Well, my Dad shuns me, although to start with he kept changing his mind. One minute he would be over having dinner with me, the next he wont even call. He even has a 8 month old grand-daughter he hasnt seen yet! I believe he is missing out more than I am tho, so the ball is in his court... I literally havent got anything to say to him. Im not sure what stand to take- turn it on its head and shun HIM or just be there and tell him I still care about him and will always be there for him???

by greendawn inafter you got disfellowshipped or disassociated yourself were there any jws relatives or not that refused to accept the shunning policy and at least secretly (or perhaps openly) kept up contact with you?

Chavs. I hadnt heard of this expression until recently, previously I had called them 'Bazza's' and their girlfriends 'Shazza's'. The best phrase I have heard is 'Rat-Children'.
They are the ones that hang around outside off licences or other 7-11 type supermarkets, as well as bus shelters, any wall that can be sat on and fish and chip shops. They are all across britain, especially in larger cities. They dress in a combination of replica sportsware- a baseball cap is crucial, and cheap gold jewelry. They are in their prime during their teen-years where bad acne and 'attitude' complete the package.
Traditionally they listen to 3 types of music- hard-house dance, r'n'b and rap. If their giro can stretch to it, they will drive a cheap car with expensive modifications. eg. where the car stereo is actually worth more than the vehicle itself. This car is capable of 2 speeds- 0mph and 60mph. They like nothing more than to be noticed by screeching around their council estate with music blaring, in their "tricked out ride".
Usually they are very aggressive and look to cause trouble 'for a laugh'. As has been said beofre they are an under-class and generally not nice people. You only really see younger chavs, because by the time they reach their mid-twenties, they will be in prison.
Just an observation........

My ex is like this with our children. I say that, I think she has gotton better recently, but it used to be awful. The kids didnt know what to think when i was looking after them at the weekends, it was like they were brainwashed for 5 days before i had them again! Fortunately they knew me well enough i think to realise how much i love them. I just wouldnt dream of doing the same to my ex.
