Then, the icing on the cake was when one JW had this huge party that I wasn't invited to but evidently everybody else including all of my siblings who live really close were invited to. I wouldn't have gone anyways, but it was very annoying that every post was about it.

I just hid there posts from my wall so they wouldn't annoy me.

Ok, rant over...

several here have shown interest in marion dunlap, even asked about some stories.

(i had the great privilige of knowing marion from around 1963 all the way up to his death a few years back).

he was the younger brother of ed dunlap from the ray franz book, for those who did not know.. i did a few, but then got bogged down dredging up the various memories.

Great stories! Thanks for sharing!

Don't want to celebrate holidays even with my daughter...

i feel like its so much work, stressful, commercialized and since i never formed the habit of it i hate the idea of celebrating them.

i wouldn't mind buying presents for my daughter on christmas and maybe doing a treasure hunt for halloween (i don't want her taking candy from even my neighbors) and things like that so she doesn't feel left out or like she's missing something.

just something easy and informal...

Thnxs. I guess I was just wanted to hear that it was ok and that I'm not going to disappoint her...

I really just don't want to. I feel like its so much work, stressful, commercialized and since I never formed the habit of it I hate the idea of celebrating them.

Just something easy and informal... Idk, what are your feelings on it?

Circuit Assembly This Past Weekend "Safeguard Your Spirituality" -Everyone Please Enter-

so we had our circuit assembly this past weekend, and it was the first one in my life that i told my wife i would not be attending.

we had a brief conversation on why, and she said well just go to this last one with me, and then when we can discuss what we learn and compare it to why you've been expressing your "new" feelings towards the wts.. i love my wife, and as much as i thought i was gonna hate it i decided to go.

now that i no longer want to be a jehovah's witness it really didnt bother me that nobody hardly talked to me despite me living in this same area for 4 1/2 years, everybody views me as spiritually weak because i dont go out in service, rarely attend meetings, dont comment, lesson is never underlined, so the "friends" never interact with me anyway and i'm use to it, actually that's the way i prefer it.

I know babygirl. Doesn't make sense. If they are against social websites, why are they all on fb? You think that's gonna be specifically banned soon?

omg, she friggin talks you into going, then proceeds to get mad at you when you didn't even want to go there to begin with. I mean really, if she's gonna be pissy with you no matter what you do you shoulda just stayed home to begin with...

if you have a profile on a social network YOU ARE BAD ASSOCIATION.

They actually said that??? You know how many JWs are on facebook? What was there logic for not being able to go on a social network?
