  Groovy, baby! Your aura is a sparkling Crystal — which means you're a sensitive soul with a romantic, introspective nature.

  I think I'm the only one so far to be...Crystal. Could this be why I chose Lost Diamond for my board name?

  My mother who is a JW called my brother, also a JW, and told him she was going to watch Dateline.

  He told her not to..that is the work of apostates, and that it is part of the persecution JW's will face since we are so close to the end.

  Mom told him she will watch whatever she wants to. I feel sorry for my brother...he is so blind ans so self-righteous!

  my personal hell has started since i told my wife i was stepping down and why i was doing so.

  she has barely said 2 sentences to me in the last 24 hours, but i can understand her being upset so i'm trying my best to remain patient.. yesterday afternoon i told my cousin who is also one of my closest friends about my decision.

  we ended up talking about it for more than 4 hours.

  I wish you strength and hope everything works out for the best.

  This may sound boring to some you.... but this is what I did today. This morning I went to a meeting at the local libraray for a subject that interests me, and then came home for lunch. Afterwards I stopped at a friend's house, then I went to a local Home Depo and bought a variety of flowers and potted them in my porch flower boxes and planted some in front of my house. Flowers make such a difference, and makes the porch so inviting....nice place to have my coffee in the morning.

  Later I'm going to wash some cloths and prepare my bag for a conference I will be attending Monday & Tuesday that is work related. I am being picked up tomorrow at noon by a co-worker, for its a 3 hr. drive to the resort I will be staying at. It will be a good learning experience, as well as a nice retreat....hot tubs, saunas....mmmmm, can't wait!

  Well, so far that has been my weekend....

  BREAKING MY SILENCE EVERYONE READ!!!

  by D8TA in

  2. friends

  as ive made it known on this board, my current status with the watchtower bible and tract society is that of inactive.

  this is a loophole i have utilized, to keep an open channel of communication with family members in the organization.. i want to clarify with everyone: i do not hold any doctrinal ideas, theology, ideology, opinions expressed in any form by the wtbts.

  therefore, to simply put, i do not believe in the wtbts in any way, shape, or form.

  Divided Households

  2. friends

  i'm kind of new here...i don't post much, but i read the board almost daily.

  i have a question that maybe some of you might be able to answer, or at least give me some suggestions.

  i am divorced and have custody of 2 beautiful, well-behaved children, ages 9 & 6. their father is a jw and i have drifted away, so i could say i'm mostly out of the org.. when they are with me we do not go to meetings, but when they see their father every other wkend they go meetings with him and his wife, and sometimes to service.. i have read that many of you were brought up in a divided household where one parent is a jw and the other is not.

  Thank you all for you comments & suggestions. I agree with all of you and it makes perfect sence.

  I never ever bad mouth their father and I reminde them that he loves them very much. I constantly tell them that they are my top priority and they're at the "top of my list". My youngest constantly reminds me, "Mommy, it's because we're on top of your list, hu?" I strongly reasure her that they are. I'm able to speak to my 9 yr. old a little more in depth and I remind him that they are what matters most in my life.

  I too believe that reassuring them with words and lots of affection will go a long way in their lives. This has molded them to be pretty good children...the ladies at day care are always telling me what great kids I have and how well behaved they are...I am very proud of them and I tell them this whenever I get a compliment about them. I could'nt have asked for better children!!

  I could tell they get to feeling guilty when they do holiday artwork, but I tell them it's good practice and it teaches them art...there is nothing wrong with a tree, or spiders, or rabbits...etc. I just don't want them growing up feeling confused, but to realize there are choices in life. I hope I can make them see this, and hopefully they can grow up to make the right kind of choices for a happy and fulfilling life.

  Thanks again for all your comments!

  I have read that many of you were brought up in a divided household where one parent is a JW and the other is not. How has this affected you...emotionally? What do you all suggested I could do so my kids do not feel as though they are being pulled apart? If you had to go back, what do you wish you non-JW parent would have done, or not have done? How do you wish they would of approached holidays? I could easily do without out them, myself....

  I would really appreciate your input, since this is all very new to me.

  Thanks!!
