I see the same phenomena sitting behind 14 yr old Sister BarbieDoll who spends the assembly writing her name in calligraphy, over and over and over......

Oh my ghod I used to do that. It looked like I was taking notes.

Inky got a letter from her son.............you have to read this

by Mulan in

our niece, irene, who posts here as inky, sent me an email.

her 27 year old son is getting married in two weeks, and she posted a few days ago about how he didn't invite her to his wedding.. she told me i can post it as she doesn't want to read it again.. "dear mom.

i've needed to write this letter to you for some time now.

I'm almost speechless.

To say those things to your own mother. I can't comprehend how anyone could be so hateful. It really makes me nauseous.

(((((((((Inky)))))))))) I'm very sorry. The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society has turned your son into a real asshole. I hope he comes to his senses one day and begs for your forgiveness.

Something is horribly wrong when the most heartless of drones, ones who willingly deny their own parents and children the most basic human instinct of love, are the very ones who constitute your religion's 'good examples.'

Now there's gonna be a Cult of Teejay

Teej, you are absolutely correct. I, for example, left the jWs all on my own. I had been out for about five years before I even had a computer. I didn't even know these forums existed until I had been out for a long time.

I left because I wanted to, not because of something I read on an internet forum. I'd venture a guess that that's the case with most folks here.

This isn't being said to diminish the time and effort it takes to write those essays. But when the authors are put on a pedestal and basically worshipped, it makes me wonder if these folks didn't learn what is, in my opinion, the biggest lesson to be learned from being a witness. Quit being a follower.

Feeling Pretty Bad

i hate mondays!.

i also feel bad because i have been receiving subtle hints from my hubby that he may be leaving me.

we have been married for 24 years, have 4 beautiful, intelligent children (one is no longer with us), we have been though troubles, worries, the death of our darling claire, money problems - you name it - we've been there.. now - because i have different religious views to him, he doesn't think he can associate himself with me any longer.

((((((((rebel))))))))

I'm so sorry. I'll never understand how people can put their devotion to an imaginary friend ahead of their love for a real, tangible member of their own family.
