Goodbye, Everyone!
by OrbitingTheSun ini have spoken with a number of you already about my journey this winter, but i thought i'd share the story with all of you before i leave this thursday.
this fall i was asked by one of the professors at my school to go with her on a mission to guatemala.
her proposal sounded very interesting, but i didn't think i would be able to go because of my family's financial situation (my widowed mother has been paying my tuition and my brother's tuition while we both attend private institutions).

What do you do...?
by Brummie inwhat do you do when you see jw family or jws who were once good friends on the street?
do you look at them and give them the opportunity to snub you?
or do you take the initative to cross the road and look the other way before they do it?

It depends on who it is, there have been some I've ignored while I was in the truth.
my hubby did on one ocassion run into two of them in Walmart, they quickly ducked down another isle.
for myself if I see the family Jesika is related to I will say hi from her mom (V) and sisters just to see their reaction.

Come on! NOTHING is Going To Refrom the WT!
by D8TA inthis whole "reform" nonsense is driving me up the wall.. nothing is going to "reform" the wtbts.
nobody is going to "reform" the wtbts.. crying out loud, be realistic about this.
we have a group of men who have at least some faith & belief that what they do is "divinely" approved, and they have 6 million suckers who follow.

why would we want them to reform?
they are a great topic for discussion, are they not?

in life some lessons are hard to learn, but it's her that has to learn them, just continue to be a friend that will listen when it doesn't work out.

im sooo p***** off
by nelly1 inone of the witness sisters who sometimes comes to see me came today.
i remeber telling u all a while ago that abt a month ago an elder and an ms came to my house to do the where are you visit.. well i of course told them i didnt want to discuss it and said a prompt goodbye... well isnt it interesting that it doesnt take long for the so called discreet confidentiality to be broken huh?.
i hear today that a sister told this other sister that an elder came to see me and i told him to get lost..... seems they gossip more than i thought now i was majorly pisssssssssssed off about that.. they r such freakin hypocrites!!!!

even sisters wanna be detectives.
when we sent out our DA letters, they were sent out to the elders and a few others (can no longer call them friends). anyway, i wrote to one and asked her to tell her cousin the reason why we left. the cousin was told by an elder "that if you hear of anything to let them know" (at this point we had been avoiding meetings). sure enough as soon as she heard she calls. but the elder had already received the letter the same day.

Wecome and don't worry Craig, we're all going to die happy!
remember to fear the true God and keep his commandments and I think all will go well for you. He did not have an organization on this earth for us to answer to man. follow your heart.
we DA'd in August after finding out the Gov Body does not receive any more holy spirit than you or I. my hubby was going to do a talk on why things change in the org. when he found the info in the WT 3/1/79 that states that they are no longer inspired. And of course the pedophile issue was a big factor, everthing else fell into place. take care! from Jackie in Nebraska

Today Sucks!
by pettygrudger inafter 16 beautiful days off with my children, sleeping in late, actually making family breakfest and all the other wonderfully "mommy" things to do without rushing - i'm back at work (bluck!!!!
) and the kids are back to school so the rushing begins again.
regardless of how people feel about christmas, i find that 2 week period of time my highlight of the entire year.

To All (My Dad died 12/21)Now Mom had a stroke
by Nancy K ini haven't been 'on' as my dad died 12/21 suddenly, before that i was about to do the 'lawsuit thing' to see my granddaughter, then 2 days ago my mother was rushed to the hospital and has had a mild stroke...i am totally out of it...but i do have 'good news'.. i'm going to see my granddaughter!!!!!
turns out, thru all of what's happened lately, i found out that my jw sister lied to my daughter 2 years ago, and she wasn't shunning me, she was upset about the fact my sister lied to her (causing this!
) it always 'comes back' as they say..karma, reaping what you sow, etc., ...thanks to all of you kind people..i can't wait to get back on and read the posts...you're doing a great service, to all like and unlike me!
