  just got off the phone with the judicial committee, the same one that i blew off last sunday.

  i wasn't even sure they'd call, but come to think of it, i think that's just what they're supposed to do if i don't show up.

  they called as a conference call (none of them has been willing to talk to me on the phone alone!

  Congrats on you decision.

  I did a multi-year fade (and moved - although the move was for other reasons).

  Can't imagine what writing a letter like that would be like.

  Please share it with us, if you feel so-inclined.

  When did you notice the yearly pattern of JW life?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how long was it before you became aware that your activities as a jw were the same this year as last year?.

  discounting the regular "5 meetings a week" and "saturday field service", let's look at the average year in a jw's life, beginning with the september service year... september.

  if you haven't been to your district convention you will this month.

  I'm not sure I understand what you are looking for.

  Are you looking for assistance (financial, educational, medical expense, and otherwise) that Jehovah's Witnesses as an organization provide for their own people who happen to have disabilities?

  Or perhaps philosphical rationalizations about why people become disabled??

  Or how to cope if you personally are disabled?

  Please elaborate.

  Pretty sucky situation.

  I would hope that you can apply for financial aid - but recent experience with family member in California is that much aid was denied because the parents 'could' contribute. They just refused to.

  Parents 'qualifications' played a significant roll until - I believe - age 25.

  Under the circumstances I would probably push for independence. It's alot of work, but then so is meeting attendance and parental constraints on an adult living at home.

  Not much help, I know. sorry....

  I do feel for you. VERY impressed that you are going to school. That should be #1. Have you spoken with financial aid? I wish I had pursued college right out of high school. I didn't even start until age 32.

  Maybe my suggestion is: explore all your options. Choose whichever one will ENSURE that you stay in school.

  but her refusal to keep the kids "innocent" is a determining factor on why I will VERY likely get sole custody soon.

  THIS is great news. I am really happy to that there is hope. (You've 'sounded' happier lately...)

  to find out her daddy is not really her daddy would likely hurt her very much

  May also very likely segregate her from her siblings. I've seen this and it's very, very sad - especially in pre-teen years.

  I would have to find out for my own knowledge though. After that, who knows what might happen. But I would have to know, for sure.

  I think I would truly want to know (if I were a guy and in your position) but then... I am not confident that I could keep up the charade if I learned that someone else was actually the biological father of my child. I don't think I'm that good of an actor.

  Tough situation. Truly wish you the best in making your decision.

  i am not posting this to justify my actions, i am doing so for the benifit of any witnesses who are unsure about there feelings toward the "truth".

  i was a reguler pioneer for about 8 yrs, back when it was 100 hours a month, befor thet i did a couple of yrs as a vacation pioneer, they later changed the name to auxilery pioneer, and during the following 20 yrs i had a few intermitant spells as an auxilery when i had time to.

  during my pioneer years i have given talks at circuit assemblies and had assignments at district assemblies .
