Just a word of caution---my sister started babysitting for a single dad who was in the same "need a new sitter now" situation, turns out the old sitter was tired of never getting paid and also the dad was always really late picking up the kids. Hopefully this won't be your situation but thought I'd share

Have you ever researched your family history, any tips?
by restrangled ini have been researching on and off and just started up again for my dad.
i've gotten back to 1869 and could get further, but all i run into is adds to pay on line companies.

Its been about 7 years since I've done it but just want to mention that in addition to the Mormon website someone else mentioned, they also have records located in some of their local branches and allow anyone to come in and use them. I've gone to the large church/temple up on Santa Monica Blvd. in Los Angeles a few times and they have EVERYTHING you could think of. The smaller branch close to me has info as well, just not on the same large scale, but they will do loans between the sites if something you need is not at the local site...(again, its been a few years so that might have changed). Also, they have volunteers who steer you in the right direction and give you tips on how, where and what to search. I think it might be on their family history website where they have the free downloadable software program that is like a no frills "Family Tree Maker".

I will let you know what the reaction is from the JWs I am still in contact with. Wait...they have to read it first don't they? Never mind then, there won't be a reaction.

Live your life freely and out in the open. Let them see with their own eyes that despite what they've been brainwashed to believe, ex-JWs can and do live Happy, fulfilling joyful lives.

Do you get joy out of doing your own yard work?
by restrangled inthe heat index here in orlando is currently 105 degrees, but being the bull dog type i am, insist on mowing in this heat.
it will take me another 2 days to trim out, and get any stray stuff done like brown palm fronds etc.
this is my 3rd break on the first day, my face is bright red and am sweating like someone in a gym.. i find great joy in a beautiful lawn, nicely trimmed out, beautiful trees and flowers etc.. on the other hand i am mowing in my light short cotton nightgown which looks like a pretty t-shirt but is lighter weight with a pair of jeans.....my husband is cracking up!

Thanks r. for the offer of links when I am ready. Im glad to see some of the areas you mentioned are exactly where I was planning on looking. Lake Mary specifically or Sanford. Your comment about the machete will definitely be taken into consideration when I am actually looking lol

I also enjoy doing my own yard work. I like to sit back with a cool drink when its all done and looking pretty. I don't think I could do it in jeans in that kind of heat though lol Here in CA I usually just wear shorts to do my yard work, unless its winter. I plan on moving to the Orlando, FL as soon as my finances allow, hope I can afford a nice place with a yard there.

What Did You Hide From Others While You Were A Witness?
by minimus ini see that some here were actually "in the closet" while they were witnesses.
some kids practiced "fornication" regularly but the only ones who knew anything about it were other youths that would never tell about the secrets.. some marriages were simply horrible.
but no one would've ever had a clue.. was there anything that you ever concealed from the elders or other witnesses that would've gotten you in trouble?.
-
lies all lies
I hid the fact the I thought most of them were completely lost in space, even though they were really nice it was a "creepy" kind of nice and totally fake now that I know the truth.

? for those still attending meetings
by littlerockguy inbefore i quit going to the meetings just before they announced that someone was to be reinstated they would ask that the congregation not clap due to the seriousness of the situation.
i thought it was so pathetic.
do they still announce that now when some one is reinstated?.

Is it common for DF'd people to come back? I remember back when I was studying (I never got baptized) there was one person who I knew who got DF'd and she went to some meetings but then wound up leaving again...Im sure it was due to the stupid shunning that went on. She was a customer where I worked so I still talked to her even though she would tell me I shouldn't. It always made me sick because my best friend at the time was leading a double life herself and SHE too shunned this other person. (her dad is an elder and she has never to this day been DF'd although she is more "worldly" than most worldly people) I always thought that shunning would have the opposite effect of what the JWs wanted, I know there is no way I'd go sit in the back and have the people that once "loved" me look right thru me until some stupid BOE decided they could love me again! I've known of 2 others that were DF'd and neither of them have gone back either. I kind of wonder if most who are DF'd wind up staying out.
