Need Help, Hubbys Mad at Elders and I Need To Get Info for Him...
by cognac inhubbys brother is not baptised and faded.
another girl in the cong - same thing.. they just announced both of them as no longer bap't publishers.
from what i've been told, that's not just an announcement to just let the cong know they don't put in reports- it's like there d'fing them or marking them or something.. anyways, in order for elders to do that, they are supposed to at least attempt to meet with the person.

Could you suggest a better way to word this to mom?
by New light for you ini'm trying to figure out how to word what i have to say to mom, and i'm just not cuttin it.
here's the story...came in the "truth" with mom, i was 13, she was going thru a divorce.
she's convinced to this day that we would have no relationship if it wasn't for the fact that we found the witnesses.

wow whitman.
That was beautiful. espically the last line.
And the sentiment is great. Yes, making her feel confident that i'm not going to try to change her.. then she can be confident with me. that's great!
Thank you!

Why a woman can't read the Bible Lecture?
by outofthebox ini mean, it doesn't even make sense for the jw crazy rules, since she is not teaching anything, just reading the bible!!

I wish i had a p****.
then i could rule the watchtower.
Dammit.
I NEVER understood why we could have talks and give demos if that wasn't teaching, then why were we doing it? I know we talked about that many many times, all us sisters. Either follow what you believe and dont have sisters do anything, or just let us do what we do best at... talk!!!

Thank you Whitman and Sass,
Those are great ideas... i like the "i'm stumbled, i'm going to wait on jehovah" kind of answer... i could do that... i dont know how tha'ts gonna work when we have my daughters birthday for the first time ever next month though... i'd have to come up with something "nice" for that to cover over...
But i agree also that I need to be probably the "bigger person" as ALWAYS dammit. I need to start talking to her again and just never bring up the damned freakin elephant.
AHHHHHHHHHHH i hate that, but ya.

How important is alcohol to you?
by Peppermint ini feel i drink too much and it concerns me sometimes.
i'm not an alcoholic (isn't that what an alcoholic would say?
) and i never drink in large quantities but if i don't have a glass of wine or a good real ale in my hand of an evening i feel disappointed.

by Thechickennest ini have seen a couple of threads today about ones that went to a convention.
they were complaining that their experience was not good in doing so.
in my opinion when its over its over.

i understand what you mean, and i had a HARD time understanding that when i first came to the board... because when i found out it all was a lie, i left right away...as painful as it was.
What i realized is that EVERYONE has DIFFERENT reasons, and different degrees of being in "the truth". Lots of people have generations of family in the organization, or unbelieving mates. As much as that would NOT have worked for us, I think we all learn we need to respect that everyone has their own way of leaving. Many people take many many years, some decide immediately, it's very individual.
