When I wrote my letter many years ago..no one even called on me. A while back my JW MIL told me they asked if it was OK to be with me and they told her..It is OK because she is not disfellowshipped!..DUH..well they went back and forth on that one..some said yes ..some said NO!..

Later hubby said something about how he heard a long time ago they had "disfellowshipped " me. I just looked at him. I thought ..here we go again!

I guess he forgot..his Mom just told us they did NOT .

But that's all behind me now!..No more rollar coaster..no more playing with my mind..Let the JW's play their games with someone else!..

Well, I did it...I called up the Society

well, i think it was psychologically healthy, perhaps.

you see, i never did dissassociate myself and was never disfellowshipped.

i never had the "officialness" of it all.

I think they would have to agree that "Everyone" that goes to the KH is probably doing something that they should be "shunned" for.

So they are being selective in their shunning..showing favoritism towards certain ones.

When I disassociated myself..I didn't want them to think I wanted to be a part of their organization anymore. So I told them. Now I shun them!

I have nothing to do with my JW MIL and sis and brother in law since hubby died. I want nothing to do with them or their hurtful religion. They helped destroy my hubby before he died. I have nothing but contempt for the JW's. Some say it is the religion..I say it is the people also. They are the ones doing and saying the spiteful and hurtful things..and using the bible in a twisted way to do it!...

They are being unusually cruel to people and NOT following the bible if they shun them when they are trying to become a JW again. (Prodical son) Unless they just don't like them for some reason...

And it doesn't sound like that brother was very caring. It sounded more like he was mocking you!..

Why would someone want to go back to something like that?..Other than they are holding your family hostage and that is the only way you can see them again?

If You Get Depressed, What Do You Tend To Do More?

by minimus in

eat, drink, take drugs, etc.

You've lost your spouse of 45 years....

Or lost a child as some here have..

The loneliness can eat you up!....

Losing a job..

Losing Money...

Losing all your possesions..

These things can eventually be fixed.

But the other two..can't ever be fixed!

No amount of "Candy".."Drugs"..or liquor can take the pain away.

You just have to learn to live with your loss!

Now...why again are you depressed?

Somebody look at you the wrong way?

Enjoy life now!..Go run in the grass..go swing on the swing..

Go for a car ride together..laugh like there is no tomorrow..

Play in the rain...

Because there just might not be a tomorrow for someone!..

What do you believe happens after death?

by JH in

jw
friends

.

do you believe that the dead are really dead, unconscious, without life, like the watchtower taught us, or do you think that they are still alive, but in another world or another form?.

do you believe that you had a previous life before this one?.

Golden Girl

I thought so too Mac...but Hubby never did!..Neither did my parents..and hubby was with me for hours before they picked him up!...I stayed with him and changed his clothes.

And laid next to him...and hugged him goodby!

But it wouldn't have mattered it he did!...I would have cleaned him up.

What you are saying is the same thing that the Hospice people teach.(Hospice is a agency that comes out and helps people that don't have long to live die at home) Before my hubby passed away in Feb. they gave me a folder full of information. One of them dealt with the dying process. It described the same detachment that you described. When hubby first started doing it he would cover his head with a sheet he had in his chair.He said it was more comfortable in there. He would even do it when company came over. He itched intensly and had to cover with only a sheet. It hurt me because I felt like he was shutting me out. But the booklet explained they have to detach themselves from this world. A lot of it was as you say. They want to leave their body.

Both my parents were the same way.

He became extremly aggitated before he went into a semi coma. I was afraid for a while that I might have to put him in a nursing home. But I didn't. He calmed down. Like it was his time to go. As much as it hurt me..I was glad he was out of pain. He had left me way before he actually died.

At first it hurt me that he was that way..but after reading their booklets...I felt so much closer to him. I understood what he was doing. Detaching himself. I let him be.

I don't have any idea what happens when we die. I have everyones opinions of what they believe..but I really don't know what I feel. I want to believe there is an afterlife..if only to see my love ones again. But my scientific mind says it isn't so...

I guess that is one of the pulls of religion. It gives people hope..real or not..

I don't know if we will ever find out. If there is an afterlife..we will find out. If not..we will never know it!..

Does your cat eat grass?

by JH in

jw
friends

my cat lives inside, and once in a while i bring her outside.

i bring her outside to walk and get exercise, but no she sits there and eats grass.

that's all she does is eat grass.. then she comes back inside and a few hours after she throws up the grass she ate.

When I was a young child...a long time ago...

My grandmother ..who was a nurse...used to wrap her black cat "Stinky" in a sheet..with only his head sticking out..and put drops of cod liver oil down his throat.

I asked her why she did this..she said "It keeps him from getting furballs!".

I thought that was a good idea..wrap him in a sheet (tightly) and layed him on the ironing board ..that way he couldn't scratch or bite her while she gave him "His Medicine!"...

I had a smart Grandma!....

She didn't let him outside at all. So he couldn't eat grass...
