by Xena in
1. jw
2. friends
my jw niece called me last night on the phone.

she is having a pampered chef party (for those of you who don't know what these are, it's like a tupperware party except they cook a meal and sell the cooking stuff).

it is going to be at my jw sister's house and all the dubs will be there....including my "best" friend who ratted me out to my sister regarding us celebrating christmas last year.. i am not invited....but my niece would like me to buy some stuff and to make up for shunning me she is offering to give me her hostess discount....woohoo huh?.

When did you realised that everything had changed?
by In_between_days in
1. jw
2. friends
in life, there are certain pivotal moments when you realise that every thing has changed dramatically.

it's a breathtaking and overwhleming feeling.

you may think back to who you were on this day a year ago, compared to who you are now - the contrast is incredible.. i find change in viewpoints and thinking evolves slowly, over a long period of time, you dont know the change is taking place until one day, you realise for one stunning minute that you are everything that you never were.

The Meeting Clothes I Left Behind
by dobby in
1. jw
2. friends
this past weekend my husband and son and i went to stay with my jw in-laws.. it was a pleasant weekend.

they were a little subdued this weekend, i think the assembly got to them and they seemed less open to discussing our feelings about the wt.. a very interesting thing happened as we packed to go on sunday morning.

i was in the guest room folding clothes into our suitcase when my father-in-law tapped on the door.

how do you feel about your friends you left behind and in the organisation and who now shun you?

do you feel they are still your friends, and are just doing what they think is right?

would you ,if shunning was dropped and they now wanted to have contact again accept them back as friends?edited by - sleepy on 18 august 2002 10:14:43.

i seem to recall someone talking about having the list of points for the weight watchers point system diet.

my sister and some of her co workers are planning on going to a weight watchers free meeting.

i told her of course the will have you pay up , and it is not that expensive, but i told her i might can get the information from someone on the internet.
