Today - he is still my greatest friend and my parents will never know the wonderful, unique, unconditional man that I married. I will never regret my marriage, but... i feel that my parents (my father is no longer here) will always regret not being there.

It is their regret. My only regret would have been not marrying him.

It is your day - not theirs. Regardless... make it your day.

on friday smurfy went in for surgury and it went ok. when i got her home my dad called and was telling me that he was going to have the date of his back surgury changed.

when he got done talking about his surgury i told him about smurfy having surgury that day.

the bastard never even asked what she had done or how she was doing or if they could help out with anything.

My best to you and Smurfy. She seems to be a very unique person, wanting to go to your dads surgery after the treatment they gave her. She is the better person.

(((hugs)))

CALL TO ACTION: Write the United Nations!

by seattleniceguy in

most of us are familiar with the watchtower bible and tract society's association with the un as an ngo.

this fact has been confirmed via correspondence with the un numerous times, notably in a letter received recently by one of our own members.

for details and photocopies, see here:.

My Husband Just Thinks I am Being Vindictive

situation:.

my mom and sister came down in november "during thanksgiving" break.

my mom has been a jw since i was 1 year old.

Thank you for your responses. I was a little upset last night due to calling to check on my nephew and receiving "his medical report" from my sister (he was in a bad 4-wheeler wreck two weeks ago) and then being "brushed off and dismissed".

I would much rather prefer to have her eyes open to ?the truth? than to be vindictive. Being 3 rd generation everything at ?home? is JW. Her husband works for a JW. My sister-in-law has 4 sisters. All JW?s. Everyone she associates with is JW.

She is the one everyone goes to, to help plan weddings, baby showers, parties, graduations? Even if she began to have doubts I don?t think she would ever leave. She would have let her son die 2 weeks ago IF he had of actually needed blood. Blood was mentioned and she told the doc. under no uncertain terms, absolutely not.

I believe 99% that she has not ?confessed? to the elders. I don?t think I could ever call the elders and say ?did you know??, nor could I call the husband and say it. But I know that I could ask her if she has ?confessed?; to let her know that I know that she isn?t as perfect as she perceives.

I could let her know, that I know, of her hypocrisy and ask her to show me where forgiveness had to come from the elders and not from Jehovah. Ask her to prove to me in the Bible that a body of elders are the ones that have to be told and have to do the forgiving. Then maybe from her answer, ask another question. And so on and so forth? Never really blackmailing her to research, but just perceiving that it would be a possibility that if she didn't, i would tell.

My Husband Just Thinks I am Being Vindictive

Mystery

Situation:

My mom and sister came down in November "during Thanksgiving" break. My mom has been a JW since I was 1 year old. My sister - her entire life. She married an unbeliver who is now a MS. A daughter (17 yrs old) that is pioneering and a son (15 yrs) who is not yet baptised; but soon will be.

During their visit, I assume, that "they finally decided" that i am an "unbeliever". I have been fading for 22 years. I will not return to this hypocritical religion. My mom, who has talked/emailed to me for the past 22 years has now decided not to take my phone calls/emails.

My sister, Ms. Holier than Tho, only talks to me regarding "illnesses or illness related tragedy" - so the WTBTS says, right?

So it has become evident to me that I am no longer in their lives except when it comes to "illness".

I guess, unofficially, I am DF'ed in their eyes. As it seems to me.

So the Dilemma is: (which my husband thinks I am being a total B.... about)

A few years ago; I know, for a fact, that my sister had an affair. Yes! Ms. Holier than Tho judging me now, had an affair.

I know I am very bitter right now. My "family" with their conditional love is basically disowning me. And I am not sure if I am glad that it is finally coming to a close or not. But I want so much to email my sister and simply ask her if she has ask the "ELDERS!!!" for forgiveness. Asking Jehovah doesn't count because she has to confess to the ELDERS!!!!

I know if this was actually found out that she would be publicly humiliated . I am typically not a vindictive person. I have been thru so much this past couple of years that I could not bear to hurt anyone. So why am I so enticed with badgering my sister with this info? Besides wanting to get the "last dig in" before they completely disown me?
