I always thought it was interesting the way topics would go in waves. As in; several questions/topics at once almost alike or with only minor differences.

What non-issues did you get "counseled" about?
by rebel8 ini was "counseled"* for being mad that my jw boyfriend began dating my sister.
it was wrong of me to have feelings.
any embarrassment i felt was due to being puffed up with pride.

Wow..I just had a flashback memory.
I was between 6-7 yrs old, the year would have been 1967-68, my mom had gotten me and my younger sister, a cute springy dress, little white gloves and I think a hat. I remember thinking I was the cutiest thing ever. I also clearly remember a sister telling my Mom, it's still a Easter dress even if you bought it after Easter. I don't remember ever wearing that dress again.
I remember my dad always wore his hair in a DA, with the shiny hair grease, all. This time the year would have been 1969-70, I remember him and my mom talking and he had been directed by Elders, (although I don't think that's what they were called then) to get a new hairdo.

Have you used words like "conditional love" and "black mail" to your son or his gf? What about "cult"? Those words really threw me...until I looked up and thought about what they actually meant. Then I was like..."Ooooohhh, now I get it."

by lisavegas420 inon my previous topic i told about going to the job and human resourses program.

I hope things get better for your daughter soon.
Thank you, she has three children and goes to school full time. I don't really see her or her children as "needy" but whatever, she's closer to 30 than she is doing what I think she should do.

I was happy that the JW kids got to be normal, but as for the parents, my first thougt was 'shit or get off the pot".
Then later I thought about it and it was the kindness and generosity of 'worldly' people that really made me open my eyes to the truth about the truth.

I say she's a hypocrite, and she be called out on her rude behavior.
Having said that, I was guilty of doing many of those things. I do remember working for places that really wanted me to be part of...in fact would go out of the way to call it an "office party" or wrap my Christmas gift with different paper, so as not to offend me.
In my own defense, I'd like to say, that now that I know better, I do better. I try to be the one to volenteer to put the tree up and clean up after parties, and make sure no one feels left out.
