few weeks ago, i invited my jws daughter for a formal dinner.
i asked her to bring her closest jws friends, including an elder from her kh.. i let her know that i didn't have any hidden agenda on my part.. that i just wanted to have a good time with her and that i wanted to honor her friends.. she asked me how many she could invite; i said no more than six.. she invited three.
like i said, including an elder.. my husband cooked a delicious meal for them... but just two days before the event, i started to get 'cold feet'.

5 years removed from being inside the indianapolis assembly hall of jehovah's witnesses, 4 years from attending a meeting at the kingdom hall, this morning my girlfriend and i walked into the assembly hall.
we were taking an early morning walk in our jogging clothes in downtown indy.
she asked if there was anywhere i'd like to go.
Coult9056,
Wow, I'm impressed! Congratulations on your journey on earth. Now you'r not longer waiting for Armagedon. I'm so happy for you and your girlfriend... I hope my daughter gets out soon, so she will mourn less. Harmony and peace... keep on posting so we can be informed. Thanks for sharing.

the memorial was held last night at a community center about 15 km away from the kingdom hall.
as a df'd person, i always feel more uncomfortable if the memorial is held at a location other than the regular kh, as i would otherwise know my way around where to sit in obscurity, as well as arriving just as the meeting is about to start.. well, i decided to come a little bit earlier (although not too early) - then walked inside the community center and suddenly i was standing in front of the wide entrance where practically everyone was gathered in order to get a perfect view of who were entering the hall.
needless to say, i felt like an alien, someone who did not exist at all, yet when i gazed into the eyes of many of the ones i know, i noticed that they were secretly looking at me and then quickly turned their heads away from me.
You guys, I have been warning you! do not feed Yardif; I suspect he is yoyomama, Ernesto all along. He never post to congratulate when someone shows love for one another between us or between our family mambers and friends.
Stop posting back, he is a troll, you guys!
Richie, I admire you courage and I'm with you, hope things get better for you, remember: "time is our best friend". Love and Harmony,

Think41self, thanks! I'm just a mom. And I'm willing to learn. But I don't get the 'sayings' from the posts from beans,doc_jedd and sunscapes. I hope I didn't offend any of you.. I apreciated your replies, but be patient with me when it comes to jokes. Sorry, I don't even laugh I wish I could.
Bluesbrother, I'm glad to hear from your experiences. Love to all,
Yadira

Kep, I'm glad to hear from your experience as well. I didn't mention in my post, that I told my JWs daughter that as a mother, I keep them both my daughters warm and close to my heart, united in their mothers love; so that because of it, regardless of her desition to shun her sister, LOVE WILL THRIUMP AT THE END.
Heaven, huyyy!!! thanks for calling me mother, it is so neat... Happy Easter!
Latte, I will try that fudge recipe, blessings.
Biter mango. that is a good fruit from my Country, Costa Rica.
Thanks terafera for posting. I guess Beans consider himself a fruit, but is a bean... unless I didn't get it as usual!
Happy Easter to all, and I'll be back... I'll have my house full today.
Harmony,

She invited three. Like I said, including an elder.
My husband cooked a delicious meal for them... BUT JUST TWO DAYS before the event, I started to get 'cold feet'. Why? because I realized I was going to get a sharp knife on the back of my daughter, Bluesapphire, since her sister was shunning her 'big time' and she was been very sensitive about it, and so did I! The thing is, I wasn't telling Blue about this invitation, which make matters worse; so I talked it over with my husband, with my daughter, the one I live with, whom I take care because of her brain tumor. They both told me, "don't cancel"... my husband offer me to cook, so I wouldn't be to stress out.
I thought about all the threads I have read from all of you on this blessed forum. I recalled especially the ones that when I have read them in the past, I understood it was good for JWs to spend time in a regular environment with the "worldly people" so they can start thinking, "after all, the worldly people are not monsters".
The day of the dinner I was calm and happy. We all received them with an open heart. We laugh and laugh and we were all very silly telling anecdotes to each other. We embraced, we shared, we played. And we prayed before dinner at the table. I offer my daughter's friend to help her moved to her new place and she looked very impressed by me asking to help her move.
They left very content and the following day, my JWs daughter called me to thank me and she said her friends told her what a genuine love we showed them... and I owed all to this forum... what I learned here is invaluable, and I want to thank Simon and Angharad for their sacrifices, so that people can live a peaceful life among themselves regardless their differences...
Only two weeks ago, I confronted my JWs daughter with her shunning her sister; we talked for an hour and we both cried a lot. It was very deep and touching "just a motherly thing asking her why she chose to make me so sad". So, that gave me the peace of mind I needed to face my sweet Bluesapphire.
Love, and keep this board clean of hate. Instead, love, love, love and more love.
Your friend,
Yadira
