thankyou so much for all the good wishes you have sent us in the last few days, trev has been printing up the emails, pms and threads, and bringing the cards to show me every day, and i get a lift every time i see him coming in with more of your lovely messages to read.. it's been a tough time for both of us, and it won't get any easier.

i am dreading chemo, to be honest, but i have to bear it, as i would anything that gives me hope.

but that's for monday, and i am going to enjoy myself as much as i can this weekend.

My mom wants me to go to memorial

by WANTMOMBACK in

ever since i can remember i have attended the memorial only for my mothers sake though.

i am not a jw nor do i have any desire to ever become one but i know it means alot to my mom.

although now i have been enlightened on many things about her religion that i do not want any part of and i do not want to go.

Do you believe that you are going to heaven? If so, then tell her the reason you won't go is that you believe that you are going to heaven and therefore you should partake of the wine and the bread. It offends you that they expect you to just pass it by. You want to follow Jesus command to do this in rememberance of me but you want to do the entire thing, not just halfassed.

Just an idea.

Good Luck.

You gotta love the rumor mill. I can't believe they did that. Stuff like that kind of happened to me to and I eventually disassociated myself to get rid of the harassment. I wish you the best and hope your wife will soon see them for the unloving people they are.

Oh, and WELCOME. Thanks for sharing.

i have been disfellowshipped for 7 years and my grandfather refuses to eat with me.

there teachings are to love one another but this is not the case.

does anyone else have this problem.

Welcome!!!!

I am disassociated and my parents won't speak to me, accept a phone call from me but will reply hurtfully to my emails inquiring about their health.

This is going to be a tough meeting for me

by truthsearcher in

i will be "studying" the chapter about the memorial with my local witness contacts.

as a christian, i find their teachings on christ to be nauseating.. i am looking for a chance to bring out the old russell books and ask them to clear up my confusion about a number of previous teachings.

if anyone thinks of me, and is so inclined, send up a prayer on my behalf for wisdom, clear thinking, and above all that the true love of jesus will shine through me and the spirit will open up some darkened hearts.. ts.

GOod luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That reminds me of when my father saw that my hubby had the Finished Mystery of God on the table and he said we needed to be careful because apostates distribute that book now. We were like uh no, I got it from a publishing company and the copyright is the old one, they couldn't have made any changes to it so it was still written by a JW not an apostate. Dad just said be careful and went on. Looks like that would have been the wake up call huh?

Check out this hypocrital conduct

by avidbiblereader in

last night was my oldest daughters birthday (22), we went out for supper with some friends and family, we went into the texas roadhouse where she serves bar and waits tables, they have this one thing they do for birthdays where all the servers sing, yell and clap, they also ask you to "saddle up" which means to sit on a saddle they bring out on wheels as they all yell and howler, real fun, though!.

well sitting behind us is a whole table of witness from my sister hall that i use to go to, mother with three grown kids (25, 22, 21) and their spouses, they watched and didn't say a word to me and wouldn't even make eye contact with me, oooh i am the bogey man.. well guess what they did after we left, they didn't know my daughter didn't leave yet.

saddled up two of their own, clapped and sang birthday songs..

Is it possible they thought you may be back in or trying to get back in and didn't want you spreading it around the cong what they did? Either way, it looks as if they are on their way out now, so they will soon regret any shunning. It would be classic if they read this and were lurkers.
