I have a particular affinity to those who search for their families of origin. I was 5 years old when I was told that my mother had been adopted and it took me until I was 40 to find out who my "real" grandmother was. I was obsessed with finding out who my ancestors were. I never stopped looking until I found them

Here is the listing that I found concerning a 17 year old JW girl who gave birth in San Diego back in 1960. Maybe the names and/or circumstances will provoke someone to help this person find their family:

Adoptee Birth Date: 2-23-1960
Adoptee Gender: Male
Adoptee Birth Race: White
Name given to Adoptee by Birth Parents: ?
Adoptee Birth City: San Diego, CA
Adoptee Birth County: San Diego County
Adoptee Birth State: California
Adoptee Birth Country: USA
Adoptee Birth Mothers Name: ?
Adoptee Birth Mothers Maiden Name: (On File)
Adoptee Birth Mothers Race: White
Adoptee Birth Fathers Name: ?
Adoptee Birth Fathers Race: White
Adoptee Birth Hospital: Doctor's Hospital
Adoption Agency or Attorney: ?
Age of Adoptee when Adopted: Given up at birth
Name given to Adoptee by Adoptive Parents: Marc Franklin Clements (Deceased)
City adoption took place: San Diego, CA
County adoption took place: San Diego County
State adoption took place: California
Country Adoption took place: USA
Adoptive Mothers Name: Gloria Clements or Gloria Hogue (This may be misspelled on birth certificate as "Hugue"?)
Adoptive Mothers Maiden Name: Hogue (This may be misspelled on birth certificate as "Hugue"?)
Adoptive Fathers Name: Wallace Clements
Email Address: [email protected]
Searching For: My Father's Birth Parents, Any Birth Family Members, Medical History.
All Other Information: My father was born in San Diego at Doctor's Hospital Point Loma, which no longer exists. This was a closed adoption that took place at the time of his birth. I believe his birth mother was 17 years old and is possibly of Swedish, Norwegian and / or French descent. She was described as looking just like my father (blue eyes and blonde hair). I believe that her mother may have been a member of the Jehovah's Witness Church of San Diego. His birth father may have been 18-22 years old ? at the time of my father's birth. He may have been at university in the area--he was "sent away" to school when my father was born. I believe his father was a well-known neurologist or cardiologist practicing in the San Diego area. They may have been German, or of German descent. (Update) My father Marc was 6'2" tall, with blue eyes and blond hair. He weighed between 175-180 lbs.

If your cat catches a mouse, . . .

by compound complex in

take it away, bleed it, give it back.. reading about the gingerbread man reminded me of this:.

how irrational the society could be was experienced by the sister-in-law of ex-bethelite william (bill) cetnar when .... at the suggestion of her veterinarian, she had a blood transfusion given to her poodle to prolong its life.

she couldn't believe bill [cetnar]when he told her that the society would say she had violated god's law.

OrphanCrow

CC: She was told that she should keep the cat under restraint and be more careful in handling it.

Well, they were sort of right about that. But they missed a good opportunity to actually present her without the correct facts that a cat eating a mouse (and it's blood) would run a risk of catching a disease or picking up a parasite.

A cat that eats mice needs regular de-worming

But, to take the position that she should restrain the cat for the purpose of obeying a dusty old biblical 'law' about human beings abstaining from animal blood is borderline lunacy. Hell, no. It is lunacy

A Former Jehovah's Witness shares her me too story

by LisaRose in

https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/12/16/a-former-jehovahs-witness-shares-her-metoo-story/.

when i was 23 years old, i started dating a (jehovah’s) witness boy and we’d go out to some dance clubs.

there was a night in particular where i had too much to drink.

OrphanCrow

xanhippie: ...despite a very vociferous poster who keeps insisting that women have an easy time of it.

Ah...it sounds like someone is proposing a pro-slavery argument based on "we treat them well and they have it so good...don't know why they are revolting"

sigh

This world will never change. Evolution has such a long way to go before we are a species of civilized beings

You Just Can't Make This S--t Up!

by FedUpJW in

i know this is kind of trivial but i don’t want to partake in something that might have connections with something that jehovah disapproves of.

i checked the watchtower library and i didn’t find anything on gingerbread man cookies.. .

good lord...how incredibly stupid and helpless are jdubs getting?

sparky: What do you get when you cross a gingerbread man with a Smurf?
A Jehovah's Witness' worst nightmare

sparrowdown: Oh yeah they are concerned about gingerbread being pagan but that's only the half of it with these babies. Isn't it about time we all admit the term "ginger" bread "man" is racist and sexist.

Sokay. Got that one covered (except for the color...not sure about that - I'm thinking they need more "shades" of ginger)

Fedup: And then EATING it? Why that imitates cannibalism. Also con-damned! And we all KNOW that they never even attempted to drain any "blood" from the gingerbread man before devouring it!

OMG!!! I never thought of that

Damn....I have ate the blood of a gingerbread man

Damn. I am damned. And so is that poor gingerbread man
