This is about out beloved Dansk

by mouthy in

how sorry i was to hear from dansk-he is going through a very difficult time.. i would like all prayers, thoughts, please keep this in mind ____ for me!!!!.

the sad news he has cancer.it is lymphoma!!!

they are waiting on the results of the biopsy before determining treatment..... he didnt want me to say anything at first- as he feels you all have your own problems & he didnt want to upset anyone-because he says "they are dear friends".

Alleymom

I'm glad he was nice to you, Ian, and it was a nice gesture on both your parts, and will go a lot further rather than snubbing and shunning those brothers you once loved.
Take care, dear one, and know we love you!

Well said, Annie!

BTW, doesn't it touch your heart to see the outpouring of love of affection for Ian and Claire and their family? I usually do a lot more lurking than posting on this forum, but I feel a closeness to all of you who are rooting and wishing (and praying) for Ian as I am.

What a real tonic your messages are. They really are so dear to me!

Then we'll just have to keep them coming, Ian!
Happy Monday! May you be blessed and be a blessing to someone today.

September 1,2004 WT Beware The Voice of Strangers

i managed to get my scanner working on another pc.

i'm not sure about the policy about posting scans of watchtowers here so if you want me to send you the scans let me know.

the scans are in a zip file which is password protected.

Alleymom

Steady! You're actually quoting, not from verse one, but verse two of Hebrews 13.

Oooopsy! Thanks, Ozzie!

I'll have to make sure I have the reference right when I make my sign and stand outside KH on October 11-17.

(Just kidding ... I wouldn't have the nerve! But I WILL bring it up to any witnesses at the door in the month of October.)

Annie ---
Thanks! Hugs right back at ya! (If YOU make a sign, be sure to say Hebrew 13:2, NOT Hebrews 13:1!)

"Do not forget to entertain strangers,
for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it."
Hebrews 13:1 [NIV]

"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers,
for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it."
Hebrews 13:1 [NASB]

I'd love to ask the next witness at my door about that verse and why the WT warns against strangers without adding that strangers MAY be a blessing. For all the person at my door knows, I might be an angel. Perhaps I was sent to bring him a blessing from God.

Ian --

Keep checking your email. I sent you several emails tonight (I found some new information after I posted the first one). I want to make sure you don't miss the one that has the address you were looking for.

Hugs,

A question for those recruited as adults

by kls in

i remember who my husband was before we were recruited,you know what i mean, his humor,his daringness.

i am sure i changed also but only to an extent because i had to many doughts.

as i quickley ran from the cult ,i could sit back and see the person that i married into the person that the watchtower created.

Alleymom

My sis was a compassionate and loving mother to her children. She spent a lot of time with them teaching them and playing with them--always sweetly loving and attentive to their needs. Now her sons are Dfd and she doesn't speak to them at all. She has cut them off completely and now speaks of them robotically. It is like the invasion of the body snatchers--what have they done with my sister!

{{{{ Cyber-sista }}}} I bet you are a good aunty to your sister's sons. How sad these stories are! Keep hoping ... Marjorie

Just got some news from Claire. The telephone just rang and it was STEPHANIE asking how I was. Claire said she had a really good chat with her.

Yaaaaay!!!!

I?m sorry I can?t make the BBQ due to a previous booking for which I?d forgotten we had tickets.

So what did you and Claire go see? I guess dinner at a nice restaurant is out of the question, just now? Or are there some good vegetarian restaurants where you could go and still stay on your diet?

Hugs,

Alleymom, i have told him how he changed and he tell's me it is all in my head. He was raised Luthren and i was raised Catholic.

{{{ kls }}} That is just so sad. Is there any way he would agree to marriage counseling? If he thinks it's all in your head, do you think you could ask him to come with you to counseling so YOU can get help dealing with YOUR feelings? I taught Lutheran Sunday School for years. It makes me feel bad to think that your husband was raised Lutheran (a church which emphasizes the priesthood of all believers) and turned from that to an organization which is SO high-control and which strongly discourages independent thinking. Could you gently remind him of the good times and memories of the past by looking at old photo albums or home movies? (But I am afraid that would just make YOU feel worse). Somewhere deep down it would seem as if he ought to recognize how much things have changed. Part of him must miss the wonderful feelings you had for each other when you first fell in love. Praying that things will improve ... Marjorie
