update...husband made appt. with the elders, what do you think of this?....
by New light for you inok... so my husband felt bad that the elders wanted to meet with us and he wasn't responding... so he set it up for saturday at 2 even though everyone said dont meet with them.
oh ya, and everyone said not to meet with them at your house, but again, he didn't want to rock the boat.
it's funny, though he was the first one to leave, he's still afraid and doesn't want to "raise any red flags" he's willing to just say "we're discouraged, can you just leave us alone fora while" feel free to yell at him (robert7).. here's the thing.

Here's the thing. I'm a little torn. My girlfriend wrote me a letter finally saying if i just fade , she'll stay my friend. She's insistant that if we just go to meetings "no one will chase you down". She's so nieve, and mistaken.
My instincts are such... right now... i want to go to the meeting and immediately say.. " i do NOT believe in the society or the faithful and discreet slave. i do not beieve this is the true religion. I am willing to walk away- i have no interst in bringing anyone down, and if i'm out of site, they will have no desire to contact me. How come i think you will find it necessary to throw me out?
THAT is all i want to say. I can then say "i hear the kids calling me" or somehting... and let them answer husband. I CANT LIE. Husband said that he could say "I believe in the faithful and discreet slave, but we're discouraged". .. what CRAP!! If I"m MAD cuz they SO lied to me, how dare i return with a lie? i'm better than them!!!!!
ANyway, I'm sure to go to hell if i were to say that... right? what would be my consequences? any elders out there?

This was absolutely amazing. truely. I've read all the typical "leaving the truth " books... but this touched the heart in such a caring way. it was beautiful. It was not hurtful, resentful or angry at all. Just full of genuine concern for her. It seriously should be in book form. Thank you for all your research and time... i cant imagine all the work involved.

Shunning & JWs on Miami Ink TV Show
by doinmypart inmiami ink is a show about tattooing, it airs on u.s. cable channel tlc.
the show highlights the work of the tattoo artists and tells the background of why a person gets a particular tattoo.. on last week's show a young lady wanted what she referred to as a "conscience" tattoo.
when i heard "conscience" my ears perked up.

Actually, my best girlfriend that has decided to start shunning me because i have "questions" about the society was watching that with her worldly husband who she hadn't told about shunning her best friend, cuz it would make her religion look bad....
So she started crying when she saw the DFed girl and heard the story, then told her husband about me. Of course, dont know if she'll GET the POINT, of how it's EVIL to SHUN actually , instead of me being EVIL.
Of course she thinks i have grown horns and gone insaine. so , it's a good look for me.

ALways exhausted! I have 2, 8yr girl and 4 year boy.. I feel like having one kid you can do anything , but once you have 2, you may as well have 6. Daughter's last day of school is today, so on starts the summer running all around, trying to do everything "fun" for them, only for it to never be good enough and have her crying by the end of the day. I HATE that. Try to have such a nice day, then it's like "you forgot to get me the candy!" and it's like "it's cuz you had ice cream instead, tha'ts enough!!". Ok, now she sounds like a rotten brat... i think it has something to do about being exhausted by the end when we take em to do anything. Or maybe it's because she was forced to sit thru all these meetings and assemblies she's gonna pay me back. I guess i have it coming.

Did other Brothers critisize you for your "meterial things." My big T.V!
by Witness 007 ina brother from bethel saw i had bought myself a big screen t.v {80cm tube 1996} this was the best t.v at the time.
{i always wanted one} he stared for some time, and mentioned in passing that he never watched television at all.
and that this could be slowing down my ministry.

Are Witnesses Sexually Normal?
by minimus injws are obsessed with sex and sexual sins.
the elders are specifically told what classification a sexual sin falls into.
touching the breasts, genitals, looking at porn, looking at various types of pornography, kissing, petting-----you name it----it is technically classified so that the elders know which charge they can hit you with judicially.. even if you're married, the watchtower disapproves of certain consensual sex acts.

I know i'm on this topic today... but to start making everything NOT normal... we have PUBLIC TALKS that EXPLICITLY talk about sex, using all the "CORRECT" language, with the lovely babies and young children in the audience.
We had a sunday talk like this recently. I sat down, came in a few min. late, and the brother says "BOYS HAVE A PENIS AND GIRLS HAVE A VULVA" ... then he went into detail about how sex is, sex works and even told the audience "you know when i started teaching my sun about sex? the day he came home from the hospital!!!"
YES, i'm NOT exaggerating, word for word. poor 13year old son almost died in the audience.
I asked my 8 year old daughter that night if she ever hears the word "penis". she said "only at the meetings". -

HOLY CRAP! TORNADOS IN SOUTHERN ONTARIO!
by Mary ini just got a call from a friend of mine who was driving his 2 year old son back to his mothers' house near woodstock, ontario.
the sky was fine when he left his house, but within a couple of minutes, a tornado hit and he got caught in the tail end of it.
the wind picked up his truck (with him and the baby in it) and threw it in the ditch.
