  Thank you Terry for sharing this. I had a friend that I met in 1987 when I was still a dub and hating who I was. At the time I was drinking like crazy and ruining my marriage all because I was fed up with being a JW. I worked with this guy at the new job I started and he was instrumental in getting me sober. Our friendship was greater than any I ever had with JW's and we kept that friendship throughout the years. He died a little over 2 years ago and I was devastated. I cried as if he were my family. He is gone, but what he did for me will never be forgotten.

  My condolences to you with you loss.

  Why is it ok for witnesses to go to Church backed hospitals?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  if witnesses should "get out of babylon the great" then why is it ok to go into hospitals that have been set up, and have funding from churches?.

  isnt that a little contradictory or hypocritical?.

  When my daughter was born in 1971 our Dr. was a JW. He was somewhat borderline JW but that was ok because he was a Dr. He was a very good Dr. and a very good person and I wonder how much of the bs he actually believed. I had some very good off topic conversations with him. Anyway......he was associated with St. Joseph's Hospital in Pittsburgh and that is where my daughter was born. There were a few "easily offended and stumbled" a..holes in the cong. that had questions about the hospital but the powers that be stood firm that there was no problem.

  Nice story. So happy for you since I have a daughter who is the same. I love her more than anything and she was smart enough to leave the borg a year ahead of me and I didn't know it. Now we both are happy and she loves me more than when I was a robotic elder. lol

  THE SHADOW OF 75 still hangs over us all . . .

  few of your are old enough to have been there, i suspect.

  i had been in prison two years as a jw conscientious objector when the exciting news about 1975 spread like wildfire.. .

  i was paroled from prison in 1969 and immediately began pioneering.

  I'm feeling for you brandnew.

  In 2003 I was t-boned on my Harley 3 blocks from my house by some 87 year old man who didn't stop for a stop sign. He was upset and said he didn't see me but I still had to spend a night at the trauma unit of a major hospital in Pittsburgh. No major injuries or broken bones but I sure hurt for a month after. Flying through the air wasn't bad, but the landing was what made the hurts. I was 56 years old at the time and got more upset about the bike being totaled and haven't been on one since. You are lucky that you can still make us here on the forum feel for what happened to you and still make some light of it. Take the driver and her insurance company for everything you can.

  back in my teen years this story swept through jw land, that according to, the guinness book of records , freddy franz, was listed as one of the seven, most intelligent , men in the world.

  dose anyone else remember this?

  i remember trying to look it up, but never found anything in print, and ii point that out once or twice , and was told a co, had told about it, and he wouldn't lie!

  When I first started studying in the late 1960's, the congregation servant's (that is what they were called then before the elder arrangement) wife who was a female tyrant said that Freddy was a Rhodes scholar and a Greek scholar. I guess as Jdubs we had our own form of hero worship no matter how much it was embellished.

  Now I know it was a total crock of shit.

  It is a tragic shame what this religion has done and keeps on doing. They have a lot of blood on their collective hands. Ooompah couldn't go on anymore and for him it was the only solution. Some years back another poster "Puter" was in the same situation and chose the same path.

  May they both rest in peace!
