I thought new cars did it for you
I hated that part of the driving test!
I can't believe my son is about to get his permit...I wonder if the neighbors are laughing at him as he walks out to his parked car and starts it up and sits in it listening to music and texting his friends everyday dreaming of the day he could actually drive it.

Okay I just got back from the Police department
by troubled mind inthe officer was very understanding and helpful .
he said you would be surprised how many citizens they have come in and ask how to stop the jehovahs from coming to their doors .. .
i told him my whole story about leaving the jw's after 44 yrs and just wanting peace and freedom .

That will be my next step if the elders don't back off after our recent request.
I think it odd that all of a sudden they are really pushy..2 calls in one week wanting to meet with us? Of course that made my anxiety to act up again
A friend recommended we not write a letter because everything we write and sometimes just their interpretation of what we write could work against us. Instead he said to leave a message at a time you know they wont be home (meeting day) and tell them emotionally you are not in the right place to deal with a meeting that would only upset us all over again.
Well, so far it's seemed to work...
I just don't get it! When you need them you get nothing and when you finally start to move on and feel good again...here they come, to stress you out!!

thankyou all who have shown support to me and goodbye for now x
by looloo ini first came on this site around the time we were waiting the my daughters abuser to face justice in crown court , we got no justice (due to lack of evidence) but his other victims had a very small section of the abuse they suffered legally recognised , due to a deal being done with the defence , so we waited 20 months to give evidence just to be dropped at the last minute for a "deal" my by now ex best friend decided to stand by the child rapist !as did some of his family despite him being a disfellowshipped person (he was not disfellowshipped for child abuse ) and they are all jws !
isold my house and left the town i once loved as i couldnt bare to be in the same town as him when he left prison (he did 18 months of a 3 year sentence ) and see his supportive family knocking on doors taliking of truth made me feel like screaming at them "what about my poor girl , wheres your support for her , you hypocrites "my daughter is still very much affected by what happened to her age 13 , sexual, physical and mental abuse over months and months .
but i also have a 6 year old girl who was only 20 months old when i found out and reported the abuse to the police , and the long process started , for the next 20 moths i could think of nothing but giving evidence in court and trying to support my girl who was also terrified of that , my little one was 3 and a half when he was sentenced and i looked back and realised i had hardley taken any notice of her since i found out about my other girls abuse , i had missed out on so much of her best times , learning new words etc , i was too preoccupied .

Okay your post made me cry!! We have so much in common aside from our child's molester being sent to prison for most likely the rest of his life.
I can so understand your grief and the struggle to move on..I'm still fighting to do it myself.
I wish you all the best and hope your up to 75% by the end of summer.

update on why the Elders have been so busy trying to contact me
by troubled mind inthey have stopped by our house multiple times (we have been gone or just ignored their knocks) multiple phone messages requesting it is urgent that i call them back .
(screened all calls lately ).
today the phone rings and i tell my husband screw it i am answering and putting an end to this .. the elder on the other line is not the one that has been stopping by ,but rather my husbands ex-nephew through marriage .

Wish I could tell you I was surprised I had a feeling they were up to no good when they wanted to meet with you.
Sorry you have to deal with this, hopefully they just drop it.

People like me too much my husband says...
It seams every new friend I make likes to pretty much take me over. I goes from me going over to sit in the hot tub for a couple of hours to a everyday phone call to hit the movies or come over for coffee or I need someone to talk to...
I've had to really learn to say no with a smile on my face because after all, I'm a family woman and my favorite things to do is spending my time at home with the hubby and kids playing games BBQing are watching movies.
I guess I don't like people that much

Where has your spiritual journey lead you?
by thraxer68 injust curious, to those of you who have left the "truth", where has your spiritual journey lead you?
have you found another religion?
are you not really a religious person?

I became inactive after being shown how little the sheep mean to the Shepard's. I lost complete faith in "MEN" but never lost faith in God and Jesus. I still read the bible and pray, but I could never trust an organized religion again.
I fill my spiritual need by talking to friends and neighbors about the bible but this time not to pull them into a religion but instead to encourage them as they encourage me. I have to say one of my biggest shocks was learning that other religions do know their bibles and can quote them even better then I do.
