I'm sorry you have to deal with that! I'm in the same boat and virtually had the same experience this year as well. I like the idea from leavingwt....focus on the kids and not teach that kind of hate to them EVER!
I know it's gutwrenching!

This Years Memeorial and MY heartbreak
by PSacramento inso...this years memorial came and went.. on saturday my mom called to invite my wife, myself and my two little girls to the memorial on sunday, i said thank you but said that we won't be going.. on sunday my older sister called inviting us also.. we didn't go, since my eldest daughter asked about it, i explaine dit to her and asked my wife and her if they wanted to do it at home and they said yes.. so after dinner, we all partook of our lord's sacrifice and i explained to my daughters how the taking in of christ's body and blood is symbolic for become one with christ and god.. we always remember christ and his sacrifice and last meal whenever we eat and "say grace" but, becuase of the whoel memorial meal thing, we decided to do a little more.. i read from luke and john.. it was very nice, very special.. then this morning at 8:30 am my mom calls and reams me for 40 min over the phone.. why anyone would think that i or anyone else would want to be a part of an organization that fills people with som much venom and spit, is beyond me.. she basically said that she gives up on me, that i am taken by satan, that satan is working through me and leading me and tha her heart is borken for my little girls.. my mother.... my heart is broken, there is a pain in my gut....

Thugs is right!!! I don't care how much you disagree with them, that was hard to watch. No one deserves that kind of treatment.

I liked it Sab! You sure can tell it was from the heart! You said how I feel, Bravo!
I sucks that we can't even tell them anything. That our eyes and brain, just don't see it the way they do. I really liked that part.

Nope. It was the first one we have ever missed. Several reasons I didn't go:
For my kids - I don't want them to have that as part of their past
I don't want to give family any false hope - because you know they will think that there is still a flicker of hope, would rather they just deal with the reality that we aren't coming back.
They have never showed me from the bible where it says It's ok, NOT to partake of the emblems and still be saved.

Good Job! I like it....I like it ....a...lot (voice of Jim Carrey from Dumb and Dumber)!
It is very interesting how they only have a "line of reasoning" and a few scriptures to attempt to prove what they believe. Once you put a little pebble in the form of another scripture, then let the flustering of them begin.
That someone else actually knows and reads the bible....NO WAY! :)

July 15th WT out - Coming out Swinging at Apostates Hard
by LostGeneration inthis is one of the most aggressive watchtowers i think i have ever read.. four study articles on not "following the crowd" not following unrealities(page 13) not following false teachers, meaning apostates of course(p 15).
avoiding false teachers means "refusing to read their literature, watch tv programs that feature them, examine their web sites, or add comments to their blogs.
(para 7, pg 16).

June 1st public WT - Does God Have an Organization?
by LostGeneration inanyone read this yet?
more of the same cheerleading and self-worship of the jw organization.. on page 14, they even pull a few quotes from the bible, but not their own!
that of course is because when freddy was writing his version of the bible, he forgot to put "organization" into the text, so now they pull a few quotes from these sources to justify worship of "organization!.

Oh dear! LOL

When time came that I had to explain to my kids our beliefs and I decided to start fresh with no preconceived ideas about what is true and what is false. I researched the bible and watchtower publications, what I found turned my world upside down....actually it's what I didn't find. I wanted to say something better than, "because the Society says so" To think I actually thought everything I had ever known would be proved true....OUCH!
Where to go from there!? LOL
