Well, I guess it is my turn.
by pamkw ini have not been to a meeting in about 6 years, and no one had bothered me.
but that is about to change, my sister called me tonight to tell me the news.
my mom had called her to tell her that the elders wanted to know where i lived because they wanted to encourage me to come back.

Maverick,
You made my day. I hope they were just going through the motions and nothing will come of it.
Heathen,
I have never been able to understand the whole voided thing. I was a cover up of sorts. I has always made me mad.
Thanks everyone for commenting.

I already know what I am going to talk to them about. When I was 19 I was df for having sex and not being married. Years later, the elders finally admitted that my step-father sexually molested me. Was he df? No, they decided to declare his baptizm void, as he should not have been allowed to be baptized, since this was going on while he was studying. What gives with that!!!! They should have kicked the bum out, but they wanted to be easy on my mom. So what was I? It was okay to be hard on her then, but not when a man was involved. Not when it was her husband, and they had encouraged her to stay with me, and told me it was my fault. (I was 13). I wore my clothes to tight. Like who bought them?
I have a lot I could say to the elders about how I have been treated in the past. The more I think about this the more I just want to call and scream at my mom.

That's because I hit the enter button instead of the shift button and it went to the board. I just fixed it so now you will understand.

I have not been to a meeting in about 6 years, and no one had bothered me. But that is about to change, my sister called me tonight to tell me the news. My mom had called her to tell her that the elders wanted to know where I lived because they wanted to encourage me to come back. She said that since I had been baptized,they wanted to see if they could get me to come back. (GAG!!!) So I guess my mom gave them my address and phone number. Part of me wants to call her up and yell at her, but I know that she thinks she is helping me. I am not sure why she called my sister, she hasn't been to the meetings for about 17 years, I guess she wanted me to know, but did not have the guts to call me herself.
Part of me thinks it is funny. And the other part is sad, because I do not want to met with them. I can see no good coming from this, I see this as a way to get me df again. I don't get along with my mom that well, but every now and then we can talk, and my son's like to visit her. All that will be changed, because if I met with them, I will be df. If I don'tmet with them, I am sure they will find a reason to df me anyway. And I know my jw sister will do anything to help me get that way. Things were not that great with my family, but it was livable. I will miss that.
The elders must really be pressured to get the numbers up. Maybe I should invite them to my house, I have a christmas tree, and I just got a book from the library about the Bible and myths. I also got a book about Wicca, and the book Kingdom of the Cults. I could leave those out on the table along with a deck of tarot cards. That might raise a few eyebrows. I don't even like any of these elders in this congregation, and they never liked me. This whole thing just pisses me off.

My big complaint. I do not have a job yet. But my oldest son does, so that is a help. and I hurt my back somehow day before yesterday and now I can hardly stand up. It is my lower back and left hip. Something is pinched somewhere. All I know is I can't seem to make it stop hurting. On a good note Is started getting my Christmas stuff out so I can put up the tree soon. I just love Christmas trees and lights and stuff.
Pam
Sorry about your cold. I just got over one of those myself a few weeks ago.

I had just started being inactive in 95, and didn't even know about the change until 98 when I read about it on the internet. My mom, who never reads anything, didn't even know it had happened. She tried to tell me it was all lies, that there was no change. I told her to pull out her bound volumes and start reading. It doesn't mean anything to her, she thinks she is not smart enough to understand it anyway, so whatever the "brothers" say is fine with her.
I was so angry when I found out. My mom had been laying on the guilt really hard in 98, saying that her grandchildren would die and there was nothing she could do about it. When I read about the change, a weight was lifted off me. And I was mad. And I never again went back to the meetings.

And it never fails she always comes over after I have decorated for Christmas. It is like she can't help herself. I think she is amazed I have friends. So if anyone would like a card please pm me also.
