  i'm still up early hours in the morning, because i'.

  so upset with what my mum said to me on the phone today.

  she told me she got the sack a week ago because her boss didn't agree with my mum being a jehovah's witness and that she lets 'children die' because of the no blood rules.

  Glad you are with us Chaz....Your mom needs to learn to stand up for herself. If anyone at all says they are going to fire her because of her religion.. I agree with others that she should sue the pants off of them.

  Beautiful woman sometimes have problems,,,especially if she is flirty..... with other co-workers being jealous, and threatened by her. It might be more of that then her religion....they used her religion as an excuse to get rid of her.

  Keep coming back!!!

  Lived through Danny H incident / Trevorgate? Do you feel a bit changed?

  by nvrgnbk in

  surely these two events/situations/happenings mean little, nothing even, to those in the real world.. but since we're witnesses( some participatory) to them, they've affected us.. alot "went down" in a relatively short period of time.. do you feel the effects have been mostly positive, an opportunity to grow perhaps?.

  or do you feel adversely affected?.

  what about any lasting effects( positive or negative) you think they may have on the way ex-jws interact as a community?.

  Welcome Tolpuddleman. Don't feel like people were intentionally trying to avoid you....this is a very large message board. Most of us feel that no one really notices if you are here or not. The main thing is to get out of this board what you need to be healthy. JMO

  Sorry that you have had to experience the love that the JW teaches....which is really no love at all.

  But I sure think you have a beautiful cat...I have two cats somedays they are what keeps me sane.

  My Mum's gone

  by shell69 in

  a few months ago i noticed that my mum had put her house up for sale, she doesn't live far from me and i had occasion to drive past her house.. well i've had a funny unsettled feeling all week, and i drove along the back of her house yesterday, and all the curtains were gone, she'd obviously left.

  feeling brave i drove round the front, and yes its empty, doesnt look like she's been gone long.

  i got out and went in the back garden, and looked through the windows.

  The only thing I could add is thank you on behalf of your two boys. They will never know the fear of going out in service, and praying that no one from their school answers the door, missing the fun of holidays, sports, art, education, and conditional love from their JW family. They also will thank you one day. You now will have a real family, not a plastic one that is told how to live and think by a publishing company.

  Welcome to freedom of thought. It is the best.

  I'm So Happy!! A NEVER Give Up Hope Story

  by onesong in

  like most everyone here, i had a painful yet liberating exiting of the org.. one of the most difficult parts was saying goodbye to a dear friend.

  he couldn't believe that i no longer was a "believer", and during our last conversation 3 years ago, he ran out in tears extremely upset.

  i told him that i would always love him and thought there was a good chance that that was the last time i'd ever talk to him.. however last week......he called me!!!!.
