i mean, i know i'm bitter.. normally these days quite strong, not feeling so much so much the last few days though.. what i'd give to do the things i was used to.
going doing the weekly shop with my mum, her popping round for a brew in the morning.. a hug from her, just to to know from the way she communicated with me, that she loved me.
i miss her so much.. and what if i'm wrong?.

I hear what you are saying and know what you mean.
This too will pass!
Boo
by that, of course, i mean to say : april fools!
Me too...NOT!!!
yesterday was sunny and i felt strong.
i felt up to the challenge, so i called mom.
tomorrow is one year since nan died, so we're bound to have contact.
it is truly amazing the varied emotions i've felt since my jw daughter has been talking to me after not talking to me for 9 months .
" i replied, " i haven't said anything about the witnesses today .
she had told me an elder from my area had given a talk in her congregation 30 miles away , and she told him i have issues with the child abuse scandal.
Mr Flipper... It is ironic - you are a Dad, dealing with a daughter stuck in this cult, I am a daughter, dealing with parents stuck in the cult. I said in a thread I started recently that I sometimes wish I could be DF'd or DA'd just so that things would be easier. I too wish I could be your adopted daughter, as spanteach said! Good Luck Flipper!
hi just to let everyone know my sister becky had a baby girl this morning, via c-section, thankfully no blood transfusion needed, so no difficult choice there altho i did say if she needed it, she better bloody well have it, its more of a sin to leave your children motherless than submit to a law which may or may not be inspired of god.. i dunno name maybe elizabeth, who knows, she has been known to change her mind!!!.
mother and baby doing well..
Congrats to Becky!!!
they brag about the fact that they the don' t baptize their babies because "how can a baby 'know' what religion it wants to believe in the rest of it's life!".
but a 14 year old does?.....they put so much presure on their children to get dunked, that if your not baptize by 18 years old there is something really "wrong" with you.. so the poor kid does it, just to get everyone off their backs.
legally a minor can't be held to a contract if they are under 18 years old and why?
I was only 14. I felt a fair amount of peer pressure to get baptised. Mom now says to me that clearly my heart was never in it. She is right!
i wondered if anyone, after starting to post here after so long being worried about doing, now just does it because they acn and hasn't stopped to ask why the still feel the need or even pleasure.. so why do you come here?.
do you know?.
it's not easy to completely explain what it is substiruting for imo!.
Unless you have been there, you will never get it... I figure that this is the one place I can come to where folk might understand what goes on in my head...
and there is nothing good on TV!
my mom and dad live about 40 minutes drive away.
i am avoiding seeing them and land up making silly excuses not to drive over there, even on a long weekend like this one, just because i do not feel like dealing with them - dreading dealing with the kids mentioning easter eggs, or a guilt trip about the memorial.
avoiding dealing with the fact that mom is hurt because of what i told her.
You know - there is just no happy solution to this dilemma and I think that is what gets to me!
I love my parents and I am so torn between wanting them in my life and wanting to be there for them in their old age (my parents are both nearing 70) and just wanting to be at peace in my own life with my own decisions.
I truly feel for those being shunned so I should probably not wish it upon myself, but it seems that it may be the inevitable conclusion.

Avoiding dealing with the fact that Mom is hurt because of what I told her. Things between us are so strained and I just dont want to have to try and make small talk while we both skirt around the bigger issue being her issues with my "apostacy". Maybe things would be easier if they just shunned me?
Uggh!
