  it was an awful weekend both of my kids were in the hospital with pneumonia.

  one had to stay the night and the other was treated in the er.

  it was extremely stressful and worrisome to say the least.

  Do you feel moved or obligated to check in on JW family?

  by mamalove in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you are being shunned, do you ever feel out of obligation that you should be the bigger person and check in on parents or siblings who are still jw's and have nothing to do with you?

  i have reached out to my sibling and get zero back.

  it hurts, and i am angry about it, yet from time to time i still feel a tenderness in my heart and let it be known that the love and care and concern is there.

  Favorite products?

  by mamalove in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was reading the yahoo article featured today on products that are ingenious, and people just cannot live without.

  i am curious what things you always keep in your house that are irreplacably handy or useful.

  what interesting ways would you use them that normally may not be the application it was designed for?.

  Things I have heard about California JW's

  by mamalove in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after reading the two piece bikini discussion and the comment about calipornea, it reminded me of something i used to hear about the jw attitude in general there.

  that it was extremely lax compared to mid west or other areas.. people were supposedly not df'd when they would most definitely been elsewhere, and more "worldy" type of dress and grooming were tolerated well.. is this correct at least in some areas?

  if so, do you think it has to do with money, or the general culture there?.

  Is it just human nature to gossip or are JW's worse? Feelings are hurt....

  by mamalove in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it is so strange how once you distance yourself from your kingdom hall and friends, that they find it necesary to discuss and contemplate your departure and put out all kinds of statements that simply are not true.. i am licking my wounds today because some kind of nasty things were said about me to a friend of mine who is df, from her ubber righteous sister.

  it was via text, so it was there to read.

  the thing i can't figure out is i have nothing to do with this woman.
