We laughed and we cried.....she is leaving Friday.
by LyinEyes inyeah , my sister and i laughed and cried all day yesterday, because friday she is leaving my home and moving hundreds of miles away.. i am sure you have read wanderlust's love story thread, the love of his life he speaks of is my sister ginger.
she is three years younger than me but for most of my life i was more of a mother to her than our mother was.. it hurts to think that she physically will not be here.
but i am so glad that she has found love and happiness with donnie , again.

Young JWs-living a lie
by Jez infor the past year, i have been observing the jw kids that i know.
i am in a unique situation as i work at the local high school, therefore see many of them on a daily basis.
let me tell you, 80% of them are totally undistinguishable as jws.

The sad thing about this is that these young boys grow up to be elders, and once elders forget what they did in their youth and disfellowship ones that have been caught doing exactly what they have done in their early lives.
Yes a bunch of hypocrites they are. Hopefully the majority of them will be smart to get the hell out of that cult before it is too late.

I have the naval piercing and do like the nose piercing with a very small diamond stud.
But the wierdest one I saw the other day on the news was that girls are getting piercings on their back, done like in two colums with about four rows so they can lace ribbons crisscross through it, when they wear an spaghetti strap evening dress so it looks like part of the dress, really disturbing looking as far as I can say.

Hey Lyineyes no need to worry.
Our oldest who is now 25 started off my little girl with pretty dresses, hair done in bows, you get the picture. Then came the rebellion side of her, we were still in the borg at the time, were having a hell of time with her, she was way into the goth style, the dog collar with spikes, the whole nine yards. Now she is a grown woman, put herself through college, has a degree in food management and orders her clothes from Victoria Secrets. She's turned out to be a beautiful, responsible woman with a very responsible boyfriend.
Our 15 year old daughter has her own flare and style, she doesn't go with the trends, she'll dress up, she'll dress down. She doesn't care what people think of her. You have to take her as she is type of attitude. Which is great, she doesn't worry about what people think of her. But she is a proscrastinator that drives xjw and me nuts! And her bedroom is another story. clothes and stuff strewn everywhere. I just have to shut the door.
Now our son 13, is another story. Very artistic, deep thinker, problem solver. A pleasure to have around. But we do have our difficult moments with him, as he can be obsessive, probably becuase of his artistic way. I have a couple of nicknames for him, "Pig Pen" as a dark cloud can be over him, and to get him to clean up is almost impossible. The other is "Jethro" as he has grown so fast lately that he fits mens size 11 1/2 shoes and he's become big and awkward. He too doesn't care how he dresses, trends don't seem to lead this kid. He has his own way about him.

P.S. every kid seems to be a new learning experience.

I was about maybe 11 years old when this happened. My Dad was renovating our home so the door frames were not finished yet. I had a habit of watching my Mom put on her makeup in the bathroom. This time I had leaned up against the unfinished doorframe when I attempted to slide down into a squat position, I ended up with two slivers the size of toothpicks going through my pants and into my butt cheeks. It was the most excruciating pain.
My mom said I'd have to go to the hospital and get them taken out by a doctor. I said no damn way am I going to let a doctor see my ass. So my Dad ended up with the job of getting them out.

For all those cat lovers out there. As far as them eating string, it's pretty dangerous. We had a cat years ago that died from ingesting string. What we hadn't known was she regurgitated it and it wrap around the back of her tongue, with both ends still in her stomach. By the time we realized what was wrong with her it was too late, The vet tried to save her.

Funny you should mention this. But just last night I was eating my supper, and I saw a dog hair in my supper, rather than picking it out I just ate it.
Now if it was in a salad or somebody's elses plate in the family I would have picked it out.

Rose, a big welcome to you. Wow your one amazing woman to come out of that religion, with a load of kids, educate yourself and still have your sanity.
Your story brought many memories and feelings back that I too have lived, the guilt you feel, you feel like the one losing your mind.
I too am basically a jw orphan my side of the family is still in, but by husband and his family are out. My father-in-law just told my husband the other day, that he loves me like his own daughter, which was great to hear, but my husband's response to him which was funny "Oh great, Dad I've married my Sister".
Anyway, yes it is great to come out of the jw religion albeit with a few scars, but coming out you find true friends. We've been out for 10 years now, and the friends we have acquired over these years have been awesome. True friends without conditions.
