Bill & Barb,
I would recommend that you both find the most biggest and toughest guy who does't like guys ganging up on one person. If not that then go in there packed. If need be, be prepared for battle.

Hello Browneyed girl and welcome!
My advice to you is to get him to be candid with you by discussing where this relationship is going and DO NOT let him give you evasive answers. I think that it is important for you to get beneath the surface of this guy. If you don't like it then get out.
I know that it would be heartbreaking for you but remember this; doing the right thing is always difficult and in the long run you WILL be better for it. Establish your own self-identity. Let NO ONE own you. YOU have the right to be Happy.
can i be disfellowedshipped for attending my family members wedding who is already disfellowedshipp.where is this in print?thanking you in advance for any help on this matter.
Damned if you do and damned if you don't. So go already.
some of you have seen my previous postings on this ongoing battle i am having for the heart and soul of my loved ones, a battle now focused on my 13-yearold.
here is part two.

Just writing the letter took great courage. I hope and pray that she does take what you said to heart. You put the ball in her court and now she's got to decide whether or not she wants to quit the game. I hope that you do follow-through if she continues the game.
Nothing is more precious than our children. You continue to let them know of your love and make really, really sure that they KNOW that this is NOT their fault They need to hear this OFTEN.

i'm tired as hell today.
yesterday, i typed up a flyer saying how jehovah's witnesses' protect pedophiles, and how many who have spoken out trying to protect children from wt policy have been excommunicated from the church.
i didn't want to make it too long, but i ended by saying "how would you feel if on saturday morning, a knock comes to the door and your 6 year old runs to open it.
Well done, Mary! It is high time that this info gets into the hands of the public.
something on the song thread that i posted, song by tu pac, got me to thinking about racisim.
why do people discriminate against people that have different color skin?
i understand it is a learned response, but my "elder" father is very racist... and this is how i was raised.. i don't get it.
Racists are not born, they are created. A child is not born a racist but in a number of homes they are indoctrinated into racism. If we are to change then first we must change from within and, hopefully; it will change in the home, in the neighborhood and throughout the world.
well yesterday i go the visit of two elders of my congregation, my wife told them that i was acting like an apostat as i talked two days before to two mormons, yes i told them that that they were in a cult like the jw's and they couldn't think for themselves like us, boy i got a real sermon from them, my wife told them that i was on anti-depresants and that they made me ack a bit crazy sometimes, well i know one thing, it wont be the last time i will here from them.
i know 3 years ago i got a talk by the elders but that time it was for buying lotto tickets, again my wife found a ticket in my pocket that i forgot when i put my cholths for washing.
i got the talk, but no sanctions again.
Maybe you should charge your wife with treason and have her exiled.
or - how are you handling it?.
my subject is how we deal with getting older - realizing that we are headed in just one direction, aging and eventually dying.
for most of us born after wwii, raised as jw's, we did not give a thought to getting older.
I just turned 50 a couple of months ago and I am determined to face the enivitable with clarity of mind.

After reading your article I feel nothing but shame that I took part in propogating this drivel. I offer what we call in Buddhism a supreme apology to those that I preached to all those years ago. I have a new chance to refute such teachings as inferior. Thank you so very much for this article.
Hello Boys and Girls!
I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!!
