Should I make a stink about this or not?
by merfi ini've been working at the same hospital since 1991. a jw chick is hired this past january.
the hospital friends have been and are my support system as well as my 'team'.. a nurse friend played stupid last week and talked to the jw girl.
the jw asked her what religion she was.

Another Newbie :)
by merfi init's hard to know where to begin, so i'll just... begin.. i had my first encounter with jw in high school when my now ex-husband moved into our small town.
(you're doing the math already, aren't ya?
:) ) after finding out he was a jw, i did a little bit of reading into it, which he discouraged... told me that that stuff is "apostate" (i had no idea what that meant) and that he'd give me stuff to read.

An elder's wife added me to Facebook and msn.
by merfi ini da'd in feb 06. hadn't heard a word from any jw since then.. about a month or 3 weeks ago, i emailed an elder to ask if my 15yo was still on whatever publisher list it is now.
when i left, she had just been announced (i think) an unbaptized pub.
so i was curious about her 'status'.

Were you a nodder?
by merfi inyou know.... one of those jws who nods slightly in agreement with a point the speaker makes?
i've seen this lots at assemblies etc but we do have a local nodder; we call her bonnie bobble-head cuz she reminds me and the kids of the bobble-heads for car dashes.
heehee.

When you left JW, how did you help transition your kids?
by merfi inmy situation: i da'd this past march.
the ex is still jw, in a city nice and far away so isn't able to give me any local grief.
i have three kiddos, 8, 10 and 12. the 8yo (boy) could really give a crap, i think.
