When and should I tell my family I am pregnant?
by Free yet lonely inleft three years ago - did the fade away and managed to avoid getting dissed.
have been living with my boyfriend for a year and a half and am 9 wks pregnant, we are both very happy about it.
i have been having a really hard time with the hormones and the morning sickness - cannot eat anything except crackers as it comes back up immediately and the slight smell of anything unsavoury sets me off.

My Grandmother (Dedicated to Mouthy)
by palmtree67 inmy grandmother is 87. got the truth "on the farm" and her and my grandfather used to have meetings in their home, baptise people in their bathtub.
when she first heard that you could go door-to-door, she was in her glory.
she has always loved the service.

I was in an abusive marriage. These elders were so incredibly loving that I really believed even in there mistakes they were directed by God. Mistakes that could have and did cause me physical harm by my ex. The PO and I became very close friends. We still talk to this day although he is no longer a PO because his daughter got d'fed. He had tears in his eyes when he found out what went on with my ex and what a certain elder knew. I told him that I trusted this elder. I even trusted his mistakes were directed by God. I felt that sometimes what we see as mistakes we actually get a better outcome. I still love that elder very dearly and will always keep him very close to my heart. Eventually this elder stepped down. He said his heart could no longer handle being an elder in dealing with the problems.
What did this elder do that was so wonderful in my eyes? He really was loving. He and his wife held and embraced me when I was going through terrible things. They were my best friends. They just held me when I needed to be held. They loved me when I needed somebody to love me unconditionally.
They begged me to get a restraining order even though I wouldn't. I wouldn't bring reproach upon Jehovah's organization. I told them that. They didn't see eye to eye with me on that. He begged me to run away. Go live with my parents that lived in another state. I still would not. He was really afraid for me. I wouldn't leave without scriptural grounds for divorce. Him and his wife would drive around with me trying to help me get my proof. He couldn't handle my "conscience matter" decision. He is no longer an elder.
I will never forget the love they showed me. It was a real love. I still believe I could call him to this day and tell him I'm an apostate and he would still love me.
You ever have really good JW experiences?

left in lurch
by ssn587 inrecently talked with a brother who had the following experience.. he and wife had been on a trip out of town, and they started rehashing old wrongs, he had mentioned that she wasn't very nice to him lately in fact the last several years.
she wanted to know why he had felt that way.
when he told me that right then and there i mentioned that they or at least he shouldn't have brought up old or current wrongs.

I agree with Robdar. I don't know what else to say cause I wasn't there. What about counseling. The tit for tat thing never works. Talking it out with a trained professional may help.
