When you returned to your "WORLDLY" family how were you treated?
by wizedup inwhen we leave the witness "family" we know how inhumanly we're treated.
when some return, there is no rejoicing, clapping or undue expressions of "joy" allowed openly.
the gb wants a period of proving yourself worthy to be back in the "fold".

As a JW did you "take a turkey" or accept the Xmas Bonus?
by confusedjw ini felt it hypocritical to take a turkey abviously meant for thanksgiving.
i didn't like buying the easter candy after easter either as it was "food sacrificed to idols".. years ago at a place i worked they gave out a xmas bonus which i returned.
( a few hundred dollars which we sure could have used) they assured me that it was an "end of the year" bonus.

Yes, we did every year.
I would even send back thank you notes.. My ex would bring home birthday cake they would buy for him for his birthday.

I go to Court tomorrow for Sole Custody..... I'm excited but scared too!!!!
by formerout ini am writing this partly to get straight in my mind how i want to present my material tomorrow, since i am representing myself.
but i would also love any advice that you may have to help me (other than get a lawyer.... lol... not an option unfortunately).. my ex-wife and i got separated on april 24, 2003. i spent over $12,500.00 on lawyers just to get to see my kids.
she tried everything in the book to try to prevent me from seeing them, including lying to the police and having me thrown in jail for a night, calling children's aid on me 9 times, (all not substantiated), and most recently by trying to hire someone to beat me up.. we ended up having a settlement conference on june 22, 2004, from which twenty-nine different orders were made, including joint custody with primary residence with her, that my children were ordered to not go to the kingdom hall anymore, access times, support, not moving away, etc.

Another big issue that I have to get resolved is that she has, for the past year and a half, continuously emotinally blackmailed my oldest son especially into hating me. She seems to think that that is a good thing for him. If I was a not so-good dad, it would still not be good for him to hate his own father but the fact is that everybody else realizes (including myself ;) ) that I am a great father. I got an Affidavit today from her that said that I have grabbed my son by the neck and dragged him into my van for the visits. I cannot fathom how anybody can tell such an absolutely grotesque lie and use the Court System to try to keep him from me, but she seems to have little or no conscience.
grr, this just plain gives a bad name to women who are honestly seeking support! You seem like a very nice and loving father, and for her to stoop so low as to lie about physical force is beyond me!
No conscience is right! I hope so much that you get sole custody of your babies, because i know you will raise them better

Oh shoot Stef, I did that recently with a bbq grill. A huge fireball came flying out & burned all the hair off my arm. scared the crap outta me. My husband came flying over & I said "well, I won't be doing THAT again". Funny now, but I gave up lighting the thing ever again!
She kinda gave up for a while too, then got better each year.
Wanna hear the scary part? She managed the school districts cafeterias!

Well, my mom burned her eyebrows and armhair off the first year she did the turkey..
It wasnt funny at the time, but it made me laugh every year since..
Then there was the time, when my granpa decided to get a fresh turkey.... Fresh as in *it still has its feather fresh* Granny tried to pluck the feathers and the thing came to live in the kitchen!
We had sandwhiches that year.

Free Literature at the Kingdom Hall
by frankiespeakin ini was thinking for all you guys who go the kingdom hall even though you know it's not the truth,, in order to keep from loosing all your friends and family,, why not take advantage of the wt free literature at your kh?
i mean the wt is forcing you to go to meetings with the threat of being outcasted from your family why not put a little dent in their finances but getting all the free literature you can and not contibuting anything for it.
after all the wt is offering it free of charge.

But you're right, the time servant was the worst. When I stopped going he STILL CALLED! Every......DAY! I figured the more I told him I didn't have any time for the month he more he'd get the idea.
Yea, sometimes the bugger would call twice a day. He would even ask for my exs time report, even though we were seperated! grrrrr

however the literature servant guy was the one guy who was determined to hunt me down and do everything in his power to get me "my magazines"
Same thing here, the old guy would call at least once a day!
But then when it was time to turn in the time, the other old guy was worse! He was determined to get time from a woman who had been through hell, and hadnt attended meetings for three weeks.
