  Okay...more background: I attended the wedding with my 2 legal aged beautiful daughters.

  My niece C originally told her mom that they were only going to invite JWs and so she wasn't going to invite nonjw aunt LS and family. C's mom LL told her she could not do that. She did not want to be put in that position so that's how sister LS and nephewJ came to be invited.

  Now to the wedding: my sisLL mother of the bride and closet alkie (I love her to death but just stating common knowledge) started "self medicating" well before the wedding. She was a nervous wreck and 30 min.late . Wedding was held up waiting for her. Aparrently the invitations said 4:00 but her daughter told people, 4:30. Mysis LS and J had spent all day yesterday and today helping LL get ready and decorating the site.

  So I guess they were not good enough to invite at first but okay to do all the work.

  They did a great job btw. The ceromony and reception were held in the motel. For some reason alcohal was not allowed in the actual reception but you could go to the bar to drink....which is what we did.

  Little s is took my daughters and I to the motel's bar. We had not eaten all day.

  We ordered some food and drinks. We started talking about the wedding and she mentioned how preachy it was. I opened my mouth and mentioned how the prayer was like another sermon. Then I looked at her and said maybe it was just me but I didn't think it was appropriate to mention so dead woman in the middle of a wedding ceromony. (Btw if he was going to mention the grooms dead mom i think he dhould have mentioned the bride's brother who died last year. But I didn't say that part.)

  My little sis looked at me with her mouth open in shock and started to laugh and say I think we should get you another drink!

  My s is LS said jws weddings are so strange. I told her at the reception what a loving sister she was to come to an event where she obviously felt uncomfortabe to support her sister. I wanted her to know I understood it was difficult for her and acknowledge it. I don't think I would have understood myself if it weren't for the posts on this board.

  I know she doesn't agree with most of jws teaching but put her feelings aside. How many jws would do that?

  We noticed a young man(okay my daughter noticed him) and asked about him. I was curious because he had a nicely groomed beard. I told s is LS that he probably wasn't considered very spiritually strong because he had a beard. She thought I was joking. His name was W. And I found out later he was studying to be a nurse.

  He and his family are cousins from s is LL husbands side.

  Actually both the mom and dad are cousins. Am to drunk to explain now.

  We invited W for drinks. We had a blast. He was hilarious.

  More on that later.

  Okay bear with me here. After the wedding we went to the bar twice. Once before the reception and then afterwards. Forgive any typos. It took me 3tries just to get the op.

  Recap: my middle sis LL and her family are practicing JWs . My little s is LS and her family are not. My family...2 daughters and a son and a jnon jw husband are not. I am mostly physically out and working on the mental part.

  LL's daughter C had her wedding tonight. It was not at a KH but a brother who was accually C's grandpa gave the wedding talk and performed the ceromony. He used the standard marriage outline.

  My little s is and nephew J mentioned afterwards how uncomfortable they were during the wedding talk. My little s is turned to me and asked why do JWs hhave to turn everything into a sermon. She and her son were kind of twitchy through the whole ceromony. I think they were trying to resist the urge to flee. During the prayer I kept my eyes open and saw her discomfort. I patted her arm in sympathy.

  The prayer was long and another sermon. The groom's mother had died a few months ago. The prayer brother brought her up and mentioned how we were looking forward to the reserection. Blah blah.

  More to follow. I'll get to the drunk part in my next post. It was hilarious. I'll tell you all about the corruption of JW WP.

  am reading coc at the moment, about half way through.

  just finished reading some of the details of what happened in malawi and mexico years ago.

  which reminded me that in the early 80's a very well known elder in the country i was then living in went to new york as he had discovered all the discrepencies between what had happened in malawi and in mexico and wanted to know what the gb had to say about it.

  Just checking in. Haven't heard from you lately. Hope all is well.

  Has anyone heard from metespy or knows how he is?

  I just started posting when I saw this thread 6 months ago. I was impressed and touched by the caring and concern shown on this board.

  I think of this thread from time to time and checked to see if there was an update.

  I still care.

  i was reading the forums over at ravelry.com and came upon one about knitting for fictional characters.

  these folks want to knit something for the characters in twilight, for instance, or tlotr.

  i was reading along, thinking what dweebs these folks are, and how they need to get a life, until someone mentioned she'd like to knit socks for mad-eye moody.. i sat right up!

  Did you ever knit that scarf? My husband crocheted a scarf for my daughter that looks like the ravenclaw scarf from Harry Potter. She is a big fan.

  Avoid Going back to the JW's - Educate Yourself about Mind Control

  by flipper in

  i've talked with some good friends on the board about this before and we seem to be in agreement : one reason ( among many ) that some disfellowshipped jw's go back and return to the wt organization is because they are full of uneeded guilt or uneeded fear because they haven't educated themselves about how the wt society uses mind control tactics to deceive them into thinking they have " nowhere else to go " .

  i understand that some dfed ones may go back to the organization for family and friends- however- it's an exrecise in futility because once you learn the truth about the truth you cannot undo what you heard.

  so some may just go back and live a fake jw life to appease family- but just think of how that can damage a person's emotional and mental health playing the fake jw game the rest of their lives !

  Thanks Flipper,

  I always enjoy your posts. You have been very encouaging to me.

  The first step was realising I was not really free and was not "in the Truth."

  I also was going back and forth into the Organization. I could not understand why it was so hard to stay in. I had nagging thoughts but dismissed them.

  I agree learning about mind control methods is a great tool to understanding the pull of the organization.

  Learning that I don't have to view my husband and children as walking dead, and myself as unworthy of living, has freed me. Now I just have to learn to live!

  i was a little nervous and a bit dazed, i think i will do better next time.

  he offered me the memorial invite, i told him i had jw family who would invite me and he got interested and wanted to find out more, so i told him i wasn't interested in the jw religion, he asked why and i said i find it too controlling.

  he thought i was talking about moral rules so started on about how jehovah doesn't want to restrict us 'blah blah', so i pointed out that i meant they're not allowed to read certain materials which is wrong if it's as true as they are confident of.. he then went on about how satan uses false teaching to manipulate us and so we have to be careful of what we read.
