  !!Fluff!! Richie's Hunting Accomplishments

  because i'm bored, i have decided to do a little bit of bragging.. first off, here taxidermed remnants of a turkey i got in april:.

  in case you didn't know, turkeys are "graded" by the size of their spurs (black things sticking off legs) and by their beards (black feathers that stick out of their chest).

  this turkey had an 8 1/2" beard and 1 1/4" and 1 1/8" spurs.

  I always used the rede calls you put in your mouth from Primo, but I've used some box calls a couple of times.

  The beard is impressive! Turkey is the only thing I haven't really hunted yet. I've called a few in for my brother-in-law, but that's it. Those magnums pack a punch it was the first gun I ever shot and it knocked me on my ass.

  when i joined the religion, i didn't read apostate information at all.

  once i left, i read a ton.

  I know for me if it hadn't been for this website and freeminds.org I would've never left the witnesses. These things and the ppl on this board helped me so much and I'm forever in their debt.

  for example: we had a 'faithfull' brother getting older and confused.

  when something did not really went as he liked it (didn't get the answer etc) he shouted very loudly 'god doom me in the hell!

  one time i had to do the closing prayer on the midweek meeting.

  I was running the sound booth and suddenly awoke to the sound of silence. I lifted my head above the box i was in and everyone was staring at me. They were all standing up too. I had had a hangover and had fallen asleep and they were waiting for me to play the song. The elders had a chat with me after that episode.

  Do you miss feeling that "Jehovah" was listening to prayers?

  this is hard to explain, but i will try.

  the other day, my neice was put in the hospital for test , after having two seizures, she is 20 and has never had any medical problems at all.

  i now know, that by doing that it seemed to take the burden of helplessness off of my shoulders.

  For me praying and believing my prayers were getting answered died when i was about 8 years old when most kids stop believing in Santa Claus. I never had a prayer answered and just thought it was because I was a bad jw.

  recently i got engaged.

  the problem is we are going to have a pagan wedding according to our beliefs.

  my mother, a devout jw, already knows that we are getting married so i can't not invite her to the wedding.

  Doubtfully Yours,

  First off I didn't start this thread to talk about religion and to get insulted like a jw insults other religions. I didn't say your religion was senseless so don't go bashing mine. It's obvious from your response that you probably read about wicca mostly from christian based sites so you didn't learn anything truthful any way. By the way i'm not a pot smoker and am actually an intelligent individual that thinks clearly and studies things through before making a decision about anything so my mind was not clouded when deciding to study wicca.

  I had considered telling her about some of the pagan traditions that jws follow with weddings to ease the edge a little bit. Thanks for the list of things that you put Scully. She attended my first wedding to my then "worldly" girlfriend. She wasn't too keen on the idea then with having a female justice of the peace perform the wedding. I can just imagine how she'll feel with a Wiccan High Priestess performing the rites at this Handfasting. JWbot there are certain rites that will be performed that will definetly set the ceremony apart from a traditional wedding. If I could get away with not telling her about it I would, but I don't feel right having her show up knowing she will be offended and make a scene by leaving. I know that once she finds out that I'm a witch that she will disown me so I guess it's just a matter of when to tell her and if I should drag this out for my own sake or just get it done and over with.

  I was born in and was a witness for about 22 years or so. I drifted away without any difficulty from the elders which kinda suprised me since I was supposed to be an example in the hall. My mom is planning on coming to the wedding I just haven't told her yet what kind of wedding it is. I have a feeling that most of my family won't be coming because of the kind of wedding with the exeption of my father who also left and possibly my sister who is currently sitting on the fence with the jws.

  Recently I got engaged. The problem is we are going to have a pagan wedding according to our beliefs. My mother, a devout JW, already knows that we are getting married so I can't not invite her to the wedding. I don't want to not tell her what kind of wedding it is and have her storm out during the ceremony when realization dawns in as to what is going on so I'm going to have to tell her it's a pagan wedding. She's going to ask questions when she finds out and will eventually find out that I'm a practicing wiccan. When that happens she'll freak. I'm afraid that she'll disown me on the spot. How do I go about telling her without compromising my beliefs and changing the ceremony to a traditional one? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
