ive been twice to hurricane rebuilds.
i helped with hurricane andrew and maryland.
yes, its true that 98 percent of the people we helped were mostly the jw's.
- A while back I heard the Presiding Overseer state that they were having to turn there WT sign out now instead of leaving it on all the time because they were hurting financially.
Wow. I had never heard this one.
It's part of the Advertising, though... When a business is struggling, do you really want to stop advertising? Especially when it's only electricity???

i am starting to notice some posts about ex-j.w.
's being mistreated, abused, by their fathers who were elders.. i wonder if this is quite common?.

My siblings and I were.
Police removed two siblings from the home and there were other police interventions. Early on, neighbors (in a different) state knew of abuse but never reported it. 15-20 years later they talked to me (now an adult) about the abuse they witnessed (beatings with a 1x2 on the front lawn was one type of abuse) and somewhat apologized.
None of us had even a semi-normal childhood.
My dad was a respected, admired and loved elder. Presiding Overseer from 1974 - 1976, I believe.

does anyone here know what the hell that means, just spent a week in the hospital for cellulitis, and while there the blood tests taken, many of them everyday and then i have been set up with appts with internal medicine and the hematology/onconology clinic.
so if anyone has any insight into what this may mean please to let me know.
thanks in advance.
Thanks for popping back in.
Are you home from the hospital now? Any update on medical stuff that you'd like to share?
Let us know, if you are comfortable enough to tell.
-Aude.
brenda, i hope your ordeal will be over soon.
i pray that the chemo works and does so quickly.
you have been on my mind and heart so much.
Always.
Good thoughts and energy directed toward you, Brenda.
-Denise.
a lot has happened to me since march.
i have learned so much.
i hesitated to put this out in jwd, but i now think that if it helps one person, it will have been worth it.
Hi Jez -
I've missed your posts and am happy to know that you still love us (!!! hehe) yet sorry to hear about the pains you have gone thru. It was not in vain, though. You have identified more truth for yourself and for your family. By posting your experience, I am confident that more than a few people will be able to avoid a little pain themselves and perhaps save 6-12months in time striving after something rather futile.
At least it allows them/us an opportunity to better weigh the pros and cons.
Thanks again for a thoughtful post. Real nice to see you again.
-Aude.
