By all means get a lawyer and get court ordered visitation. Not ok for her to withhold the child from you. Keep documenting everything; the court will not take kindly to her bad behavior.

Hard to be completely respectful and the JW attitude
by scratchme1010 inrecently at work they conducted an mbti test for me.
for those who don't know, the mbti test is a personality test used by organizational psychologists in companies and organizations.
it is supposed to describe the best way you communicate, the best way of giving and receiving feedback, and for managers that test is supposed to explain to them the best way to manage their employees (i'm over simplifying, i know).. my profile came up as some kind of introvert (and when i was told that i said "what?

Scratchme, I am so sorry about the loss of your mother and the way you were treated. My jehovahmom died this year too...the dubs are really good at making things worse for the bereaved.

The Metropolitan Museum Oasis Bible Tours in NYC
by Beachlover ini just came home from a day in nyc and was taken to the met for the the woman and her offspring tour i went to keep peace and just enjoy my family.
i've been to the metrpolitan museum of art on many occasions and have enjoyed spending time wandering thru the exhibits appreciating the art and history.
since all family members wanted to do the tour by the wts entitled a woman and her offspring, i thought i could just follow along and just enjoy the art and exhibits.. in all honesty, i'm still amazed at this whole tour.

These people sure know how to ruin a perfectly good day. I would have wandered away from the group and enjoyed my time at the Met.

Depression, Anger and Anxiety
by Sorry infor the last few months, i feel like i've been going through the 5 stages of grief.

You must WANT to be depressed? That's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Depression is a medical issue. See a doctor and get a referral and possibly a prescription. You will likely feel better if you get some help.

The one oclock meeting
by Steel ini go to a hall (very rarely) with a single cong of about 60 people in a small city of maybe 10000. our board of elders is a bunch of childless weirdos or at least the ones that make an effort.. they recently changed the sunday meeting time from 10/12 to 1/ 3. a number of us are pissed off.
its makes to hard to drive to the city or go to a football game.. i just know the gestopo elders behind the change.
if your life isnt as miserable or pointless as theirs, they arent doing their job.

If you already attend rarely, it seems this would be a good opportunity to stop altogether. Obviously the new time just won't work for you.

"It's a cult, mom."
by schnell inmy mom has been extensively texting me, trying to argue that the un ngo scandal is not a big deal and that the child abuse scandal is to instigate the great tribulation.
even worse, she kept saying how great it is that the gb is imperfect and fallible and that teaching changes all the time.
maybe it was aggravation or impatience, but i finally just snapped and told her, "it's a cult, mom.".

If it wasn't a cult, would it have her saying such wacky things to her own child?

Is this a sign then, should I lol?
by Alostpuppydog inso the elder (who was my teacher) has informed the rest of the congregation and has now revolked my enterance into their or any hall.
and so now they are looking into getting a restraining order and have called new york and that's what they have decided to do.
just because i was made to feel so depressed and hated that i was thinking of suicide.

That is a terroristic threat and you have more options than that. If you feel suicidal, calling a suicide hotline and getting some help would be a much better option. Please get some help...the JWs don't know how to help you.

They are supposed to be no part of this world or its politics. They should have no comment on this, but they can't seem to STFU.

What The Searcher said. Keep them at bay for as long as you can. They have no real world authority over you, a point which could be made by your attorney. An attorney could actually stop them from DFing you.

Someone mentioned a Don Emshoff and it rang a bell. I think we had a Duane Emshoff in the Midwest for a short time. He was a redhead, his wife was named Cecelia and he called her Ceil. They had their own little camper trailer they stayed in. She kept to herself; I think she was struggling with depression/anxiety. They parked in our driveway when I was 11 or 12. She was kind to me and gave me her old sewing machine.
Also, did anyone know Bill and Joan Ooley? I think she was from California; she said she had been at USC(?) with Carol Burnett. I mentioned in the other thread that my teenage self thought they were too cool to be JWs. I think they ended up DAed or DFed. Wondering if they were already on the way out when I met them...he actually encouraged me to think.
