  Poor Grandma

  by Dutchy in

  2. friends

  my cousin just called me and gave me some distressing news.

  it seems that last night my grandma was publicly reproved at the kingdom hall.

  my grandma was born is 1900 so she is now well over 100 years old.

  Dutchy,
  That is sad that your grandma.
  A faithful one of old being mistreated like that. You know, the elders would think that as she is "annointed" she would have more spirit operating on her to help keep the congo clean.
  But what it really shows is that it's not what you know, it's WHO you know.
  Be there for your Grandma, she's been around a long time, and family is what is important.
  Make the most of the time you have with her man.
  I do that with mine, despite her twisted JW beliefs, I still love her and see her no matter what.

  Forgotten/Unforgotten Friends

  2. experiences

  since i am recently out of the "truth", i still find that i have a couple of people that i really miss.

  i have managed to get past the stage of obsessing about whether or not certain people still think/care about me.. but, every now and then i wonder about my (ex)best friend.

  she was like a sister to me.

  Kheli,
  I had a friend who was as close as a brother to me.
  He was my best man when I got married and vice versa.
  I couldn't contact him when I was going to be Dfd and was disappointed that I missed letting him know.
  He had moved to another town by then.
  Anyway, about 5 years later I was visiting my Dub mother and he called in to visit.
  I saw him come to the door and Mum answered it, she gave him a big hug and I sat there watching them and it probably showed on my face that I was a bit uncomfortable.
  He saw this and motioned to me that it was ok, then he came and gave me a hug.
  You know, it was very touching. I really missed him.
  The fact that he signalled to me it was alright indicates to me that the strength of our friendship was and remained strong despite my being out.
  Maybe after all those years he was glad to see me.
  We haven't seen each other since, but I am glad I got to spend a couple of hours with him.
  It could be the same with your friend.
  One thing though, has she paid off the loan?? If not, do you think that will cause a problem for you??

  Single at 40 .JW virgins.

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  come on admit it, if you were brought up a witness you were dead scared that you were going to end up like the men you saw prowling the assembles and congregations looking for wives.. there would always be men and women in there 30's and 40 who had never had a boy or girl friend.. i used to know quite a few.. the horror of their lives shocks me.. now i not dissing anyone who has chosen not to marry that is their choice.but these people i know want to meet someone and get married.. but the bad news is that the older they get the harder it is to find a wife .what makes it worse is that the choice is so limited.. many of these grown men are even affraid of women .

  why?.

  because they are taught that even to look at a woman is to commit imorality let alone talk to one.. i knew a brother who had never had a girl friend , he was about 26 at the time.now a sister asks to go out with him so he accepts.quite soon she wants to hold his hand.. this brother now tells her off, for in the family book it says holding hands is only for people who are going to get married.. he doesn't go out with such a spiritually weak sister again.. what has the socity done to these peoples lives.. many people who were once happy teenagers hoping to meet the wife or husband of their dreams are now approaching 40 or even older and have never even had a girlfriend.theri only hope is the new system and i don't want to breack the news to them but its not coming.

  It is sad alright.
  I grew up that way, got married at 22 to a worldly who was studying.
  I have a brother and a sister in their late 20s who are single and thankfully aren't virgins.
  They aren't going to meetings and are actually enjoying life.
  But, I feel they are still trapped with that dub mentality.
  While they were active they were wanting a mate with spiritual qualities, but now they have flagged it all.
  I hope they find themselves a real partner to spend their lives with and have families.
  While I was a dub and married I never entertained the thought of a family as the end was near.
  I've been out for 7 years now and my life is so much better.
  I have a wonderful partner and a beautiful 18 month old daughter and another one on the way.
  Another sister I have who is younger than me (although she doesn't look it) has 3 great children that are almost in their teens.
  Despite being a dub for a long time, she is now out and has her children with her so they can grow up as normal people without the hangups we had.

  Main now Friends?

  by Outaservice in

  2. friends

  i noticed the 'main' part of the board is now called 'friends'.. didn't the witnesses use to refer to each other as 'the friends'?.

  maybe we ought to change it to 'ren.dez.vous brothers and sisters'?.

  just a thought!.

  Best National Anthem

  by Mulan in

  2. friends

  okay, let's do a poll.. since it looks like many of us are watching the olympics, let's vote on which country has the best national anthem.. i love canada's.

  i find myself hoping a canadian will win, so i can sing along to their song.. when the russians win, i get a cold disquieting feeling, since they adopted the old soviet anthem again.

  too many memories of the old ussr.. marilyn (aka mulan).

  he was 63, one month shy of his 64th birthday.

  my 1/2 brother, age 19, who has been living with him trying to get off drugs, found him in his bed.

  Puffs,
  I am sorry to hear of your loss, and that because of the borg your relationship with him was not the best.
  I was the same with my Dad until I got Dfd.
  He was the only one there for me.
  I was blessed to have almost 7 years of him in my life.
  I lost him last month.
  Think of all the good times and talks you had. Keep him in your heart.
  Thinking of you.

  i haven't posted more than a reply or two to various topics these last few weeks.

  i haven't seen any evidence of my mom (mulan) in as long.. i have started to post the whole story but it is too long and probably unbelievable.

  anyway, here is the short version.. 89 year old grandma fell and broke a vertabrae.

  Hey Princess,
  Sorry to hear about all the hassles you have with JW family.
  I'm in the same boat at times and it seems to get worse now and then.
  My mother is JW and her mother as well.
  They are both manipulative and I have been victim of their schemes in the past.
  When I was Dfd I missed my family so much, but accepted the medicine and made the most of the time I had with my Dad.
  Now, my sisters and brother have moved to Australia and there is no one for them to meddle with.
  They have kept at arms length for many years and now I grace them with my presence as the need arises.
  I feel for you as it is very frustrationg when they make demands on you that you have not committed, they take you for granted and expect you to fall in line with their wants and needs.
  Mum is very much like that and although we love her dearly, she has her strange and funny ways.
  My partner wondered if it was a trait in my family or if all JWs are like that.
  I guess in my case it's a bit of both.
