i wonder if we each put up who we lost from our lives and how long ago if it would be a testament to those who might find this thread and think.

the absurdity.. my parents: 12 years.

my brother: 12 years (he is now married).

What a list.

Guess I was thinking about memorial day and sadder for the people who consider me dead than those who actually are.

Hi Ninja. How's life? You getting along?

when we leave the wbt$ religious cult "jehovah`s witness`s"..the wbt$ encourages our familys to have little,or nothing to do with us..........our own jehovah`s witness parents will do exactly as the wbt$ commands..mine did.......my jehovah`s witness parents told other jehovah`s witness`s,"i hated all jehovah`s witness`s"..not true..i just did`nt like the religion..i had no problem with most individual jw`s.............................how did your jehovah`s witness family treat you,when you no longer wanted to participate as a jehovah`s witness?...........................................................................outlaw.

I've been dead 12 years now; except they remember to send me the WT quotes that call me satan's follower.

Did you Observe Medical Emergencies Occur While Meetings Continued On?

i've thought a lot about this over the years .

bonafide's thread reminded me of this and how unethical and insensitive it was for jehovah's witnesses meetings to go on without stopping while some rank and file members were having medical emergencies right in the kingdom hall.

my experience i will never forget.. in 1983 i was among some pioneers who were giving experiences at a circuit assembly in front of a crowd of about 2,000. this 83 year old sister was standing at the microphone and when she got done with her part - she sat next to me in her chair on the stage.

There is an older thread on this if I can find it. Lots of horror stories.

We got back from Field Service and found an elderly brother who had gone to mow the lawn dead on the grass. I called his wife who was at home and went with her to the hospital. The group drove past us in their cars and went back out door to door because the circuit overseer was visiting and they wanted to impress him.

Didn't impress me.

all i can say is that the wt society sure knows how to compartmentalize and pick and choose how they view truth and honesty.

i'll share some of these " golden nuggets " and see what you think.
