  My two children are two out of the three best things in my life... the third being my husband... but having said that... the only times in my life that I considered ever not being with my husband were in the months after my kids were born - having them added so much strain to our marriage.

  You talk about having everything all planned out... sorry girlfriend - things dont always go according to plan... trust me (and bobby)

  Are you ready to deal with not celebrating their birthdays?

  As Minimus said - this is really not a decision you should be getting advice on from a mostly anonymous internet forum... but then again you knew that when you started the thread didn't you?

  Any actually embarrased to admit they were Witnesses?

  by Robert7 in

  2. friends

  when i was active, i was always (usually) proud to talk about being a jw, our faith, reasons for our stupid beliefs on birthdays, x-mas, etc.

  now with everything i'm going through, given how much of an impact this is to my life, i want to talk to others about it, like coworkers, and other friends.

  but thinking about how i would explain how it's a mind-controlling cult, i feel stupid for falling for it.

  It depends who I am talking to...

  I was always embarassed to say that I was a JW, and I rarely told anyone. I now only mention it if it is relevant to the conversation.

  i am a bit of a yo yo dieter - i have been dieting ever since i was a teenager, and my role model for this was my mom of course.

  in fact one of my very early memories of going shopping with mom and her buying a diet shake mix.

  well... i have a little girl who is almost three and i have been thinking about things and i really need to break this cycle of crash diets, losing 5 kgs and picking up 10 once i have lost motivation.

  Women being in subjection...a sore subject

  by milligal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was raised jw and of course the whole theory that a man is the head and the woman must respect her husband and be in subjection to his authority was ingrained in me from a young age.

  my mother, (oddly enough) chose the jw religion, dragged my father in kicking and screaming (he later served as an elder for 17 years) and she complained constantly about men being in control and her pains as a woman in subjection.

  now, i already have a good idea about my mother's problems.

  I know what you are saying Milligirl and I agree wholeheartedly. As a kid, growing uo in the borg, this always irritated me and I could never understand why girls and women were inferior and not worthy of any position of authority.

  The funny thing in my family was that whilst my Mom would always "defer" to my Dad as the "head of the home", she was definitly the dominant person in our home. When it came to money - she was the boss (if I asked my dad for something he would tell me to talk to the "minister of finance"). If it wasn't for my mum always pushing, my dad would probably not be an active dub.

  I didn't post lost week as I had nothing exciting to report (I actually picked up 0.2 kgs) but I am pleased tp report that it shocked me in to action, resulting in a loss of 1.6kgs this week! This brings my total loss to a grand 7.6 kgs... I want to see if I can hit the 10kg mark by the time my mum in law gets back from NY in two weeks!

  How Do Your Worldly "Relatives" Handle JWs at Family Reunions?

  by jamiebowers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recently i read a post that said exjws in a particular family could not attend family functions/reunions even with "worldly" relatives because of the jws in the family.

  i can't remember what thread it was on, but i didn't reply, because it was off topic of the thread, and i didn't want to be a highjacker.

  last year i organized a family reunion on my jw mother's side.

  My JW family attend all reunions with the non JW part of the family... no issue there. Mostly I would say that the non dubs just roll their eyes in irritation when one of the dubs starts getting a bit preachy... that one dub is usually my mom, who is a pain in the ass and finds any opportunity she can to give an incidental witness or whatever it is called nowadays!
