Bad Dream
by PoppyR in4am in the uk, and i was jolted awake by a dream about my mother dying, she is not in good health.
i felt overwhelmingly sad that if this happens, she will die in sadness over me.
and also very upset because she is my mum and i want her to love me and be interested in my life and that just isn't the case any longer.. i realise i am 'luckier' than some on here because at least she speaks to me.

I got a new job!!!
by PoppyR ini had to tell someone, surprisingly not one of my witness family were interested even though i am not dad or dfd.. i went for and got a promotion at work today, i worked hard at my interview and am delighted with my new position.
the only people that cared were my boyfriend and two very close friends i have made since leaving the org.
it leaves me tinged with sadness, but those are the breaks!.

My invite to the special talk.
by PoppyR inso my mother 'invited' me to the special talk today.. made me smile that at least she knows i would not be going otherwise (i'm not going anyway!).
she handed me the watchtower with the invitation printed on it and said i could keep it.
i just said thank you, put the wt down on her table and left it there.

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.

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.

i just dont know what to think about the whole blood transfusion issue.. it's a nhs site.. (for us etc, thats government health, not witness related at all) and seems to be backing up totally the wt thing about blood being dangerous.. i want some other opinions, it's one jw belief i dont know what to think about!.

My last meeting
by PoppyR inso last night we had the last book study at our house, next week all the congregations change around and i asked for it to be moved.
so i sat in on it, and afterwards we had a bit of a 'party'.
felt quite emotional really, although i haven't answered for a long time i put my hand up to read a scripture just so i could mark the last time i did this.
