  My JW sister took this book on vacation last year.
  I was surprised. From the little I knew about it, didn't seem like something a diehard witness would read. Is it??

  Family tragedy.........HappyDad

  2. family

  got a phone call from my daughter who lives in florida a couple of hours ago.

  her significant other who i chose to call my son-in-law (because he is the best thing to ever happen to her) got a phone call that his 6 year old daughter was killed in an auto accident near lake placid, florida and his 5 year old son is in very critical condition.

  the ex wife is also critical.

  Funny...
  I'm trying to put names together.
  
  I never met this 'Brother Sinutko' but either his brother or nephew (I forget which) had been in my old congregation. His wife still attended but he was seriously inactive to the point of being 'shunned'. I went to his restaurant/store once or twice but considered him very bad association because he sold Lottery Tickets.
  
  My guess is that 'Live till 75 Sinutko' is aware of many skeletons in WTS closet but, like many many others, choses to look past them.
  
  
  Another memory from my old cong: I was working on a talk with an older sister and during the course of casual conversation mentioned something about the 'new system'. Her response unnerved me: "You don't really still believe that, do you???"
  WTF? She was an active publisher and a 2nd or 3rd generation witness. Odd comment. Last I've heard from her, she's still in.

  She would probably come down with a terrible illness.
  Possibly fatal...
  
  Or else heavily medicated because she developed serious mental illness and needed seclusion.

  "This is for j.w.'s that weren't born into the cult."
  
  
  Oh.
  I was 10 when my parents started studying. They were baptized 6mos later.
  
  I was baptized just a few weeks before turning 14.
  
  I believed all of it with all my mind, heart, soul, body.
