before she can though she needs my dad to admit to adultary.
they've been divorced for years but he has never remarried and has no plans too.. she says she's in love with a widowed brother but before they go any further she wants to be scriptually free.
she called my dad and asked him if he would help her out and he laughed and hung up the phone.
I'm sorry your mother has brought anxiety into your life. I understand your feelings of anger. I agree with SimpleSally that if she is encouraging you to encourage your dad to commit adultry, she is very wrong. If one did believe this was the true religion, I would think it is close to commiting the sin herself, since it is in her heart to want him to do so. But that is just my opinion of course. If he has given her reason for a scriptural divorce, it might be easier to just let her know and get her off his back..HOWEVER.. I also can relate to not wanting to help her either if she has been so difficult. I know I was in a situation where my soon to be exhusband would never commit adultry but he was a fraud.. and liar and a million other a$#hole things and I left the JWs and am living with someone. I will admit that I have not run down his door to let him know he can keep his head high at the KH and is free to ruin some other woman's life. But that is the bitter me talking because I really hate him, something I never thought I'd feel.
Any way... I think it sucks what she asked of you. You should not be put in the middle.
on ozzie post i noticed this statement from blondiedoes anyone remember the days when an unbaptized person was "disassociated".
i was of the impression that kids who were brought up in the "truth" but had not been baptized would still be da'ed if they were caught doing something against any of the many rules.has this changed???.
could a local congo still practice da'ing even if head office had changed their policy??
I don't think legally they can do more to someone not baptized who does something out of line. Legally you have not 'dedicated your life to Jeh/ie in their eyes to the org) so you have not entered into a contract with them promising anything. That is why they can suggest you are not good association (i.e. disapproved associate) but not DA or DF you.
I'm trying real hard to follow this and finding myself feeling very 'blonde'. Some thing doesn't feel right.
what have you personally done to help people come out of the watchtower?
are you actively speaking to your friends and/or family about what you now believe?
were you disfellowshipped for speaking out against jehovah's witnesses?
I have done little to help anyone out. I know that if those I love that are still JWs really realize how I feel about the WTS, they would run like a bat out of hell to get away from me, lest whatever thing I have, if it is contageous reach out and touch them. I was talking to night to one of my closest friend, rare since I came out with my news about taking a hiatus and she was imploring me to come back. I tried to say to her, I don't know if this is really the truth any more (nicest most tactful thing I could say even though I feel so much stronger about it). She got upset that I have doubts and I said she has never doubted the society even when she was dfd years ago. I told her maybe that is it, maybe we were brainwashed and never thought to question it, since we were raised with it. I told her that was why it was important to me to take a step back and really seriously look at things. She ended up getting cut off on the phone and didn't call me back. I was fine with it, as I could see we were getting no where. She followed it up with an email later, sorry my battery died on my phone and added, it was probably a good thing, as she was about ready to start crying.. that is all I need.. tears.. to guilt me back. I'm keeping my mouth shut about my feelings. When you are a JW, sometimes you have to be ready for doubts.. those in my life are not.
saw it tonight.
seemed a bit hammy at times, but overall i thought it was very good.
when tom guiry's foot came down on the child's face, i was expecting the camera to cut away, and i was shocked when it didn't; half the theater gasped.
I don't think I could handle Mystic River. We went to see Master and Commander with Russel Crowe today (I mean yesterday). Enjoyed that one.
~~Sassy~~
i just came back from the montreal meet up.
about 15 people showed up and we all ate at a chinese restaurant.
jh, scully, her children, kaethra, guess77, his wife, acsot, saint satan and his friends, lapuce, sisterliz, her friends.
Very good JH.. it helps with a visual..
i was at my parents today for the first time in a while.
i noticed that they have removed all photos of my brother and i from the walls and furniture.
we are disfellowshipped.
I'm so sorry to hear that they are doing that. My guess is that they are doing it on their own. Maybe afraid what others might thing to have them out when they visit from the cong. How sad. That would hurt me. I know my mom will keep mine out because she always kept my sisters out even though she is dfd.
i have a small tree so i got a package of small ornaments that are about 2 inches in diameter.
when i bought them i did not notice that the tops do not have hooks like i expected, instead they have very small loops.
these loops are too small to slide on to the branches of the tree, so am i supposed to use little twist-ties or something?
I found out is the sprayed kind.. you know they look like they have snow on them.
Did I get that right Sally? And yes.. I finally last night saw the hooks when I was looking at all the pretty ornaments.I couldn't see them but my bf said.. there they are, and there they were at the lowest shelf below all the ornaments...
Oh my what pretty ornaments. I was like a kid in a toy store for the first time!! It will take real discipline to make myself wait for the after xmas clearance to buy most of the xmas stuff.. I want to have fun buying now!!!
Oh.. and Sally.. don't worry.. I would never even peak!! I am big on waiting till the right moment for things.......but I know I will have to watch jack(theblacknight)...... he isn't as trustworthy!! I will hide his present! As far as yours.. I can't decide what to get!!! This is so much fun!!
