My Dad Died Today

he was never a jw and i didn't really have a close relationship with him, since he remarried after my parents divorced.

you missed a meeting for a football game? can i go next time?
by rockmehardplace inwhen i would miss meetings in times past, it would be mostly work related except during football season.
i was always counseled about meeting attendance when it was work related, but when i would use my tickets for sunday football games, i would take three other elders to games with me all the time and they never once mentioned my meeting attendance.
i missed more meetings due to football games than for work.

my own story 2
by James_Slash ini got up to the point where i spoke about my daughter.. so in 2007 i was stopped from seeing my daughter by my ex-wife with the help of her good standing jw family.. my mother is still a jw and remains as one.
we both suffered lies and slander perpretrated by this family which continues to this day.
