Seabreeze, great story! I showed my mom (in the Insight book), how Jesus was not her mediator. She thought I made it up. When I showed her, IN THEIR OWN LITERATURE, the proof, she dropped the subject.

I just saw cart people! At Devils Lake, Wis. They were in an out of the way area, no one was passing by. I wanted to walk down there, my husband didn’t want me to. 🤷♀️

I’m surprised they continued with a lawyer in the room. I would assume they would just leave, and not meet with you unless you were alone. They are afraid of lawyers, and legal action.

Punky, I always read your comments. This last one touched me for you. I want you to know that I mention you in my prayers-even though we’ve never met. This is from a 60+ grandma from across the pond. 🙏😘 Hugs to you!

Bullied At School
by Lost in the fog injust curious about the rest of you.
i was bullied quite badly throughout my school years because of being a witness and not participating in religious holidays, sporting celebrations, assembly (worship), and the like.. it was mostly from other pupils but there were a couple of teachers who definitely treated me badly.
that was back when uk teachers still caned pupils or were allowed to hurl the heavy wooden blackboard duster across the room at them.... i still have ptsd flashbacks on some of those events even after 50 years!

Bullied by other kids, YES! Teachers, no, most were kind and understanding, they knew it wasn’t my fault I was being raised in this crazy way. So embarrassed once, in 1st grade, I knew I shouldn’t say the pledge, but I didn’t want to explain to the teacher, so I’d halfheartedly put my hand near my heart and mumble. Teacher kept me after class to “help” me with the words. (She thought I didn’t know the words to the Pledge of Allegiance). I was very embarrassed and tried to explain it. Finally I told her my mom would write a note, which she did. My mom told me she didn’t write a note the first day because I should be able to “explain my faith” myself. What I couldn’t verbalize, though, was the fact that this was HER faith and my dad’s, not mine. My childhood sucked, but I’m well aware from this forum that it could have been worse. For my psyche, though, not good. That’s why I vowed to myself that I would NEVER bring a child into the world, and raise it as a Witness.

Follow to previous post,re:My niece
by Captain Schmideo2 ina few weeks back, i posted this:https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6246845349625856/never-thought-would-see-this-my-family-circle.
so, in latest developments:there was a court hearing, in which a continuance was granted for two weeks, as my bil has pleaded not guilty.
which is, in my opinion, very bad legal advice from his lawyer.
