my ex (jw) told my two youngest 9 and 11, your dad.
wanted more kids, meaning them.
we had two older.. how would a child feel after their mother tell them, i really.
My daughter has cut me off from her and my grandson because I went behind her back and found out she was using the money she borrowed ( and never paying back) for illegal drugs. I told her no more money ( After giving her a few hundred a day or two before) when her water was going to be cut off and so she cut me off after telling me she wished I had put her up for adoption and I was the meanest person she knew..Children can hurt parents too.
Been a year now since she cut me off...

my husband is gravely ill sedated and on a ventilator.
he most likely isn't going to survive.
we are not disfellowshipped.
I'm so sorry Annie, I went through that in 2003 with my JW hubby. Only thing in our case it was a completion of the Assembly hall apartment.They were in a hurry because the Overseer was coming to live there..They had to finish it and had no time to visit hubby. Hubby wanted to die at home and we only lived less than 5 minutes from the Assembly hall..but it was still inconvenient.
When Hubby died he wanted me to sprinkle his ashes on the flowers at the Kingdom Hall. I still haven't to this day.
Big hugs for what you are going through, my heart goes out to you and your family.
Snoozy..
omfg.... .
i keep coming across these shows...what are they doing to their poor kids?
mostly i am refering to tat, which is guilty of glorifying the screaming and yelling at, as well as physically hurting of kids.
RE Dance Moms..It was good at first but now they seem to think bickering between the mom's will sell the show..not so. I quit watching it. The MOMS were getting out of control..while the kids watched and cryed most of the time. What kind of example is that?..
No thanks..
T and T..watched the first few episodes and the more they dressed the kids provactively the more I didn't want to watch it anymore..

i just read this in our local newspaper this morning and thought it is very interesting.
this law is aimed at door to door marketing by companies but i am wondering if this may end up including religious 'sales persons'.
the comments below the story are worth reading as jw's and religious callers are definitely who many people want stopped under this new law.. .
If they continue to knock on doors..I wonder if taking any literature they offer and NOT contributing would discourage them from coming back. Maybe take the literature each time they come and say thank you and close the door..I bet after a while they would stop coming..hurt them in the pocketbook..
Course on the other hand I knew some that did this just so they could say they placed magazines..even if it cost them or they placed older magazines. The society comes out ahead no matter..as long as someone pays for the literature they are happy.
Snoozy..who knows that no law will stop them from coming to your door..

In one part of the show, speaking of her new hubby Jay Tucker, said he never celebrated Christmas..(My ears go up..lol). He used to be a Jehovah's Witness. I tried to find some info on him but no go..sure would like to hear his story of why he left.. Yep..
She is writing a book..I wonder if she will include info on that.

just wondering for those that go forcefully or want to twist the knife, so to speak... that would be funny to watch... ;).
Childish....
What would be accomplished? It would just strengthen the JW's belief that all apostates are idiots..give them a good laugh.

i have a friend, she has been my friend for over 20 years...in that 20 years i have seen her reasonably regularly.
i visit her, she visits me.. the thing that has started bugging me is this...... when i visit her it is normally in the daytime.
i stop in for a cuppa and a chat.
Have dinner earlier..later just have a light lunch type meal..or dessert..
They say it is better for you anyway to eat your heavier meal in the middle of the day and eat light in the evening..
If you continue to feed them you could say lightly "Next time we can have dinner at your house, I'll bring desert this time.."
for those who know some spanish.... .
a friend just forwarded me this (spanish) youtube video a few minutes ago... it's basically a tv news report about a rape/murder that occurred last august (2011) in mexico.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?nr=1&feature=endscreen&v=4fk4ngb9muk.
apparently, a 16-year old jw girl was lured into a kingdom hall (by someone who had the keys) and then raped and strangled to death.. the reporter starts off by saying that the police have strong leads, but i have not been able to find much more info about this on the internet.
How awful..I wonder if he was a registered pedophile by any chance..
I think they should change the two witness rule because now they have DNA..or is that considered a second witness?..
Also shouldn't God have forsaw that the world would be developing new things and the bible laws would be outdated eventaually? He should have had a disclaimer in the bible also.."This bible verse is subject to change.." Upon discovery of DNA this verse about the "Two witness rule" will be null and void..
Another JW nutjob strikes..how many more are left?

google criminal justice (withholding information on crimes against children and vulnerable adults) bill2011.. http://www.alanshatter.ie/?p=2559.
A witness girl I know in Australia told me that one of the elders read a letter to their congregation saying that they were to report any cases or suspect cases of child abuse to the proper authorities..no exceptions.
The thing I found interesting was that the elers daughter had been sexually abused in the same congregation..
I often wonder if the letter would have been read had it not been the elders daughter that was abused..

i am just wondering what is the legality of obtaining your own personall information once you have disassociated yourself from this organization.
smiddy.
My post must be invisible because after I posted two links two more people felt the need to post the same links..
Makes you not want to even bother. I could understand if there were a lot of posts but.....*sigh*
