  i'm in the living room, watching my wife interact with our baby girl.

  the pure joy and innocence emanating from my beautiful baby is beyond anything i could have every imagined.

  i see the smile on my wife's face.

  Has anyone heard of the elders being called independent agents. Spoke to a brother in the Legal department and he called them that.

  just wondering if anyone has ever heard of elders being referred to as independent agents before.

  i called the legal department and spoke to an older brother about the child molesters in my hall about a month ago.

  he did not want to speak to me because i am just a stupid sister but he did finally agree and that was one point he made.

  JW mother or not?

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  over the next 15 years, police checked in with sagala each year and sent her a questionnaire, but she had no new information.

  she said she periodically tried to contact her estranged husband's friends and family in mexico with no luck.. eventually, sagala said she tried to move on with her life.

  she started a long-term relationship withanother man, gave birth to two more children a girl and a boy and threw herself into worship at her jehovah's witness church.. sagala tried to recreate the life she lost with her first two when her new babies arrived: she gave birth at the same hospital, incorporated parts of their names in her new children's names and dressed them in the same tiny outfits she had saved.. "i went to church, i prayed, because as a mother, i'm not strong enough for the burden i have now.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have 2 small kids, ages 4 and 5 yrs and one on the way (via adoption!).

  my husband and i faded/suddenly disappeared last fall, never to go back to meetings.

  we outed ourselves and told our super hardcore parents/family members that we didn't believe it anymore, were choosing a different path etc.
