i received the bootprint of jehovah on my ass 35 years ago.. i've missed a lot of meetings since that time.
well, i can't say i've emotionally "missed" them!.
while writing my book i had cause to reflect on what my life might have been had i not walked out of a kingdom hall for the last time in 1978.. what if i had gone on attending meetings?.
Right On
here are some picture in my neighborhood.. our house was not affected.
there is possibly more flash flooding expected tonight.. in the picture below our house sits at the bottom right corner about 2 blocks out of frame.
yesterday and tonight we are staying in another town with family.. .
Looks pretty bad, Lafayette has been pretty good, Coal Creek looks like a big river though.
gorby is not feeling well at the moment.
wife and kids went to the kh last week.
gorby stayed at home watching live soccer game psv - milan.
You could feel the guilt on the other end.
We quit when my kids were in college, so we are all out which is cool, but its hard to live with the guilt of what I have done to them.
Its sad.
So at least you will not be responsible for ruining their lives by forcing the JW life on them.

this morning i get a frantic call from my sister (who has been baptized 1 year and one month and never attends meetings anymore).
in tears she tells me that this morning my father picked her up in the car and told her that i was am apostate.
that i no longer loved jehovah and that i was going to be disfellowshipped.
Be strong, you will be happier in the end.
When you mentioned the phone calls it reminded me of when everyone found out we were not coming back.
I own my own retail business and witnesses who I never saw in my store were parading in like crazy like we were some kind of curiosity or something. Very strange. Then it pretty much just stopped, I still have a few come in who actually were customers before we quit.

i was speaking to my sister the other day.
she has faded much quicker than i. she moved on with her life along with her husband and family.
we still talk every day and share our little ditties about life.
Hi! Unlike you I am not holding on. I left the borg six years ago with no looking back. That being said, everyone is different, and what's right for one might not be right for another, and it seems to me that none of us have any room to judge the other. Keeping peace is a big deal and only you can know what to do. As far as your sister is concerned, she clearly cares and I'm sure she loves you very much, but on this subject maybe you could just ask for a little more space and time to make up your mind about how to go about everything.
I wish you peace and clarity of thought,
Mrs. Thor
my latest encounter with my mom has me furious and i needed a place to vent:.
i don't post alot but for anyone who has read any of my posts knows that while i have been struggling for some time, i am still an active jw working towards leaving.. anyway, i got into a car accident yesterday.
fortunately i am well enough to type this up so for that i am greatful.
So sorry for what your going through! I do agree with Hortensia rest and try to take good care of yourself!

We heard the good doctors apology on the radio yesterday morning. It is good news! More and more will come out about cannabis and it's benefits...
imtyping this on my phone, please excuse the misspellings.
i'm sad.
she lived a long life, 90 years, and battled alzheimer's for the last 5 years of her life.
so sorry for your loss!
yup got a voice mail bright and early this morning "grumblecakes, we would like to schedule a shepherding call".. how do i get outta this?.
.
thanks!!
Hi Grumblecakes!
If no thanks won't work, try I'm sick, depressed, too busy, etc. or I'm doing fine and don't need a shepherding call right now. Try something, don't do it! (my opinion)
