my daughter wrote mrs. flipper and me each our own individual letters thanking us initially for the gifts - and then went into detail as to why she has not spoken to me for over a year and shunned me.. keep in mind as i paraphrase some of the highlights to these letters that the only negative thing i have said about the organization to my daughter in 3 years was to show her the ap news release about the child abuse settlements by the wt society .

i'll quote parts of the letter to mrs. flipper first :.

Perhaps you can mention to her that you have not told her the full story about why you are not going to meetings. You didn't want to burden her with your problems...the truth is that you are feeling depressed - you have been praying to Jah about your feelings of worthlessness because you feel you are not doing enough...

Seek to engage her emotions and endeavour to meet face to face to talk...

Go slow and take baby steps as you introduce matters that you have been meditating on - matters that you have been praying to Jah about tearfully eg R. Jensen letters
That's what I mean't about not mentioning anything. I really believe that the above will be interpreted as "He's dangerous. There's stuff he wants to tell me. I mustn't give him the opportunity."
The longer you can maintain contact and prove that you are no threat the more chance, I believe, you have of reconnecting.
Everyone to his own, and obviously Flipper knows his daughter better than anyone - but that's my gut feeling.
Best wishes

Facebook or your family? I know which I'd choose.

Sure they don't have the right but they're not gonna change.
You have to decide which you'd rather sacrifice.

At some later date you could set up a new Facebook profile.
Don't put your photo on your profile, set the privacy settings so no one can see your friends and don't add your family to your account LOL
