Needed: Emoticons for Important Things!
by JanH inwe've all seen the smileys, some of which quite useful for expressing emotions and getting across what would need lots of words.. however, we lack emoticons for what is discussed in -chat most of the time (and quite often on this board as well).
here's a few suggestions:.

Someone has a one-track mind! Not calling any names. Starts with a "J".

In my never-ending task of trying to get my niece out of JWS clutches, I have good news.
Just a brief history. My lifetime JW mom raised my niece from the age of 9 due to my sister's alcohol and drug abuse. Stephanie was baptized at 12, due to pressure from my mom and other sisters.
At 16 my niece ran away from my mother. Caught the bus to Chicago and moved in with my brother. Turned into a wild child. Drank Southern Comfort for breakfast. Went all Gothic. Did LSD. Smoked pot. Pierced her nose with a safety pin. Partied every night.
She moved back to South Carolina and got married. Calmed down a lot. Had a baby. Started getting abused. Husband on cocaine. No food in the house. She turned back to the brothers for help. Decided she wanted to be a witness again.
Started sending me all types of literature. 20 page letters about Armageddon. New books. Then she left her druggie husband and went to Ecuador, where my mom is a missionary. She got back about 2 months ago. Called me. Everything down there was just peachy!! At least that's what she said at the time.
Well, I happened to mention to my dad that I was compiling lots of info about the witnesses. Copying page after page of pix of Russell's grave. Info from this site. Randy's site. Silent Lambs info. And all I could find about the WTS being part of the UN. Sorry, guys, but I copied LOTS of posts from here about the UN. I may not have posted much, but I was damn sure reading it all and copying...copying...copying!!! It ended up being over 200 pages. I told my dad I was sending them to her. (He despises JWS-since his and my mom's divorce, he calls them family wreckers).
Last week, I got a phone call from Stephanie. My dad was at his condo in Myrtle Beach, visited her, and found out she was attending meetings again. In one of his fits of anger against the witnesses, he told her I was sending all this info to her. (I'd asked him not to). So, she called my mom. Told her all about it.
She said my mom started screaming at her on the phone!!! Telling her she BETTER not open the envelope!! To throw it away immediately! (Damn, you'd think it had Anthrax all over it!!!!) My niece said she was shocked!
She said the next day, she got a call from my aunt in Atlanta (another lifetime dub, and wife of my anointed uncle.) And that SHE started yelling at her. Telling her NOT to dare open it. That it was all apostate material!!I waited...holding my breath, (thinking the worst, of course..she would tell me NOT to send it!) to see what she would say. She said to please send it all. Because she was pissed!!! She hated anyone telling her what she could or could not read. She said if your mind was so weak that you couldn't read facts and decide the truth for yourself, you were just a robot. And she was having lots of doubts anyway ever since she returned from Ecuador.
I asked her why? I got the whole story. It was like a flood-gate opened up. She wanted to tell me all this before, but was so into getting back in with the witnesses, she even lied to herself.
First comes the story of why they go to other countries. She said she heard more than one sister say, it was so cheap to live there, she'd never come back to the states. They get some type of allowance. They don't have to work at all. Rent is 25.00 per month. Food is very cheap. She said that she always thought missionaries had it hard and did without. Not true at all. According to her. And she said (not being sexist) that most of the missionaries are unhappily divorced,over 45 jw sisters. And they sit around and talk about finding nice Spanish brothers.
She told me that they are mean and crabby to each other. And there was one sister who was very timid and shy. She said they all ordered her around. And she heard my mom scream at her and call her stupid because she hailed the wrong cab. She said she wanted to cry she felt so sorry for her.
Then comes the story of the visiting elder and his wife. Who leered at my niece at the book study. And afterwards kept brushing up against her at every chance he got. Stephanie said she told my mother. Who said it was all her imagination. My niece said she knew when a man was flirting with her. And my mom told her she better not talk against the elders. Stephanie was furious. She told my mom she didn't care if he was Jesus, if he was wrong, he was wrong!
So, she is reading all my literature as I write this. And has called the UN. She got a visit 3 days ago from Sister Appleton. She said the sister was very rude! Asking her why she was even thinking about this "UN" matter! (Of course, you're NOT supposed to THINK!!!) She told the sister to leave her home. If she couldn't act civil. I'm SOOOOOO proud of her.
She is finally starting to think for herself. And I think it's dawning on her just how hypocritical they are. Or maybe she's just finally getting the guts to say it!! She got to see it with her own eyes. Little do my mom and aunt know, everything they did and said backfired on them. I'm so glad she went to Ecuador. Even though I tried so hard to stop her. Sometimes things work out for the best....
waiting....

the shadow lurkers
by msil inthis was the first house i ever knew...when mom came home from the hospital...this was it.
i waited all those months to get into this world and come and live here...a peaceful home.
i had some toys and spent my days learning to ride my tricycle and then progressed onto learning to ride my beautiful blue bicycle which dad had brought home as an end-of-year gift for me.

msil, my heart breaks reading your experience. I want to hold that child and get rid of all the evil! If only...if only....
The witnesses talk about a "great tribulation". People like us have already been through ours! Andee, Leslie, Cassiline, so many, many others. To come through all this with love still intact, is the mark of a true warrior...
