I agree that life is too short to stay in a miserable marriage. Still I think before you throw it away you should get some counseling to try and work it out before you divorce.

I think that it can work but in your case you have way too many reservations for it to work out.

My mom took my son to KH after I told her not to
by unbeliever inreal shock i know that a jw would do that.
i found out today that my mom took my son to the kh behind my back when she was in town visiting.
he's just a little baby so he will have no memories of it.

Highlander,
In most states grandparents do have visitation rights if a court determines it's in the child(ren) best interest. I know the US Supreme Court struck down a law in Washington about grandparent rights calling it too broad but that ruling did not do away with grandparent rights in other states. In my case I am not too worried. It won't be hard to prove she is a nut job.
John Doe,
I was really furious when I wrote that. I am not going anywhere unless he allows my mom to see the baby alone. That would really be crossing the line with me.

Scully,
If she does serve us with court papers for visitation Ryan will turn on her. He's all for grandparent contact but no way would he put it in writing not even with his own parents who are wonderful and normal people. I so hope she takes us to court. It will ensure she stays out of our lives for good.

I wanted to post an update to this. A few days ago my mom came to visit and she wanted to see the baby. I asked her if she had learned to respect my wishes. She told me I was being unreasonable and that she would witness to my son. I then flat out told her she could not see him. She then went to his dad and called him. He was out of the country at the time so she could not go through him. Before she left she said she was thinking about taking me to court. I told her to bring it on. I hope she does take me to court.

Home Schooling - Yes or No?
by winnie inwhat are your opinions?.
it seems that alot of jw's are into this.. i think there is a time and place for this, ie if you don't have access to a public/private school.. it doesn't seem regulated to me.
my mother home schooled my sister because she couldn't be bothered taking and picking her up from school.

Most of the witness kids that I know that attended home school went on to get their GED and lack basic social skills. My son will attend private school.

Getting cut out of Mom and Dad's will
by journey-on inhave any of you experienced this yet....being cut out of your jw mom and dad's will?
i posted the following on another thread.
because of one instance that i heard about last year from a friend of mine, i am concerned that this may be something the society is encouraging and may encourage even more as the new private issue of the wt begins to be released.

A few years ago my mom cut me out of her will after a falling out and she told me she was leaving my part to the society. I did not give a shit and told her so. Recently she foolishly invested in her con artist elder husbands business. My brother and I had to bail her out of that one and we now own her house. The one that would have been sold after she died and my share would have gone straight to the society. Oh the irony.

My neices have myspace sites. They are around your daughters age. My sister makes them keep it on "private" where only friends can see their space and it does not list their exact location or the school they attend. She also does not let them post a picture of themselves in the main picture area where everyone could see what they look like. She also has their passwords. She checks it almost everyday. It's time consuming for her but she says so far the girls have not abused it.

unbeliever: When I first read you had converted I felt you traded in one high control cult for another high control cult. Understandable. I think it is a misunderstanding but an understandable one. I read your journal entries on myspace. Very informative reading from your prospective. I am friends with a couple of ex muslims and they don't have very many positive things to say about the religion. I would be interested in knowing their experiences.
There is not a lot to tell. They are friends I met in college. One was a guy and he said that his father was very abusive toward his mother and sisters. When he married a Jew they disowned him. He told me a couple of times the muslim religion teaches hate. He says his father is the type of person that would carry out an "honor killing" w/o thinking twice about it. He says he is happy his family disowned him and he would not have it any other way. He left the muslim religion when he moved here to the states.
My other friend hardly talks about what happened to her but I am going to assume it was tramautic because she always starts crying when anybody gets her to try and open up. All I know is her family tried to force her into an arranged marriage and she ran away. She is worried sick that her sister will be forced into an arranged marriage. After she ran away her family packed up and moved back to the middle east (Jordan I think) and she has had very little contact since. She is a Christian now and attends a Baptist church.
