Life is too Short: You are being waaaaaaaay too hard on yourself. You believed and you did everything you could so that you would be able to volunteer...because you had a good heart and a willing spirit. Don't keep dissing yourself. I used to dream of going to Bethel and helping, or being a missionary, but I was/am a nobody in the JW world so that never happened. Don't feel badly because you were loving, kind and willing to give up all you had. You aren't the one who should feel badly.....the people who hurt you and used you are the folks who should feel guilty and beg your forgiveness.
AND you weren't/aren't stupid. Quit saying that. You thought everyone had the goodness that you do....you had to find out the hard way that this isn't true.
Anyway, Take care.

@All for show ~ I agree with your relatives' statement about the corruption. I hate to say it, but I don't trust anyone at the KH. (maybe this says more about me). Also, I think the GB did themselves a great dis-service by bringing themselves to the forefront. When they were 'invisible' the JW atmosphere was of serious Bible study. Now it's a circus and the GB will be/are the butt of many jokes.

This weeks #2 & #3 talk on homosexuality
by granada35 inafter a one year sucessful fade and no longer associated with any congreation, i was visiting my sister this week (who goes to the meeting to please her husband for now; i am slowly planting seeds though) and they decided to year this weeks midweek meeting via the telephone.
since i was a guest in her house, i sat with them in the living room to hear the meeting.
to my surprise (especially growing up as a gay jw with still alot of anger in my heart over how i was treated), the talks 2 and 3 where on, of course, homosexualiy.

Correction: I apologize! I just talked to my son. He said he had C Diff for 2 1/2 months....he has tested negative for the disease, but has to go back to the doc twice more....If he continues to test negative the next two visits, then the Doc feels he will be ok. The anitbiotic he was on, for 14 days each time is, IC MetroNidazole. He is also on a high dose of Probiotics, but doesn't know if they are helping as he still has problems with diarrhea, and hasn't felt well since it it all started. I hope you feel better soon.

Wow @ Finkelstein ~ I'm so sorry.
My 33 yr old son just recovered from it. My son had a fatty tumor (grapefruit-sized) removed from his lower back. After his surgery, he was put on a strong dose of antibiotics. He then contracted C Diff. He was put on one round of antibiotics, then on a second round as the first didn't help. He was told that he would have to recieve a stool transplant if the second round of anti-bio didn't work. He went back to the doc last week and was told that he is doing well, no need for additional treatment.
I don't know the names of the anti-bios, but will ask him and post it later.
Anyway, Take Care,
