hey there.

i'm new to the forums and just had to say hi, and thank you to all of you who've shared your stories which have let me know finally and for sure that i'm not crazy and nowhere near as abnormal as i've been feeling...well, forever, really, but more so over these last few years!!!

i can't tell you what a good feeling that is, but i suspect you already know.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY Love Others?

think about it---witnesses proclaim that their identifying mark is love.

they are the "most loving organization in the world".

they personify christ and are the only "true christians".

over the past couple of weeks, i've learned a lot about myself and those around me.

life might suck, but life moves on.. mom's grip is weakening, prob.

because she's getting tired, or because she's beginning to realize how things are.. not everything i have done is admirable, but its done.

i work at target.

back in the good ole' days, witnesses used to come in all the time to see me.

i would say that there were maybe three or four families that came in regularly.. since the announcement was made though, i've had at least 35 diiferent people come in.

here i sit, in my public library, typing away a computer from a hot nasty seat.. but i wouldn't be anywhere else in the world right now.

(okay, maybe a couple of other places).

i have to be at work in 40 minutes, and its a 15 minute drive from here, so lets not expect a novel of a post.. yesterday was my birthday, and they did a little cake thing for me and all that which was nice, but otherwise, nothing is new.. my mother seems to be cooling off, but lets just say that the "excrement flinging fan" hasn't been turned off yet.. i'm 18 now, and nothing is different.

My daughter has to call her 'mum'
by katiekitten in

im sorry i havent been on the forum for ages.

but like the prodigal son i have a problem now, and i would really appreciate some help and input.. i found out at the beginning of the week, by a slip of the tongue from my daughter, that she has been told by her dad to call his new wife 'mum'.

daughter is 8, and on questioning has said that she feels she might get told off if she doesnt use this term.. i initially phoned her dad to ask if this was true, and he told me she uses the term all the time and 'its none of my business'.
