my daughter goes to a school where one of the office personel is a jw.
my hubby is df'd i haven't been to a meeting in 3 years.
when we go into the office and have to talk to her she directs all of her responses to me even if my husband is the one that asked the question.. once my husband went in there with my daughter and this person didn't direct her answers to my husband who asked the question, but to my daughter who was just tagging along.. this is stupid.
Report the incident directly to the Headteacher.
Complain on the grounds of "religious discrimination"
Say that she refuses to talk to you on "religious grounds"
When questioned she'll have to admit or lie.
I'd put your complaint in writing.
If you don't get any joy write to the Governors.

Seriously guys, why are you (we) bothering?
I'm a Christian but I won't engage any further . . .
And there i was wondering what to preach at church last Sunday . . .
Church goers usually have more kids anyway, the religiously minded generally have bigger families
If you didn't have a cool Morrisey avatar I'd have said this was twaddle

It means someone who is here just to deliberately wind everyone up without a real point. It's not an insult.
Usually it's someone who's a JW (in the context of this forum) but it doesn't have to be.
Your arguements are very poor - embarrassing actually. They do make you look like a troll.
You maybe totally sincere. You maybe right. But you ARE out of your league in the debating stakes.
That's not meant to be an insult.
Your giftings do not lie in debating or evangelising.
I hope they lie elsewhere.
it would be great wouldn't it?
if there was a room at the back of the hall that had a bar with a selection a fine handpulled ales & spirits.
the lights were lowered slightly, and some background tunes (not kingdom melodies) were playing, and there were some nice cosy chairs to lounge in.. after the meeting you could and have a few pints and have a laugh about how boring crap someones talk was.
I suggest Barnsley Congregation be the first to get one
i left the organisation 5 years ago and this morning came across some old photographs from my jw days.
most photographs were taken in the kh, such as marriages, and at assemblies and many are of people once considered close friends - but now i find it hard to look at them.
i asked claire, my wife, if she would like to look at them and she said she couldn't bear to, so they went in the bin.
We have a wedding video.
Still happily married but can't begin to think about watching it because of all the people on it . . .
otherwise entitled: smoking - a cautionary tale.
i have a gift, a talent for getting myself locked into or out of places.
ever since i was small i have managed to get myself locked in most host's lavatories and unable to quite mistress the ability to unlock the door.. today i surpassed myself.
And I was gonna invite you all to visit lol . . .
i'm going in for a routine checkup at the behest of my partner.
she was shocked i've never been tested, and i said well i have no symptoms, i wear condoms, and had very few partners, so i didn't think it was necessary.
really how bad is the "q tip"???
I think it involves shoving in red hot wires . . .
i was married a long time, divorced and alone for the last couple of years.
i consider myself content.
i've come to terms with being alone and the prospect that i may not be with someone for a good while.
I was in a relationship like that (minus the hot tub!) for about 7 years.
For what it's worth, here's my opinion.
As you are moving away - I'd tell her how you feel.
If that "weird's her out" you COULD always set about regaining her trust by not going weird on her yourself.
If it turns out that she has feelings for you you could take it from there.
My experience tho of this sort of a (possibly) onesided relationship is not good.
It eats you up because you want more and it's unrecipricated but you live in hope.
I also believe that if it turns out that she definitely doesn't want the friendship to go further YOU should put some boundaries in place.
The hot tub stuff is off limits and if she repeats it again I feel she is not being fair because she's sending out mixed messages.
I HOPE that she wants to develop the relationship.
My gut feeling is that she doesn't.
When I look back over my previous relationships I sometimes think about the times I seemed to meet the "right" person at the wrong time, and I wonder what might have been.
But when I think about the person I knew, who sounds alot like this girl, I really don't view it in the same light.
Neither of us were attached, the timing could have been worked out, and the opportunity was there. I told her how I felt.
She didn't want to take it any further than the "shopping" and "dinners" that you're having.
We did continue the friendship but in the end I needed someone who wanted more with me
In the end she didn't WANT it.
Not much you can do about that.
