Last night the one cool elder calls me
by confusedandalone ini figured he was going to arrange the committee and try to get me kicked out after the whole "big pile of books" labelled "take this shit".. well his call made me realize that more and more people ... elders included no longer take this religion seriously.
after he told me he heard what happened he actually laughed and said i would never expect that.
he then told me that it is apparent that i no longer want to be connected to the organization.

It sounds like this elder is just going through the motions at this point. It would really annoy your self-righteous brother if you picked 'just want to be left alone', he would be miserable in his fury that you weren't disfellowshipped.

Tech 49: the 3 F's...Fading, Field Service, and Friends
by Tech49 inhere we are, the family and i, moving along in our slow journey to freedom.
although they are unaware, for the most part, our ship is slowly veering off course.
not enough to cause attention, not enough to trigger alarm bells, but just enough.. since the summer dc, i have watched carefully, as the new releases remain on the coffee table, in plain sight, not touched, more of a decoration that anything.

Tech49-Interesting post, thank you for sharing it with us. Your writing, by the way, is very enjoyable. You might want to find some books on critical thinking to review with your kids. The books for older kids use scenarios on how to spot bogus claims in advertising, peoples' statements, situations and so forth. They have really helped my kids learn to think. Congrats on getting your wife on your side.

confused-why don't you just wait until a disfellowshipping happens then offer them the money contingent upon your parents having dinner and conversation with you once a week for the next 10 years and consider that repayment. See if they accept these terms...

Got Home From a Business Meeting This Evening-Kids Were Watching JW DVD
by PaintedToeNail ini had a business meeting this evening, hubby elected to stay home with the kiddies (he could have come with me), as he said "you need a break, have some time alone'...so considerate...so i thought.
upon returning home, he had popped one of the new dvd's released at the convention, don't know the title, of some young brother who gets fired from a job and goes for a drink with a buddy from work.
it is very annoying that he pulls these little tricks on me, act like he is doing me some favor or being considerate then pulling one of these jwisms...like the time he booked an appointment with a physchiatrist, and he wanted me to go along to discuss his insecurities in our marriage because i had learned ttatt...he conveniently left out the part where the doctor is a jw.

I didn't realize my topic posted the other night, hubby came into the room just as I hit the 'submit' button & I closed my computer. Thank you to all who have posted comments.
I do ask my kids questions on a regular basis, including while they were watching this crazy video. At one point in the video, the young JW is fired from his job, he says "After I've given my whole life to this job". I laughed and commented 'his WHOLE life? Of what, 3 months?', even hubby laughed at that one, as he saw the ridiculousness of the script. It would have been great to tell him how more middle-aged Bethelites are being given the dubious 'priviledge' of returning real life, after giving their entire lives to Bethel, and having to figure out how to fend for themselves after 30 years of institutional living.
It is a wonderful thing to be able to comment here, as needed, to get rid of stress of the moment.
Thank you Simon & Ang for maintaining this lifeline of a site.
Thank you to everyone for your comments.
