I spoke to my mother who lives in another state briefly last night and some things she expressed to me have me once again shocked and dismayed. I feel like I have to vent. (I’m now allowed to contact them since my father is in serious ill health). My parents are good people (life long JWs) but in my opinion, the many of JW policies that adherents must follow are divisive and destructive to families and violate basic human rights in the very worst and are rude in the very least. Ultra right wing conservatives say that gays pose the biggest threat to family values, but in my opinion the greatest threat are Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Thanks guys, I did cut & paste from word, I'm trying notepad now. PS I didn't have the heart to duke it out with mom since she sounds and is exhausted from taking care of dad as she needs to wake up twice in the night to give him medicine.

Try Word Pad....Save as unformatted...Copy and paste into your post here.There may be an easier way but that is what I use.

For some reason, if you paste form MS Word it only includes a couple of paragraphs. As the others said - paste from MS Word to MS Works, Notepad or Word Pad. Then copy from there and paste into JWD.
Looking forward to your story.
