Have a stiff drink, think of all the great things you can do in life, and decide to do something positive for someone else. Your parents will cool off over time.

Farkel,
You are a breath of fresh air!!!! I love your humor.
I already started and sold a second business to carry the cost of the first one.
It's more than the business. I have to share a building with another business which is owned by a JW. I am shunned and treated poorly on a daily basis. I so despise the JW thinking.
When I got married, it was kept secret because I would lose contracts which would have meant a loss of money. When my marriage was found out about, I did lose a contract.
The whole thing is crazy. It is just to much stress anymore.

I am so tired of the struggles in owning my business. I am tired of the stress and pressure put on me by trying to please everyone else. I want to shut down the company, but if I do, there will be a lot of financial debt I will have to take responsibility for. Bankruptcy looks more and more appealing. Bankruptcy would also cause a financial loss to a very dear friend.
I don't know which way to go, and I really don't have any goals. I just keep doing the same thing every day. I think I am avoiding a decision I should make. I don't know what steps to take to shut down. And the worst part is that there will be employees not receiving their final paycheck. This is affecting me a lot. I have had on going migraine headaches and my neck is killing me, and I'm not sleeping,lack energy, and so on and so on.....
I know I have to be responsible but I am tired of being responsible. I thought I could pull the business out of this nose dive, but I'm not so sure anymore.
I can't talk to my husband about this. He is one of my employees and he will not get a paycheck either. This is all a long, long journey that I just want to be over.
Any suggestions?

Hey, I saw a sign at the fair that said "NO JEHOVAH WITNESSES" I almost bought it. There was another that said "NO RELIGIOUS FINATICS"
Anyway, If you don't want them to come around you can just post it on your door.

Are you still a pacifist?
by wasasister inlast night, i found myself wondering aloud about something i never thought i would consider: purchasing a gun.
previously, i had very strong anti-gun sentiments.
i felt, and still do to some extent, that freely available guns in this country are an immediate threat to children and add to the violent perception others have of americans.

Wasa,
Lets make this a team effort. I have a gun. I want to purchase a new gun. I also want to take a training course, and go to the shooting range to practice on a regular basis. Since we live so close, maybe this is something we can do together. As you handle a gun more, and find your comfort level, you can make a better decision regarding the right choice for you. To carry or not to carry.
I was raised handling guns. But for 20 years I never touched a gun. Now it will be like learning all over again.
Lets take a Saturday, go to some gun shops, ask questions, become informed and then take the next step.

To speak or not to speak !!!
by jurs inhere is a question for those who are either df'd or da'd.
what do you do when you run into a jw at the store ?
do you turn your head and pretend you didn't see them ?

O.k., O. K., here's what I do, I wave like crazy if I see them when I'm driving by or when they drive by me. I smile and say a very freindly hello, and ask how they are doing. I am not df'd. I have just stopped going to the KH, and associating. I have to work with them, and it is so funny to watch them try not to talk to me when we are with other people.
Some JWs have just walked away from me when I tried to say hello, and the fellow worker has called them an "asshole" for being so rude. It is very enteresting to see the reactions of those not affiliated with the org., when a JW acts so rudely.

It's all a matter of politics. Whose going to hold out the longest. And who can prove the dirty deed, since there has to be two or more witnesses. The whole thing is very controlling. I'm so glad to be no part of the Org.

Thank you Expat. I didn't quite know how to put it in words. As far as You and your wife Ray, the Org., is so fickle, she might just get away with it. I think it would be a techiical question of who got married first. Her or him. Then the other is free to remarry because the X was adulterous!!!!

No, they would not be df'd. They would not be free to remarry until the other commited adultery or remarried. So, a JW can seperate or divorce but cannot remarry.
I know, I have been through it twice!!!!
