Ghost, get that jackass into court. End it. Make it tougher than hell for him to see her.

41JW Family...UPDATE! Please advise!
by Ghost of Esmeralda inmy ex husband just told me that he will continue to facilitate visitation between my child and my jw family who is shunning me (see my other thread "i didn't think they could find another way to hurt me but...") he says i'm the one with the problem and that i should be "ashamed of myself".
it's not like i thought he'd cooperate, but for him to stand there and tell me that he will allow my sister full access to my child and there's not a damn thing i can do (and probably, legally, that's right) makes my blood boil.
makes me just want to swallow every fricking pill in the house.

Hi Teenyuk,
I hope that it doesn't turn into that, either. I got a chuckle out of it!
How do you edit/delete posts? Seeing as I, and I alone am the master at sticking my foot in my mouth, and need to, on a daily basis, remove my foot from my mouth (incidentally calloused), how, oh how do you do it?
Thanks!

Why were 'LARGE GATHERINGS' bad?????????? when they sounded so good.
by BLISSISIGNORANCE inmy hubby and i were discussing this point the other day and having a giggle as we remembered the stress it caused some elders.. we got to thinking that there must have been some really good parties going on that we were not invited to because we never witnessed anything shocking or resembling debauchery.
we began to feel left out because the elders often did talks warning us about the dangers associated with 'large' gatherings, and they sounded like much more fun than the ones we had been too.. i mean, we went to parties where the elder organised bible characters celebrity heads, question and answer games based on bible events, no alcohol, and finishing up by 10pm.......(then we would go back to my place and have a good time).
we were invited to a 'large' group that met in someones house every sunday afternoon for 'kingdom melodies" sing-a-longs, but that was one large gathering we were never tempted to go to.. the elders' talks indicated that some people were having more fun than us.

Sorry - just a postscript.
I mean "Weren't ", as opposed to "Aren't". I am not one anymore. (Sometimes it still suprises me)
Also, I did go to the elders about my drinking one time, (sorry, ELDER, singular), and he told me not to worry too much - Was I intoxicated enough to be a "fall-down drunk?". The answer was honestly no, so he told me it was not going to be a matter for a judicial committee. I did try to make things right, being a good little boy. It bothered my conscience quite a bit, too.

Wednesday,,,,,
AM I THE ONLY BADASS HERE????
We partied soooo much. I remember all those parties - drinking, puking, yada yada yada. We were at parties where there were like over 100 witness kids all wrecked - one time we went to a costume party and a girl dressed up as a "sexy nurse". She was wearing like nothing over her panties....
One party people were "stage diving" off the 2nd story loft into the crowd below.... complete chaos!
I usually went to a friends place, where we would all get tanked, like about 20 of us, listen to loud music, and generally goof off. They never, ever questioned me, but some of my friends did get questioned and sanctioned by the elders.... oh you bad little boy... we would spank you, but can't. We'll just say you can't comment anymore, ok? We'll take away your 'cough' privlege
Arent' there any more "badass" people out there like me?

Jesus Disfellowshipped?
by shamus indid you know, for those of you who try to talk us back into your "religion" that you are assosiating with apostates????
did you know that you are going to die at armageddon for questioning the wts and coming to this website?????.
you can either confess your sins to your elders, and live, or keep quiet, and die.

Yes - it is funny!
By doing so, he is going to die, if you believe the WTS. He even makes silly comments like I am not Jesus Christ. -

What is funny, is they just don't get it!
by Sprocket ini wanted to pass on a recent experience i had.
my mother passed away a few months ago.
the funeral was poised to be a sensitive issue since, when i left the truth 4 years ago, none of my children (all adults and still active in their faith) have spoken to me.

"This is how you will know ... if they have love between one another...."

I tried to light a watchtower, and it didn't burn!
by freedom96 inlast night, as i mentioned on my last thread, i suprised my wife with a watchtower i had found.
well, we didn't want that garbage in the home, so i decided to burn it.. i was waiting to hear screaming and howling, to prove that is was demonic.
but, instead, it would not light.

Why did KISS look so hard-core, and have such wimpy music anyways?
I was made for lovin' you babay, you was made for lovin' me....
They sucked.
And, who in their right mind believes the stigmata put on them - KNIGHTS IN SATANS SERVICE. Give me a break! We used to be out in field service, and joke about bands and what their names might mean. How about AC/DC - After Christ Devil Comes. GIVE ME A BREAK! It meant Alternating Current / Direct Current, like electricity???? Witnesses are soooooo lame.

Being your own best friend!
by LDH intonight while reading sheila m's post about thunder's parents not even saying anything nice to him when he got his book published, put me in mind of something i've been thinking for a while.. today, all you hear about is "self-esteem" this and "self-esteem" that---a lack of it causes everything from suicide to eating disorders and everything in between.
i believe concerned parents today are much more in tune with rewarding postitive behavior by reinforcing it through praise.. as a jw child, what special assaults on your self-esteem did you suffer and how did you deal with it?.
in short, are you your own best friend?

Boner,
Good point - I am happy in a strange way - that I did go through the WTS and believe their lies. It was a humbling experience to me - humbling in that I found that I was not this "perfect" person. I have a lot more sympathy for people.
I know that a point was made about "just getting on with life", and I know where you are coming from, too. There are people out there - NOT ON THIS BOARD - that feel sorry for themselves, and just keep looking back and whining their whole lives - oh boo hoo, I have low self esteem, that's why I do crack. I have a step-sister that is like that, and its just stupid. They just can't get themselves out of the gutter, and help themselves and blame it on their daddy dying 35 years ago. (A cousin of mine). Hopefully people won't get too offended by his / her remark, b/c I think that is what you were meaning.
It took years to like myself, and I still struggle with it b/c of my medical condition. However, I will prevail, and am certainly trying to get on with my life. I know that most here are too!
