  I'd probley be a widow. Hubby told me that he was planning on sucide, after we left the JWs. They were making him feel very bad, and awful. What was his crimes you are asking? Earning a good living for himself and his family. He works the late shift at his job, good pay and good benifits.

  "Special Meeting" 4/27/03 ???

  my friend who is a jw happened to mention to me last night that there is a "special meeting" today, sunday 4/27/03.

  i know the jw do things in a lock-step, uniform way so i wondered if this is an organization-wide special meeting or could it just be a local one?

  is a local meeting that isn't in accordance with country- or world-wide uniformity allowed?

  Hello everyone. It's been a very long time since I posted anything here. Its been a very busy time around my house. This last Christmas I went in for emergancy surgary. They removed 2 hurnated disk and fused my back in those locations. I am still moving some what slowly, but at least with out the pain. Living with out pain is a wonderful thing.

  Then in January, my youngest sister came to live with me and my family. She walked away from the JWs. She just receintly dissocated her herself. Our JW relatives do not know where she is livng. It is driving them NUTS, big time. I think, no, I know it is because they have not got a chance to tell her off like they did when I left. (For those of you who don't know she is 23 yrs of age.) She is not ready to talk to them, she is one pissed off lady. She said she will, when the time comes.

  Any way they have been hurassing a friend of her's. So she ended up calling our middle sister (there are 3 of us girls) Learned that the middle one is spreading lies. So Emma, some of you know her, called up the lying sis. and really told her off.

  What is has come down to now is I am receiving phone calls from our JW relatives. (I know this because of the little tool called caller id). They don't say a word, they just hang up. Now normally this don't really get to me, but these calls come at an hour when we are sleeping. With recovering from back surgary, getting up and around for a ringing phone call that people do not say what they want is well lets just say I'm pretty close to giving them an ear full if you all know what I mean.

  The youngest I know of was 16. She was not baptized, when she had gotten pregnate, and parents kicked her out of her home. I was not around when this happened, but she and her husband works with my husband now. The baby that she was pregnate with will be going collage next year. The child has never met her sorry good for nothing JW @$$hole grandparents. Yes I also met the grandparents when I was a JW. If you all are wondering, she raised her child on her own. She only receintly married her husband last year.
