  our little party here is coming to a close and i am very sad about that.

  i remember on my high school graduation day in june of 1972, we were all standing in the cafeteria getting our caps and gowns on and i looked around the room at all these people i had literally grown up with for 18 years and thought "this is the last time we are all going to be all together" and it made me cry.

  i have come to depend on and love you guys so much.

  Glad you came through all that ok! Its enough with the surgery without having to worry about relationships and religion and crap. You know you cant trust hospital personnel right? If a JW nurse saw that you had that transfusion, and she knew you...she would absolutely go tell the elders about it. There is nothing sacred.

  Mat 18 & Jesus Says To Lay Bare The Sins of the Sinner To The Congregation

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  so says a woman in the news who is "sinfully" living with her boyfriend.

  she has become a marked woman and now the church tells her, after she left the group that they are still going to announce to the congregation how she has sinned, in harmony with jesus' direction in matthew 18.....sound familiar?

  ?.

  The Bible also says that people who sin should be stoned. It also says being fat is a sin. It says that a woman with her period should go seclude herself for a week because she is unclean.

  The entire book is outdated and has become more of a WEAPON people use against each other.

  And UGLY response to a Christmas Card!

  boy..just when i thought things couldnt get weirder in my life...i spent a whole day designing a christmas newsletter with colorful pictures and stories about what my kids and family have been doing, and the election and you know...year end things and greetings, to send out.

  i do this every year.

  this year i had to file bankruptcy in august and decided to email the newsletter to save money.

  Oh man...he SLAPPED his MOTHER? Wow...Im surprised she didnt call the cops on him. And no I dont expect my husband to do that to his dad either but SOME indication that he thought the comments were untoward would have been nice!

  When the JWs started to shun me, and I would cry at the loss of my family and friends, my husband would say "What do you EXPECT? YOU LEFT JEHOVAH! You brought this all on YOURSELF!"

  Nice huh? But his dad isnt nor ever was a JW...so there is no excuse. And yet he, too, is being excused.

  DH expects me to pretend I never heard any of this...soooo aint gonna happen. He already hates me, might as well give him a REASON to eh?

  "In Lieu of Flowers, Contributions Can Be Made To The______KH of JWs"

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recently, a very nice witness with mental illness killed himself.

  i heard many witnesses were wondering whether there would be a memorial talk given at the kingdom hall since he committed suicide.. but remember, "at the request of the family", please give no flowers, just contributions to the kingdom hall.

  sadly, these folks could use the money because the man that committed suicide was financially broke and was extremely depressed..

  A young man in a neighboring congregation killed himself and the "friends" were murmuring that they were NOT going to go to this poor kids funeral, and the funeral was to be held at a funeral home and not the KH because he had committed a huge sin by killing himself against Jehovah. What frickin HOGWASH.

  So now, the elders go HEY! If we have the service HERE what a great opportunity to make some MONEY! We'll just suck off all those worldly people who come in! Great idea Brother! Go make that announcement and we will be viewed as Caring and Loving!

  LOL! You guys are the best. Truly. I feel a lot better now. Because I refused to apologize for sending the man a Christmas card...my JW husband wrote him an ass kissing groveling email, which I will not put here, thanking him for the loans, and lessons my husband learned from his dad and how "selfish" my husband thinks christmas newsletters are and how he gets "Christmas shoved down his throat" every year...all in an effort to quell the hatred coming from his father. Never telling the man he was out of line saying those things about his wife. So...FIL writes back to him...

  J -

  I didnt say anything about asking for a THANKYOU letter, I resented that the only communication we got was the same newsletter that Joe Doaks got; not even a separate email to us with some little message. That probably infuriated me more than it should have. You werent raised by the kind of mohter I had. You can shit all over your mother (IMHO you do) and she will still love you. No protocols.

  Sorry if I flew off the handle. I will try to look ath things from your eyes more.

  I am sending the kids money, and you know I always try to see them at some point. I dont care what you say - money helps. Its not much help, I know, and it isnt meant to be a substitute.

  Dad

  *****

  NO apologies for shitting on me though. None. I just got a card in the mail that said that this guy just bought a subscription to Consumer Reports for my husband...who doesnt DO Christmas, and is now sending money to my kids...which is nice...so he is soundly going to NOT send anything to me?? Not that I want anything EVER from this man again. So it will be interesting to see if he sends a disingenuous check to me. Since he doesnt know that I know what he wrote about me and what he REALLY thinks of me, if he sends me a check, Im gonna rip it in half and mail it back to him in a copy of the email he wrote about me. Lets him see how it feels to have his "gifts" rejected.

  I love my husband, he is a product of his upbringing no doubt, and instead of confronting things he acquiesces. Honest to God, in 22 years, I havent spent time sitting with my father in law just talking. He thinks women are stupid, and being the neanderthal that he is, when meals are done he retires to the living room to watch football with the boys and lets the women do the work in his life. My mother in law cow towed to that man like nothing i have ever seen before. Before he dumped her, if we ate over there, she wouldnt even sit down to eat with us...she was constantly catering to him.

  THAT buck stops here. I love that he tells my husband that he shits on his mother. This is the same man who was having an affair on my mother in law, allowed my mother in law to think there could be some reconcilliation, allowed my mother in law to come help him paint and decorate a condo on a lake he bought (not telling her it was his and his mistresses love nest and not HERS at all), went with my MIL on a weekend "romantic" getaway and got her pregnant at age 43, and then abandoned her to go live with his mistress when his new son was a month old, leaving her with no job, a newborn, and a retarded daughter to care for. He threw money in her general direction and that was supposed to make it all better. Apparently only HE gets to shit on my MIL.

  there's some hardcore crazy going on there.. -- not outing it.

  So much for keeping her affair under wraps. Perhaps she is announcing this to the world on the internet to take the WIND out of the SAILS of the church so they can have no glee in outing her.

  Lawsuit much?
