Should I stay or should I go
by PoppyR inso... i haven't stepped foot in the hall for about 6 months and have had my 'invatation' to the memorial.
i had previously decided that i would go if asked, to make my family happy etc.. now i dont know what to do, because if i dont go, it's clear to them i am not half hearted about this and have made my decision.
one side of me almost is interested to go, to see everything from a new light and i have two children who still attend intermittently and i want to be the one to take them if they are going.

Blinded
by PoppyR inso, i discussed with my husband about 607, showed him the un website etc, and he basically spun round 3 times like taz, and is now just back to saying.. yes there may be mistakes but it's still clearly the truth etc etc.. i'm torn between being frustrated because i know he can see it, and being glad because if he wants to do it, then all well and good.
i quickly realise that unless people are ready and already questioning, there is no point talking to them about the mistakes and lies etc.
it's getting really tough with my kids, because they are asking me questions about jehovah etc that now i want to give them a more balanced viewpoint on.. never in a million years thought i'd be part of a divided household, and if i ever did.. that it would be me that was the one not 'in the truth'.

Spinning wheel
by PoppyR inso.. i told my family something at least, ie that i was taking a break, my older brother who is an elder, emailed me and said i was not seeing things clearly because i was not recieving the spirit and in the middle of the organisation.
i understood what he meant, but replied by saying i could flip that around and say finally i was out of the spinning wheel i could see things without the blurs!
i mentioned to my husband about 607, in turn, and i think stupidly he asked an elder and another pioneer brother if they could explain it to him, the elder (who is one i'm very fond of) made such a hash of it and ended up saying it was one of those things we would need to wait until the new system for to ask those that were around!!!

Bible and animals
by PoppyR ini am trying to find an old post i know i've seen on here a year or two ago about the old testamant and how cruel god was to animals (i specifically remember it talking about horses being slaughtered in a very cruel way).
i think it was a link to a web page about it.. thanks in advance.

i dont have to get ready
by Ellie in.
even if you have been out for a while, does it ever hit you that you don't have to get ready and rush out to a meeting?.
i just looked at the clock, its 18.30, if i were still in i'd be screaming at the kids now to get ready for the book study, but here i am, not even made dinner yet.. life is good!

Conspiracy theories
by PoppyR inhubby just got back from the meeting, they have put a list up of new groups and who is going where.. so rather than try and remember it he took a picture with his phone camera.. the presiding overseer then calls.. says hi to me, but that's it (has said nothing else to me since i stopped going) and asked to be passed on to hubby.
then told him he must delete the picture because it was against data protection.. i am very familiar with data protection laws in the uk and know this story was utter rot, so think that asking hubby to delete the picture might be something to do with me not seeing it... am i just being paranoid!!!

Children and exes..
by PoppyR inshort background, i am seperated, ex is still a witness, but very weak, all my family and his very devout, i allow my younger brother to come once a week to study with my two boys 11+12.
which you might think is nuts, but i want more than anything to give them choice, and not to be in direct opposition to their father or other family.
youngest son is a nightmare in the study..lol.

Assimilation
by PoppyR inwas reading todays day text and it made me snort out loud (not attractive) it's talking about satans world and how we must stay away blah blah blah, but the best line?
"we must stay awake because satans world is ready to assimilate any who become spiritually drowsy".
