  i have been lurking around here for quite some time now, posted a few short replies, and engaged in a little chat from time to time.

  its almost hard to remember, just a few months back, feeling like i was the only one to live through a jw experience and not be sorry that i am no longer a part of it.

  i am very happy to have found this site.. i would like to better introduce myself as i have seen several others do.. i was born in '78 to a fanatical jw mother and an unbelieving alcholic father.

  i was raised as a catholic.

  it used to be considered a sin to eat meat on friday.

  even for a little boy who was at the age of reason.. i remember very well the time when i was in the second grade about the age of 7 that i did eat a hot dog on a friday.. i knew that it was a sin but i ate it anyway.

  I've been out for 8 years and I've finally worked up the nerve to order the book too.

  I can't wait to read it. I'm ready now.

  i asked this in one of the threads ( http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=5335) but i would like to explore it further.. am i the only one to think this or did it seem like the sisters with unbelieving mates and children seemed to be "tolerated" or marginalized?

  they never seemed to be "full" witnesses to anybody in the congregation?.

  It always seems like there were a few sisters in the congregation that had unbelieving mates even a couple that were pioneers, but I never saw any extraordinary effort paid to those sisters to help them or to encourage them.

  Of course on the flipside, I can think of a brother that has an inactive wife that is a MS that is the gem of the congregation. Do you think that it has anything to do with the whole women are shit thing that the Society has?

  i think i remember reading somewhere here about how some poor df'd sister's car broke down on the way home from a meeting once and none of the brothers would stop to help.

  it made somebody ashamed, as well it should have!.

  here's a twist: the son of the local p.o.

  Interesting question. I actually feel that leaving has helped me make peace with God about death. If there's something more out there it's really up to him not me. Since I can't do anything about it, I'm not really afraid of death right now.

  Of course, I am still young and that may have something to do with it also.

  hello jang,.

  sorry i could not get your post again.... but you're right on this quote, and it is very sad!.

  How will they maintain control now? I don't see how. I think that there is going to be a power struggle or a power shift away from the GB who seem to be nothing more then what they say they are "spiritual figureheads".

  The real power in the corporations is now maintained by the various Presidents, Secretaries, etc. Just like a real company? Or just like a real company, there have been issued shares and the GB own the most shares, Jarez for example, thus maintaining control that way?

  I think I might have answered my own question.

  A history of Mother's Day
  By HOLLY HILDEBRAND

  Houston Chronicle Interactive

  The first celebrations in honor of mothers were held in the spring in ancient Greece. They paid tribute to Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. During the 17th century, England honored mothers on "Mothering Sunday," celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent.

  In the United States, Julia Ward Howe suggested the idea of Mother's Day in 1872. Howe, who wrote the words to the Battle Hymn of the Republic, saw Mother's Day as being dedicated to peace.

  Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia is credited with bringing about the official observance of Mother's Day. Her campaign to establish such a holiday began as a remembrance of her mother, who died in 1905 and who had, in the late 19th century, tried to establish "Mother's Friendship Days" as a way to heal the scars of the Civil War.

  Two years after her mother died, Jarvis held a ceremony in Grafton, W. Va., to honor her. She was so moved by the proceedings that she began a massive campaign to adopt a formal holiday honoring mothers. In 1910, West Virginia became the first state to recognize Mother's Day. A year later, nearly every state officially marked the day. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson officially proclaimed Mother's Day as a national holiday to be held on the second Sunday of May.

  But Jarvis' accomplishment soon turned bitter for her. Enraged by the commercialization of the holiday, she filed a lawsuit to stop a 1923 Mother's Day festival and was even arrested for disturbing the peace at a war mothers' convention where women sold white carnations -- Jarvis' symbol for mothers -- to raise money. "This is not what I intended," Jarvis said. "I wanted it to be a day of sentiment, not profit!"

  When she died in 1948, at age 84, Jarvis had become a woman of great ironies. Never a mother herself, her maternal fortune dissipated by her efforts to stop the commercialization of the holiday she had founded, Jarvis told a reporter shortly before her death that she was sorry she had ever started Mother's Day. She spoke these words in a nursing home where every Mother's Day her room had been filled with cards from all over the world.

  Today, because and despite Jarvis' efforts, many celebrations of Mother's Days are held throughout the world. Although they do not all fall at the same time, such countries as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia and Belgium also celebrate Mother's Day on the same day as the United States.
