Peachy-sorry that your mom didn't do the right thing in regards to you as a young person. Shame on her and on those elders!!! I can see why you are not close with her. I think you should tell her what's on your mind. Some family relationships are toxic. Best Wishes!

Has anyone ever ratted out there family member to the socitey for talking to a disfellowhipped family member?
by Peaches1978 inhi everyone, the reason why i ask this question is (aka i've been defellowshiped for 16 years now) because within the past month my mom and brother and sister which are witnesses (after going to the famous assembly )have been bugging me, i've tried to do it in a nice way and tell my dear mother to leave me alone stop calling me and dont come around my house.
she won't listen, i have never been close to my family or have had a relationship with them.. so it' doesnt bother me that they dont talk to me.
but my point is that they need to follow their own rules.

I'm sorry, I didn't get in her post that they were harassing her with WT stuff. They probably were but once again, I stand by my statement that they are just concerned for her and miss her as a part of their lives. Obviously, they are going about it the wrong way by preaching to her but none the less, they are worried.
I don't want to hear what happened at the assembly, KH or what the latest article inthe WT says, but my mom loves me and is worried to death about my inactivity-as I'm sure that Peaches family is. I could never break her heart by telling her what I really think. I guess, to each his own.

Sounds to me like your family misses you and are worried. I understand not wanting your kids exposed to that mess but maybe there is a happy medium somewhere for you.

My JW parents met my wife, but would not see me...
by Confession inso it was time for the 25 year reunion of tawas area high school's class of '84.
because i was class president, i've been responsible for throwing all the reunions we've held.
while i come to michigan on business a few times per year, i don't usually make it all the way up to the little, northeast, lake huron tourist town where they live.

Thank you very much, that is exactly the quote I was looking for. It's unbelievable that they would say such a stupid thing. And to say that masturbation could lead to being homosexual?!*% What in the world?

"Happy day" as a Christmass substitute???
by Albert Einstein insome years ago me and my wife we were visited by a relative and his wife (all jws...) ... it was few days after christmass...... upon arival they gave us nicely wraped gifts ..... we joked "wow how nice of you to get us christmass gifts...!".
they replied: well it is not for christmass, but we were with our inlaws recently, and they have this nice tradition of celebrating "happy day".
they held between christmass and new years eve ... you know, its good for kids, so when kids get back to school, they are not embarassed by not having any new presents... so we thought, its neat and decided to celebrate it as well ... how do you like the idea, it is not christmass, its just a substitute...????".

We had 'family day' or 'kids day'. It was fun and our kids really looked forward to it.
