mean that a witness family only loves you for your behaviour not for who you are.

  hardest conversation of my life

  by metaspy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  moments ago, i talked to my mom.. i told her that i was taking some time off from going to meetings and service.. the conversation went down hill from there.. as her usual she just dismissed my reasons as if they meant nothing.. i pointed to the child molestations as my main reason for leaving.. "you are being over-sensitive", "jehovah takes care of things in his own time", "rely on jehovah".

  those were the catch phrases of the conversation.. a new one was: "what have you been reading?".

  i have a hard time standing up to my mother.

  Choosing and Setting Up a Christmas Tree

  ok, now it's getting closer to decision time.

  now is the time for anyone that hasn't already decided on what kind of tree, and how to decorate it, to do so.. natural trees are popular.

  they offer real scents, and they do not have to be stored.

  we've had a bit too much of the above.

  temperature has been in the triple digits for ten days in a row.

  everybody is lethargic and irritable.

  The name Jehovah

  by sweetums in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was wondering how many of you think that the name jehovah is actually correct?

  to be honest with you, everytime i hear it i cringe.

  i had that name shoved down my throat for the past 30 years by my witness mother-in-law.

  My Grandpa Died Sunday

  by noni1974 in

  my grandpa died sunday afternoon.i was there in the room with him.i had to watch as he struggled to take his last breaths.it was horrific to watch.this was the second time i have watched someone in my family die.he died of prostate cancer.it was a long and painful death.i'm glad he's not in pain anymore.. at the moment i'm feeling a little emotional and upset about what i saw and all of the jw bs i had to listen too.i'm also dreading the jw memorial which is next weekend.i am planning on going.i'm da ed so i don't expect anyone to come up and talk to me or express there sorrow to me.the thing is i feel like i should be comferted and people should tell me they are sorry i lost my grandfather.i lost someone who i had alot of respect for all of my life regaurdless of how close we were after i da ed.i think i'm going to be excluded at the dinner after.they are planning a reception type thing for after the service.

  i'm glad i did get the chance to see him and talk to him before he got really sick.i had the chance to go to dinner with him and my parents and a couple of my aunts a few months ago.when he was leaveing he asked me pointedly for a hug.he said he was collecting them.i hugged him and said i loved him.that was the last time i saw him till i went to my aunts house where he was staying just before he went into hospice.the next time i saw him was 3 weeks ago when he entered hospice and wasn't expected to live the night out.then i saw him sunday i arrived about 20 to 30 minutes before he took his last breath.he was creamated this week and will be buried with my other family in our family plots soon.. anyway i'm just in need of some kind words of support at the moment.i though that jwd would give that to me even though i don't post here that much.it really sucks to feel alone at times like this..
