i don't think she has posted this yet.
mulan called me yesterday afternoon to tell me her dad had suffered a stroke.
i did talk to my dad last night and he seemed to think that grandpa was going to be ok. i had a birthday party with nine little girls all afternoon and was completely out of touch as a result.. i think she could use a hug, don't you?.

my youngest son had his last exam today.
that gives him a good start at high school don t you think?
sending him to private school has sometimes been an economic struggle for me,but we had an agreement: i pay without complaining and you bring home the good grades without complaining.we both kept our promise.
My youngest son had his last exam today. Another A+. That gives him a good start at high school don´t you think?
Sending him to private school has sometimes been an economic struggle for me,but we had an agreement: I pay without complaining and you bring home the good grades without complaining.We both kept our promise. I´m so proud of him.For about 18 months he missed so much out in school because of the brain tumor thing and later on his broken leg,and yet he comes home with straight a´s.
We went to the fjord and walked with the dog,discussing his plans for his life.I know he´s going to be a very good doktor.And you bet this momma is going to give him a great party!!!!
But that´s not all.The big boy has just called me and told he´s got his PhD. Working and studying-I respect him so much. You bet I´ll give him a party too.
Sometimes life is to good for words.
The sun is shining,peace all around and we are so happy

for those of you still married to a jw...have you ever felt like you were living alone even tho there is a person on the other side of the bed?
i sure do...he has this whole "secret life" and all his jw friends and jw relatives and wont have anything to do with my friends or my relatives, even tho most of them never were jws....so we dont do anything together as a couple.
i mean zip.
I´m with Francois on this one....leave the selfish bastard and get a good life on your own.This isn´t good for you or the children.
I know, I was there myself once.Life is soooo much better without a "man" like that.

i know us men aren't the most clever people on earth but sometimes we say things that are meant to be a compliment and we get slammed.. my ex-wife was saying once, that she thought her hair was getting thicker and i, in my logical way was trying to figure out if this could really be true.
i then thought about the fact that she had recently lost wieght and without thinking any further i blurted out.... "your hair is not getting thicker your head is not as fat.".
this is a true story.
When I came to Denmark I didn´t speak a word of Danish.In my (danish) husbands company there was a man who alwys referres to his wife as"saurian" in Danish "øgle".I really thought it was her name.Why not, there were so many other names that sounded strange to me like Tove,Bjørn,Askild or Bent.
One day this man´s wife came to pick him up from work,and I wanted to be nice to her so I said Hello, how very nice to finally meet you Saurian.The deep silence that followed made my face turn red.I knew something was wrong but WHAT??
The woman first gave her husband a dity look, and then said to me with ice in her voice my name isn´t Saurian it´s Gitte.
Well, how was I to know?

i have personally had experience with this.
a long time friend committed suicide because of her husband and the problems they were having.
he abused her and ended up leaving her, the elders wouldn't help out much stating that it was a marital problem.. she couldn't cope with him leaving, she was extremely dependant on him, she felt the only way out was suicide.
Dear Dede
I´m new here but have read the sad story about your mom.I´m so very very sorry for both you and her.Your poor mom who couldent stand the pain anymore and you who must be so very strong .
Being a mother myself I can only say:make her proud of you.I wish I could say something to make the pain go away for you, I can´t,I know,but please know that my heart is with you and I have you in my prayers.
I´ve lost a dear friend in the same way because of the WT.He was the sweetest man you could ever meet and he was gay.That´s why he thought death was better for him.No help to his family,very few to his funeral(and that after all he had done for others) It´s so tragic.
To me the WT is like a mother who eats her own children.

there are many reasons why we choose a username.
on this forum, aside from some of the more obvious names associated with our avatars, what does your nickname/username mean or refer to?.
some are first names.
Viktoria because it´s a viktory to leave the Borg and all it´s filth behind.

our niece, irene, who posts here as inky, sent me an email.
her 27 year old son is getting married in two weeks, and she posted a few days ago about how he didn't invite her to his wedding.. she told me i can post it as she doesn't want to read it again.. "dear mom.
i've needed to write this letter to you for some time now.
((((((((((((((((inky))))))))))))
So very sorry.
You are in my prayers.

what happened or was said, that made you decide, enough is enough, i am out of here ?????
?
I had so many doubts all the time,but I was afraid of armageddon,afaid my boy´s would die and I was responsible for them.The lack of love,the hypocrisy,the cliques,the lies...Last year when my son was having terrible headaches,they all thought he was a hypochondriac. On our holiday to Greece I had to take him to hospital,the flight back was a nightmare for him (and me)One day it got so bad that I drove him from school right to the doctor,where my son threw up and almost fainted.We were sent home and a doctor came to our house every 3 hours,they thought that it might be a brain tumor.I sat at his bed all night and prayed like mad for God to save my child. My boss is a jw.I called her and told her how ill my son was so I had to take a few days off to take care of him. This sis is the newspaper of the cong. so they all knew what was going on.Not one came to see him or called us to hear how he was doing.Ever. A few months after this my son broke his leg and had to lie home with his leg in a special frame to keep it elevated.Not one from the cong came to see to him.Ever.
Today the boy is healthy-it wasn´t a tumor.Thank God.
When we after the group study had a cup of coffee a sister asked what he was going to do after the holidays I told her that he was going to do high school and then, just like his big brother,university.He want´s to be a doctor. There fell a deep silence.Then the sis said "that´s a long study" After that he was NEVER again invited to social gatherings for the youngsters.
My son is over it and can say with a grinn that he´s going to enjoy their faces when the see him as a doctor.
These were the things that made me look for answers. I wanted to find out why I was so unhappy with being a jw,what could I do to be a better dub? I went on the net and typed Jehovah´s Witness ...and here you were allof you
Every thing I had been struggeling with,and thought I was me who was wrong,was told by somebody here. Halleluja! I was not alone.And it wasn´t just me.
Thank God for the internet.
And by the way,my son has a+ on all his exams.After missing so much school I find that so fantastic.

125 years of the watchtower, and women are still considered garbage.. they cannot give talks, have a position in the congregation, cannot lead a study when a man is present, give a prayer etc etc etc etc.......... they can be of the annoited class, but a man who is a ms, still has more say !!!!!!!!!!.
to all the women on this board, did this ever bother you as a jw, and does it bother you know ???.
how can women sit at a meeting and in a round about way be treated like garbage and accept it ????
aaah, when I say the were in their 70 s I don´t mean the children.....

I have always hated the way the WT is against woman.When you are a single parent (woman) you are all in one, mom,dad,carpenter and so on you work hard go to school meetings sit by the sickbed of your childeren take care of your old parents + the dub thing,you know, meetings FS, assemblies...but get no respect.
When a man is alone with a child,the dubs(sisters!!) respect the poor soul,all alone with a child or two, we must help him with everything, -and in no time he´s remarried.This strong man.
Haven´t you ever seen a sister becoming very ill and the single sisters hang around just to grab the man as soon as she is gone?I have seen it twice in my old cong.One time the poor woman had only been dead in 3 months before he remarried-it was hard on his kids.(and they were in their 70 s!)
When a woman is alone,you are only usefull for the work others "have no time" to do,cleaning the hall,helping the oldies,FS and do not forget: donations.But they do not like you to speak your mind.Well,like Bliss (hallo Bliss) I did it anyhow,they told me it would be hard for me to find a loving brother because I was to outspoken.Ha! If I had to live as the wife of one of those braindead dubs I would start dating out of my species!
How in the name of God can they keep women down the way they do?
