You know what Blondie? Your essay read like Dave Barry. You know him? He writes for different newspapers. He has many books published also.
I so agree with you......

my name is dawn and i'm a ex-jw, who has been out since l976.
i live in michigan, was born and raised here but also spent about 3 years in austin, texas (1 of them as a witness - the other two running amouk having fun).
i just spent the last 2 1/2 hours on the phone with my dear old buddy, dave, (seven006) whom i've heard some of you know.
Welcome Dawn to the JWD forum !

hi again, sorry i haven't been able to get to the computer for days now as i am so tired when i get home from the hospital.
yesterday i was just so out of things i had to take a break mentally and emotionally.. it is terrible seeing marco everyday being sick and deteriating.
on sunday after church i went to the hospital and just got there in time to speak to the cadiologist.
(((OFC and Marco)))
That is good news about the kidneys, but I can appreciate your concern about home care.
I know that hospitals want patients out of there quickly (due to insurance). Perhaps it will be only a very temporary situation until there is a place for him in a care facility? I hope that is the case.
I send my love and wish you peace. Please keep us updated as you have a lot on your plate to handle.
Juni
thank you for your help in my time of need.
i woke up thinking of a childhood television program - "father knows best.
" in the episode most memorable to me, the youngest child, kitten (kathy) was sitting on a park bench next to an old man, chirping away in her usual chatty, happy way.
Good evening CoCo.....
There are so many times someone has been kind to me that it has impressed on me that the majority of human beings are kind people. We all have our own personalities, but that is good. Basically people like to do for others.
Gosh........I will give you one example for there are so many.
My one girlfriend with whom I worked w/at an animal rehab center is an especially kind person. We worked together as a team at the center. She would ALWAYS volunteer to do some of the cruddiest and heavy work because she knew I was limited due to arthritis. She would insist. She has always sent me her beautiful handcrafted cards for different occassions; I have kept all of them through the years.
Unlike what the WT organization would have you believe, "worldly" people are for the most part kind and generous. I have never experienced someone being kind to me while looking for something in return.
Nice thread CoCo.

Juni ~~~ a former "self-righteous" beeeetch
if it is true that it has been announced that ex-jw`s are not to get the study watchtowers, then i must put an ultimatum to my wife.
i look through the wt's at the moment to gauge any radical teachings that i may need to counter with my 2 kids.
if my wife rewfuses to give me the 'secret' wt's then im afraid that it is the end of her taking them to the meetings.
Most definitely you have the right, as you're the childrens' father, to know what they are being taught. AND she should respect this as according to WT theology - YOU ARE THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE.
What is going on with all of this secretive stuff? Or is it just their game playing at work?
Juni PS How old are your children?
