does it even matter?
by losingit ini am thinking of sending a simple fb message to all of the jws i know.. "jwfacts.com" with the tag line, "you're in a cult.".
my motivation?
i am disturbed about the fact that these people that pretended to be friends look at me with a negative eye and have no clue as to how they abandoned my girls and i in a desperate time of need over the course of this past year.

What about the opposite? Instead of putting up your dukes so to speak why not be a little catty, or a lot:
I want to take this opportunity to all of you who have shown kindness and consideration towards me and my daughters. There were times in this past year where I was desperate and you came to my aid time and time again. You know who you are...
Add some other stuff too.

"I find that people who didn't learn the sport from a young age have a hard time understanding and appreciating it."
When I was about 35, I would notice my husband and son who was about 15 at the time would be having a great time watching football together. One day I sat down and started asking questions. My husband got a piece of paper and started explaining the game as it went along and I gradually picked up on it. So for me it was just a willingness to understand and good for my husband (ldrnomo) to not brush me off.
Still don't understand everything but I can follow the game.
Go Hawks.

super. When I saw the movie here on the other side of the country we all gathered in the foyer for a Q&A session. It was very therapeutic for many that were there. The guy who was the pro boxer was present also.
I donated some extra cash for their cool poster "Truth be Told". A nice reminder and mantra.

Held my first "worldly" party last night
by Gypsy Sam ini used to have a lot of jw gatherings at my home and it's been the one thing i did miss since our fade.
although i had some nonjw contacts in my life, i always held them at arms length and never really invited them to my place.
well, i've opened up to this group over the last year about the issues with pedofiles within jw world, and the internal/external shunning policy.

So nice to be real and think for ourselves. Sounds like a great party. What a lovely table you set too (I got to see the pictures).

Did your congregation have a "Pioneer Appreciation Day"?
by Coffee House Girl inmy mom (who is now a regular pioneer) has been laid up after having major surgery, and i assert my "biblical" rights as a daughter to do what i can to take care of her, so i have been trying to go to her house on my day off to vaccum and run errands for her since she is not supposed to drive.. she called me last saturday to tell me that i couldn't come by because she was driving to her pioneer appreciation day get-together, wtf .
i'm just curious if this only happens in my area (michigan, us)????.
chg. .

After the yearly pioneer meeting a couple elders would take the pioneers out to dinner. No flowers and they didn't actually call it an "appreciation dinner" but it kinda was.
