My parents are divorced (dad JW, mom is not). Both are remarried. Myself and my siblings (non-JW, but raised JW). Anyhoo I went to Vegas to get married, I couldn't handle the stress of it all. LOL When I called dad to tell him we were getting married, he basically told me "I won't walk you down the aisle and we probably won't come". OK - stress to the max. Divorced family means 2 sides in the same room. Can't handle it. Vegas here we come. LOL

My baby brother is getting married this year. He didn't want to invite my dad or his wife at all. But then had to be respectful to my dad's sisters and their families (who are non JW and we are very close with them). My advice to him was - to not invite, makes you look like the jerk. TO invite and they decline, makes them look like the jerks. If they come and cause problems - again they look like the idiots. although I am confident that if they DO come, my dad would put on the proper behavior in front of his big sister and his neices and nephews (they all think dad can do no wrong).

I wouldn't give it to them in person. I would send it in the mail and let them RSVP like any other guest will do.

If they accept and come, have people on the look out for problem behavior and then simply ask them to leave if there is a problem (that is good advice given). If they accept and everything goes smooth - then great! If they decline to accept the invitatation to your wedding - then so be it.

SEX, LIES, and TEXT MESSAGES

by nomoreguilt in

in detroit yesterday, the story broke that the mayor, kwame kilratick, the hip-hop king himself, was under investigation for his alleged purgery in a wrongful discharge lawsuit.

it seems that he fired 2 police officers because of their diligence in investigating his after ours activities at the mayoral mansion.

in his sworn testimony last year, he swore under oath that he did not have any sort of romantic or intimate affair with his chief of staff.

I'm from the area and it is the big hot news the past few days here.

Here's the way I see it....

Nobody is going to get on the stand and just go ahead and admit to cheating on their spouse. The other cheater isn't going to get on the stand and admit she's "the other woman". If they weren't politically involved, public figures - the situation would be handled at home between the husbands and the wives on both sides.

Both parties have spouses and children to think about as well.

The former employees who filed the suit for being wrongfully let go WON and were awarded the LARGE SUM OF MONEY that they were asking for. Which leads me to believe that the jury didn't find much credibility in the testimony coming from the side of the Mayor's office anyways (truth told or not).

There are some local reporters here who seem to have it out for the Mayor. I say, the guys who were wrongfully let go, got what they were looking for. The subject should have been dropped. But NOPE these guys had to do whatever they could to find out for sure that the man was cheating on his wife, both parties lied under oath, and the text messages to prove it.

As much as the news is covering the scandal itself - they are also making it clear that nothing is sacred when sent via text message or e-mail. So if you have anything to hide - putting it out into cyberspace (of any form) isn't the smart thing to do. LOL
