How Much is Shunning Worth?
by Xena inmy jw niece called me last night on the phone.
she is having a pampered chef party (for those of you who don't know what these are, it's like a tupperware party except they cook a meal and sell the cooking stuff).
it is going to be at my jw sister's house and all the dubs will be there....including my "best" friend who ratted me out to my sister regarding us celebrating christmas last year.. i am not invited....but my niece would like me to buy some stuff and to make up for shunning me she is offering to give me her hostess discount....woohoo huh?.

YES, MAKE HER CRY, THAT WAY YOU'LL KNOW SHE IS NOT DEVOID OF FEELINGS. SHE OUGHT TO CRY FOR THE WAY SHE HAS TREATED YOU. SHAME ON HER .
AND IF YOU CAN'T MAKE HER CRY, DO A FIVE FINGERED DISCOUNT. THAT WAY SHE'LL HAVE A REASON TO CALL YOU IN THE FUTURE !!!!!!!

Rebound Relationships
by onacruse ini really don't know where to start with this....it's so personal, and i'm so confused.
when i left bethel, i was a basket case, and married my first wife while i was still in mental/emotional limboland.
i loved her from the bottom of my heart (as best i can imagine what that means), and meant what i promised "till death do us part.

Hey Onacruse,
When I left my wife of 15 years I was also a mess. I didn't know who I was, I got married young at 20. So I knew I had to do some exploring. All theses questions and thoughts I had needed to be answered. I went out with several woman and realized that they were totally different than my ex-wife ( that was cool ). It took time but I found out more what I didn't want than what I wanted. I Did this for about 5 years, had a lot of fun, weird experiences, ect. No more questions, they've all been answered. It took time but I found what I wanted and I didn't settle for less, So now I live with my best friend. There's nothing she doesn't know about me, we'll get married when it feels right. Don't worry, figure out what you want, take your time and NEVER settle for less.

I remember
by ivoryroses4u ini was 13 at the time that my only brother and his new wife introduced jehovah's witnesses to my family.. it was christmas time and we as a family were coming together to celebrate as we had done for as along as i could remember.. my brother said that him and his family would no longer celebrate and that we could discussed it at a later time... i was so upset.. my brother throwing away something that was so important too me...well i needed to know.. so my sister-in-law took me to my bedroom and showed me where we as christian shouldnt celebrate a holiday that is not of god.. again i was so upset and confused..... later the blood issue came up..my mother and father was upset by the thought that if anything happend to my niece and nephew that they would go to court to make sure they were taken care of.. and i told my mom why shouldnt she find out what they are being taught and then she would have grounds to fight if she had too...3years later my mother and father became a jw.... i struggled with this.. i never felt worthly of jehovah and his love.. i was so bad of a teenager.. so into the world.. how could he love me.....at 16 i was hooked on cigerettes and wanted to quit... i went to my parents and they went to the elders of their congregation.... one of the elders agreed to speak to me.. wheni went to the meeting i poured out my heart to this man.. and what he told me is that he could use me for time because i wasnt baptised... i was so hurt and turned off .. that it took many years and tears before i could get over that insult... years pass quickly.. and i am now in my 30's .
i just came out of an abusive relationship and was then practicing wicca... i was in a battered woman shelter.. and met a woman of the christian faith.. .
she gave me a book that talked about spiritual abuse.. here i was feeling abused and used and this book told me because i wasnt sharing god with my children that i was committing spirirtual abuse against them.. i got so scared i called up the local kingdom hall and started a study with one of the elders wife.. it didnt take to long to quit smoking and dedicate my life to jehovah... i was bapitised 5 months later and my oldest daughter bapitised a month after me.. life was great.. except i still felt as if i wasnt doing what i should for jehovah.. i was being told that i needed to get off welfare.. get a job.. when i did.. it was with a store that had catholic backing.. because it was tied to the beast.. i was made to quit as not to stumble a sister.. my daughter was working the field for 40 hours a week.

Hey PandaJ, Hang the info. on the kindom hall door. Don't worry about ruining his reputation with other people. His reputation was ruined the first time he inapropriately touched a minor.

Dream of Going Back
by professor ini awoke from sleep about a half hour ago from a dream in which i returned to the witnesses.
i had become so upset from losing my family and friends that i decided to return and seek reinstatement even though secretly in my heart i did not believe (i was trying to fool the elders).. i awoke from the dream with illusions of actually following through with this idea.
it took me about 5 minutes to arrive at reality.
