May I, copy this letter and send it to my parents, like it came from you?

I don't think they'd read it if it came from me, huh? can I? Please.

every now and then i come across comical references to smurfs in posts on this site, i have been in the org all my life and never heard of any demonisation of father abraham's little blue imaginary friends, even when they they hit the uk top ten singles chart.

can someone enlighten me of what was said, where and when?

maybe i missed it because i was more concerned about kiss using an ouija board in plane or axel rose being anagram of oral sex!!!

My daughter, now 28, loved the Smurfs when she was 2-4 yrs old, that would be early/mid 80's. My sister told me about the Smurfs, she had heard it from an elder's wife, so it had to be true. I went to am elder in my KH, becaused I was concerned. Thank goodness, he had enough since about him to say, "If it's not printed in a Watchtower or Awake, it's just a story." That comment helped releave some of the concern, but I still always wondered, what if?

during a discussion about informing everyone about my uncle's sudden passing.

i said to her, "being that joe died so suddenly and is younger than you, are you sure you want to keep shunning me?".

her answer was, of course, to "come back to jehovah".

I know how you feel.

Think back to kindergarten.

did you find the 64 colors in a big box of crayolas to be inadequate or lacking?.

I got the eight pack.

I remember getting sick every single morning. I cried all the way to school It was at least 3 blocks and I had to turn a couple corners. I was always afraid some kid would run out and try to force me to do drugs. Or I was going to be raped. Then after I got to school I would be terrified that the alarms would go off, in CA, it was either a fire drill, or a earth quake drill. During earth quake drills, we had to get under our desks and curl up in a ball and cover our necks. Every time we had one, I thought it was Armageddon, I would close my eyes real tight, thinking any minute now everyone around me would be dead.

I also remember everyone staring at me because I didn't salute the flag. My mom told me not to do it, but she didn't tell me why, except to say that Jehovah would be very mad. The first time, the teacher kept putting my hand over my heart, and I'd let it drop to my side. She did this a few times, then finally gave up and made me stand in the corner. (Years later, I got to share my embarassment I mean my example, before a live audience at the assembly. Every one clapped for me.

Ex jw wife

by sspo in

i find it interesting that i posted about 16 days ago concerning whether i should write a letter and.

allow my ex wife to be free and marry.. saturday night she called out of the blue ( maybe there is a god upthere looking down) after 3 years of not talking to her and she wants to meets.. we met last night and after small talk about how we are both doing and family stuff, she asked me if i would write a letter.

freeing her or releasing her from our marriage without admitting adultery, since i don't believe in the bible anymore,.

lisavegas420

I got my ex to write a letter. I still have it. The letter was written in 1983. There have been a few times over the years that I've found the letter again....then I think how rediculous the whole thing was.

Don't write the letter, it's her rules that don't allow her to remarry, not yours.
