((((((((((puppylove)))))))))
I feel the same way you do. My husband has relatives who are filling in the gap, but it is not quite the same. This is my first year celabrating the holidays. I was DA back in Aug. So my family has turned their backs on me. But I'm actually finding that is better for my own family. But I do see those tv comericals, and all the family love that they show. I'm not trying to rush my children, but one day when they grow up, and have their own families. Having them to come to my home. Oh what joy. But that is a long ways off. They are only 4 and 6.

by Tammie ina couple of weeks ago, we get a phone call from my husband's aunt.

Just an update. My husband called his aunt to tell her what happen when he called his grandma. The aunt was very angry, at her mom (his g-ma). To make a long story short. His aunt has been going to the memoral (at the KH) for many years with her mom. Now because of how g-ma treated my husband, she does not want any thing to do with the JW, and won't ever go to another memoral ever again.

A couple of weeks ago, we get a phone call from my husband's aunt. She tells him that his JW grandma (g-ma) wanted him to call her, and she promised him that she would not shun him. We've both dissocated ourselved back in August. But yesterday was the first time he got a chance to call her. This is how the phone call went.
grandma (g-ma)- "Hello, who is this?"
D. (my husband)- "Hi, grandma this is D., aunt B. told me that you wanted me to call you."
g-ma- "You know better than try to talk to me. You left Jehovah." CLICK! (She hung up the phone.)This is really bothering him. Normally he lets things go. But this is really hurting him. And the thing is that when he is being affected like this, it really hurts me also. Right now I feel like going over and .... well I better not say. But I am peaved. He works the grave yard shift, and I got a phone call from him around 1:30 am. He sounded so sad. Later today he is going to call his aunt up, and tell her what his g-ma said to him. What really bugs me is that some of his JW relatives are telling such lies, just to make themselves look good. I am glad to be away from such a lieing, slandering bunch, JW relatives to be exact, that I wished I walked away ALOT sooner. My mom told me that I am dead to her, that is until I come back to their orgization. HA!! This is just pushed me and my husband even further away from the WTBTS. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER again will I put myself or my children threw that hell ever again. I'm sorry to rag on, but I feel like screaming right now. But with my children asleep, I don't think that would be such a good idea.[>:(][>:(][>:(][>:(]

it's great to be free
by javagal inwell i promised myself i wasn't going to let my jw parents in on what the borganization is holding back from them but i did it today anyways... i couldn't stand one more minute of their "wonderful" religion and how terrific it all is so i said that i was watching the news (this forum is quite informative - could be called news :) ) and then told her the entire story about the un and the jw's involvement with it.... but of course she can't believe that and if it is true there must be a reason for it.
i said i couldn't think of any reason to be part of the "disgusting thing"....that was completely true i didn't tell her that the disgusting thing was the wtbts not the un... so anyways long and short of it is that she is going to have to wait and see if it is tru.
she is certain the watchtower will explain why very soon and if not it doesn't matter she knows that she is in the right organization.

I have several relatives who are also JW's. I got to have my say with my mom once. But every thing I said to her was the same as bouncing a rubber ball of a brick wall. They remind me of as the bible says "a lamb being led to slaughter." I honestly think that the the WTBTS told them to jump off of a building they would do it, or even worse.

I'm right and your wrong. Now shut up and stop your crying, or we will just have every one shun you.

Class Action Lawsuit
by mikepence ini am seriously considering finding out what is involved in putting together a lawsuit against the wts.
one that all xjw's in the us can join in.. has the wts not violated our civil rights, taken away our right to choose, without bias, how to live our lives?
were not our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness violated?

What about people who was under the legal adult age? I was 17 when gotten baptised. I know that there was a lot younger. I know that a legal contract is void when a miner sighns it. And many of those young people are forced into baptism by their parents or other relatives. For example my husband was told to get bapitsed or he would be kicked out by his dad.

I don't know if this is a funny name. But the story that happen was funny. Was at a kingdom hall building project. There was 2 brothers talking. One was an older white man, his name was Young, and the other man his name was Blackman.
Brother Young asked, "What is your name?"
In reply the other man said, "I'm Blackman."
Young said, "I did not ask your skin color, I asked for your name." Blackman replied, "That is my name." -

Why Algebra is not for Christians

So anything that keeps a christian awake at night is EVIL, EVIL, EVIL... eeeewwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeee. lol. It's from the Devil. I guess they better stop having those babies. You sure don't get any sleep when the wee one comes along. Baby goes to sleep, but when mama tries to lay down, its like they are alerted to when she tries. And to make matters worse, waite till they get older---worry worry worry. And then your back to that no sleeping bit. (Please don't take this seriously, it is almost 3:30 am, I get a bit ditzy when it is this late.
