Your loving kindness had to take him aback. All of us "apostates" are supposed to be venom spewing raving lunatics.

this is kind of a secondary thread to the one i started about my conversation with my mom the other day about the bethel thing with my older brother !
so, my mom starts talking with me about my dad 82, an elder in the congregation for 53 years being drained and exhausted , and stressed as he has no help in his book study he conducts !
as some of you know , my sister, who lives near my parents just had a stroke , and my mom and dad have been having to help her out with her house, feed the cat while she is in physical therapy - and drive down an hour one way to see my sister in physical therapy , a lot to do for them being 80 and 82 !
Flipper,
I hope that your father can get some relief from his duties. The younger elders prefer the title to actually doing anything, it will be interesting how they cope with older ones transferring the workload.

came across this article - .
.
the case goes to court today i think.. you will notice that the org + the local elders are only interested in protecting confidentiality and are refusing to testify.. the rights of the victims are lower on the priority scale.. makes me shudder.
May they all rot in hell.

luke 4:16-19 jesus, went back to nazareth, where he had been brought up, and as usual he went to the meeting place on the sabbath.
when he stood up to read from the scriptures, he was given the book of isaiah the prophet.
he opened it and read,.
DJK,
I thought you were smitten.
I forget, was it The Byrds or not?

Cyril,
Welcome to JWD!
Is it still The Byrds?
JK
i kind of submitted a 'closure' letter to the local jw's.
i don't actually know if it will be posted - but the local editor has printed all my past letters - and all of them have been far more critical and pointed than this one.
i think he will print it - we shall see.
Jeff,
Keep pounding the newspapers, dude. The only thing I might suggest is to take out some of the inflammatory comments, such as "sales-group."
JK
well it's been about 2 to 3 months since i did a thread like this , so how have you all been doing in life?
relax , pull up a chair and your favorite cocktail , and tell me your problems - or at least how life is treating you.
we can make this a humorous thread or it can be serious , it's up to you.
Flipper,
Excellent advice as always! Thank you for the empathetic words.

He can paint too? I thought he was just a carpenter.

anyone here into doom?
any circle of true doomsters?
or just into true old-school heavy farkin' metal?.
Black Sabbath recycled for a new generation. Not necessarily a bad thing, is it?
